Midway council moves into closed session to discuss skating-rink contracting

Toward the end of the meeting council members raised a time-sensitive question about the skating-rink project surface and whether the city needs to issue an RFP to secure the necessary contractor. Council members said they were under a time constraint to complete the work and that only a handful of contractors could perform the surface installation on the needed schedule.

Mayor Simons asked for a closed session and the council voted in favor to go behind closed doors to discuss procurement and contract details. Council members agreed staff would provide updates and coordinate individually with council members while the administration pursues the next steps to meet the project timeline.
