# City Council Regular Session November 12, 2026

The City of Concord City Council’s regular session on November 12, 2026, included updates on parks bond projects and several infrastructure procurement decisions. Council approved a $17,550 change order for the North Apron Roadway Project at Concord-Padgett Regional Airport, including 23 additional weather days and a budget amendment. It awarded Pike Electric LLC a $3,318,040.80 bid to replace remaining 100 kV insulators on delivery three circuits, authorized a $402,477.50 design contract with Garver for Cottle Creek water treatment plant rehabilitation and sludge-collection improvements, and authorized a $476,000 contract with Hazen and Sawyer to update the city’s water system master plan. All motions passed. Staff also reported that the construction contract for the Academy Gibson Skatepark, Pump Track and Sculpture Garden had been approved, with a notice to proceed being prepared; the Academy Recreation Center project is expected to begin design in FY 2027, with an RFQ/RFP process planned.

The parks bond update reported ongoing construction at J.E. Jim Ramser Park and Dave Phillips Park, and final design work for Hartzell Park before a planned council decision to proceed to bidding. Council approved a three-year, 85% tax-base downtown MSD economic development grant for Brainwashed LLC at 82 Spring Street SW. It also adopted amendments to the city’s technical standards manual and city code. A transportation committee report covered proposed 2026–2035 state transportation projects, including improvements at Poplar Tent Road and Cox Mill Road and several Highway 73 locations; these projects were still pending state review and approval. No other procurement awards were identified in the report on sewer allocation agreements, which are to be considered by local governing boards before the next allocation phase can be released.
