At its September 28, 2026 meeting, the Saco City Council approved a lease-purchase of cardiac monitors for the Fire Department, with a principal amount of up to $284,000.

The council also approved 7–0 an easement to Central Maine Power for electrical installation related to a structure on Foss Road.

The council voted 7–0 to reestablish an emergency temporary prohibition on data centers while the city updates its code, a decision that may affect future development and vendor opportunities.

The administrator reported ongoing street paving and wastewater treatment plant upgrades, and upcoming pavement data collection and planning through CityLogix; no related contract awards or amounts were stated.
