The Winfield City Council on March 13 approved several routine and project-specific measures, including a resolution to begin a public sale process for 306 E Ash Street and an agreement allowing septic haulers to discharge at the city wastewater treatment plant.
The council voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution 20-2025, authorizing a bid process and setting a public hearing for the proposed sale of 306 E Ash Street (motion by Councilman David Pieart; second by Matt Hernandez). The same unanimous vote approved the second reading of Ordinance 361 to amend Chapter 55 (Animal Protection and Control). The council also approved the first reading of Ordinance 362 amending Chapter 56 (Dog License Required).
Council approved an agreement with P.M. Septic Pumping LLC permitting discharge of home septic waste at the city wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) at a cost of $100 per load (motion by Randy Redlinger; second by Brandy Smith; vote 5-0).

Council discussed a stormwater runoff request from Sunrise Terrace and directed staff to begin ditching work from the east drive parking lot around to West Central and Nebraska Avenue; staff member JR Herrick will contact the county and the adjacent landowner to seek approvals. The council took no action on a 4-H livestock housing request after the resident declined to proceed.
Clerk Angie Oepping announced a second April meeting to approve the fiscal-year-end 2026 budget (Tuesday, April 29 at 5:15 p.m.).
