City of Marengo Packet Summary — 2026-07-22
City Council Meeting — July 22, 2026, 6:00 p.m.
The City Council is scheduled to meet at Marengo City Hall, 153 E. Main Street. The agenda includes financial reports and bills, an IT infrastructure change order, a proposed process for disposing of city real property, the swearing-in of a police officer, and departmental updates.
Key Items on the Agenda
IT Firewall & Switch Upgrade Change Order
Under old business, the Council is scheduled to consider approving an $840.00 quote from Marco Technologies for an IT firewall and switch upgrade change order covering City Hall and the Marengo Police Department.
- The proposed funding source is Capital Expenditures.
- The agenda identifies the item as a change order for the firewall and switch upgrade.
- Council approval is requested for the quoted amount.
Proposed Disposal of 605 Court Ave
The agenda includes Resolution #27-11, which proposes disposing of real property at 605 Court Ave and publishing a notice of public hearing.
The agenda does not provide additional details about the property disposition or a public-hearing date. The July 22 item is therefore a proposed procedural step toward a future public hearing, rather than the public hearing itself.
