Edwardsville City Council Meeting (6-16-26)

Storage Container Purchase for Goshen Commons Fails Sole Source Vote
A resolution was approved to award a contract for a storage container for Goshen Commons. The container is a 40-foot TARDIS structure designed to fit under existing screens, providing storage for items like chairs, umbrellas, and materials that shouldn't be stored together (e.g., paper and chemicals). It will have lap siding to resemble a building and landscaping, making it less of an eyesore. The cost is $44,300, which is considered cheaper than building a masonry structure. However, the sole source designation for this item did not pass due to requiring a five-vote majority, which it did not receive.
Sole Source Contract for All-Abilities Playground Concrete Fails Due to Vote
The council approved a sole source resolution to award a contract to Gillihan Concrete for the purchase and installation of concrete for the all-abilities playground. The original bid was for six-inch curbs, but it was recommended to increase to 12 inches for better containment. The adjusted cost is approximately $4,000 more than the initially approved $33,000, bringing the total to $37,970. This resolution required a five-vote approval but ultimately failed due to one 'No' vote.
Contract Approved for ABP Volleyball Tournament Midwest Open
The council approved a contract with Ballis Enterprises LLC not to exceed $20,000 for the ABP Volleyball Tournament Midwest Open. Ballis Enterprises will handle registration, marketing, and prize distribution for the tournament, which attracts participants from various locations and is a high-stakes event. The tournament is scheduled for the last weekend in September.
Special Use Permit Approved for Rooftop Solar System
A resolution approving a special use permit for a rooftop solar energy system at 2527 Gateway Commerce Center Drive East was approved. This project is considered a good use of space within the enterprise zone, utilizing building rooftops for solar energy generation. The council approved the resolution.
