NASHVILLE, N.C. — During its Oct. 22 meeting the Town of Nashville council approved three budget amendments, authorized two change orders on the JW Glover Park project and declared several police items surplus for online sale.
Budget amendments approved: - Budget amendment No. 6: Fire department — recognizes a $300 donation from the American Legion to purchase flags; increases FY 2026 revenues and expenditures by $300. - Budget amendment No. 7: Recognizes $2,399 received from Tricia Richardson as the town’s share of a fence installed at 400 South Body Street; increases FY 2026 revenues and expenditures by $2,399. - Budget amendment No. 8: Recognizes $7,539 in insurance proceeds received to cover repair of a damaged overhead door at Fire Station 1; increases FY 2026 revenues and expenditures by $7,539.
All three budget amendments were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Parks project change orders: Chris Hagar, standing in for the parks and recreation director, presented two change orders for the JW Glover Park project (pickleball courts and splash-pad shelter). Change order No. 1 is an increase of $27,461.86 and covers an expanded footprint for the courts, a vinyl-siding upgrade on the shelter, and drainage work for the splash pad. Change order No. 2 is a $10,000 credit related to installing a sewer pump rather than boring a gravity line under Highway 58; the net effect of the two change orders is an increase of $17,461.86. Staff said $554,931 remained budgeted for the project and that, after the change orders and other costs, an additional $205,991.83 would be needed to complete all elements discussed. The council approved both change orders by voice vote.
Police surplus: Staff asked the council to declare three items surplus — a truck bed organizer, a silver camper shell, and a 2017 Polaris Ranger side-by-side — and authorize their sale by online auction. The council approved the surplus declaration and sale by voice vote.
Additional routine business: The council approved minutes from Oct. 7 and Oct. 8, heard public comment, and received the earlier historic-preservation presentation. Mayor and council members encouraged residents to vote in early voting and announced a Dec. 5 blood drive to be held in council chambers from 1 to 5 p.m.
All listed actions were approved by voice vote; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.
