The Parsons City Council is holding a public hearing and regular board meeting Monday, Feb. 2, 2026 at 6:00 PM at the Parsons Municipal Building, 535 Tennessee Ave South, Parsons, Tenn. 38363. Public comment opens at 5:45 PM, and the city notes that "The Public is invited to attend this and all meetings of the Parsons City Board."

City officials emphasize accessibility and nondiscrimination. The notice on the city website states, "The City of Parsons does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, or national origin." It also confirms that "Additionally, the City of Parsons Municipal Center is handicap accessible." Residents who need accommodations are asked to follow the city's instructions: "Any person with a disability should contact Mayor, Tim David Boaz at (731) 847-6358 prior to the above-mentioned time."

The meeting notice appears with municipal updates that matter to local households. The city is now accepting utility payments by debit or credit card both in office and online, and the site directs users to "Click here for details" and to the "online utility payment portal." There is also a prompt to request state-provided smoke alarms: "Click here to request a free smoke alarm from the state." For visitors, the city page highlights local geography and access: "Parsons Municipal Building Located on the Banks of the Beautiful Tennessee River about half way between Memphis & Nashville. Just 15 minutes South of I-40 at exit 126 on Hwy 641 South."

The notice on the city website gives no subject for the public hearing and does not list speaker time limits; the posted language is limited to meeting logistics and accessibility. That means residents planning to speak should arrive before public comment opens at 5:45 PM to allow time for any sign-up procedures that may be in place. The posted meeting materials also include a link to the upcoming meeting agenda; attendees who want to review items in advance are advised to consult the city's agenda before the session.

To avoid confusion with other places named Parsons, this notice refers to Parsons, Tennessee; a separate Parsons municipality in West Virginia posts its own council agendas and should not be conflated with the Parsons Municipal Building on Tennessee Ave South.

What this means for readers is straightforward: this is an opportunity to raise local concerns directly with elected officials, to follow votes that affect city services and utilities, and to secure accommodations if needed by contacting Mayor Tim David Boaz at (731) 847-6358. Residents who want to review the agenda or confirm meeting procedures should check the city's posted meeting agenda before attending.
