# 10.27.2026 Marshall City Council Meeting

The October 27, 2026, Marshall City Council meeting approved the purchase of a street-department crack filler from Midstates Equipment and Supply, the lowest quote meeting specifications. The bid was approximately $92,000 versus $70,000 budgeted; staff said funds originally planned for a bucket truck that will not arrive until 2027 or 2028 could cover the difference, and resale of the existing unit was expected to recover about $10,000, leaving roughly $12,000 in additional net cost. The council also approved a new long-term lease with Enterprise Leasing Company of Minnesota, replacing square-foot rent with a 10% concession fee that staff estimated could generate four to six times more airport revenue, and approved a proposal from Bolton & Menk, not to exceed $35,000, to prepare design and bidding documents for replacement of wastewater Lift Station No. 4. The lift-station project is included in the 2027 capital improvement plan, with bidding targeted for late 2026 or early 2027.

The council also approved its consent agenda, which included street-reconstruction and improvement-report items. In board and commission reports, officials said bids for a housing partnership project came in too high and that it is expected to be rebid in January. Staff reported ongoing pond excavation and Corps of Engineers levee repairs; no contract awards or spending decisions for those projects were described. The mayor nominated the current city-attorney arrangement for consideration at a future meeting; no action was taken on that nomination at this meeting.
