The Oakdale City Council voted on May 26, 2026 to table consensus motion A, which would have authorized the mayor and council to enter into a contract with a firm to prepare the city's 2050 comprehensive plan update.
A council member said that, after reviewing the scope of work, they had concerns and requested that the item be discussed in a workshop setting with colleagues before committing to the contract. Another councilor agreed and moved to table the consensus motion A to a date to be determined. The motion to table was seconded and adopted.
No details on the contract awardee or the firm under consideration were read into the record at the meeting; the council directed that the matter be returned for further discussion at a workshop.
The tabling preserves council opportunity to refine the scope and raise outstanding questions before any contract is signed.
