City of Jackson, TN October 29, 2026 City Council Work Session

The City of Jackson, Tennessee, held a City Council work session on October 29, 2026. The finance update focused on the FY2025 audit and a Tyler Munis software configuration error affecting the carryforward of balances across eight funds. Auditors accepted the related adjustments, totaling just over $33.9 million; officials emphasized that these were accounting corrections, not cash changes. The city has reviewed software contracts in effect since 2022 as part of the audit, and staff are working on improvements to cash and receivables reconciliations. The FY2026 audit is not expected to be filed by its December 31 deadline, with February or March anticipated. Tyler is also handling the current property-tax billing process; notices are expected to be mailed next week after testing, with 45 records still requiring review. The city’s printing vendor will mail the notices once billing is ready.

Council members discussed budget amendments, grant-related spending, and revenue trends, but took no procurement-related votes. A planned stormwater assessment session with Kimley-Horn will be rescheduled and expanded to three or four hours; no contract award or new purchasing action was reported. No RFPs, bids, or vendor selections were identified in the meeting.
