Lonoke City Council Meeting 4/13/2026

The Lonoke City Council meeting held on April 13, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a bid from A+ Builder to begin work on a community center project starting May 20th. They also authorized a $2,000 local match to participate in a federally funded regional trail planning project involving Lonoke and Prairie counties, aimed at assessing the feasibility of a multi-use trail system. Additionally, the council passed a resolution to pursue grant funding for lighting improvements on the Highway 31 North I-40 multi-use path, weighing options between rebidding or seeking grants to cover costs estimated around $130,000. An amendment to the 2025 operating budget was also adopted. Other topics included discussions on volunteer fire department staffing, waste collection services, and enforcement of local ordinances related to property maintenance, but these did not involve direct procurement actions.
