City of Pittsburg Commission Meeting 4-14-2026

The City of Pittsburg Kansas held a City Commission meeting on April 14, 2026, where several procurement and development matters were addressed. The commission approved a zoning change for the Community Health Center of Southeast Kansas and authorized a reimbursement agreement with Gorilla Capital Group LLC for 10% of the costs related to renovating the former Harry's Cafe building at 412 North Broadway. This project involves significant interior and infrastructure improvements to accommodate a new restaurant tenant. Additionally, the commission approved the purchase of new digital portable radios for firefighters to upgrade from an analog to a digital communication system, enhancing interoperability with county EMS and other local fire departments. The radios were procured through a competitive quote process with Motorola dealers, selecting the lowest local bidder. The meeting also included a report on a recent business email compromise fraud incident affecting city payments, with most funds expected to be recovered due to swift city action. No other procurement-related votes or contract awards were noted during the meeting.
