Summary
South Fulton — City Manager Sharon d Subadan reported the FY23 audit has been completed and submitted and gave updates on park and facility projects, business licensing migration to Tyler, and staffing for key departments.
South Fulton — City Manager Sharon d Subadan presented the monthly manager’s report at the July 8 work session, reporting that the FY23 audit has been completed and submitted to the State and DCA, and that auditors will present results at an upcoming council meeting.
Capital projects and facilities: Councilmembers pressed the manager for updates on multiple park and facility projects. Subadan said staff would update council during the meeting on Butner Road and Camp Creek right‑of‑way acquisition (an outstanding parcel may require eminent‑domain), and that a separate list of park repairs and schedules would be provided. Councilmember Helen Z. Willis asked specifically about a $3 million roof on the Walker Mall Park pool that had been reported without an apparent warranty; the manager said the roof predated her tenure, that staff had tried a warranty claim without success and that they were tracking repairs and pump issues for the small pool.
Business licensing and Tyler migration: The city manager summarized work moving business licensing and permitting onto the Tyler platform. She said finance and staff were refining the accounting side of Tyler before opening full business‑license and permitting services; staff reported that business licensing work has been painful for some businesses but that the department is remediating records, offering fee waivers in some instances and aiming to reach smoother operations as cleanup completes.
Staffing and recruitment: Subadan told council the economic development director finalist had an unsuitable background and that the city would use interim contracting help and proceed with recruitment; Deputy staff are serving as interims in HR for now. Council asked staff to post project timelines for City Grove Park design and community meetings at the end of design development.
Next steps: Staff said the auditor will present the FY23 audit at the next meeting; the manager also committed to provide timelines and a project plan for the parks and facilities items and continue updates on Tyler and business‑license cleanup.
