Hiram City Council moves forward on planning and routine business; website questionnaire posted
Summary
Council members moved motions during the meeting to approve minutes, place the consent agenda, and set details for a March 2026 strategic work session; staff posted a website redevelopment questionnaire in Teams and announced upcoming Chamber events.
The Hiram City Council handled several routine items and moved to set details for a March 2026 strategic work session during its meeting. The presiding official opened the session, and a council member moved to approve minutes for the Feb. 3, 2020 regular session and the Feb. 24, 2026 work session; the presiding official stated the motion passes.
Why it matters: The council’s planning for a strategic work session identifies facilitators and a guest speaker and sets the framework for multi-day planning that could guide city priorities into 2026.
A committee member moved to set the March 2026 strategic work session “as follows,” proposing a first-day window of 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. and a Saturday schedule of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with Rockmart City Hall (136 North Piedmont Avenue, Rockmart) named as the location and facilitators Pete Prasinski and Niles Ford and guest speaker Chris Pike listed. The motion was seconded; the transcript records the motion and seconds but does not include a formal roll-call tally in the recorded segments.
On administrative matters, a committee member told colleagues that a Teams post about website redevelopment had been shared and that a questionnaire is available to collect ideas and images: “In Teams, I put a post out regarding the website redevelopment…there’s a questionnaire…you can put pictures on there,” the committee member said. The presiding official also noted a March 31 staff and council work session at 6 p.m. in the meeting materials.
Staff announced local business events: a ‘‘First Friday Vibes’’ networking event hosted by the Paulding County Chamber of Commerce at 8 a.m., and the chamber’s awards gala set for March 21. Department leads present offered no substantive updates during their check-ins.
Next steps: The agenda included a motion to move into executive session for personnel matters later in the meeting; the strategic work session details on timing, facilitators and the guest speaker remain on the record for scheduling and follow-up.
