At its May 11, 2026 meeting the Hastings City Council authorized municipal telecommunications and maintenance contracts.
The council authorized the City Clerk to execute a bilateral METRO Act permit for right-of-way telecommunications with Surf Air Wireless, LLC. That authorization gives staff the authority to execute the permit as presented.
The council also approved a set of small municipal contracts and professional services: a proposal from Hickey Electric, Inc. for electrical and control upgrades to the wastewater alum feed system in the amount of $7,215; a setup and implementation contract with AllMax Software for the Antero asset management database for $10,000; and a C&L Concrete Construction bid not to exceed $80,402.50 for unspecified concrete work. Each motion passed with recorded ayes from all members present; Councilmember Barlow was absent.
The minutes record discussion was held on scope and budget availability but do not list specific project timelines or contract numbers. The total of the recorded approvals in the minutes equals $97,617.50.
