Written with the help of AI from the Eaton City Council agenda, Monday, November 16, 2026.
New city law: Chapter 342
Council will hold a first reading of Ordinance 26-08, which would add and enact a new Chapter 342 in the city’s codified laws. An ordinance is a city law, and a first reading is the first of the readings before council takes a final vote. The agenda does not say what the chapter covers.
Budget change
Ordinance 26-09 is an appropriation amendment, which changes how much money the city has authorized to spend. The agenda lists it for reading and vote on the same night. It does not give dollar amounts or say which funds are affected.
Vehicle and equipment purchases and a sale
Council will consider five resolutions on vehicles and equipment. Resolution 26-46 would authorize the purchase of a public maintenance vehicle, and Resolution 26-47 would authorize the sale of an excess public maintenance vehicle. Resolution 26-48 would authorize the purchase of a Fire/EMS brush truck, which is a vehicle used for fires in grass and wooded areas. Resolution 26-49 would authorize the purchase of a Fire/EMS SCBA package. SCBA stands for self-contained breathing apparatus, the air packs firefighters wear. Resolution 26-50 would authorize the purchase of two Police Division vehicles.
The agenda does not list prices, vendors or the vehicle sale terms.
Routine items and other business
Council will acknowledge the clerk’s journal entries for the October 19, 2026 regular meeting, accept the tapes as the official minutes and acknowledge the October 2026 financial report.

The agenda also lists an executive session, which is a closed-door portion of the meeting.
