Callaway commission approves schedule, nuisance lien, two development orders and a FlexNet 'ice-bridge' change order
Summary
Commissioners adopted a 2026 meeting calendar, approved a nuisance-abatement lien, approved development orders for a water lab renovation and an urgent care and authorized a FlexNet 'ice bridge' change order required by the SBA tower vendor, including an estimated $16,500 cost.
The City of Callaway commission handled several routine but consequential items during the meeting:
Meetings schedule (Resolution 25-236): The commission adopted the calendar of regular meetings and holidays for 2026 and agreed to cancel second-week meetings in late November/December as customary practice.
Nuisance-abatement lien (Resolution 25-24): The commission approved placing a lien to recover mowing and abatement costs for a property at 306 South Gay Avenue; staff confirmed there is no occupant on the property and that the lien is intended to ensure future compliance.
Development orders: Commissioners approved a development-order application for renovations at a water testing facility at 5806 Highway 22 (staff emphasized upgrades to stormwater and access) and approved a development order for Main Street Urgent Care (532 North Tindel Parkway). Staff confirmed shared stormwater and parking arrangements and said the applications meet overlay and parking requirements.
FlexNet 'ice bridge' change order: Staff reported the SBA tower company requires an engineered overhead cable span (an "ice bridge") to connect the FlexNet base station to the tower inside the fenced site; staff described a roughly 20-foot, four-pole span and an approximate cost of $16,500. The commission approved the change order so the communications installation may proceed; staff said funding will be identified across enterprise budgets next fiscal year.
Why it matters: The actions clear several permitting and installation steps that affect city infrastructure, communications and property maintenance. Residents asking about paving and park cameras were told timing and sequencing of work would be published by staff.
Votes and next steps: All measures were approved by the commission during the meeting; the FlexNet charge will be funded from the next fiscal year's allocations and staff will coordinate installation with SBA and contractors.
