# 10 20 26 Council Meeting

The City of Statesboro Mayor and Council meeting was held October 20, 2026. Council considered several land-use and development applications, including zoning amendments, special-use permits, and sign variances; staff recommendations and approval conditions were discussed. Council also approved a memorandum of agreement with SNK Investments LLC concerning conditions for a property exchange, including access to the former Register property. The City Manager said a budget amendment would be brought to a future meeting to reflect budget reductions and council direction; the transcript is unclear on the exact treatment of roughly $295,000 and holiday bonuses.

Procurement actions included approval of a 2026 Ford F-150 crew cab from JC Lewis Ford for $54,840, funded by the solid-waste collection operation; stormwater vehicle purchases, including a JC Lewis Ford purchase for $66,711.40 and a 2026 Ford F-150 from Sters Ford with the amount garbled in the transcript; and a Caterpillar 420 backhoe loader for the Water and Sewer Department, with the amount also garbled (transcribed as “$149,82.36”). The stormwater and backhoe purchases were expressly put to motions and approved; the transcript indicates approval of the first truck purchase as well.
