# Bossier City City Council Regular Meeting - November 3, 2026

The Bossier City Council’s regular meeting on November 3, 2026, included adoption of the 2027 general and capital budgets. During the public hearing, a resident praised the city for closing an approximately $2 million general-fund deficit and urged the council to maintain reserves, citing about $76 million in combined principal and interest payments due in 2030 in the 2025 report. The council also opened demolition bids for 606 Joanne Street, including an Eagle Industries LLC bid of $8,450 with a bid bond; the transcript indicates another bid was submitted, but its details are unclear. For demolition at 301 Joanne Street, against a $24,500 estimate, bids were $22,500 from Eagle Industries and $26,500 from Priority Environmental Services. The council approved the bid readings; no contract awards are recorded.

The council advanced an ordinance on first reading to appropriate $165,000 from the 2026 Riverboat Gaming Capital Projects Fund for engineering and related services for the 2027 citywide street-improvement project and authorize an agreement with Wagner Engineering Inc. A resident urged competitive bidding or an RFQ; a council member said the firm was a different option from the city’s previous contractor and that the funding would start design work early. The council also approved emergency sewer appropriations of $85,142.84 for rehabilitation of a 42-inch interceptor and $17,350 for a failed sewer main, both from the 2026 sewer capital and contingency fund. Separately, it advanced an ordinance allowing voluntary agreements for businesses to provide police access to cameras through Axon Fusus; officials said there would be no cost to the city, and businesses could withdraw. The council approved a $500 street-closure permit-fee waiver for the Junior League’s King Cake Classic 5K; the transcript also records approval of an MLK parade fee waiver, with no amount stated.
