Hernando Board of Alderman Meeting | 05.19.2026

The City of Hernando Board of Aldermen held a meeting on May 19, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of change order number three for Renaissance Park phase two sports fields, adding $10,816.73 to adjust dugout cover sizes, and change order number two for the downtown sanitary sewer rehabilitation project, totaling $306,655.48, funded by ARPA and MCWI project funds. The board also approved resolutions related to a Community Development Block Grant application for ADA upgrades at the Gale Center, including compliance and funding match commitments. Additionally, maintenance bond releases and reductions were approved for local development projects. A significant policy discussion involved a conditional use permit request for a liquor store at 1500 Highway 51 South, which was ultimately denied by the board, upholding the planning commission's recommendation due to concerns about adverse effects on neighborhood character. The meeting also included zoning ordinance updates to define and regulate uses such as data centers, vape shops, and signage standards, potentially impacting future commercial development and procurement opportunities.
