# Common Council Regular Meeting

The City of New Britain's Common Council held a regular meeting on September 23, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included the approval of a 33-month lease agreement for a reconditioned copier for the Fire Department administration office from UBLC ANA Office Systems. The council also authorized the purchase of a refurbished ambulance and related medical equipment totaling approximately $322,498, funded through a municipal grant without requiring additional city funds. Additionally, the council approved a $154,700 purchase order to AKRF for the design of a pedestrian traffic signal safety improvement project and a $47,025 purchase order to Schaers Plastics North America for 793 rollout trash and recycle containers. The council accepted a donation from the Hospital of Special Care valued at $2,500 to equip a sensory-friendly classroom at Osgood Park, including alternative communication boards to support accessibility and inclusion. Motions to adopt these items were passed unanimously. The meeting also featured resolutions recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and Hunger Action Month, but these were not directly related to procurement.
