# City of Coeur d'Alene - City Council Meeting - November 3, 2026

The City of Coeur d’Alene City Council met November 3, 2026. Procurement and infrastructure actions included approval of Resolution 26-084 awarding HDR Engineering a $190,113 professional-services agreement to update the wastewater rate and fee study for the 2028–2032 planning period; approval of a $283,841.90 change order for the Northeast Water Tank Project, within its approved $5 million budget; and approval of Resolution 26-087 to purchase a 2027 Western Star vacuum truck through cooperative purchasing. The truck’s exact price is unclear in the transcript: it gives $68,622, while discussion refers to a roughly $600,000 truck. The council also approved a memorandum of understanding with the Panhandle Parks Foundation for a John Morrison memorial near Independence Point; the agreement does not obligate either party to spend funds without separate approval, and fundraising is planned.

The council held a legislative hearing on proposed fee changes affecting several departments, including parking, animal control, fire, parks, police, and wastewater. Discussion focused on downtown parking permit and courtesy-notice fees, potential seasonal parking rates, and animal impoundment costs; the Downtown Association requested time to work with staff and Diamond Parking on alternatives. The transcript ends during deliberation, before any final fee-resolution vote is shown. Separately, staff described the annual leaf-collection program, starting November 12, and its dependence on rented equipment and an airport agreement for leaf disposal; no related purchase or spending vote was recorded.
