Votes at a glance: Peachtree City council approves routine minutes, contracts and budget amendments
Summary
Council approved minutes, a consent agenda, a $247,500 budget amendment for Kedron Aquatic Center design, a $177,500 mechanical services extension, a $100,000 CVB vehicle amendment, and created a part‑time police specialist; the burn ordinance amendment was tabled.
Peachtree City Council approved a series of routine and project items during a special called meeting.
Minutes and consent agenda: The council approved minutes (Nov. 20 city council and executive session; Dec. 1 special called meeting) and passed the consent agenda, which included a stormwater maintenance agreement, a new alcohol license for Cleta and acceptance of an in‑kind materials donation from Bike Walk Fayette.
Alcohol ordinance: Council approved amendments to city code sections 6‑113 and 6‑112 to allow restaurants and retail holders of alcohol licenses to sell unopened bottles of wine to take home. A separate proposed amendment to create an entertainment or ‘‘sip and stroll’’ district was tabled for further review.
Contracts and budgets: Council approved a FY26 budget amendment of $247,500 to retain architectural design services to replace the Kedron Aquatic Center bubble with sprung structures. The council also approved a one‑year extension of the city’s mechanical services contract with Shumate Mechanical for $177,500 and approved a CVB budget amendment of up to $100,000 (from hotel/motel tax reserves) to purchase up to two CVB vehicles and wraps.
Police staffing: The council approved creation of a part‑time occupant protection specialist position to maintain the child‑seat inspection and recertification program after a county instructor retires; staff estimated minimal budget impact (annual impact projected at about $2,500 if not contained within the current budget).
Easement: Council approved termination of a development‑authority reserved easement on the NCR property, subject to reservation of any needed utility easements. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for personnel and real estate matters.
Vote format and follow up: Most actions were approved by voice vote; where staff follow‑up was requested (notably the burn ordinance review), the council directed staff to return with maps, permit‑history data and implementation options.
