Sedalia City Council approves landfill contract, annexation, airport lease, equipment purchases and two change orders
Summary
On July 20 the Sedalia City Council passed multiple ordinances and resolutions: a one-year landfill agreement with GFL Environmental, an annexation of about 3 acres, a ground lease with CSC Aviation LLC at the Sedalia Regional Airport, sole-source UV-system parts purchase, two construction change orders (net +$25,552.40 and +$44,070.87) and two police grant resolutions.
The Sedalia City Council on July 20 approved a slate of ordinances and resolutions covering waste disposal, annexation, an airport ground lease, utility components and construction change orders.
Public works staff told the council the city issued a competitive solicitation for one-year landfill disposal services; GFL Environmental was the sole bidder meeting the one-year requirement and staff recommended approval of a one-year agreement at $31 per ton, inclusive of fees. The council read Bill 2026-62 and voted to adopt the ordinance on final passage.
Council also adopted Bill 2026-82 to annex roughly three acres owned by E.W. Thompson at the end of Westwood Avenue into the city; staff said no written objections were filed after a public hearing on July 6.
The council approved a ground lease with CSC Aviation LLC (Bill 2026-83) that staff said will allow CSC to build a hangar at Sedalia Regional Airport; the lease was presented as substantially in the form reviewed by counsel.
The council passed Bill 2026-84, authorizing the purchase of proprietary replacement components for Trojan UV disinfection systems at the Central and Southeast wastewater treatment plants for $96,878.68 as a sole-source purchase included in the FY27 budget.
Council approved change order #1 for the Prairie Hollow Water & Sewer Main Extension (Bill 2026-85), which reconciles final quantities, removes eliminated work, compensates for additional rock excavation, corrects pricing, and extends the contract completion date; staff said the change order increases the contract net $25,552.40 and that final installed cost remains below the original $1,905,000 construction budget. The council recorded 7 yes votes and one abstention (an employment conflict) on final passage.
Council also approved change order #2 for the Liberty Park Boulevard stormwater project (Bill 2026-86), increasing the contract by $44,070.87 to account for additional pipe and sewer-service relocations; staff said the project remains within its original budget.
On public safety items, police representatives briefly described two grant applications: a Missouri Blue Shield grant that could fully cover a GrayKey-style mobile device-extraction tool (presented as approximately $28,310) and a State Homeland Security Program request of $34,052 to replace in-car camera systems; council adopted resolutions authorizing the department to act as agent for the grant applications (Res. 20171 and Res. 2172).
No motions to veto or remand items were recorded; each ordinance and resolution was adopted on final passage during the meeting.
