Regular Council Meeting Sept 16 2026

The Santan Valley Town Council held a regular meeting on September 16, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. The council approved a consent agenda including an intergovernmental agreement with the town of Florence for municipal court services, a contract with Burgess and Niple for a traffic study related to a proposed traffic signal on Gary Road, a contract with Northstar Communications for traffic signal system assessment and potential upgrades, and an on-call contract with Quality Testing for geotechnical and materials testing services to ensure construction quality. Additionally, the council received a presentation on Proposition 411, a ballot measure to permanently adjust the town's expenditure limitation base, potentially increasing the town's spending ceiling to approximately $850 million starting fiscal year 2028. The council also discussed establishing a formal process for appointing members to boards, commissions, and committees, including the formation of a new five-member Board of Adjustment. A new Adopt-a-Road volunteer program was presented to engage community members in roadside litter removal, with plans to launch in November 2026. No votes were taken on the program during this meeting. The council also addressed future agenda items including a request for a presentation on cooperative purchasing versus RFP/RFQ procedures. Public comments included support for a botanical garden and concerns about data centers. The meeting concluded with a motion to convene into executive session.
