The council approved an ordinance granting Atmos Energy Corporation a franchise to construct, maintain and operate pipeline and equipment in the city of Quitman. 

No action was taken on an ordinance to facilitate traffic flow during school pick-up times on Paul St. on the west side of the elementary campus.

The council also approved a 2024 City of Quitman investment policy. Aldermen approved a resolution approving adding Hilltop Securities to the 2024 broker list for Quitman.

A new holiday schedule for city staff was also approved.
