# Columbus Ga City Council Meeting 11-10-2026

The November 10, 2026 Columbus City Council meeting included procurement and capital-project updates. Council considered grouped purchases A–G, including extensions for emergency medical supplies and paper/plastics, a state cooperative purchase for on-call low-voltage wiring services, a Ram ProMaster 3500 cargo van, and a handheld chemical detection system for the sheriff’s office; the transcript does not preserve the vote result. Council also considered a FY2026 Adam Walsh Act implementation grant and a related waiver of city review and permit fees, but its vote result is not clear in the transcript. Staff reported that a previously approved change order brought the public safety building renovation to $8 million, and updated council on road and trail work, the Oxbow Creek clubhouse renovation, splash-pad construction, fire-station projects, and the new judicial center. A finance update reviewed year-over-year revenue and expenditure changes, including capital purchases and improvement spending.

Several zoning and ordinance items were heard but deferred to a later meeting, including residential rezoning requests and proposed accessory-dwelling-unit requirements. Police officials proposed changing promotional-test eligibility to expand the candidate pool, estimating that each assessment process costs the city at least $50,000; council discussed delaying the change for further review, with a vote scheduled for a subsequent meeting. Public comments also raised equity and maintenance concerns about city spending, citing an $8.4 million pickleball facility, and council members agreed to explore a citywide approach to business-property safety and maintenance requirements. No new contract award or bid approval is clearly recorded in the transcript.
