The Magee Board of Aldermen met in a special called meeting Tuesday, July 16, 2026, approving several special event requests, upholding a city zoning ordinance following a public hearing, and authorizing the purchase of a culvert for the Eastside Community.
The Board approved the following special event requests:
- Ruby Allen – Civic Center event on August 1 from 3:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
- Birthday Party – July 19 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. at the Sportsplex Pavilion. City officials noted that use of the pavilion is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Following the special event approvals, the Board conducted a public hearing regarding a request from Donna Magee to rent an accessory building located on her property at 1105 Fourth Street Southeast. The property is located in a residential district zoned for single-family dwellings.
After hearing the matter, aldermen voted 4-1 to uphold the city’s zoning ordinance, thereby denying the request to use the accessory building as a rental. Alderman Jullian Harper cast the lone dissenting vote.
In other business, the Board approved the purchase of a culvert for the Eastside Community. The contract was awarded to NAPA of Magee, the low bidder, for $7,085.89.
With no further business to come before the Board, the special called meeting was adjourned.
The regularly scheduled Board of Aldermen will be held July 21, 2026
