Vivian aldermen adopt resolution calling special election to renew local special taxes
Summary
At a Feb. 23 special meeting, the Town of Vivian Board of Aldermen unanimously adopted Resolution No. 1 of 2026 to call a special election to authorize renewal of special taxes and to apply to the State Bond Commission; no public comments were offered.
The Town of Vivian Board of Aldermen adopted Resolution No. 1 of 2026 at a special meeting on Feb. 23, 2026, calling a special election to authorize the renewal of special taxes and directing application to the State Bond Commission. The meeting convened at 6:01 p.m. in the Vivian Town Hall meeting room and was called to order by Mayor Ronnie Festavan.
Alderman James Martin moved to adopt the resolution; Alderman Samuel Hodge seconded the motion. The minutes state the resolution was adopted with the vote "all present approved." The roll call earlier in the meeting recorded Aldermen James Martin, Samuel Hodge, Raymond Williams and Robert Green Jr. as present and Alderman Denise Alexander as absent. Town Clerk Kellie Morris verified a quorum. The record does not specify the precise ballot language, the duration of the tax renewal, or which funds the taxes would support; those details are to be determined and would be part of the subsequent election materials and any application to the State Bond Commission.
There were no public comments recorded at the meeting. After adopting the resolution, the board moved to adjourn; the meeting ended at 6:04 p.m.
The resolution instructs town staff to proceed with the steps required to schedule a special election and to make application to the State Bond Commission as provided in the resolution text. The town clerk's signed minutes of Feb. 24, 2026, reflect the actions taken at the meeting.
