The Long Beach Town Council meeting held on July 13, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved the consent agenda, which encompassed payment of invoices to vendors such as Bregy Nelson & James, Sender Dalton, Hazen Associates, and Wal Constructors LLC, totaling over $150,000. Updates were provided on capital improvement projects including the Lakeshore Drive roadway improvement plan, which is expected to incur additional costs due to necessary concrete and gutter work.
