The Villa Rica City Council unanimously adopted the meeting agenda and consent agenda Oct. 14, including a proclamation designating October 2025 as National Colonial Heritage Month and a rental agreement to support the Villa Rica Military Veterans Association.
The Villa Rica City Council unanimously adopted the meeting agenda and the consent agenda at its Oct. 14 regular meeting.
Among consent-agenda items the council approved were a proclamation naming October 2025 as National Colonial Heritage Month presented by the William Wofford chapter of the National Society of Colonial Dames of the Seventeenth Century and a rental agreement with the Villa Rica Military Veterans Association for land referenced during public comment.
Councilmembers moved and seconded the proclamation; the record shows a unanimous vote to adopt it after the mayor read the proclamation aloud.
Other items approved on the consent agenda included authorization to auction non-running retired police and fleet vehicles through GovDeals, citywide cleanup dates for October, revisions to development regulations (Section 40500 mentioned on the agenda), Georgia Power lighting agreements covering several city streets, and approval of Dec. 26, 2025 as a one-time employee paid holiday since Christmas falls on a Thursday.
The lease referenced by a public commenter during the meeting will enable the Villa Rica Military Veterans Association to begin planning a Veterans Memorial Park on the parcel designated in the approved rental agreement; a public commenter said the association is seeking state tax-exemption confirmation before proceeding.
