Kennesaw council unanimously adopts Chapter 10 changes to align with county enforcement
Summary
At a Dec. 1 final public hearing, the Kennesaw City Council approved amendments to Chapter 10 to align city code with county provisions and enable county enforcement within city limits; the measure passed 5‑0 after no public opposition was recorded.
Kennesaw’s City Council voted unanimously Dec. 1 to approve amendments to Chapter 10 of the city code that, according to staff, bring the ordinance into alignment with the county so county enforcement can operate within the city.
Dr. Drobni, who presented the item during the final public hearing, said the amendment “updates our ordinance to match that of the county so that they're able to enforce county law within the city.” Councilmember (Speaker 8) moved to approve the ordinance as presented; Councilmember (Speaker 9) seconded and the motion passed by a 5‑0 vote.
The council opened and closed the public hearing with no members of the public rising to comment. Mayor (name not specified) called for the vote after confirming council questions had been answered. The council indicated this ordinance is a preparatory step toward an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the county; the IGA itself was not before the council for final approval at this meeting.
The amendment was presented as a technical and administrative change to align city language and enforcement authority with county law. No amendments or recorded dissent were made on the council floor. The council approved the ordinance in the single recorded vote for the item.
