City of Franklin, BOMA Work Session 11-10-2026

The City of Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen held a work session on November 10, 2026. The clearest procurement item was Change Order No. 1 to City Contract 20240246 for East McEwen Drive Phase 4, listed at $285,743.66; the transcript does not capture a vote or disposition. The board also discussed alternatives for widening Franklin Road from Mack Hatcher Parkway to Mallory Station. A three-lane enhanced option was estimated at about $22 million, with construction projected to begin around 2033; members debated whether a larger five-lane project would be more appropriate and raised right-of-way acquisition, utility relocation, and funding concerns. No project scope or funding decision is recorded.

Other discussion included proposed zoning and development-plan revisions for Huffines Ridge and Iron Horse, with residents and board members raising concerns about parking, access, and impacts on current Iron Horse residents. The board also discussed a preservation plan and received updates on a study of fire-department schedules, compensation, recruitment, and retention; potential costs and funding mechanisms are still being evaluated. No additional contract awards or purchasing decisions are clearly recorded in the transcript.
