# City Council - November 5, 2026

The Murfreesboro City Council meeting on November 5, 2026, included several infrastructure, grant, and purchasing actions. Council approved a $100,000 Tennessee State Museum grant for repairs to six buildings at Cannonsburgh Village and a $120,000 Tennessee Highway Safety Office grant for traffic-safety initiatives. It approved $97,500 for headworks screen repairs and considered purchasing two irrigation pivot systems; Hughes Farm Services submitted the sole bid, with the amount not clear in the transcript. The council also approved an amendment reducing the annual Comcast dark-fiber agreement from about $590,000 to $428,000, and approved low-voltage network and access-control improvements at fire stations and a logistics facility through Land Link Communications under an existing agreement, at a revised project cost of $297,489.

Airport and other capital work included approval of a state-funded air traffic control tower environmental study and initial design, with a Barge Design Solutions work authorization of $399,765; hangar construction-administration services for $392,678; and additional hangar site-preparation and administration work totaling $163,999. The council approved a school-system FY2027 budget amendment recognizing $1.4 million in revenue and transfers, with no effect on fund balance. It denied a sewer-allocation variance for a 14-unit rental proposal on Bradyville Pike, allowing the applicant to proceed with 11 units by right; a variance was also brought forward for a proposed MTSU-area hotel, with the transcript indicating a motion to approve but not clearly capturing the vote. Other actions included approval of the Distribution Drive property transfer to facilitate a road extension and approval of the Butler Drive sanitary sewer assessment ordinance on final reading.
