# Sioux Falls City Council Meeting | October 20, 2026

The Sioux Falls City Council’s October 20, 2026 meeting included several unanimous approvals but no RFPs, contract awards, or vendor selections. The council approved a five-year extension of an existing lease for the gated, reserved parking lot north of Ace Hardware, with two additional five-year renewal options. The city described next year’s rate as $88 multiplied by 1.5, increasing by 4% annually; the lease passed 7–0. The council also approved the mayor’s appointment of Brett Collers as parks and recreation director, retail beverage and liquor license items, zoning changes, an annexation resolution, and a write-off of uncollectible receivables over $5,000 per entity; these actions passed unanimously.

During public input, speakers requested a moratorium on data-center development, raised concerns about surveillance cameras, and urged city support for homelessness services, including a proposed storage-locker pilot. These were public comments; the transcript records no council action on them. No procurement-related policy change or new purchasing commitment was identified.
