City Administrator Jimmy Liles said the contract will be executed under a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing agreement and that Hamby told staff it had the capital to complete the work within an estimated six to eight months. \"They have the capital in which to do this, and can actually complete this project in 6 to 8 months,\" Liles said, while cautioning that construction schedules can vary.

Liles and Finance staff outlined the funding mix budgeted for the project: $365,000 from the electric fund, $395,000 from the water fund, $349,000 from the wastewater fund, and the remainder from the general fund and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, according to the finance briefing during the item. The remodel will bring the utility billing department into City Hall, add office space, shift the main entrance to the building's center for added security, and expand the council chambers to provide more seating and improved audiovisual capacity.

Liles said staff worked with Hamby on phasing so the building can remain open during construction, though he warned there may be one or two meetings the council must move to alternate locations. He said the schools, fire district and parks facilities had offered space as options.

Council member Aaron Peterson moved to approve the contract authorization; Kelly Morris seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The contract is authorized; staff will proceed with construction planning and phasing while maintaining city services during the remodel.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nixa City Council Meeting (6/24/25)","oneSentenceSummary","Council authorized a not-to-exceed $2.2 million contract with Hamby Construction LLC to remodel City Hall; staff said remodel will consolidate utility billing, add offices, relocate main entrance, and expand council chamber seating and AV capacity.","taxTitle","Nixa, Christian County, Missouri","taxId",56910,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6186231,"Council authorizes solicitation for new Nixa police facility bid package",163,1935000,2098000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8&start=1935&end=2098","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8/thumbnail_1935000.jpg","/articles/6186231/Nixa/Christian-County/Missouri/Council-authorizes-solicitation-for-new-Nixa-police-facility-bid-package","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186231-02cc1aa0560b70f7a76821bc9904d67d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144635&Signature=QINtatRZN~~7GFCckn47KBPzbnF65w8O~N2k-Bdhbu5JmY3kZFBTSfsHK1Q7cn3MJpv8l9D~eyCxwvjLtGjuomMkPVMYTLONF1a2T9u4KJjzO1NrYsfvc0xCpWRGFa3OKcv9ze9M6qpUQNS94UWoM~TRk0~PMavtLh8J~mCuOyC9GzW0DFRz~H6TUAOR8rjpVgwlWuA6kmq39EjnTIAEZDb9TTtBYQPGXn9ASWOL-E5XPTFiPrZYtGws22E7BFMN1PC30GBCUloCUrqbSniqAzYUFrzyStERYRKE8IlYkOjynSwJXPPKTBVa-27H4jQoTHVwAcifUGuE1IKT-Q~lpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nixa City Council on June 24 approved resolution 2025-31, authorizing staff to solicit bids for the construction of a new police department building on city-owned property along North Leanne Drive.

Police Chief Joe Campbell presented the resolution and said the bid documents were prepared by the city owner's representative, Navigate Building Solutions, with architectural work from Insight Design and Chiodini Architects. He told the council a minor plumbing correction concerning a backflow preventer had been identified and would be incorporated into the bid set before solicitation. \"They assured us it was a very minor adjustment,\" Campbell said of the plumbing correction.

Campbell explained the next steps: advertise the 600-plus page bid set, accept bids, use a shortlist and interview process, and expect to return to council in late July to request approval to enter into a construction contract. City Attorney Mike Woodman (referred to in the meeting as council attorney) reviewed the project contract, Campbell said.

Council members asked whether council would need to reconvene to approve the award; staff explained that under the purchasing code council approves the solicitation and staff performs the award. Councilmember Darlene Graham moved to approve the resolution and Sean Lucas seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.

No construction contract was awarded at the meeting; the resolution authorizes solicitation only. Campbell and staff said award recommendations and a contract approval request are expected to be returned to council after the bid review and shortlist process.","Council approved a resolution allowing staff to advertise bid documents for a new police facility on city-owned land; staff said bids will be reviewed and shortlist interviews used before a contract return in late July.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6186236,"Nixa council authorizes design solicitation for proposed Rotary Park skate park",333,1218000,1551000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8&start=1218&end=1551","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8/thumbnail_1218000.jpg","/articles/6186236/Nixa/Christian-County/Missouri/Nixa-council-authorizes-design-solicitation-for-proposed-Rotary-Park-skate-park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186236-3f4934ab8355ae0dd1c19b1aee1acd1a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144635&Signature=QXMfvVqH2FMpAwxYDU9I1WQsFQqqV6F2jAmXtp-81ftVcXbBmR5ZIYzDWqvwUmB7gqh7mdHbIfl-v7-p2uvZM1JL74IxatImxeb-bnsaMaU0CYeyjnxnnDfzSgjPOs6ErQz3F225S5gZWG5tJeSuygeNV0NDKCg9n3gl~QjFqA77NAWI4uYkN0kB6HfJHDGWdvP0X4~Ol-xGEGlHh7Mx~0WRNBIId1MAZa6oUDbVhyn~7Ntgucj6aYKYUJ~uP-CLF6WtDlSMi10l3qsrt6QvvugRkh~OMWlGZHfyfcdnMmB0OdKdCuK1QqUPuMpom34fjwyhfznfTc114xoEbqTtPQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nixa City Council on June 24 approved resolution 2025-30 authorizing the city administrator to solicit qualifications for design of a skate park anticipated for Rotary Park.

