# City Council Meeting: November 9, 2026

At the November 9, 2026 Eugene City Council meeting, council approved the consent calendar 8–0; the transcript does not identify its individual items. Procurement-related public comment focused on the city’s five-year solid-waste and recycling contract for city facilities, which a speaker said was awarded to Sanapack/Waste Connections without solicitation or public notice under Administrative Order 44-2501F. The speaker said local licensed haulers were not invited to compete. No council discussion or action on the contract followed. Speakers also urged the city to continue studying options for the hazardous Mill Race low-head dam; one cited an estimated $5–6 million price tag, but no funding or contract decision was made. Councilors discussed interim warning signs, and the mayor noted that work on intersection safety cameras and surveillance policy would return at future work sessions. A speaker requested transparency about camera vendors and data capabilities; no vendor selection was reported.

The city manager said staff had formed a strategy team to review the legal, technical, and financial requirements for implementing a voter-approved climate initiative, with an update anticipated in the first quarter of 2027. Other public comments raised upcoming budget pressures affecting the library and emergency medical response. These were concerns and requests, not spending decisions at this meeting; no new procurement award or spending allocation was identified.
