City of Rome, GA Commission Meeting: 11/09/2026

The City of Rome Commission meeting on November 9, 2026, included two resolutions and several land-use items. The Commission approved a resolution continuing the city’s participation in the Georgia Municipal Association’s Certified City of Ethics program by a 6–2 vote. It also approved a resolution acknowledging Rome’s participation in the Floyd County hazard mitigation plan, which is updated every five years and includes risks such as natural disasters, infrastructure vulnerabilities, and civil unrest. Planning items—including rezonings and special-use permits—were introduced on first reading and deferred to the next meeting; no contract awards, bids, or purchasing decisions were identified.

The Commission voted to table final approval of the Match Point Way development recommendation until its next meeting, pending completion of covenants for the development agreement; a commissioner recused, and another abstained. The city manager also reported that a scheduled Tyler Technologies Munis software update on November 13 could temporarily affect payment processing and other city services. Commissioners discussed unresolved underground utility concerns and Army Corps of Engineers approval related to the Second Avenue project, with an update from GDOT pending.