Parks Director Matt Krauss presented the item and described a conceptual site next to the basketball court that currently holds a sand volleyball court and a small playground. \"The idea would be to remove the sand volleyball...and then remove that small playground, in order to put a 16,000 square foot skate park,\" Krauss said. He emphasized the request was for design work only — to produce plans and cost estimates for future budgeting and grant applications.

Krauss and other staff told the council the city has not budgeted construction for the project and that the design is intended to create a shovel-ready package to pursue external grants. \"When we go to apply for those grants, if we don't have something sitting on the table or on the shelf… the chance of us getting any of the grants are slim to none,\" Krauss said.

During the public hearing, resident Ron Sanders asked whether a skate park would serve a large enough population to justify public funds; Krauss responded that staff had used mobile-location data showing a notable share of Springfield skate-park users travel from Nixa, and that the skate park appears multiple times in Nixa's comprehensive plan as a wanted amenity. Krauss cautioned that, based on current budget expectations, he did not expect construction to be funded in the near term.

Council member Zarin Vess moved to approve the resolution; Aaron Peterson seconded. The motion carried by voice vote. The resolution authorizes the solicitation of qualifications for design services; council did not appropriate construction funds and staff said any eventual build would require separate budget action or grant awards.","Council approved a resolution to solicit qualifications for a potential 16,000-square-foot skate park design at Rotary Park; staff said the solicitation is to create a ready design for future grant opportunities, not to fund construction now.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6186241,"Nixa council vacates unused North Cynthia Drive right-of-way",82,967000,1049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8&start=967&end=1049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5077985-3d46cfd690b8282db3dc8c1972256aa8/thumbnail_967000.jpg","/articles/6186241/Nixa/Christian-County/Missouri/Nixa-council-vacates-unused-North-Cynthia-Drive-right-of-way","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6186241-02665666c47d5934c31afd91d2b5d4ca/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144635&Signature=LsNe1tuvyu-bw2lJGzG4fTFMBBTLwBHHpFwuFSHZ0L75SAmW1TV9dGqH52URsaoaUFeauf5EI01L1gO-NwQpEBmZasZrqPSXjTCSzbLNLaAZkzDU-h9vTLh9ekir1tg1tNfOrdr61gYSdojIzcYaiOr3EDKfLC0SGi~7vWuTOrZS-wI6FqLjfmnp~eaZcgsBJJ1NA4VmKHoIgHQW~XSmWdl8GqeZE2hMnnsViiPnkoSbeMSaM7r7eMDCG-nIQFkQDrST6bzLc7rrucspm8vwyofVxab~x74YFDXB5bE-kHbF5zXU9~RNJg2U9y6qe-BzVL~-ADBykPwGP2QG9FU2hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Nixa City Council on June 24 voted 5-0 to approve council bill 2025-21, an ordinance vacating certain right-of-way associated with North Cynthia Drive.

City Planning and Development Director Scott Gabbi told the council staff received a request to vacate North Cynthia Drive, a platted road from 1973 that has not been maintained as a public street. \"Staff received a request to vacate, North Cynthia Drive,\" Gabbi said, and added that following ordinance approval the city would record the ordinance and then record a plat distributing the former right-of-way among adjacent property owners.

The action is intended to give adjacent property owners additional room to build if they choose to expand. Gabbi said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval and staff also recommended approval because the road \"was never really maintained as a road and it's not upkept as a road currently either.\"

During the public hearing, resident Ron Sanders asked whether the city had built the road and whether vacating it would shift capital value; Gabbi replied the road was built as part of private development in the 1970s. Sanders raised a related concern about county road closures and private gate installations as context for his question, but council did not alter the ordinance in response.

Council member Sean Lucas moved approval; Kelly Morris seconded. A roll-call vote recorded unanimous support (yes votes recorded as Zarin Vess, Aaron Peterson, Darlene Graham, Sean Lucas and Kelly Morris). The ordinance will be recorded and a follow-up plat will distribute the former right-of-way to adjacent property owners, per the process Gabbi described.

The council did not identify funding or required off-site work associated with the vacation; no amendments were proposed. The matter moves forward as a recorded ordinance and subsequent platting process.","The Nixa City Council approved an ordinance to vacate an unmaintained right-of-way along North Cynthia Drive so adjacent property owners can absorb the land for potential expansion.","actionData","errors"]
