Phenix City Council Meeting | February 18, 2026

The Phenix City Council meeting on February 18, 2026, included several procurement and infrastructure actions. The council approved a $272,762 change order for Moon Lake park improvements to remove unsuitable soil and prepare retaining-wall foundations, and a $3,755 change order for water-service work at the Miracle Field at Lakewood Park. It authorized KPJ Lawn Services LLC to maintain the city’s 10 cemeteries for $9,940 per month ($119,280 annually), and approved utility purchases including Holland Creek lift-station valves from EcoTech for up to $55,737.69, five flow meters for $8,736.60, and updated Pace Labs water-testing prices estimated at $36,000 annually (about a 4% increase). The council also approved a $2,250 water-treatment permit application fee and authorized Alabama Power to install streetlights at two locations; no lighting costs were stated.

The council authorized applications for transportation and bridge funding, including a resurfacing project with a stated $335,000 state contribution and $259,342 city match, and a $322,000 planning study for three structurally deficient bridges, with a $64,400 city match. It rejected all bids for solicitation B26-01 (asphalt paving, roadway drainage, and city facility improvements) because prices were higher than anticipated; staff said the package would be rebid with broader outreach. The council also authorized legal proceedings against Spire Alabama and Miller Pipeline to recover roughly $49,335 in stormwater-pipe repair costs attributed to pipeline damage. The listed resolutions and actions were approved by roll-call votes.
