Loading...
Summary
At its April 6 meeting, the Forest Park City Council approved a text amendment changing Public Arts Review Board membership, authorized two Public Works vehicle purchases via trade-in, approved a special facility use for Kawana Stadium, and ratified a summer food service agreement with Clayton County Public Schools; vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
The Forest Park City Council on April 6 approved several agenda items in a series of motions and unanimous voice votes recorded in the transcript as "Aye" and "Motion carries." The items approved included a text amendment to the Public Arts Review Board membership, trade-in and purchase of two Public Works vehicles, a special facility usage request for Kawana Stadium, and a continuing agreement with Clayton County Public Schools to provide summer meals for children.
The text amendment (TA-2026-01) was the subject of a brief public hearing; planning staff described the change as removing the Downtown Development Authority representative and replacing that seat with an additional City of Forest Park resident, while leaving the board's duties and term structure intact. After a public comment in favor, the council voted to approve the amendment.
Other approved items recorded in the meeting transcript:
- Trade-in and purchase of two Public Works vehicles (Council approved moving forward with the purchase and trade-in).
- Special facility usage request for Kawana Stadium (motion passed).
- Agreement with Clayton County Public Schools to continue the summer food service program for children (approved; staff said the city has partnered on this program for four years).
Where motions identified a specific mover or second in the transcript, the record shows the motion and a second followed by a voice vote of "Aye" and the chair's announcement that the motion carried; the transcript does not include recorded roll-call vote tallies or recorded no/abstain votes for these items. The minutes approval for the prior work session and regular meeting was also moved and approved earlier in the session.
Next step: These items were recorded as approved in the regular session; staff will implement the agreements and procurement steps and return any required follow-up items to council as needed.
