Summary

The council adopted the Newnan Center's FY2026 budget and approved a rental rate increase — the first the presenter could recall in eight years — citing increased operating costs and the center's role as a community asset.

The Newnan City Council adopted the FY2026 budget for the Newnan Center and approved a rental rate increase at its Sept. 9 meeting.

The presenter, who said the commission approved the budget on Aug. 21, told the council a rental-rate increase had not been implemented in the presenter’s eight years and that rising costs prompted the proposal. The center’s leadership said they sought to keep the facility affordable while covering higher operating expenses and had researched comparable rates.

Council asked no substantive questions during the presentation and adopted the budget and rate changes by voice vote. The presenter said the center intends to remain a community asset and will continue offering rental options while adjusting rates to reflect cost increases.

No specific dollar amounts for the rate changes were recorded in the transcript; council adopted the budget as presented.
