# City of Rome, GA Commission Meeting: 10/26/2026

The City of Rome Commission meeting was held October 26, 2026. The commission considered an agreement with Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri), the producer of its geographic information system software. The agreement would allow Esri to use city address data to improve its mapping and geocoding services and would hold the city harmless for future claims. Staff recommended approval, and a motion and second were made; the transcript captures affirmative responses during the vote but is incomplete, so the final outcome is not fully clear. No contract price or other procurement amount was stated. In executive session, commissioners discussed two real-estate matters and took no votes on them.

Other discussion included a resident’s request for a ban on kratom products and commissioners’ support for pursuing restrictions, though no action or vote on a ban is recorded. The commission also announced upcoming meetings and a park ribbon cutting. No other contract awards, bids, or spending decisions were identified.
