The Bellflower City Council held its regular meeting on September 14, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the introduction and approval of Ordinance 1461, which delegates authority to the city manager or their designate to approve or deny subcontractor substitutions on city public works contracts. This change aims to expedite project timelines by avoiding delays caused by council approvals for subcontractor changes, with a commitment to report such changes back to the council for transparency. Additionally, the council reviewed and approved a three-year contract extension with Mercy House for homeless shelter services, with a contract amount not to exceed approximately $1.66 million for the initial nine months and anticipated inflationary adjustments thereafter. Funding sources for this contract include Measure A funds and state permanent local housing allocations totaling about $750,000 annually. The council also received updates on ongoing city projects such as tree planting and public safety initiatives but no other direct procurement actions were noted.
