City of Fountain City Council Meeting 07/14/2026

The City of Fountain City Council held a meeting on July 14, 2026, where several procurement and infrastructure projects were discussed. Key procurement actions included the approval of a resolution (26-035) to sign a construction contract with CND Electric for traffic signal improvements at the Ohio Avenue and Jimmy Camp Road intersection. The contract was awarded following a competitive bidding process, with CND Electric submitting the lowest qualified bid. The council also approved a resolution (26-034) to transfer the city's 2026 private activity bond volume cap allocation to El Paso County to support housing projects, as the city currently has no identified projects for this funding. Additionally, the council considered zoning ordinance amendments to facilitate commercial and industrial development, including reducing side yard setbacks in regional commercial zones and removing the special use permit requirement for trucking terminals in industrial zones, aiming to streamline development and attract investment. The meeting included updates on ongoing road construction projects and community engagement events, but no other direct procurement decisions were noted.
