July 21, 2026 Regular City Council Meeting

The City of Shafter held its regular City Council meeting on July 21, 2026. Key procurement-related actions included the approval of a sole source agreement with Metals Treatment Technologies LLC for lead reclamation and maintenance services at the Shafter Police Department firing range, valued at up to $80,350. Additionally, the council approved the creation of a capital improvement program project for an urban greening tree planting initiative, amending the fiscal year 2026-27 budget to appropriate up to $100,000 and authorizing staff to conduct an informal bidding process for installation of up to 65 trees at designated school and park locations. The meeting also featured an update on the Safe Streets and Roads for All action plan, a federally funded initiative aimed at improving traffic safety through data-driven analysis and targeted countermeasures, with no immediate action requested but plans to return for adoption later in the year. Other discussions included public safety updates and community engagement efforts, but no additional procurement decisions were made.
