# City Council Meeting: October 15, 2026

The October 15, 2026 Fayetteville City Council meeting approved the 2026 millage rate at 5.564 mills, a rollback from the prior rate, and a FY2027 budget amendment. The amendment places approximately $1.03 million in additional general-fund property-tax revenue and $10.782 million in capital-project revenue into contingency for future operating and infrastructure needs. Council also approved a shared auditing-services agreement with Fayette County and the school board, with each jurisdiction paying $30,067; the approval was amended to require the city to receive audit results and reports related to the city digest. The agreement is renewable annually, and the contracted firm named was Mendola Consulting Services.

Council approved two construction contract amendments with Barnsley Construction Group (the legal entity was identified as Barnsley Consulting LLC): a roughly $2.6 million guaranteed maximum price for renovation of the Public Works building, and a roughly $2.9 million early site-work and mobilization package for the Public Safety and Municipal Court project. The packages bring the stated total contract amount to about $5.8 million; the latter is an early-work package, with the full building construction price to return to council later. Both resolutions passed. Council also approved an ordinance authorizing future election-services agreements with the county by resolution rather than requiring a new ordinance each cycle. Agenda items 4 and 10 were tabled; no other procurement award was identified for those items in the transcript.
