Summary
At a May 12 special meeting the mayor read an ordinance to canvass the May 2, 2026 election returns (including a local sales-and-use-tax reauthorization for street maintenance) and the council approved the meeting agenda unanimously; no vote on the canvass ordinance was recorded.
At a special City of Murphy council meeting on May 12, the mayor read an ordinance placing on the agenda consideration of canvassing the returns and declaring results of the May 2, 2026 general election, including a proposition to reauthorize a local sales and use tax for street maintenance and repair. The council then approved the meeting agenda unanimously.
The mayor described the item as "the reauthorization of a local sales and use tax in the city of Murphy for the maintenance and repair of municipal streets." The clerk moved to approve the agenda, asking, "May I move that we approve the agenda item A as presented?" A second was recorded and the presiding official called the vote, stating the motion "passes unanimously." The transcript records no subsequent roll-call vote on the canvass ordinance itself during this meeting.
