# Finance Committee Meeting | 10-1-26 | 4 p.m.

The City of High Point Finance Committee met October 1, 2026, and approved item 2026-338, a three-year, $79,000 agreement with Glacier for a movable AI scanner at the recycling facility. The scanner will help assess whether additional recyclable material can be recovered and whether further optical-sorting equipment would be a worthwhile investment. The committee also approved item 2026-340, a task order with on-call contractor CITI Incorporated to upgrade the SCADA system at the Ward Water Treatment Plant; the stated amount was $250,039 (the transcript renders it as “$250,39”).

The committee heard a request to purchase two replacement paratransit vans through an N.C. DOT state contract for $196,594, funded in part by a federal transit grant; the City’s $49,148 share is already included in the FY 2026–27 budget. The old vehicles will be declared surplus and auctioned. The transcript does not capture a vote on this request. Human Resources also presented amendments to personnel-resolution provisions concerning salary-plan transitions, probationary increases, and an additional Christmas-season holiday; no vote on those amendments is captured.
