Lebanon City Council Meeting - Sept. 28, 2026

The Lebanon City Council meeting of September 28, 2026 (the date stated during public comment; metadata is dated September 29 UTC) included several procurement and capital-project items. The council approved Resolution 2656 for True Construction to refinish the theater stage for $13,475, with $5,000 allocated from a maintenance project account. It also approved Resolution 2657 for a $12,750 sole-source purchase and replacement of two City Hall VAV boxes; the supplier name is unclear in the transcript. Resolution 2659 approved 10 Glock replica training pistols and two AR-15 conversion kits for police/fire force-on-force training; the purchase was reported as 6.6% over budget, but no total price is audible. Resolution 2658 approved surplusing evidence-room shelving and transferring it to the Hickory County Sheriff’s Office.

The council considered a 2027 budget amendment for a roughly $1.8 million Spring Hollow Golf Course clubhouse renovation, including $1.558 million for the renovation and $241,000 for contingency, with a proposed contract for True Construction. Staff proposed using available cash in the Capital Improvements Fund (reported at $6.6 million at fiscal year-end) and repayment over time at 3% simple interest once golf-course operations can cover expenses; the transcript does not capture a vote on this item. The council also approved utility-related code amendments that consolidate provisions with the adopted terms-of-service manual and address the Board of Public Works’ authority, described as including a $250,000 spending limit. Residents raised concerns about a possible city takeover of the YMCA and requested review of the Ice Cream Factory’s compliance with a previously approved $950,000 Chapter 100 bond structure; no related procurement or enforcement action was recorded. The council approved several subdivision plats, including one facilitating a Casey’s General Store, but these were land-use approvals rather than contract awards.
