Neosho City Council approves irrigation contracts, property transfers and multiple municipal measures
Summary
At a regular Neosho City Council meeting, members approved a series of ordinances, contracts and purchases — including irrigation labor and equipment for the municipal golf course, property transfer to Omega Twin River Holdings LLC, YMCA license renewals and several budget and grant actions — each by 5–0 votes.
Neosho City Council on a routine agenda approved a package of ordinances, contracts and purchases affecting parks, public safety, utilities and municipal property. Council votes on bids, grants and agreements were unanimous at 5 to 0.
The council approved two actions tied to a golf course irrigation overhaul: a labor contract (Marion Company LLC/CSG) for $92,295 and an equipment purchase for $145,101.85, for a project estimated at roughly $237,000 (the city budgeted $300,000). The council later approved a matching resolution authorizing the Marion Company LLC construction contract not to exceed $92,295.
Council approved Bill 2025-06 to transfer surplus city property to Omega Twin River Holdings LLC; staff said the parcel had been acquired for placement of an Air Force aircraft but the aircraft was placed at the airport instead.
The council renewed license agreements with Tri State Family YMCA: Bill 2025-07 for youth baseball and softball at Morris Park and Bill 2025-08 for youth soccer; staff said the YMCA has managed the city's youth sports programs for the past two years and recommended renewal.
Other approved items included: - Bill 2025-09: voluntary annexation of property at 509 Cemetery Road, petitioned by Bradley and Stacy Tracy; staff reported required public notices and a Planning & Zoning recommendation to approve. - Bill 2025-10: a change order for Jeff Asbell Excavating and Trucking reflecting a contract underrun of $25,326.46 on the Lower School Branch stormwater project (ARPA/CDBG funding); staff said savings would be redeployed to extend the project farther south. - Bill 2025-11: authorization to declare a parks department 'Coyote' tractor surplus and offer it for public bid. - Approval to apply for MoDOT hazardous moving and driving-while-intoxicated grants (grant request figures reported in the meeting record as: hazardous-moving grant items of $4,500 in salary, $5,576 in equipment and $1,200 in training, totaling $11,276; the transcript lists a DWI salary figure as '$49.50' that appears ambiguous in the record). - A purchase of two police sedans for a delivered total of $79,057 (reported as about $1,000 under the $80,000 budgeted amount). - Renewal of the T-37 trainer jet static display at the airport for a new five-year term. - Reappointment of Brett Smith to the Board of Adjustments; council noted two alternate seats remain open.
All votes recorded in the meeting minutes were unanimous (5–0) as announced by the clerk. Several items included short staff presentations or clarifications before the motions; no motions failed or were tabled during the session. The council closed the meeting after routine reports from staff and a motion to adjourn.
