# Board of Aldermen Work Sessoin, Friday, October 30, 2026

The City of Starkville Board of Aldermen held a work session on October 30, 2026, to prepare for its upcoming board meeting. A communications contractor presented results from its ongoing social-media and public-information work, including engagement metrics and planned outreach; the presentation did not identify a new award or contract amount. Procurement-related agenda items included a proposed acceptance of the lowest bids from S&S Landscaping and Nursery, which was held off the consent agenda for consideration at the board meeting, and an engineering task order with Neel-Schaffer, which was slated for the consent agenda. No bid amounts or task-order value were stated.

The board also discussed a sole-source quote from Infosense to repair and update the city’s SL-RAT acoustic sewer-line assessment equipment, intended to help prioritize sewer inspections and use city crews and equipment efficiently; it was slated for the consent agenda, with no price given. An unspecified annual renewal was also marked for consent. These were work-session agenda decisions rather than recorded final contract awards or votes. Other discussion covered a proposed 180-day moratorium, appointments, and personnel matters.
