City Council approves new municipal court software contract and improvements to dangerous intersection

Statesboro City Council made significant strides in improving municipal services and infrastructure during their recent meeting on April 1, 2025. The council approved an updated contract for municipal court software with Justice 1, increasing the cost from $9 to $11 per paid citation, and raising the monthly fee from $1,500 to $2,000. This new software will enhance cloud capabilities, streamlining court operations and improving efficiency.

In another key decision, the council authorized the acquisition of a critical piece of property at a dangerous intersection on West Main Street and New Johnson Street. This property is essential for future improvements, including the potential installation of a roundabout aimed at enhancing traffic flow and safety in the area.

Additionally, the council approved a contract with Tic Wheel Tracking Solutions for pavement marking replacement, totaling $74,030.25. This project, funded by Splashed Funds, aims to improve road safety and visibility for drivers.

As spring approaches, the council expressed enthusiasm for upcoming community events and initiatives, signaling a commitment to fostering a vibrant and safe environment for Statesboro residents. The decisions made during this meeting are expected to have a lasting positive impact on the community's infrastructure and public services.
