June 23, 2026 Norfolk City Council Formal Session

The Norfolk City Council held a formal session on June 23, 2026, where they addressed various agenda items including public comments, public hearings, and consent agenda approvals. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of an ordinance authorizing an agreement for the use of city vehicles with Norfolk Fest Events Limited, and a resolution supporting applications to the U.S. Department of Transportation for funding under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, specifically for a Tidewater Drive safety project. The council also approved amendments to land disposition contracts and rental fee ordinances, and appropriated funds totaling over $525,000 from federal asset forfeiture programs, donations, and state behavioral health grants to support city services. Additionally, a conditional use permit for a short-term rental was denied following Planning Commission recommendations. Several ordinances were adopted to amend city codes related to public transit enforcement, rental agreements, and permit fees, which may impact future procurement and vendor activities.
