Summary
At a May 27 meeting Snellville council voted unanimously to commission a compensation study (Carl Vinson Institute, $15,136), engage CKH CPAs for annual audit services, declare police vehicles and equipment surplus for auction, and authorize a Jacobs concept‑plan contract not to exceed $50,000; two ordinances were waved to the June 8 agenda for final action. The council recessed into an executive session on pending litigation (OCGA §50‑14‑21) and took no action on return.
The Snellville City Council on May 27 approved several administrative and procurement items with unanimous votes and advanced two ordinances to the June 8 agenda.
Salary study: Council approved a proposal for a follow‑up classification and compensation study from the Carl Vinson Institute of Government to verify market competitiveness of city pay scales. The contract amount recorded in the meeting was $15,136; the study follows an earlier 2023 classification and compensation review that established a $15 minimum wage and a revised pay scale.
Audit engagement: The council approved an engagement letter with CKH CPAs & Advisors to perform the city’s annual audit, replacing the retiring auditor Jimmy Whitaker.
Surplus property: Council declared several police vehicles and associated equipment surplus (a 2010 Nissan Altima, two Dodge Durango police units, a vault system) and authorized sale through an online auction platform (govdeals.com).
Jacobs concept plan: Council approved a proposal with Jacobs to prepare a concept plan for redevelopment of the site at Highway 124 and Oak Road, authorizing the mayor to sign a contract not to exceed $50,000 pending city‑attorney approval.
Ordinances advanced: Council waived the first readings and placed Ordinance 2026‑02 (FY2026–27 budget ordinance) and Ordinance 2026‑03 (solid‑waste code amendments reflecting a new sanitation contract and phaseout of the blue‑bag program) on the June 8 agenda for final action.
Executive session: The council recessed into an executive session to discuss pending and potential litigation pursuant to OCGA §50‑14‑21; a roll call showed Mayor Barbara Bender, Mayor Pro Tem Norman Carter and all council members present and voting to close the meeting. No action resulted from the executive session; the council reconvened, reported no action taken, and adjourned the meeting.
