# Cookeville City Council Meeting October 1, 2026

The Cookeville City Council meeting, identified in the metadata as October 1, 2026, included procurement approvals on the consent agenda. The council approved awarding bids for materials for the Energy Department’s 69 kV project and for 200 100-amp cutouts, and approved purchasing four 2027 Ford F-150 4x4 SuperCab trucks for the Water Quality Control Department through Statewide Contract No. 209, Contract ID 88762. The consent agenda passed unanimously; no bid prices or vendor names were stated. The council also approved declaring a roughly 20,000-square-foot remainder of city-owned property on West Stevens Street surplus and authorizing its sale or disposition, restricted to residential or parking use for 20 years. The city said it had originally paid $90,000 for the larger parcel in 2022, which was acquired for the West Stevens Street improvement project.

Other business included approval of a rezoning on Messenger Road from RS 10 to General Commercial. A separate proposed rezoning near Dogwood Circle and Forest Road from RS 15 to RS 10 was presented, with residents raising drainage, flooding, and traffic-safety concerns; the transcript ends during public comment, so it does not establish the council’s decision on that item. The transcript also contains a conflicting spoken date, but the meeting title and metadata identify the meeting as October 1, 2026.
