Votes at a glance: Southaven board approved routine contracts, bids and dockets
Summary
At its meeting the Southaven Board of Aldermen approved multiple resolutions and motions including minutes, amphitheater contract authorization, bids and dockets; roll calls recorded motions carrying on the consent and action items.
The Southaven Board of Aldermen approved a set of routine and action items by roll call during the meeting. The board moved through a consent and action docket that included contract authorizations, procurement steps, change orders, personnel actions and claims dockets. Key items recorded on the meeting record were:
- Approval of minutes for the July 1, 2025 meeting. - Resolution authorizing expenditures and mayoral authority to sign a contract for the BankPlus amphitheater under Mississippi Code and referenced local and private legislation (as set forth in the packet). - Authorization to implement the Code Blue youth leadership initiative (covered separately). - Authorization for the mayor to sign an agreement with Nesbitt Water Association, contingent on PSC approval (covered separately). - Authorization to seek bids for the court building roof replacement (estimated to be over $75,000) and to return bids to the board for contract award. - Approval of a deduct change order for the Snowden Grove electronic video board in the amount of $26,293.54 (deduct). - Authorization to file liens and convert assessments for properties cut under the maintenance code (covered separately). - Resolution to surplus IT property and assets described in the packet. - Resolution granting authority to clean private property (resulting in public comment noted). - Approval of three planning items (covered separately): two conditional-use permits and a Central Gardens PUD amendment. - Approval of the personnel docket. - Authorization for Andrew Mullin to sign a contract with RJ Young for printer maintenance and purchase for the clerk’s office. - Approval of the utilities billing leak adjustment docket. - Approval of two claims dockets: docket 1 in the amount of $4,713,956.81 (including demand checks) and docket 2 in the amount read on the record as “22,000, $297.19.” - Motion to enter executive session for litigation and personnel matters; the board entered without action recorded publicly.
Most items were moved and seconded by aldermen on the dais and passed by roll-call votes. Where the transcript records specific dollar amounts (the Snowden Grove change order and the ambulance purchase), those amounts are listed above. Several items were noted as contingent on outside approvals (for example, the Nesbitt Water agreement requires PSC approval).
Ending: The board completed action on consent and business items, scheduled follow-up where required and entered executive session on litigation and personnel matters.
