The Aberdeen City Council meeting, identified in the title as September 28, 2026 (the metadata timestamp is September 29), approved several spending items. Council approved a $238,592 payment to Landmark Structures of Fort Worth for completed Schedule B work on a water-tank project, including coating, tank erection, and roof construction. It also approved a $68,380 payment to Woods Fuller for legal services on the Windswater partnership project; the city will be reimbursed by project partners BDM Rural Water and WEB. A lime slaker equipment purchase was discussed, including a 10% down payment and an expected winter project period, and approved. Council also approved a parks, recreation, and forestry budget supplement funded largely by donations. The city engineer described pursuing state revolving-fund support for lead service-line replacement, including potential principal forgiveness of up to 49%; a replacement plan is due by November 1, 2027, and staff is seeking to advance the project onto the state water plan.

Council discussed working drafts of data-center ordinances but took no action on them; the city attorney said they were not ready for public presentation and indicated a possible proposal next week to extend the moratorium. Staff also reported early-stage affordable-housing work, including identifying potential development sites and exploring partnerships, but no procurement or spending decision was made. Public comments addressed data-center oversight, housing and emergency shelter needs, and water service concerns. No vendor selection or contract award was identified for the housing or data-center discussions.
