The Jenkins City Council held a regular meeting on August 3, 2026, focusing heavily on ongoing and upcoming infrastructure projects, particularly related to water and wastewater treatment improvements. The council approved several contract awards and requisitions, including the award of a bid to Heber Technology for a wastewater treatment plant screen with a six-month lead time, and multiple requisitions for engineering and design services related to the Raven Rock water and sewer line extensions. They also approved administrative service contracts with the Kentucky River Area Development District for grant administration related to water and sewer projects funded by the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority and the Appalachian Regional Commission. Additionally, the council discussed the adoption of new ordinances to improve lien enforcement for city debts and to facilitate condemnation of blighted properties under recent state legislation. Budgetary matters included maintaining the current property and motor vehicle tax rates. The meeting also covered community event planning and road maintenance concerns, but the primary procurement focus was on capital improvement projects and grant administration contracts.
