Spring Hill board approves sewer-reserve amendment, net position policy and $25M reimbursement intent; defers delegation resolution
Summary
At its March 2 meeting the Spring Hill Board of Mayor and Aldermen unanimously approved Ordinance 26-01 (sewer capacity reserve amendment), Resolution 26-59 (Net Position Policy), a first reading of a budget amendment (Ordinance 26-02), and Resolution 26-60 declaring intent to reimburse up to $25,000,000 from future bond proceeds; Resolution 26-61 was deferred for further drafting.
Spring Hill City — The Board of Mayor and Aldermen on March 2 approved several financial and ordinance items unanimously and deferred a personnel-delegation resolution for further review.
In formal votes the board approved second and final reading of Ordinance 26-01, which amends Section 2(F) of Ordinance 25-29 governing the Sewer Capacity Reserve. Vice Mayor Trent Linville moved approval; the motion passed 8-0. The ordinance was presented as the item that clarifies reserve capacity management; the minutes do not list specific numeric changes to reserve calculations.
The Board adopted Resolution 26-59, updating the City’s Net Position Policy. Finance Director Rebecca Holden told the Board that no additional changes had been made since the prior work session and that the Budget and Finance Advisory Committee recommended approval; the resolution passed 8-0.
The body approved first reading of Ordinance 26-02, the third amendment to the fiscal year 2025–2026 budget. Holden reminded members the item was discussed at the previous work session and that BFAC recommended approval. First-reading approval was unanimous; final adoption will require subsequent readings as required by municipal procedure.
The board also approved Resolution 26-60, declaring the City’s intent to reimburse itself for qualifying municipal expenditures with the proceeds of bonds or other debt obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000. John Werner of Cumberland Securities, the City’s municipal advisor on the item, presented the purpose of the resolution. The motion passed 8-0.
A separate item, Resolution 26-61, which would delegate certain administrative and personnel authorities to the City Administrator, was discussed but deferred for two weeks after Alderman Vincent Fuqua presented concerns and a proposed revision. City Attorney Patrick Carter stated that the resolution included in the packet was legally sufficient but that additional specificity could merit further discussion. The Board voted to defer the item 8-0 to allow staff and members to refine the language.
The meeting also approved the consent agenda — including an equipment exchange with Brentwood Fire Department, a drainage-easement vacate affecting 2981 Stewart Campbell Pointe, and authorization to enter multiple master engineering service agreements — on a single unanimous vote.
Next steps: items requiring additional readings or follow-up (notably Ordinance 26-02 and the deferred Resolution 26-61) will return to the Board in subsequent meetings; the minutes do not list dates for those returns.
