Votes at a glance: Pulaski board approves ordinances, purchases and procurement actions
Summary
The Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved first readings for a food-truck ordinance, annexation and rezoning fee changes, a 2025/26 budget amendment, a $20,000 property purchase for parking near the dog park, and several procurement actions. A Dec. 9 public hearing was set for the food-truck ordinance.
Pulaski’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen on Nov. 25 approved a slate of routine and policy items, including the first reading of a food-truck ordinance, amendments to annexation and rezoning fees, a budget cleanup for 2025–26, a $20,000 purchase of a parcel on East Flower Street for additional parking near the dog park, and multiple procurement steps for municipal vehicles and grounds maintenance.
The board voted unanimously on several measures. The food-truck ordinance passed first reading after staff described a registration and safety-permitting scheme to ensure food trucks meet requirements for gas containers and cooking apparatus, and a public hearing was set for Dec. 9, 2025 at 12:05 p.m. The annexation/deannexation measure (first reading) incorporated state-required changes to process and a $250 recording fee intended to offset rising advertisement costs. A separate ordinance on rezoning/rezoning fees was also advanced on first reading; a Dec. 9, 2025 public hearing at 12:07 p.m. was scheduled.
On fiscal matters, the board approved a cleanup amendment to the 2025–26 budget intended to address the first three months of the fiscal year.
Procurement and property actions included authorization to advertise bids for grass cutting across multiple city areas (split by department), rejection and re-advertisement of prior police truck bids because of discrepancies, and the opening and referral of two bids for a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD for the water department (Wilson County Chevrolet: $44,007.80; Murray Chevrolet: $45,003.81). The board approved transferring bid review authority to the city manager and department head.
A motion to purchase a parcel on East Flower Street for $20,000 — contingent on removal of an on-site mobile home — passed by roll call and was described as intended for parking adjacent to the city’s dog park.
The beer board reconvened after the regular meeting and approved a premises-consumption beer permit for the Volunteer Lounge at 120 Bennett Drive; police and Mr. Hoover had reviewed and signed off on the application.
Recorded roll-call votes in the transcript list affirmative votes from Massey, Worsham (variant spellings appear), Bryant, Lambert and Brindley on the items called for roll-call; where individual yes/no tallies were recorded they were unanimous according to the audio transcript.
Next steps: the food-truck ordinance and fee amendments will be heard at public hearings on Dec. 9; bid solicitations will proceed according to the schedules approved by the board.
