City Council Discusses FY26 Budget Amendments for Capital Projects, Infrastructure, and Legal Services

The council discussed and potentially amended the fiscal year 2026 budget to appropriate capital project funds for the city's local match requirement related to the Quintard Avenue stacking lanes project. Invoices for median rework planning are beginning to come in, and discussions are ongoing about the long-term vision for landscaping continuity along Quintard Avenue, considering ALDOT's responsibilities and potential impacts on existing trees. There is also a discussion about amending the FY26 budget to appropriate funds for a debris vacuum truck for the stormwater division and for the replacement of a John Deere mower for mowing maintenance. Additionally, amendments were discussed for re-roofing Anderson City Hall, appropriating proceeds from a disco ball event for a project budget, recognizing grant funds for a community mosaic project, and appropriating funds for professional legal services related to club development property matters.
