City of Griffin Board of Commissioners' Meeting October 13, 2026

The City of Griffin Board of Commissioners meeting on October 13, 2026 included an August financial report, presentations, public comments, and public hearings. The board discussed a comprehensive assessment of city facilities, covering systems such as roofs, HVAC, and electrical. Staff said the assessment would be allocated by square footage and department, with costs assigned across general and enterprise funds; it had not been competitively bid. A commissioner asked whether other firms had been considered, but the transcript does not identify a vendor, contract amount, or a clear final vote on the assessment. The proposed 2026 property-tax rollback millage rate of 5.609 was also presented, alongside FY2027 property-tax revenue budget figures of approximately $6.28 million.

Public hearings addressed rezoning requests for a 36-acre-plus property at 113 North 16th Street and a 2.25-acre property at 1016 Everen Road, along with a related special-use permit for a residential boarding facility serving women, children, and men. Planning staff recommended approval, with conditions including code compliance and installation of a sprinkler system for the facility; the transcript does not record final commission votes on these items. Public comments also urged preservation of historic sites, particularly Hec Chapel, and raised concerns about political-sign removals and the recent city-manager dismissal. No specific contract award or vendor selection was clearly identified.
