City Council Approves FY27 Budget with 4-Penny Property Tax Increase After $1.3 Million in Cuts
The City Council discussed and approved the fiscal year 2027 budget, which includes a property tax rate of 1.7471 per $100 of assessed value, a 4-penny increase. This budget was achieved after cutting $1.3 million in expenditures, including unfunding two vacant positions and reducing professional development budgets. The budget balances at $33.4 million in revenue and $33.3 million in expenditures, resulting in a small operating surplus. The council also debated options for balancing the budget, including a 3-penny increase or drawing from reserves, ultimately choosing the 4-penny increase. Employees will not receive cost-of-living raises but will receive step increases.

Town to Exclusively Own Ball Fields and Tennis Courts After Real Estate Division Agreement
The council approved an agreement for the division of real estate located on Hal Hendard Road, which will result in the town exclusively owning the ball fields and tennis courts. This agreement clarifies property lines and ownership. The town will also give up its one-third ownership in a property behind GCTA to the county in exchange for the ball fields and tennis courts. The county will exclusively own the gun range. The tennis court repairs, previously approved on February 17th with a town contribution of $98,657, will proceed once this division of property agreement is finalized. The agreement involves minor language changes and clarifications of lot descriptions.
Head Start Program Continues at George Clint Facility; Security Upgrades Approved
The council approved the extension of an agreement with Upper East Tennessee Human Development Agency (UETHDA) for Head Start to utilize a portion of the George Clint facility for the 2026-2027 school year. Head Start will continue operating in a designated space. The George Clint steering committee is working on a long-term proposal for the facility's use and is aware of and reportedly has no negative feedback regarding Head Start's presence. The council also approved an addendum to this agreement, allowing Head Start to install security measures (cameras) at the main entrance and hallway, funded by Head Start, with the condition that the town can access footage if needed. The town owns the facility.
