Hendersonville Board of Mayor & Aldermen 10/13/2026

The Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting on October 13, 2026, included staff presentations on limb collection and cybersecurity, along with budget and capital-project updates. Staff proposed improving limb collection through larger 35-yard truck bins, replacement single-operator trucks, possible overtime, and on-call contracted limb services. The plan was estimated to add about $55,000 per year on average over five years, including $20,000 annually for overtime and $15,000 for contracted services; the Board discussed the proposal but took no vote on it. In the financial report, staff said paving funds were fully encumbered through a purchase order to Rogers Group, and public-safety funds were encumbered for a fire-engine purchase. Staff also reported that a new fire engine was being inspected, with service anticipated around Thanksgiving. The Board approved an ordinance amending the fiscal-year budget and, as part of an amended subdivision rezoning ordinance, made the developer responsible for trash and limb pickup in the proposed gated community rather than the City.

The cybersecurity presentation described existing protections, including multi-factor authentication, employee phishing training, cloud-hosted services on Amazon Web Services, and ransomware response procedures; police staff also cited CrowdStrike endpoint detection. No new cybersecurity purchases or awards were presented. The Board also approved a tiered municipal-penalties ordinance amendment and annexation and rezoning measures for a 32.8-acre development at 1765 Avent Lane. These approvals did not include a stated procurement award.
