The Los Alamos County Council held a regular session on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chambers at 1000 Central Avenue. The meeting included presentations on environmental cleanup and economic vitality, public hearings on bond issuance and charter amendments, and discussion of recycling expansion. The council approved consent agenda items, adopted four ordinances, and passed two resolutions, while a motion to expand recycling services failed.
