Powder Springs council adopts bond ordinance to advance water project
Summary
The Powder Springs City Council adopted ordinance 4016 (ordinance no. 7076) to finance a multi-part water improvement project, with staff citing a hoped-for closing Aug. 3 and a July 20 pre-closing; the vote was taken by voice and the transcript does not record a roll-call tally.
The Powder Springs City Council voted to adopt a bond ordinance to complete a planned water project, with staff saying the city expects a pre-closing July 20 and a final closing on Aug. 3.
Council considered pending ordinance 4016 (ordinance no. 7076) and moved to approve, suspend the rules and adopt the ordinance on third reading; the motions were carried by voice vote (the transcript records the motions and voice approval but does not include a roll‑call tally or named vote counts). The ordinance was presented to the council as necessary to enable the city to proceed with three related water projects once financing is closed.
A city staff member asked for questions and reminded the council of the timeline: a May budget kickoff followed by reviews in June, revenue projections in July and a Gateway entry in August to finalize the numbers. Staff emphasized the compressed timeline for producing budget figures once state numbers arrive.
The council’s adoption moves the financing process forward; staff said more discussion about specific project segments and follow‑up ordinances will come after closing. The meeting record does not list the names of the motion mover or seconder or an exact yes/no tally.
