Jasper City Council Work Session | June 25, 2026

The Jasper City Council Work Session held on June 25, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council reviewed midyear budget amendments showing increased revenues and expenditures, with no new positions added but a need to use fund balance. They discussed capital improvement projects, including a clean water (sanitary sewer) project with a contract modification increasing costs by $167,790 but remaining within budget. The council also approved a paramedic training program involving Faithful Guardian and Pickens County, to be placed on the consent agenda. An ordinance amendment to regulate tractor-trailer traffic on Code Road was proposed, including potential fines up to $1,000 to deter illegal truck routes, also slated for consent. Updates on sanitation services included the purchase of a new vehicle under $50,000 without requiring council approval. Additionally, the council approved a modified market pay scale to address staffing vacancies and retention, with minimal fiscal impact. Several community events were discussed and scheduled for consent approval. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for legal and real estate matters.
