The Brockton City Council spent the bulk of its agenda on routine confirmations, finance orders and committee referrals, confirming appointments, accepting grant awards and donations, and approving several budget transfers.

Appointments and confirmations: The council confirmed the reappointment of Christina Durham to the Lisonbee Commission and the appointment of Doris Ella Green to the Brockton Beautification Committee after favorable committee reports; roll calls recorded nine affirmative votes for each confirmation.

Grants, donations and transfers: The council authorized acceptance and expenditure of multiple funding items: a MassWorks Infrastructure Program grant of $1,600,000 for the planning department; an $859,400 Massachusetts Vulnerability Preparedness grant to create stormwater management design and construction documents for DW Fields Park with a required match of $95,489 from the DW Field Trust; and a FY26 training grant award of $326,707.89 to the Brockton Police Department from the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security. The council also accepted a $3,000 donation from Eastern Bank to support a first responder community jamboree and a $500 donation from the Plymouth District Attorney’s Office to the Council on Aging. Committee reports on these items were favorable and the council adopted the measures, typically by roll call.

Budget actions and lease: The council approved a transfer of $246,175 from fire personal services to library goods and supplies and a $100,000 transfer from police personal services to traffic goods and supplies. The council also confirmed an order accepting a three‑year lease with Hawkeye Fence LLC for property at 91 Foster Street to be leased to Brockton Public Schools; the mayor was authorized to execute related documents.

Other business: Councilors addressed a loan order for $470,000 to buy equipment for DW Field Golf Course and corrected a prior procedural error by sending the item to a third reading as required for loan orders. The council adopted a resolution to invite Brockton Blazers and other youth sports organizations to discuss recent school fee increases and passed a resolve asking Mayor Robert Sullivan, CFO Dr. Troy Clarkson, DPW Commissioner Patrick Hill, and City Solicitor Megan Bridges to appear before the finance committee to report on discussions regarding a proposed purchase of the Dighton desalination plant.

The council recorded votes and closed the meeting; no late files were filed.
