Hiram City Council approves annexation and handles routine business; funding shifts and bid actions noted
Summary
Council approved an annexation, discussed handbook updates (effective Oct. 1, 2025), rejected bids for 126 Harris Drive, and debated reclassifying a paving project to SPLOST funding and a $90,937 funding change for Seaboard Township Phase Two.
At its September meeting, the Hiram City Council passed a motion to annex approximately 17.07 acres on the south side of Wendy Bagwell Parkway (Highway 278), parcel ID 177.40.20.0090 (Land Lot 663). The motion to annex was seconded and the presiding official stated, “Motion passes.”
The council also took procedural actions across several agenda items. A council member moved to approve updates to the employee handbook and stated an effective date of October 1, 2025. The presiding official called for a vote on the handbook updates, but the transcript excerpts provided do not include an explicit roll-call tally or a completed outcome in those segments.
On procurement, a motion was made to reject all bids opened on Aug. 8, 2025, for the property at 126 Harris Drive; a second was recorded and the council proceeded to the vote sequence that is not fully reported in the available segments.
On infrastructure funding, a staff member said a previously approved paving project in Seaward/Seaboard Township initially treated as a general-fund maintenance item qualifies as capital outlay and should be reclassified as a SPLOST expenditure. Relatedly, a motion was made to change funding for the Seaboard Township Phase Two curve-and-gutter improvement project from general fund to 'streets plus' (SPLOST) for $90,937.00; the motion was seconded.
The council announced a work session scheduled for Sept. 30, 2025, at 6 p.m. at the Municipal Annex and said it would go into an executive session and adjourn from that session.
Where the transcript excerpt did not include a recorded roll-call with tallies, this article reports motions and stated amounts or dates as they appear in the meeting record.
