The Chattanooga Department of Public Works announces enough qualified CDL drivers are in the hiring pipeline to resume curbside recycling service, with the first pickup date scheduled for Nov. 1, 2021.

Tonight the Chattanooga City Council unanimously voted to approve Mayor Tim Kelly’s first proposed capital and operating budgets for Fiscal Year 2021-2022 — which rest on data-driven investments to market-align city pay with peer cities, repair aging infrastructure, and close gaps in access to opportunity and the amenities of alivable neighborhood.

“I’m grateful to the Chattanooga City Council for partnering with us to lay the groundwork for tackling the structural challenges our community faces while we also get the basics right -- all while ensuring our first responders and essential workers are paid fairly,” said Mayor Tim Kelly. “With this budget, we're able to capitalize on the growth of Chattanooga's economy to ensure every resident has access to quality and responsive city services to keep pace with that growth."

Mayor Tim Kelly announced that, as of Wednesday evening, he is self-isolating at his home after testing positive for COVID-19.

The Mayor was vaccinated as soon as he was eligible earlier this year, and is exhibiting only mild, allergy-like symptoms. Mayor Kelly’s wife, Ginny Kelly, was tested for COVID-19 earlier today and received a negative result.
