The Phenix City Council meeting on March 17, 2026, approved several procurement and capital-work resolutions. Council ratified a Musco Sports Lighting LLC change order for ball-field lighting at the Sports Complex, with an adjusted cost reported as approximately $653,180.50, and approved an $8,500 grading change order for Moon Lake Park, bringing that contract to approximately $2.53 million.
