# 10-6-26 Board of Directors Meeting

The City of Hot Springs Board of Directors meeting on October 6, 2026, addressed several infrastructure and purchasing matters. The board unanimously approved Resolution R-26-167, as amended, authorizing Change Order No. 3 to airport Work Order 19A10993 for terminal exterior work involving windows, electrical conduit, and a concrete awning. The change order and related budget adjustment were stated as $37,020. The board also unanimously adopted Ordinance O-26-37, waiving competitive bidding to purchase replacement UV disinfection equipment for the city’s wastewater system from Trojan Technologies, preserving the system’s performance guarantee. The purchase was budgeted for 2026, but the amount in the transcript is garbled. Separately, the board adopted Ordinance O-26-35 to accept Modern Avenue and its street-lighting system, installed as part of the Hamilton Luxury Apartments development; no purchase price was stated.

The board unanimously approved Resolution R-26-180 supporting continuation of the existing 0.625% countywide sales and use tax for five years, through June 30, 2032, to fund maintenance and improvements to existing roads, bridges, sidewalks, drainage, and related transportation infrastructure. The measure will appear as Issue 6 on the November 3 election ballot; officials cited nearly 300 miles of road improvements completed or underway under the current funding program. A proposed lien-certification resolution was tabled to October 20 after staff reported a missing exhibit. The board also rejected, for lack of the required four votes, a proposed commercial rezoning on Melvin Avenue. No other contract awards or competitive solicitations were identified.
