Mayor (unnamed) and staff opened the hearing and explained that, because of advertising issues, the commission will hold three additional public hearings and that comments made at any of those sessions will be part of the official record; the mayor turned the meeting to the city manager to introduce House Bill 581.

The Decatur City Commission held a public hearing on House Bill 581, the statewide "floating" homestead exemption, to gather resident input on whether the city should opt out. Residents described steep assessment increases and affordability concerns; commissioners asked questions about revenue, equity, and credit risks. No formal vote was taken; more hearings were scheduled.
