City of Rome, GA Commission Meeting: 04/13/2026

The City of Rome, GA Commission held a meeting on April 13, 2026, which included several proclamations recognizing community organizations and observances such as Keep Rome Floyd Beautiful's 50th anniversary, Garden Week, Child Abuse Prevention Month, National Crime Victims' Rights Week, and National Small Business Week. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the approval of three contracts related to solid waste management: acceptance of a bid from T&K Construction for a project, a task order with Atlanta Coast Consulting for construction administration and quality assurance not to exceed $415,000, and a task order for a five-year permit review valued at $68,500. Additionally, the commission considered a public hearing and ultimately denied a waiver request for coin-operated amusement machines at the Stop and Go convenience store on Calhoun Avenue due to zoning and community concerns. The meeting also addressed appointments to local boards and commissions and included discussions about community safety, housing authority issues, and procedural matters related to public comments. The procurement actions focused on solid waste infrastructure and related consulting services, with motions passed unanimously for contract awards and task orders.
