The Lyman Town Council held their regular monthly meeting on Nov. 10, which was the first meeting led by new mayor David Petty. The council discussed a range of issues, including the appointment of a new Mayor Pro Tempore and the formation of a Community Care Committee to assist residents with small projects. The council also approved a donation to the Middle Tyger Community Center and a new ordinance designating Vernon Street as a right-turn-only exit onto US Highway 29. An ordinance to rezone property owned by the Boiler Tube Company of America was passed despite the town's Planning Commission recommending denial of the application, and the 2026 schedule of Town Council meetings was passed.

The Tyger River Fire Department in Lyman showcased a new fire truck unit at a recent council meeting. The 2025 Pierce Ascendant model will replace the department's 1997 model and comes with technology upgrades, more storage space and a greater ladder reach. Council also read a proclamation declaring Sept. 17 Constitution Day, and three residents spoke during public forum.

The Lyman Town Council discussed stormwater issues in the Lyman Mill Village, including failing pipes and alleyway maintenance. The Council approved legal services to investigate if the town has any legal authority to access, remove, or repair the faulty pipes, and if not, potential legal action against third parties. Residents commented on aging infrastructure and requested the Council to hold a vote to return alley ownership to the town, but the Mayor remained firm that the alleyways were private property and not the town's responsibility.
