The Hernando Board of Aldermen held a meeting on September 1, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a new contract with Next Bill Pay to enhance the city's utility billing and payment system, featuring improved online payment options, paperless billing, and customer notifications, with no upfront technology costs and a monthly fee of $20. The board also declared an old fuel tank surplus for sale as part of a plan to upgrade the city's fuel system with new tanks and software, which is expected to save costs on fuel delivery and improve tracking. Additionally, a change order for the Renaissance Park project was approved for $12,259.17 to install concrete reinforcement pads, funded from contingency funds. The board discussed and ultimately tabled the FY27 budget approval to allow further review and corrections, with plans for a special meeting to finalize it.
