Tupelo City Council // 8-4-2026

The Tupelo City Council held its regular meeting on August 4, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a budget amendment for FY 2026 that increased funding for the police department's prisoner care and the fire department's fuel, vehicle, and building maintenance costs. They also approved the surplus of fixed assets and accepted a cyber security grant. The council awarded a contract for bid number 2026-029 and approved a six-month hot mix supply bid (2026-032PW) despite a price increase. Additionally, they rejected a 12-month material supply bid (2026-033PW) due to an administrative issue involving an addendum not being received by all bidders. The council approved the addition of a seized vehicle to the North Mississippi narcotics unit asset list and appointed Sharon Nobles, CFO of North Mississippi Health Services, to the Tupelo Airport Authority Board. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to discuss the possible purchase of real property, with no further action anticipated afterward.
