# October 5, 2026 Boone City Council Meeting

The October 5, 2026 Boone City Council meeting included several infrastructure and spending actions. The council unanimously approved Resolution 3615 to advance authorization of a loan and disbursement agreement and issuance of sewer revenue capital loan notes, with a stated ceiling of approximately $4.37 million (the amount is garbled in the transcript). After a public hearing, it also approved the plans, specifications, contract form, and cost estimate for the generator replacement and high-service-pump improvements project; no contract award or project cost was clearly stated. The council approved a wastewater treatment plant expansion tree-removal estimate after staff reported receiving one bid, though the vendor and amount are unclear. It also approved reallocating $8,870 remaining from a $40,000 park vehicle allocation—after a $31,130 vehicle purchase—toward pool engineering and design; the company’s proposal was $9,700.

Public Works discussed schedule delays and wet conditions on the Hancock Drive project involving prime contractor Absolute Concrete. Staff said a proposed cement-stabilization approach was no longer expected to be needed; instead, they were considering rock for soft areas, including up to 180 tons already available (valued at about $10,000), with possible additional work estimated around $7,500 rather than the previously discussed $75,000. No formal change order or spending motion was recorded. Public comments focused extensively on the proposed LightEdge facility and related water, electricity, and environmental concerns; the council took no procurement or approval action on that proposal. It also approved a street-closure application for the October 22 Trunk or Treat event.
