# City Council Meeting - October 20 2026

At the October 20, 2026, City of Palmdale City Council meeting, council members continued the open-session city attorney contract item to the next scheduled meeting; no contract award or related spending decision was made. During public comment, a resident asked the city to review its Waste Management contract and pursue discounted trash rates for residents of several low-income mobile-home parks. The council acknowledged the concern, but took no action on the contract or rates. No other procurement or budget decisions were identified.

The council also discussed the process for remote participation and public-comment procedures. After closed session, the council reported no action on the city attorney employment item and said the public employee appointment matter was continued. On existing litigation, Rhonda Perez v. City of Malibu, the council voted unanimously to deny Council Member Alarcon’s request for defense and indemnity. The city said its next meeting was tentatively scheduled for November 9.
