Hendersonville General Committee 10/13/2026

The City of Hendersonville General Committee met on October 13, 2026. The committee approved Ordinance 2026-18 authorizing a quitclaim deed for two small parcels within the Creekwood Marina parking area. The city said it could not establish ownership or prior maintenance of the parcels; the deed would relinquish any possible city interest to help clear the marina’s sale. No purchase price or city expenditure was identified. The committee also approved Resolution 2026-34 authorizing an application to Public Entity Partners’ James L. Richardson Driver Matching Grant Program. The grant could reimburse approximately $1,000 in annual driver-record check costs and potentially eligible driver-training simulator expenses.

The committee approved Resolution 2026-35 adopting an updated IT acceptable-use policy and a new employee AI-use policy. The policies address modernized technology, employee accountability for AI-assisted work, and consistent handling of public records; officials noted they may need future revisions as technology changes. Resolution 2026-36, supporting Hendersonville’s participation in a foster-friendly community initiative, was also approved, with no budget implications identified. The committee received and filed clerical updates to sick-leave-bank and FMLA policies. No contract award or vendor selection was discussed.
