The Town of Madison Board of Aldermen meeting was held November 12, 2026. The board approved an amendment to the commercial pedal vehicle ordinance setting insurance requirements at $1 million per occurrence and $2 million general aggregate, then approved an application for the vehicle subject to those changes. Discussion also covered keeping driver certifications on file. The board approved a resolution authorizing electronic payments, including credit-card, purchasing-card, and ACH payments; staff said the resolution establishes the pre-audit process and does not change spending limits or other internal controls. Employee Christmas bonuses were approved using the $2,830 budgeted amount, with approximately $150 allocated to each of 19 part-time employees. Budget Amendment No. 4 was also approved, including state-provided law-enforcement bonus funds and recreation-related funding; specific amounts were not stated in the transcript.

The town announced it would begin using the ROCO Alert service, powered by Regroup and piggybacked through Rockingham County, for phone, email, and text alerts. The service provides unlimited alerts and costs less than $350 per year, an amount described as budgeted; no separate approval vote was recorded. The board also approved a proclamation recognizing Triad Asian Food and Culture Festival Day and adjusted ABC board terms. No competitive solicitation, major contract award, or other purchasing decision was identified.
