Mayor and Council Meeting 6/15/2026

The City of Warner Robins held its Mayor and Council meeting on June 15, 2026, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. The council approved the fiscal year 2027 budget totaling approximately $191 million, including allocations for various city departments and initiatives. Several purchasing contracts were approved, including a $172,998 contract with Tricapes LLC for mowing public right-of-ways, a $229,593 contract with Russell Landscape LLC for park maintenance, and an $80,820 contract with Dixie Lawn and Landscaping for stormwater pond maintenance. The council expressed concerns about awarding contracts to out-of-area vendors despite local vendor preferences, emphasizing the need to support local businesses while balancing cost-effectiveness. Additionally, a motion was passed to consolidate funds earmarked for new positions into a single unallocated line item to allow for future position creation with proper justification and job descriptions. Other procurement-related approvals included invoice payments for fire department equipment and turf maintenance for the golf course. The meeting also featured employee promotions, board appointments, and recognition of community awards and events.
