2026.10.13 - Board of Mayor and Aldermen Meeting Live Stream

The City of Bartlett Board of Mayor and Aldermen met on October 13, 2026. The board approved its three-item consent agenda 6–0, which included a contract item for Union Depot Phase Four and a commercial site-plan item for Shine N Roll car wash; the transcript does not provide further contract terms or dollar amounts. The board also approved Resolution 33-26, 6–0, amending the FY2027 Grants Fund budget to accept $131,479.95 in combined TVA and Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development grants. The funds will cover due diligence, environmental studies, and an administrative grant fee for Bartlett Innovation Park. Staff reported the site’s studies were complete and described ongoing marketing and site-selector outreach, including work with Cushman & Wakefield; no business tenant or award was announced. Resolution 35-26, amending the Bartlett City Schools General Purpose School Fund and General Fund balance, also passed 6–0, though the transcript provides no additional financial detail.

An alderman raised a possible preliminary study by the city’s financial advisor, PFM, of alternatives to property-tax revenue. Staff noted that the scope and cost were unknown and that municipal bond obligations could constrain changes. The discussion ended without a motion or authorization, so no new consulting procurement or expenditure was approved. The board also approved a resolution urging state lawmakers to allow judges discretion to delay expungement in certain dismissed domestic-abuse cases; this was a legislative request, not a procurement action.
