# Montgomery City Council Work Session (October 20, 2026)

The Montgomery City Council held a work session on October 20, 2026, to review agenda items and discuss city operations. Procurement-related items included a contract to upgrade the Multiplex’s lighting to LED with no upfront city cost; master agreements for traffic signs, striping materials, and illuminated LED street signs; citywide hydroengineering services supporting the MS4 permit; and installation of stamped thermoplastic crosswalks and pedestrian-safety bump-outs at four intersections on E.D. Nixon and Rosa Parks. Council also reviewed a services agreement to auction surplus City Light equipment, including decommissioned vehicles, and proposed additions for renewal of the Blue Cross Blue Shield group plans and an agreement with Downtown Environmental Alliance and ATM for assessment and remediation of the Capital City Plume. No contract amounts were stated for these items.

The agenda also included authorization for a DOJ FY2026 JAG grant application for $57,666, to be divided between the city and county. Members discussed a possible leaf-vacuum-truck rental, estimated informally at about $7,000 per truck per month, but made no decision. A proposed leaves ordinance was discussed, including removing jail time as a penalty; the amendment would be handled at the council meeting, with no work-session vote recorded. Public speakers requested city support for nonprofit and affordable-housing work, including a $25,000 request for a housing project; the city described an existing infill-housing program offering up to $15,000 per project. The work session transcript records no procurement awards or spending votes.
