The City of Aberdeen City Council meeting, titled October 5, 2026 (metadata date October 6), included approvals for several infrastructure payments and a parks and recreation budget supplement. The council approved approximately $20,000 in final retainage to REI Construction for completed roadway improvements, and approved water-tower/transmission-line payments of $108,686.48 to Damm Construction and $99,892.52 to Landmark Structures. A separate water-treatment-plant roofing payment was also approved, though its amount is unclear in the transcript. The council approved the second reading and final adoption of an ordinance supplementing the 2026 parks and recreation budget.

The council approved publishing notice of a public hearing on extending the data-center building-permit moratorium, with the extension itself to be considered later. It tabled a proposed $426,000 HKG Architects agreement for construction-phase professional services on the public works maintenance building, pending further review of the prior design-services spending and the new agreement’s costs. The meeting also included public comments about data-center impacts and an update that city and county representatives planned to discuss forming a data-center task force. No vendor selection or award for data-center work was made.
