City Council Meeting: November 10th, 2026

The Greenville City Council held a work session and regular meeting on November 12, 2026 (the meeting title lists November 10). In the work session, Purdue Brandon reported on delinquent tax and municipal-court fine collection under its contingent-fee arrangement; the firm said its tax-collection fee is 20%, set by statute, and reported collecting nearly $413,000 in base taxes for the 2024 tax year. In the regular meeting, the council approved a $6,572,780 contract with Arcadia Services LLC for the Major Road improvements project, including realignment near the airport. Arcadia was selected over the lowest bidder based on its shorter construction schedule and stronger qualifications; the project also has a $1.25 million Economic Development Administration grant. The council also approved an amendment with Cobb Finley, not to exceed $250,000, primarily for surveying related to water and wastewater facility projects, and accepted a TxDOT easement for improvements on FM 1570.

The council approved $50,000 in hotel occupancy tax funding for FY 2026–27; the transcript identifies $25,000 for the Cotton Museum, but other allocation details are garbled. A three-year EventHub event-management contract was listed, but the transcript does not preserve its terms or outcome. The council also considered a rewrite of the game rooms and gaming machines ordinance; a motion and second are audible, but the vote result is not clear. Public comments addressed the city’s funeral-escort policy, access to city information, and adolescent mental-health support. No procurement action is evident on those comments.
