Common Council Regular Meeting

The City of New Britain's Common Council held a regular meeting on June 24, 2026. The meeting included a public participation segment where residents raised concerns about community safety, housing, and local development projects. Key procurement-related actions included the council's approval of a sole source purchase order for proprietary software and support services used by the finance and other city departments, valued at $73,288. Additionally, the council authorized $90,000 from the capital project bond account for engineering work on the Allen Street Phase 2 project. Another significant capital improvement project approved was the Complete Streets improvement on Myrtle Street, with a budget of approximately $4.9 million, largely funded by external sources with the city covering 20% of the cost. These approvals reflect ongoing investments in infrastructure and technology to support city operations and community development.
