October 13, 2026 - Board of Mayor and Aldermen Meeting

The City of Bartlett Board of Mayor and Aldermen met on October 13, 2026. The board considered Resolution 33-26, an amendment to the FY2027 grants fund budget to recognize $131,479.95 in TVA and Tennessee Economic and Community Development grant funding for Bartlett Innovation Park. The funds are intended for due-diligence services, environmental studies, and a grant administration fee. Staff reported that Phase I and II environmental assessments and other site studies were completed; the 340-acre property has about 217 developable acres and is being marketed for industrial development, including through Cushman & Wakefield. The transcript does not clearly capture the resolution’s vote outcome. The mayor also announced an emergency purchase order of $41,716.71, but its purpose was not audible in the transcript.

The board discussed whether the city’s existing PFM retainer could cover a preliminary report on the feasibility of replacing property-tax revenue; members expressed agreement to proceed if the work is covered by the retainer, while a full study would require further board authorization and funding. Resolution 34-26, urging the state legislature to allow judges to delay expunction in certain dismissed domestic-abuse cases, passed 6–0. Resolution 35-26 concerning Bartlett City Schools’ FY2027 fund balances was introduced, but its details and disposition are not clear in the transcript. No other specific contract award or procurement vote was clearly recorded.
