Loading...
Summary
During the regular session the council approved the mayor’s selection of JJ as mayor pro tem, renewed a bank resolution for a line of credit, approved a Jackson County housing/booking contract rate increase to $60/night, and accepted a change order for the West Jackson Road North Tank.
The Hoschton City Council recorded four clear approvals during its regular session after a work session of extended discussion.
- Mayor pro tem: The council approved the mayor’s recommendation to appoint JJ as mayor pro tem for 2026 following a motion and second.
- Bank renewal: Council approved Resolution 2026‑007 to renew the city’s line of credit with Peachtree State Bank LLC; staff explained the bank requested a resolution rather than minute‑to‑minute authorization.
- Jackson County housing/booking contract: The council approved an amendment increasing the jail housing rate from $40 to $60 per night per inmate under the county contract.
- West Jackson Road North Tank change order: After contractor Jerry described needed piping to route overflow away from residents and address icing issues, the council approved the change order as presented.
Two other notable procedural actions: the council discussed and then moved to table a final decision on Mulberry Park bids until March to allow additional stakeholder and planner input, and staff noted the 60‑day bid window and the option to ask bidders to hold prices for 30 days. No final appropriation changes tied to Mulberry Park were finalized in the work session record.
