Building Authority approves Series 2025 bond resolution and accepts bid results

The Building Authority approved a bond resolution and accepted bid results for its Series 2025 bonds at a special meeting Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025, in the council chambers at 70 S. Clayton St., GA 30046.

Keith Lee, the authority’s chief financial officer, introduced pricing results for the Series 2025 bonds and presented the item with Doug Gebhardt, first vice president at Davenport, and Kenneth Pollock, attorney with Butler Snow. The transcript records a pricing results presentation but does not include dollar amounts, interest rates, bidders’ names beyond those presenting, or other pricing specifics.

The motion to approve the bond resolution and accept the bid results was made by Board Member Victoria Jones and seconded by Board Member Marlene Taylor-Crawford. The vote recorded for the motion lists Board Member Bruce Johnson, Board Member David Still, Board Member Victoria Jones, Board Member Marlene Taylor-Crawford, and Board Member Austin Thompson as voting yea; the transcript notes that Board Member Austin Thompson arrived during the presentation.

No public comment or additional debate on the bond terms appears in the transcript. The meeting record shows earlier procedural business: a motion by Board Member Bruce Johnson, seconded by Board Member Victoria Jones, to approve prior meeting minutes from Jan. 15, 2025, was approved by a 4-0 vote (Board Member Thompson was absent at that vote). The meeting adjourned on a motion by Board Member Victoria Jones, seconded by Board Member Austin Thompson, with all five members voting yea.

The transcript does not specify the intended use of bond proceeds, the underwriting syndicate beyond the named presenters, or required approvals beyond the board vote. Those details are not stated in the meeting record provided.

Meeting minutes were signed by David R. Still, Board Chairman, and Karen Pierce, City Clerk, as indicated in the record.
