# Mayor and Council Meeting 9/21/2026

The City of Warner Robins held its Mayor and Council meeting on September 21, 2026, which included a public hearing on the proposed 2026 millage rate. The council discussed the need to increase the millage rate to 10 mills, up from the 8.953 mills rolled back in 2024, to address rising costs in infrastructure, employee wages, and city services. The increase is expected to generate an additional $3.65 million in revenue. The council acknowledged the financial burden on residents but emphasized the necessity due to inflation, deferred maintenance, and limited alternative revenue sources. The meeting also included approval of multiple procurement items such as vehicle purchases for the fire and utility departments, repair of blowers at the Sandy Run Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant totaling approximately $189,397, and adoption of a purchasing policy amendment related to vendor debarment. Additionally, the council approved resolutions for grant applications, surplus property sales, and mutual aid agreements. The millage rate ordinance passed with a tie-breaking vote by the mayor. Public comments addressed concerns about tax increases, city spending, and traffic enforcement cameras. The council expressed commitment to fiscal responsibility and advocacy for additional revenue sources to reduce reliance on property taxes in the future.
