Summary

The Kennesaw City Council voted unanimously Jan. 6 to set the qualifying fee for the November 2025 city council races at the state-mandated 3% of gross salary ($360) and to publish the fee schedule in the Marietta Daily Journal before the Feb. 1 deadline.

The Kennesaw City Council voted unanimously Jan. 6 to set the qualifying fee for the November 2025 city council elections at the state-mandated rate of 3% of the office’s gross salary — $360 — and authorized staff to publish the fees in the Marietta Daily Journal prior to the Feb. 1 qualifying deadline.

The fee-setting resolution applies to council posts 3, 4 and 5. A staff member presented the resolution and said the fee equals the state-mandated 3% of gross salary, then asked the council to authorize publication in the Marietta Daily Journal. The council approved the measure by unanimous voice/hand vote; the record shows five votes in favor and none opposed.

The action formalizes the city’s compliance with state qualifying rules and ensures the fee schedule is published before the statutory filing window. The record does not list who formally moved or seconded the motion in the transcript.
