Council approves sewer agreement with Gwinnett County, waives developer fees and surpluses police vehicle
Summary
Snellville approved an intergovernmental agreement with Gwinnett County to extend sewer across Highway 78, authorized a fee waiver tied to the sewer project (Resolution 2025‑07), and declared a 2016 police vehicle surplus; all votes were unanimous.
At its April 14 meeting the Snellville City Council voted unanimously on three non‑zoning items: it approved an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Gwinnett County for a sewer extension, adopted Resolution 2025‑07 waiving certain building permit and land disturbance fees tied to the sewer project, and declared a police department vehicle surplus.
Mayor Barbara Bender and staff described the sewer project as an upgrade of sewer lines across Highway 78 to Lenoir Church Road, including work to serve the Church on Main and adjacent developments. The city will contribute $1,400,000 from SPLOST funds toward the project; the county will fund the remaining cost and handle design, construction and bidding under the IGA. Council approved the IGA by a 5‑0 vote.
The council also approved Resolution 2025‑07 to waive the city’s building permit and land disturbance fees for approximately 16.96 acres at Henry Clower Boulevard, Pine Street and Church Street as part of facilitating the sewer upgrade tied to an apartment project. Staff explained waiving fees simplifies payment flow because the city agreed to cover the pipe size increase cost rather than route reimbursements through the developer; the resolution passed 5‑0.
Finally the council voted to surplus police unit 2020 (a 2016 Dodge Charger). Staff said the vehicle will be listed for public sale through the city’s online surplus portal; the motion passed 5‑0.
