# 10.27.2026 Special City Council Meeting

The City of Mabton City Council met on October 28, 2026. The council approved the consent agenda items A–D after discussing expenditures, including approximately $3,551 in monthly miscellaneous credit-card charges, $2,200 for inmate housing, $6,924 for cemetery work expected to be partly reimbursed through insurance, and about $9,500 for generator maintenance. Members asked for supporting invoices, the well-maintenance plan, and more information about insurance deductibles and reimbursement timing. The council was advised that an item to approve a quote from Clips could not be added as a final-action item during the meeting under the Open Public Meetings Act; the mayor was advised to use signing authority if applicable and bring the item back for the next regular meeting. No quote amount was stated.

The mayor reported that a $10,400 AgWest grant had supported City Park work, with remaining funds potentially set aside for dumpsters and playground equipment in 2027; a drip irrigation system was also being considered. The city said Gray & Osborne charges for development-related work are initially paid by the city and then billed to developers. Other discussion covered recruiting a school resource officer under a 75/25 cost arrangement and ongoing audits, but no related procurement award was made. A resident request concerning rose-bush placement at the cemetery was tabled.
