The Forest Park City Council meeting was held October 5, 2026. Council approved Resolution 44-2026, authorizing a contract with UNA Solutions for replacement budget software after the city’s existing system no longer met operational needs and its vendor discontinued the product. The resolution passed 6–0. During public comment, the stated cost was clarified as approximately $60,556 for one year of service; discussion referred to recurring costs and a roughly $200,000 total over five years, but the figures were not fully reconciled in the transcript. Council also approved a resurfacing project for parking lots at Central Park, Temper Meadows Park, and the municipal lot. Three bids were received, and Cincinnati Asphalt was identified as the lowest and best bidder, below the budgeted amount; the resolution passed 6–0. No contract amount is audible in the transcript.

Other business included a 6–0 vote not to request a hearing on the transfer of a liquor permit for China Garden, and a 5–1 vote to terminate an appointment to the Parks and Recreation Commission. The council also heard an update on the city’s Boys & Girls Club partnership, with no new spending action identified. Residents raised questions about the city’s opt-out energy aggregation program; officials described its fixed-rate approach and reported $2.9 million in community savings through June 2026. Parking enforcement, emergency preparedness, and redevelopment sites were also discussed, without new procurement approvals identified for those matters.
