The City Council of Aberdeen held a meeting on August 24, 2026, where several procurement and capital improvement topics were discussed. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a detailed update on the Water Reclamation Facility project, which is about 50% complete.

A change order was approved with a net increase of $421 and an extension of 27 days to the project timeline, reflecting minor adjustments and cost savings. Additionally, the council approved an amended animal shelter services agreement increasing monthly payments from $6,400 to $7,000 with a 3% annual adjustment, and authorized awarding a $244,593 contract to Wright and Sudlow for street maintenance concrete repair. They also approved a $264,682 pay request to Reedy Construction for North Dakota Street roadway improvements, reducing retainage as the project nears completion. The meeting concluded with approval of claims and payroll and reminders about upcoming budget hearings and promotional fund applications.
