Parsons Holds Public Hearing, City Council Meeting November 3

The Parsons City Council met Monday, November 3, 2025, with a public comment period beginning at 5:45 PM and the regular board meeting starting at 6:00 PM. The session took place at the Parsons Municipal Building, located at 535 Tennessee Avenue South in Parsons, Tennessee, and was open to the public as part of the citys routine effort to conduct municipal business in view of residents.

The public hearing component provided a structured opportunity for community members to raise concerns and offer input before the council moved into formal business. While specific agenda items were published on the city website, the meeting notice emphasized that related requests for proposals and other official documents are available online for residents who wish to review upcoming matters or prepare comments in advance.

The City of Parsons affirmed its nondiscrimination policy in the public notice, stating that it does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, or national origin. The city also said the Parsons Municipal Center is handicap accessible, and it provided a contact for accommodations. Residents with disabilities are asked to contact Mayor Tim David Boaz at (731) 847 6358 prior to the time of the meeting to arrange accessibility needs.

For local residents, regular council meetings and public hearings are where decisions affecting services, zoning, local procurement, and community projects are discussed and decided. The availability of agendas and request for proposal documents on the city website offers a way for citizens to track municipal priorities and potential contracting opportunities, and to prepare informed public comment or formal submissions.

The meeting notice serves as a reminder of the mechanisms available for civic participation at the municipal level. By holding a public comment period immediately before the board meeting, the city provides a direct channel for residents to speak to the council about issues that affect daily life in Decatur County. Ensuring access and nondiscrimination supports broader principles of transparent governance that are common in local governments worldwide.

Residents who could not attend are encouraged to consult the Parsons city website for links to meeting agendas and related documents, and to contact the mayor’s office for assistance with accessibility arrangements or questions about upcoming meetings.
