The Springfield City Commission on Monday approved a series of contracts, amendments, and budget transfers affecting public works, housing services and municipal operations.

Key approvals included authorization for demolition of 325 West Columbia Street (contract not to exceed $98,900) and a contract with the Shelley Company for the 2026 North Murray Street paving CDBG project (not to exceed $497,035). The commission also approved an amendment to the billing-services agreement to update the contractor’s legal name to EMS Management and Consultants Inc.; an amendment to Windstream’s telephone services contract for the new fire station (an increase of $1,584, for a total three-year amount not to exceed $164,676.52); and an additional expenditure up to $15,000 for one VersaLift SST 40 bucket truck (for a total not to exceed $195,633).

On housing and community services, commissioners approved a subrecipient agreement with Miami Valley Fair Housing Center for CDBG-funded fair-housing services in an amount not to exceed $34,385 and authorized amendment No. 1 to the Project Woman subrecipient agreement to reallocate funding among line items addressing homelessness.

The commission confirmed change order No. 2 to the contract with A & B Asphalt Corporation for the South Belmont Avenue CDBG paving project, decreasing the contract by $114,318.36 to a final amount not to exceed $377,134.76. They also authorized a consulting-services agreement with MAPSIS Inc. for the Clark County Municipal Court clerk’s computer system (not to exceed $200,000) and approved other supplemental appropriations and transfers consistent with the 2026 budget review.

Clerks recorded roll-call votes for each item, with commissioners recorded as voting 'Yes' for the items called; the transcript records unanimous roll calls among commissioners present for these measures.

What’s next: staff will proceed with procurement, contract execution and budget bookkeeping as authorized; some items were declared emergency measures and will proceed according to statutory timelines.
