The Alcoa Board of Commissioners met June 26 to consider setting the city’s new tax rate and approving contracts for a facility condition study and project management services. The Board of Zoning Appeals met June 25 to hear a variance request for a property on Center Street. Minutes from both meetings have not yet been published, so final votes are not available.
Board of Commissioners (June 26)
The commission considered adopting a tax rate for the fiscal year that began July 1, 2026. The agenda also included an amendment to the current fiscal year’s budget. No specific tax rate or budget figures were listed in the agenda.
Two contracts were on the table:
- A contract with Performance Services, Inc. for a comprehensive facility condition assessment, not to exceed $110,000.
- An agreement with Lawler-Wood, LLC for project management services, not to exceed $30,000.
Also under consideration was a rezoning request for Parcel 016.07, located at Old Reservoir Road and Wildwood Road. The proposal would change the zoning from Mixed Use to Residence District B. The commission also planned to approve minutes from a prior meeting.
