Waxhaw's Board of Commissioners Meeting - March 10th, 2026 6:30PM

The Town of Waxhaw Board of Commissioners held a meeting on March 10, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. Notably, the board approved a motion to award a professional engineering services contract (HL0158 Helms Extension) to Kimley Horn for $742,000, authorizing the town manager to execute the contract. Additionally, the board considered a resolution to engage grant writing services from Whit O'Brien through the North Carolina League of Municipalities for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) implementation grant application, with no additional charge to the town. The grant application aims to secure federal funding for transportation infrastructure projects, with an 80% federal match and 20% local match over five years. The board also discussed capital improvement needs, transportation and connectivity constraints, and organizational capacity as part of a recent retreat report, emphasizing the importance of addressing these challenges in future planning and budgeting. Other agenda items included public art installations funded through the parks and recreation budget and a forthcoming work session to discuss water fluoridation policy in coordination with regional municipalities.
