# 10.20.2026 - City Council Regular Meeting

The City of Oroville regular City Council meeting, identified in the title as October 20, 2026 (the metadata lists October 21), included several public-works project updates. Staff said final design documents for the Corp Yard were under review, with work expected to begin in early November; the Pioneer Museum reroof was delayed by rain; and the Norton Street project was likely postponed until early spring because materials could not be sourced on schedule. Staff had tentatively selected four firms for on-call civil engineering and surveying services, with possible award scheduled for Council consideration on November 17. The City also plans to seek a state parks grant for park improvements after community input, and staff credited BCAG’s assistance in securing air-quality mitigation funds for projects. No specific contract amounts or vendor names were provided, and no new contract award was made during the reported discussion.

Council introduced an amendment to the sewer connection-charge ordinance to clarify fee terminology and EDU calculations, align mobile-home calculations with SCORE charges, and address SCORE review of larger residential developments; staff reported no fiscal impact. The transcript indicates Council voted to approve the amendment’s JPA-related item by six votes, removing an automatic 20-year termination provision from the SCORE agreement and adding indemnification language. Council also voted six in favor of canceling the November 3 regular meeting and adopted the consent calendar with six yes votes. No reportable closed-session actions were announced; staff direction was given. A Council member requested future discussion of downtown zoning and business impacts, but no action was taken on that request.
