The El Dorado City Commission approved a slate of actions on Feb. 3, including consent-agenda items, a state grant agreement for Central Avenue, and a water-line replacement contract.
On the consent agenda the commission approved city commission meeting minutes and work session minutes, appropriation ordinance No. 01-25 in the amount of $2,484,254.85, a cereal malt beverage license for sales at the McDonald’s Stadium venue (license expires 12/31/2025), an agreement with Axon for purchase of tasers for the police department, and authorization to replace a vintage lift station at a cost not to exceed $156,450 contingent on required bonds.
The commission authorized the city manager to sign Agreement No. 909-24 with the Kansas Department of Transportation for a K‑254 surface preservation project under the City Connecting Link Improvement Program (CCLIP). City staff said the Central Avenue project — Central from Jones to Haverhill — has an estimated total cost of $635,797; KDOT will fund up to $400,000 and the city’s share is estimated at $235,797 to be paid from the city’s street sales tax.

Staff said Apex was the single bidder; once issued a notice to proceed, the contractor has 30 calendar days to complete the work. The commission directed the city manager to execute required documents and bonds.
All motions reported in the meeting — including the consent agenda, the KDOT agreement authorization, the Cedar Ridge plat acceptance and RHID resolution, and the Apex Excavating contract — carried by voice vote; no recorded roll-call counts were entered in the meeting transcript.
