[Sign up free](https://subscribe.citizenjournal.us/?ref=citizenjournal.us) The Salina City Commission is set to meet in closed session Monday to discuss the city's recent federal court defeat in its First Amendment lawsuit against the [historic Cozy Inn](https://www.citizenjournal.us/salina-commission-to-consider-1-17-million-police-tech-contract-discuss-cozy-inn-lawsuit/). The executive session follows an Oct. 30 ruling by the [10th U.S. Circuit](https://www.ca10.uscourts.gov/opinion/25-3225?ref=citizenjournal.us) Court of Appeals, which affirmed that Salina violated the 104-year-old burger joint's free speech rights by blocking a UFO-themed hamburger mural under local signage laws. Commissioners may take action following the legal consultation. In a separate study session Monday, the commission will weigh options for replacing the 67-year-old East Magnolia Road bridge over the Smoky Hill River. Engineering consultants will present three construction alternatives, alongside proposed turn lanes for the Markley Road intersection. The alternatives are building a pedestrian-only bridge, rebuilding on the existing alignment, or constructing a full offset bridge to the north to maintain traffic for the route's 6,486 daily vehicles. During the regular meeting, the commission is slated to consider awarding a nearly $998,000 contract to Florida-based Southern Coatings of Tarpon Springs for the North Ohio Overpass painting project, and authorizing an $85,607 bid for a new vertical reciprocating conveyor at the Salina Fieldhouse. The agenda also includes a $1.1 million agreement renewal with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas to administer the city's self-funded health plan, as well as the approval of 2027 service fees for Salina Business Improvement District No. 1 and updates to local building and plumbing codes. Separately, the Lower Smoky Hill Water Supply Access District will convene Monday to elect a replacement president. *This article was written using our proprietary AI system, Cronkite.
