West Memphis City Council Meeting 07/02/2026

The City of West Memphis held a City Council meeting on July 2, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related discussions took place. The council approved Ordinance 2738, establishing the WM Connect public transportation service and creating a transportation department. They also approved a proposal to purchase golf carts for the city golf course, with the carts costing approximately $50,000 less than a competitor's bid. The golf course operations, including cart rentals, are expected to be self-sustaining and funded separately from the general fund. Additionally, the council discussed budget allocations related to public works equipment, tire disposal policies, and code enforcement staffing, with plans to expand code enforcement officers pending budget approval. No direct contract awards beyond the golf cart proposal were detailed, but several budget and procurement-related motions were passed to support city infrastructure and services.
