Snellville schedules trash work session, staff to research property-maintenance ordinance changes
Summary
Staff recommended the city delay issuing a sanitation RFP until after the election and hold a dedicated trash work session (tentatively Nov. 18) to review recommendations; council asked staff to research a property-maintenance ordinance amendment and return with options.
City staff asked the mayor and council to allow more time to review recommendations for the sanitation (trash) program before issuing a request for proposals and proposed a dedicated work session to review staff recommendations.
Staff advised waiting until after the election so newly elected councilmembers can participate in a scheduled work session. Council tentatively set a trash-focused work session for Nov. 18 (date to be confirmed) to review recommended changes prior to an RFP; staff said an RFP could go out in January after council review.
On property maintenance, staff circulated a copy of Gwinnett County's adopted ordinance and said the city attorney and planning director identified concerns with directly adopting the county model. Staff recommended further research in advance of any amendment and suggested delaying action until there is certainty on the details and council membership. "I would say let staff do more research on it and let's wait until we have certainty on in moving forward," a staff speaker said.
No ordinance change or RFP was authorized during the meeting; staff will return with a revised schedule, recommendations and legal review.
