# Study Session of the Aurora City Council, September 28, 2026

The Aurora City Council held a study session on September 28, 2026, during which several procurement-related items were discussed, primarily focusing on grant applications and appointments. The council reviewed two grant applications requiring approval to apply: a $300,000 request for the Aurora Police Department's neurofeedback program aimed at officer wellness, and a $750,000 request for a federal grant to enhance cybercrime investigations related to violence against women. Both grants require council permission to proceed with applications, and council members sought clarifications on funding specifics and program details. Additionally, the council discussed procedural rules regarding emergency declarations for public safety and public health, deciding to continue the discussion to define public health emergencies more clearly. The council also addressed upcoming vacancies on the Planning and Zoning Commission, deciding to reappoint one member and conduct interviews for the other vacancy to ensure experienced and interested public participation.
