Council Meeting - September 8, 2026

The City of Gardina held a council meeting on September 8, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions and approvals. Notably, the council authorized the purchase of a 2027 Ford F550 Superduty cab with Roadline graffiti truck from National Autofleet Group, Inc. for $185,700.66 to replace an aging vehicle used for graffiti abatement. This purchase was funded through the fiscal year 2026-27 budget and utilized a cooperative piggyback contract. Additionally, the council introduced an ordinance updating the municipal code related to parks, recreation, and human services, modernizing rules and clarifying staff authority, though this did not involve direct financial impact. The meeting also recognized the city’s receipt of the Government Finance Officers Association Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the sixth consecutive cycle, highlighting the city’s commitment to fiscal responsibility. Other agenda items included planning commission actions on site plan modifications and administrative adjustments, but no direct procurement actions were taken on those items. The meeting concluded with community announcements and adjournment to a closed session.
