Milledgeville council approves change orders on CDBG and water projects, OKs alcohol license and schedules final budget adoption
Summary
Council unanimously adopted two change-order resolutions for local infrastructure projects, approved an alcohol retail license for Sia Food Mart, conducted first readings of a rezoning request and the FY2027 budget (no public comments), and deferred May 5 minutes to the next meeting.
Milledgeville City Council voted unanimously to adopt two resolutions authorizing the mayor to execute construction change orders and approved an alcohol license application, as the council also conducted first readings on several ordinances and opened a budget public hearing that drew no public comment.
The council adopted Resolution R-2605-11 authorizing Mayor Mary Parm Copeland to execute change order number one for the Millledgeville Estates WSI fiscal year 23 CDBG project (project number 222624). The council then adopted Resolution R-2605-12 authorizing the mayor to execute change order number two for the North Wayne Street and West Montgomery Street water project (project number 232664). The clerk recorded affirmative votes from all members present: Miss Pendergas, Miss Shanholster, Dr. Lee, Miss Simmons, Miss M and Dr. Wills.
Council also approved an alcohol license application submitted on behalf of CO PLY 717 LLC doing business as Sia Food Mart at 1051 North Jefferson Street for a beer-and-wine retail package (to-go). The application was presented and, after a motion and second, the clerk recorded a unanimous vote to grant the license.
On first reading the council received Ordinance O-2605-14, a rezoning and special-use request for property at 900 Barrows Ferry Road (tax map M80-110, 0.24 acres; owner listed as Arlene Simmons) proposing a group residential and educational transitional house for a maximum of 10 to 12 individuals; the ordinance was referred to the planning and zoning commission. The clerk also read Ordinance O-2605-15, the FY2027 annual operating budget (July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027) and the five-year capital improvements program; the public hearing produced no speakers and the ordinance is scheduled for final reading and adoption on June 23.
A councilmember asked whether May 5 meeting minutes required approval this evening; Attorney Jordan advised they could be approved at the next meeting and the item will be placed on the next agenda. The meeting adjourned following a motion and a unanimous roll call vote.
