# Meeting of the Southaven, Mississippi Mayor and Board of Aldermen - October 6, 2026

The October 6, 2026 Southaven Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting approved several contracts and purchasing actions. The board approved a lease and letter agreement for the BankPlus Amphitheater; a one-year Schindler Elevator Corporation maintenance amendment with a 4% increase; and a Pitney Bowes postage contract under a state contract, after the city clerk obtained quotes and identified it as the lowest and best option. It also approved a one-year renewal change order for Riverside Traffic Systems’ street striping and marking term contract, with a 3.46% CPI increase. The board authorized Public Works to seek bids for 2027 chemicals and a compact truck loader, with bids to return for board approval, and approved a final change order decreasing the Getwell Road widening project contract by an amount garbled in the transcript. The city attorney also presented an Airways Road resurfacing award to Lehman-Robertson as the lowest and best bidder; the stated bid amount is unclear in the transcript, and the motion was seconded.

Other approved items included a voluntary, reimbursable assistance agreement with the U.S. Capitol Police; a resolution concerning liens and assessments for property-cutting work; and a donation docket totaling $1,239.14 for the animal shelter. The claims docket totaling $9,761,446.17 was approved, though the transcript does not identify its individual procurement components. The mayor reported that city-owned striping equipment had arrived and staff were being trained to use it. A possible future ordinance addressing certain retail stores was under study, but no ordinance was presented or adopted. The board also approved design review for a three-building office complex and a minor subdivision; no procurement action was identified for those items.
