# Meridian City Council - 9/22/2026

The City of Meridian held a City Council meeting on September 22, 2026, which included several procurement and development-related discussions. Key procurement topics included the approval of the fiscal year 2027 solid waste collection and disposal service rates, and multiple public hearings on development projects such as the Horse Meadows subdivision variance request and the annexation and preliminary plat for the Storm Crest subdivision. The council deliberated on a variance request for a two-foot rear setback encroachment by KB Home due to lot constraints, ultimately approving the variance with caution about precedent. The Storm Crest subdivision proposal included annexation, zoning, and a request for an open ditch waiver, with amenities such as picnic shelters and workout stations; the council approved the project with conditions including a waiver for the Sky Pilot drain and direction for the applicant to work with staff on a play structure location. Additionally, the meeting featured a presentation on the 2026 city survey results, highlighting high resident satisfaction and priorities such as roads, traffic, and growth management. The council also received an update on the East Third Street extension alignment and a detailed briefing on the police department's use of Automated License Plate Readers (ALPR) and Drone First Responder (DFR) programs, emphasizing their operational successes, oversight, and privacy safeguards. Motions to approve the agenda, consent agenda, and various resolutions were passed without opposition.
