City Council Meeting

The City Council meeting included the recognition of employees of the quarter and year from the Public Works department. The council approved the consent agenda and the docket, which involved discussions about repairs to the Chilhowie facility, software procurement for Planning and Zoning, and annual website costs. The council authorized a quitclaim deed for the Woods Homeowners Association regarding access road property, amended a contract with Forrest Health, approved a budget amendment to cover inmate housing and emergency storm response costs, and initiated the public hearing process for the 2027 fiscal year budget and tax levies. Additionally, out-of-state travel was approved for police training on event security, and an update was provided on the installation and upcoming testing of a baby box at the fire station.
