HARRIMAN CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER MAJOR ANNEXATION, MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR NOTE, AND SURPLUS PROPERTY OVERHAUL
The Harriman City Council is set to meet tonight, November 3, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the 408 N. Roane St. Plaza for a packed legislative session. Local officials will tackle several high-impact items, ranging from a proposed property annexation to a substantial multi-million dollar financial resolution and potential changes to local building inspection services.
Key Agenda Highlights Include:
-
Proposed Annexation: The council will discuss and potentially approve a resolution calling for a public hearing to annex Tax Parcel 013.05 (commonly known as 1882 Griffith Drive) into the city limits via owner consent, alongside an approved plan of services.
-
Multi-Million Dollar Bond Anticipation Note: Lawmakers will review Resolution 1126-02, which authorizes the issuance of an interest-bearing general obligation bond anticipation note totaling up to $7,725,000, complete with terms, sale provisions, and a tax levy for principal and interest payments.
-
Surplus Property & Policy Update: Officials plan to declare a 2006 Honda truck as surplus property for sale via Gov.Deals, alongside a first reading of Ordinance 1126-01 to amend municipal code procedures for selling surplus city personal property.
-
Building Inspection Services Shift: The council will discuss terminating its agreement with Roane County for Building Permitting and Inspection Services—issuing the required 60-day notice—while keeping the current agreement for Planning Services intact.
-
Property Lien Release: Consideration will be given to releasing a property lien at 518 Sewanee Street under the 2004 HOME Investment Partnerships Program.
The meeting opens with standard roll call, prayer, the Pledge of Allegiance, the approval of previous minutes, salary and bill authorizations, and a designated time for citizen comments and departmental reports.
