# Special Meeting - 10/24/2026

The City of Norwalk held a special strategic-planning meeting on October 24, 2026, to review and refine council priorities, improve communication between staff and council, and discuss how strategic goals should connect to budgets and implementation timelines. Council members discussed goals related to public safety and quality of life, the natural environment, traffic and mobility, fiscal strength, and organizational excellence. They supported more frequent quarterly progress updates and a public-facing dashboard; staff said it would provide quarterly updates and develop the dashboard. No formal vote or contract award was identified.

A procurement-related update concerned the bus stop equity project: the city reported that the project was technically fully funded through federal funding secured over multiple rounds, that architectural and engineering work was approximately 90–95% complete, and that it expected to issue an RFP in January. The meeting also emphasized that future strategic initiatives may require separate funding decisions and that priorities should be linked more clearly to the budget. No specific dollar amount or vendor was stated.
