SPRING HILL — The Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved routine purchases and contracts, named members to two advisory boards, honored a late local engineer and advanced a fiscal-year budget amendment during its Jan. 6 meeting.

The board approved a 13-item consent agenda that included renewals and sole-source purchases for public-works and utilities services, sidewalk program recommendations, and an annexation ratification. Vice Mayor Pomeroy moved approval of the consent agenda; Alderman Murray seconded. The consent motion passed 8–0–1, as announced by the mayor.

Why it matters: The consent items commit or authorize budgeted purchases and contract renewals that affect city operations (street sweeping, roofing, asphalt paving, wastewater services and meter purchases) and implement previously adopted planning decisions. The packet lists the detailed procurement and contract attachments.
