# City Council of Lake Charles Meeting 10-13-2026

The City Council of Lake Charles meeting on October 13, 2026 included several procurement and capital-project items on its agenda. These included appointing a bid-review chair for bridge repair project CP3445 and amending the budget as needed; final-action ordinances to accept bids for downtown holiday wreaths and garland, the CP3051 citywide striping package, and a sewer inspection camera and crawler; and authorizations to purchase street-maintenance and solid-waste vehicles using previously approved purchase options. The agenda also included a proposed agreement with CentralSquare for financial-management software, a property transaction for the Gulf Coast Energy Institute, a budget amendment, and CDBG-DR funding for the second phase of 18th Street reconstruction. No contract amounts or vendor names for the listed bid awards were provided, and the transcript does not record votes or final approval of these items.

Resolutions on the agenda would authorize sealed bids for road-house limestone aggregate under a six-month contract with renewal options and for crane-body service trucks for the water and wastewater divisions. A wastewater treatment plant improvement project was proposed for substantial completion. Separately, a council member said the city had contracted with Colt to haul regulated tires, with removal expected in about a week. Council members agreed to remove agenda item 24, but the transcript does not clearly identify the item; no other procurement action or spending vote is captured. Discussion also covered millage outreach, city maintenance responsibilities, and public concerns.
