# Pre-Council - October 12, 2026 at 5pm

The City of Homewood pre-council meeting on October 12, 2026, reviewed several items scheduled for the council meeting. The city planned to authorize an agreement for implementation of three modules covering its budget system, centralized procurement and contract management, and financial accounting. The stated total was $221,000, including implementation and the first year, and the expense was already budgeted. Council also planned to set a bid date for interchange mowing; the transcript does not clearly capture the date. Other business included a proposed lease for the Chamber of Commerce’s future third-floor space and an annual facilities-use agreement for H&H’s use of the Soho plaza.

Council carried over consideration of restrictions on EV charging station locations and discussed creating a consistent review process for annexation requests. Officials also said they would bring forward an ordinance to handle certain right-of-way encroachments through permitting and indemnification agreements, while major work would continue to come before council. The meeting recorded a unanimous vote to enter executive session and a majority-satisfactory result for the city manager’s evaluation. No procurement award or bid approval was recorded in the transcript.
