Hiram council proclaims April 'Safe Digging Month,' approves software travel and park use
Summary
Council proclaimed April 2026 as Safe Digging Month, approved $14,755 in travel for a BS&A implementation team funded by general funds, and authorized use of Ben Hill Strickland Memorial Park for a June 5 community event.
The Hiram City Council used routine agenda motions to approve several administrative items and issued a proclamation recognizing April 2026 as Safe Digging Month.
Mayor Frank Moran read a proclamation noting federal designation of 811 as the utility‑location contact number and declaring April 2026 as Safe Digging Month in Hiram. Mayor Moran stated, "Now, I therefore, Frank Moran, mayor of the city of Hiram, Georgia, do hereby proclaim the month of April 2026 as Safe Digging Month in the city of Hiram." (Frank Moran)
The council also considered and moved to approve travel amounts for the BS&A team that implemented the city's new cloud financial software in the amount of $14,755 to be funded by general funds. A separate motion authorized use of Ben Hill Strickland Memorial Park for a community event the weekend of June 5, 2026. Both items were moved, seconded and the chair called for votes; the transcript records the motions but does not list roll-call tallies.
The meeting record shows no public participation sign-ups for this session and no consent agenda items. The council then proceeded to personnel and other agenda items.
