The City of Starkville Board of Aldermen held a work session on April 17, 2026, primarily discussing procurement and contract matters related to ongoing development and infrastructure projects. Key procurement topics included a request to amend a legacy development agreement for the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Grand dealership project, extending the bond issuance timeline by one year and reducing the bond amount to not exceed $1 million. The board also reviewed engineering services contracts for landfill closure, change orders for a wastewater treatment plant project involving sludge handling and asphalt paving adjustments, and accepted low quotes for equipment repairs and purchases. Additionally, the board approved participation in a 21st-century grant internship program and addressed compliance with Fair Housing Act requirements tied to Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. Several items were approved by consent, and the board planned to address additional related procurement items in future meetings.
