Jackson agenda lists cemetery bid, fall festival permit and Davenport finance contract for approval

The City of Jackson’s July 21, 2026 meeting agenda lists three New Business approval items: (1) approval of a special-events permit for the Butts County Chamber Fall Festival with authorization for Mayor Carlos Duffey to execute related documents; (2) approval of the staff recommendation for the City of Jackson cemetery bid and authorization for the mayor to execute related documents; and (3) approval of a contract with Davenport Public Finance and authorization for the mayor to execute related documents.

The agenda also lists a preceding discussion of cemetery landscaping and the cemetery bid as a Discussion item, and a separate Discussion item to consider combining August and September clean-up days. The supplied transcript is confined to the agenda listing; it does not include staff presentations, bid amounts, vendor names beyond Davenport Public Finance (organization name), permit conditions for the fall festival, or recorded council motions and votes.

Because the supplied segments constitute the meeting agenda rather than verbatim minutes, this record does not indicate whether council members debated the items, whether motions were made, or what the final votes were. For any official actions—contract execution, bid award, or permit issuance—consult the city clerk’s office or subsequent meeting minutes for the formal motions, vote tallies, and contract or permit conditions.
