Monday, September 21, 2026 Legislative Meeting

The City of Airway Heights’ legislative meeting on September 21, 2026, included several public-works procurement actions. Council unanimously approved a $352,500 design contract with Welch Comer for the Craig Road intertie upgrade, following an RFQ process in which five firms responded. It also approved a $448,382.20 contract for phased design of a new public works building; the transcript does not identify the design vendor. Construction-funding identification is required before the building design proceeds to final, bid-ready documents. Council also unanimously approved a Century West contract supplement for right-of-way acquisition services for the US 2 Phase One multimodal project, covering six parcels at the Lawson and Lundstrom roundabout intersections. The supplement amount is stated unclearly in the transcript as “108 158,350 dollars”; the clearly discernible amount appears to be $158,350.

Officials described the US 2 project’s first phase, from Lindstrom to Lawson, as a four-block downtown improvement estimated at more than $21 million. The city has received about $5.88 million in federal grants and $2.85 million in state grants, and is pursuing additional funding, including an opportunity that could fully fund Phase One; officials emphasized that this opportunity is not yet secured. The council also heard that a $26.5 million, 154-room Tru by Hilton hotel has applied for building permits, and received a first reading of an ordinance adopting a draft 2026 comprehensive plan. No vote on the plan’s final adoption occurred at this meeting.
