The Springdale City Council on June 10, 2025, approved a series of ordinances, resolutions and contracts including a demolition order for a hazardous house at 836 J Lane, reappointments to the advertising and promotion commission, a waiver of competitive bidding for Parks & Recreation flooring, a private club permit for a downtown business and multiple finance and street projects. Most measures passed unanimously; recorded votes were generally 8–0.

City Attorney Ernest Cates presented an ordinance ordering the “raising, demolition and removal” of a residential structure at 836 J Lane and asked the council to declare an emergency so work could proceed. The council approved the ordinance and the emergency clause; the transcript records the action as carrying 8–0.

A resolution reappointing Jason Janda and Justin Cole to the Advertising and Promotion Commission carried 8–0. Parks and Recreation reported a resolution waiving competitive bidding and authorizing purchase of new glued rubber flooring and court resurfacing at the Springdale Parks and Recreation facility; Chad Wolf said the work is budgeted as a capital item and the vendor will remove existing rubber and install new surfacing. The council approved that resolution 8–0.

The council, acting as a committee of the whole, approved an ordinance allowing a private club permit for Willow Dining Club Inc. at 111 South Main and adopting the emergency clause for that ordinance; the action carried 8–0. Mayor and council members asked staff to clarify why businesses apply for a private‑club permit rather than a standard liquor license; staff said they would research the distinction.

Finance committee items included:
- A resolution authorizing payment of an invoice for the senior center bond project (any invoice over $1 million requires Council approval). Staff said the project is under budget by about $1.6 million and ahead of schedule; the measure carried 8–0.
- A contract award for pavement condition inventory services to IMS in the amount of $99,995 to produce a pavement condition index used in the city’s five‑year overlay planning; the measure carried 8–0.
- Authorization of the City of Springdale 2025 Street Overlay project contract (total reported as $1,800,000 after adding additional streets) carried 8–0.
- A relocation agreement with Black Hills Energy for gas‑line relocation related to the Jean George Boulevard North extension project was approved; staff explained the estimate is based on the utility’s calculation and the utility will bill the city actual costs. The motion carried 8–0.

City Attorney Ernest Cates returned to finalize the earlier public hearing item and presented an ordinance vacating a portion of utilities associated with Cross Church; the public hearing had been closed earlier and the ordinance with emergency clause carried 8–0. The council also approved an ordinance authorizing filing a cleanup lien for overgrown brush and debris at 1603 Arapahoe Avenue; emergency clause adopted, vote 8–0.

Other business: Council members and the mayor thanked public works for storm cleanup after a hailstorm and recognized the Springdale Fire Department’s awards — Fire Department of the Year (for departments serving 20,000) and Chief of the Year — announced by the fire chief during council comments.
