# City Council 10-27-2026

The Norwalk City Council meeting on October 27, 2026, included approval of the consent calendar, reported as unanimous, and consideration of a Recreation and Parks procurement. The Council approved a noncompetitive, sole-source purchase from Spring City Electrical Manufacturing Company of 41 city-standard LED light fixtures for Calf Pasture Beach, at a cost not to exceed $237,636. Staff said the fixtures are proprietary, match the City’s adopted standard and existing foundation bolt patterns, and address deterioration and pole movement at the beach; the LED fixtures are also expected to reduce electricity and maintenance costs. Council members debated the price and lack of competition, with one member indicating opposition, but the purchase ultimately passed. Installation is separate from the purchase price.

The consent calendar also authorized acceptance or implementation of several police grants, including up to $44,981.78 for drug-recognition enforcement instruction, $22,000 for a bulletproof vest partnership grant, $10,000 for ticket enforcement, and $20,293 under the FY2026 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, with an additional vehicle-capital contribution described in the transcript. The stated amount for the DUI enforcement grant and the remaining vehicle-capital balance were garbled, so they cannot be confirmed from the transcript. The meeting also included agreements for City events and parks use; no other major purchasing actions were identifiable.
