Neosho council approves hangar lease, annexation, tech contracts and equipment surplus
Summary
Council approved a 99‑year hangar lease with Air Methods LLC, annexation and rezoning for Built Right Properties LLC, LexisNexis crash‑report distribution, a five‑year PACE scheduling contract, and surplus of a fire‑department motor. All ordinances carried by roll call.
The Neosho City Council voted to approve multiple ordinances and administrative items during its regular meeting.
Among the measures approved was bill 2026‑25, authorizing the city to enter a 99‑year lease of roughly 37,026 square feet to Air Methods LLC to permit construction and operation of an aircraft hangar at the Neosho airport. Staff told council the lease is proposed at about $3,702 per year based on square footage and includes five‑year evaluation clauses. A council member moved to approve the staff recommendation and the motion passed on roll call.
The council also approved bill 2026‑27 to annex a tract at Highway 86 and J Drive (commonly referenced as 13225 J Drive) at the request of Built Right Properties LLC, and bill 2026‑28 to rezone that same parcel from R‑1 (residential) to C‑3 (commercial). Staff said the property adjoins existing C‑3 parcels and recommended approval; council adopted both measures by roll call.
The council declared surplus property under bill 2026‑29, authorizing the city manager to dispose of a 2021 30‑hp Suzuki long‑shaft outboard motor that the fire department reported is not suitable for its inflatable rescue boat; staff recommended trading it for a short‑shaft 30‑hp Suzuki to improve safety.
Bill 2026‑30 authorizing a law‑enforcement agreement with LexisNexis CopLogic (byCrash) also passed. Police leadership told the council the agreement designates LexisNexis as the city’s exclusive online distributor for crash reports and provides investigative tools (AutoCheck vehicle‑history reports) at no direct cost to the city; the city will receive an agency fee of $1.25 per report. Police Chief (speaker 13) said the service “allows members of the public, insurance carriers, and other authorized parties to obtain crash reports electronically” while maintaining department control over data.
Council approved bill 2026‑31, a five‑year scheduling/timekeeping services agreement with PACE Systems, not to exceed $66,325. Staff said the package would transition the city from paper timecards and manual entry to digital timekeeping for payroll and scheduling; the annual subscription alternative was cited at roughly $12,235 per year, but staff recommended prepaying to lock an annual rate.
Other recorded actions included approving a short extension for a T‑hangar lease (allowing a tenant extra time beyond a 90‑day delivery requirement), approval of board and commission appointments, and several routine items.
Votes: The recorded roll calls showed affirmative votes on the above measures; specific tallies were taken during each item as shown in the meeting minutes. The council moved on to other business and adjourned.
