Chattanooga Sports Authority Meeting - 09/10/2026

Agenda Items & Discussion

  • The Board approved the minutes from its June 11, 2026 meeting.
  • No members of the public came forward during the public comment period.
  • Finance staff presented the Sports Authority financial progress report for September 2026, highlighting a new format that shows two columns: project-to-date (since project inception) and fiscal-year-to-date (FY26, July 2025 through June 2026). Future reports will add an FY27 column alongside the inception-to-date figures.
  • Staff noted a footnote/asterisk on the sales tax figure indicating it reflects amounts received through May 2026, with additional funds expected on the next statement; a labeling typo on the statement was flagged and acknowledged as an error to be corrected.
  • A board member confirmed that the project-to-date figures run through June 30, 2026, and that July and August activity is not yet reflected; staff confirmed this and the member said they liked the new report format.
  • Note: the video recording of this meeting ended partway through due to a hardware/technical issue, so this summary reflects only the portion of the meeting that was captured.
