The Southaven Board of Aldermen approved a claims docket totaling $5,846,740.95 and ratified several routine financial items, including an emergency repair at a city lift station.
During the meeting the board voted to ratify emergency utility repairs at Grove Meadows Lift Station after a failure that required parts and labor exceeding the city’s $5,000 threshold for emergency declaration. City staff stated the vendor was Corva Machinery Company and the amount was $6,195.80.
Council members also approved a utility billing leak adjustment docket, an IT equipment surplus resolution (noting one item under $1,000 eligible for sale under Miss. Code §17-25-25), and authorized the Parks Department to seek bids via a reverse auction process for replacement scoreboards at Snowden Grove baseball fields. The city attorney referenced Mississippi Code §17-25-25 regarding disposal of surplus property.
Alderman Payne moved approval of the claims docket; Alderman Gallagher seconded. The roll call carried the claims docket motion. No board member publicly opposed the items during the meeting.
The board later moved into executive session for separate personnel and land-related discussions with no public action taken on those topics at this meeting.
