The City of Coralville held a council meeting on July 28, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included the awarding of a contract for recycling center site improvements to Eastern Iowa Excavating and Concrete for $246,217.45, which covers asphalt and paving, fencing, and electrical work. The council also approved multiple Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) contracts: a $356,974 water and sewer fund project, a contract for CDBG services with East Central Iowa Governments, and a $198,000 housing rehabilitation roof replacement program for low to moderate income homeowners. Additionally, the council approved a compensation package for the city administrator with a 3-1 vote despite public comments opposing the raise due to concerns about city debt and employee wages.
