What's on this agenda

Town Manager Jodi Miller presented the FY2027 Recommended Budget to the council and community, with more detailed discussion to follow at a May 15 budget work session. On new business, the council considered converting the Tryon Station affordable housing project -- in which the town holds a funding position -- to an income-averaging structure, letting it serve a broader range of household incomes. The consent agenda includes setting a May 19 public hearing on the Gregory Poole Equipment HQ2 annexation (about 141 acres at 5100 Raynor Road), an emergency repair authorization for a sewer lift pump serving the police and fire administration buildings, a $1,049,100 bid award for the Bryan Road Improvements Project, the FY2025-26 audit contract with Mauldin & Jenkins, and additional funding for Preserving Home, a nonprofit that rehabilitates homes for Garner residents.

The meeting opens with proclamations for National Public Works Week and National Police Week.
