The Marietta City Council held its agenda review session on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM in the Council Chamber. The meeting focused on finalizing the agenda for the regular meeting later that evening, receiving departmental updates, and recognizing employee achievements. The council approved the July 8 meeting minutes and set consent items for the regular meeting, including a motion to take a previously tabled civil service item off the table and add it to consent.
I'd like to call the city council agenda review session to order, please. First item of business is uh approval of the regular meeting minutes from July the 8th. Is there a motion? Motion to approve. Second. Motion carries. City council agenda's review. Council member Cheryl Richardson will lead us in the invocation. Also recognizing the mayor of High School Air Force Junior ROTC to present the colors and to take them out. The next item would be the mayoral back to school celebration, which you see all the reserved seats as they finish football practice. And Council Member Anderson Jason and Mr. Ghosting will introduce the band members that'll be here. Yes, sir. On the schedule appearance, we have four people signed up. And they'll each get five minutes each. We have special meeting, regular meeting. Any reason to take any of those four items off? Any objection? No objection. Yes. There is an objection. Can we take civil service off, please? Civil services nine on. Next item. Anything from change before we talk about it at seven o'clock in this meeting. Yes, sir. Um I've provided them to you via email, but um the applicant has provided an updated stipulation letter dated yesterday, um, which references um some more technical details related to their generator and to some sound creation. Uh they also this afternoon provided to me a sound study. Um, and we have that for you, and we can oh, it is already at your um seats, uh and so if there's any uh questions for that. Um happy to answer whatever questions council may have. Is this an updated sound study? I mean, they only did one right, so I gotta copy just to do that. Yes, that's correct. Okay, just re hash I think there's one other thing that but yeah, because this we I think we have to have a motion to take it off the table first. We don't usually do it, but I keep finding Robert through the orders where if it's on the table, there would be a motion to take it off the table. And it was tabled. Yes, yeah, that's easy enough. Yeah, it's easy enough. And if you have questions that the mayor hasn't not insisted on it in 16 years, so I was gonna say we've had other things that have been on table, we just took them up. Yeah, and that's what I've but I can't find in Robert's Robert Spruce is off. I'm just looking at Robert's through. I say we just do it, it's gonna be one quick motion take it off the table. That's the reason. There's no secret agenda to keep it off. No during discussion um that we had talked and basically said it was going to be back on in August, so that was the expectation, I believe. Yeah, yeah. We usually say table and sometimes we table and send it somewhere else. Yeah, but I think technically it has to be taken off the table. That's easy enough. Okay.
