The City of Lincoln Park held a council meeting on September 14, 2026, addressing a variety of community concerns and city operations. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of accounts and claims, and a public hearing and resolution to vacate an alley while retaining easements for public utilities. The council also discussed water and sewer rate developments, with a study session planned with Plant Moran to address water loss and infrastructure issues. Several residents expressed concerns about rising water rates, water main breaks, poor restoration work by contractors, and missed waste collection by Priority Waste, prompting calls for improved contract management and accountability. The council deferred an ordinance amendment related to marijuana license transfers pending further legal review. Additionally, the city manager reported progress on property easements and infrastructure projects. Community members also raised issues about the allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds, particularly opposition to spending on surveillance cameras instead of infrastructure improvements. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of community events and encouragement for public involvement in city initiatives.
