The Marietta City Council held a work session on September 8, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including a revised supplemental power supply nomination and the potential naming of a memorial parkway.

The meeting commenced with a motion to approve the revised supplemental power supply nomination from MEAG, which was seconded and passed unanimously. The council agreed to recommend that the mayor sign the necessary documents on behalf of the board and council.

Next, the council considered a proposal to honor Reverend Nelson L. Price by adding signage along Roswell Street, recognizing his significant contributions to the city. The proposal aims to commemorate his influence without changing the street's name. The council discussed previous similar initiatives and confirmed that the signs would be created in-house. A motion to move this proposal forward for approval was made and seconded, with no objections raised. The council also confirmed that an unveiling ceremony with a ribbon-cutting would accompany the signage installation.

The meeting concluded with a brief mention of a revised Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for School Resource Officers (SRO), indicating positive developments in that area.

Overall, the session highlighted the council's commitment to honoring local figures and enhancing community resources, with plans for further discussions and approvals in upcoming meetings.
