Southaven aldermen approve fence contract, landscaping task order and routine dockets; enter executive session
Summary
The board awarded a $531,147.50 Snowden Grove fence contract, authorized a $102,456 landscaping task order using tree-bank funds, approved claims and personnel dockets and voted to enter executive session to discuss economic development, personnel and litigation.
At its meeting the Southaven Board of Aldermen approved a series of routine procurement and fiscal items, including a $531,147.50 award to Columbus Fence Company LLC for the Snowden Grove fence, a $102,456 task order under the city’s master contract with Quality Landscape for landscaping along the State Line/I-55 interchange and multiple fiscal dockets.
City staff reported the Snowden Grove project went to bid and recommended awarding the contract to the lowest and best bidder, Columbus Fence Company LLC, in the amount of $531,147.50. The board authorized the mayor to execute contract documents.
Staff also presented a task order under the Quality Landscape master contract to enhance landscaping on the highway ramps; the mayor and council approved the $102,456 order and said the work will be funded from the city’s tree bank account (monies collected from nonessential tree removals).
Finance and administrative actions approved by unanimous roll call included the donation docket, the personnel docket, a utilities billing leak-adjustment docket totaling $3,946.10 and a claims docket with demand checks totaling $2,538,972.20. The city attorney reported three vehicle-for-hire applications (Motton's Transportation LLC, Wills Transportation and one additional applicant) met statutory filing requirements and the board authorized those operators.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved terminating a prior parking lease with Regions Bank because the new court facility no longer requires leased spaces. After the regular agenda the board voted to enter an executive session to discuss economic development, planning and development personnel matters, interdepartmental personnel matters and pending city litigation.
Next steps: staff will return with contract documents for signature, schedule any required follow-up on procurement actions and proceed to finalize the PUD text for the rezoning item previously approved by the board.
