Tyrone agendas: millage hearings at 2.889, Tyrone Road rezoning, $59,715 police vehicle
Tyrone Town Council's Oct. 15 meeting carried a public hearing on the proposed 2026 millage rate, a rezoning request for 983 Tyrone Road and three equipment and engineering items, according to the meeting agenda. No minutes have been published for that meeting or for the Downtown Development Authority's Oct. 12 meeting, so the records supplied do not show what was voted on, approved or rejected. Everything below is what appeared on the agendas, not what was decided.
Millage rate hearings continue at 2.889
The Oct. 15 agenda listed a public hearing on a proposed 2026 millage rate that would remain at 2.889. Two further hearings are scheduled: a special called meeting on Oct. 19 for a second public hearing, and a special called meeting on Oct. 20 for a third public hearing, where the council is also scheduled to consider officially setting the 2026 rate at 2.889. The agendas do not state what the rate would cost a typical household or how it compares in dollars to the current levy.
Rezoning request for 983 Tyrone Road
The council agenda included a request to rezone 983 Tyrone Road from O-I to R-18. The agenda summary does not describe the parcel, its size, or what the change would permit, and no vote on the request appears in the materials provided.
Vehicle purchase and sewer engineering items
Three spending items were listed on the Oct. 15 agenda, each with a stated ceiling rather than a final price:
- Purchase of a 2026 Ford Police Interceptor, not to exceed $59,715.00.
- Surveying services for Downtown Sewer, award to Land Engineering, not to exceed $27,500.
- Preliminary engineering study for a Peachtree City sewer connection, not to exceed $11,000.00.
The Oct. 15 council meeting appeared twice in the schedule supplied — once as a "Revised" agenda and once as a standard agenda — with slightly different wording on the two sewer items. The revised version described the Peachtree City item as a "preliminary engineering study" and the other as "Surveying Services for Downtown Sewer award"; the standard version called the second item a "contract" and the Peachtree City item an "engineering study for potential sewer connection." Both versions list the same dollar ceilings. The records do not indicate which version governed the meeting.
DDA to weigh December Night Market proposal
The Downtown Development Authority met Oct. 12. Its agenda listed review of previous minutes and discussion of a proposed December 2026 Night Market at Shamrock Park. The agenda describes the event as under consideration; with no minutes published, the outcome is not established in the records provided.
Coming up
- **Oct. 19 — Town Council special called meeting (millage).** Second public hearing on the 2026 millage rate proposal to remain at 2.889. Scheduled for today.
- **Oct. 20 — Town Council special called meeting (millage).** Third public hearing on the 2026 rate, plus consideration of officially setting the rate at 2.889.
Both meetings are the scheduled public opportunities to comment on the millage rate before the council takes up setting it. Agendas and any subsequently posted minutes are the authoritative record.
