Town Council Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Town of Smyrna Town Council meeting on November 10, 2026, approved a consent agenda covering several contracts and agreements: a FY2027 renewal with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office; mutual-aid agreement with La Vergne and Rutherford County; DMD Consultants for fire-hydrant painting and maintenance; S&W Contracting for a traffic signal at the eastbound I-24 off-ramp onto Sam Ridley; an Adam Contracting change order for Rock Springs Road bridge repairs; Miracle Recreation for Hilltop Rosenwald Park playground replacement; Kenneth Rich Construction and Thomas & Hutton for Cedarstone Park Phase 2A construction and inspection; Iris Construction for wastewater-treatment-plant stair replacement; Thomas & Hutton for sewer-flow monitoring; and CBRE and Boozer and Company for appraisal work tied to sewer projects. The council also approved the renewal of the workplace-experience survey after discussing access to underlying survey results and department action plans. No contract values were stated for these items.

The council held a public acceptance meeting and approved an $8 million State Revolving Fund loan for Mason Tucker and Hilltop drinking-water booster-station upgrades, at 3.29% interest over 20 years, with no customer-rate impact. It separately approved the loan’s authorizing resolution. A $2.5 million FY2027 midyear budget amendment passed; its largest component is a $1.5 million fire truck payment, alongside replacement vehicles and projects carried forward from FY2026. The council also approved acquiring two parcels totaling about 11 acres for the senior activity center and future Lee Victory Park expansion (no price stated), and approved easement actions for sewer projects. Other adopted measures changed site-plan submittal deadlines to comply with new state requirements, updated planned-development procedures and zoning rules for equipment and vehicle rentals, and approved a 55-and-over Bankside development amendment capped at 202 lots. The meeting also included recognition of departing council members Jerry Short and H. G. Cole.
