Summary
The Spring Hill City Council on April 9 approved multiple street construction and maintenance contracts, a gas-main supplemental agreement, a two‑year waste collection contract extension and mowing contracts, and authorized staff to pursue federal and state Safe Streets for All grant funding. Council also heard public comments on the comprehensive plan, crosswalk safety and data center concerns.
The Spring Hill City Council approved several infrastructure and service contracts and authorized staff to pursue federal and state transportation grant funding during its April 9 regular meeting at the Spring Hill Civic Center.
The council accepted the low bid for the 2026 CARS project on 191st Street and awarded a contract to Bettis Asphalt and Construction, Inc. for $390,677.75, and approved the UBAS street maintenance contract with McAnany Construction, Inc. for $975,000. The council later approved the 2026 Mill and Overlay project, including the Nichols and Main parking lot work, awarding a contract to All Pro Asphalt & Maintenance, LLC. not to exceed $360,000. Councilmember Phillip Thron moved each award; motions carried unanimously (4-0-0).
Council also approved nuisance‑abatement mowing contracts naming Empire Lawn Care as the primary contractor and Eric’s Lawn Service as the secondary contractor, and approved Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with Atmos Energy Corporation related to the 199th Street Improvements project, estimated at $108,464.99. The council approved a two‑year extension of the city’s contract with Waste Management (original contract dated 12/9/21) and updated Exhibit A for 2027; the Mayor was authorized to sign the extension.
The council approved a task order with HDR for grant assistance and authorized staff to submit an application to the U.S. Department of Transportation for the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Implementation grant and to apply to the Kansas Infrastructure Hub for grant assistance and local match support. Staff adjusted the task order amount to $13,808. The motion to approve the HDR task order and grant application authority carried 4-0-0.
During the public comment period, residents urged council attention to several topics: participation in the Comprehensive Plan process, a request to review crosswalk placement and speed reduction on 191st Street, and calls for a moratorium on data center development pending further study. Michael Clutts raised questions about language in the City Attorney’s contract regarding an advanced conflict waiver and called for procedural transparency; no council action was taken on that point during the meeting.
The meeting recessed at 9:20 p.m. for a scheduled executive session to discuss preliminary acquisition of real property under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(6). The open meeting reconvened at 9:35 p.m.; the mayor stated no votes occurred during the executive session. The council adjourned at 9:36 p.m.
The council took formal votes on the listed contracts and approvals, each recorded as unanimous among the four members present: Phillip Thron (Council President), Mike Grant, Ivan Delgado and James Savage. Absent was Councilmember Kristin Feeback. The council asked staff to return with additional information on some items (notably the fireworks discussion) at a future meeting.
