Malvern agenda lists final reading of council rules, water‑sewer bond resolution and splash‑pad cost estimates

The Malvern City Council agenda for its April 13, 2026 meeting listed a third and final reading of an ordinance amending Ordinance 2025‑11 on council reading requirements, a resolution authorizing water and sewer bonds for Malvern Water Works, and a resolution directing the Parks Committee to prepare cost estimates for a splash pad project.

The ordinance amending Ord. 2025‑11 was presented on the agenda as a "3rd & final" reading. The agenda does not include the ordinance text, the specific procedural change proposed to reading requirements, or any recorded motions or votes; those details were not present in the transcript provided.

Also listed under Old Business was a resolution authorizing water and sewer bonds for Malvern Water Works. The agenda identifies the subject but does not state the proposed bond amount, term, interest rate, or intended capital projects; those financial details are not specified on the agenda.

A second resolution under the same Old Business item directs the Parks Committee to prepare cost estimates for a proposed splash pad. The agenda lists the committee direction but does not include an estimated budget, schedule, or preferred site.

Why it matters: a final‑reading ordinance could change how council business is recorded and processed; bond authorization would affect the water utility's financing and potentially city debt levels; and splash‑pad cost estimates could lead to a parks capital project that would require funding decisions. The agenda alone does not record debate, public comment, or whether the council took any formal action on these items at the meeting.

Those items were listed for consideration on the April 13 agenda; the agenda did not include vote outcomes, dollar amounts, or staff reports in the transcript supplied.
