Streetman City Council 5/18/26

The Streetman City Council meeting held on May 18, 2026, primarily focused on a request by Mr. McGurkin to move an existing mobile home within city limits for renovation and resale. Mr. McGurkin, a licensed general contractor, emphasized his commitment to improving the city's housing stock and increasing the tax base. However, council members discussed the constraints of the existing city ordinance, which prohibits moving mobile homes without losing grandfathered status unless the ordinance is amended. The council agreed to table the request pending submission of a formal petition and documentation to solidify the plan. Additionally, the council approved a motion to allow cash payments to jury members to streamline disbursements and reduce administrative costs. The meeting also included the swearing-in of city officials. No contract awards or capital projects were discussed.
