Royston manager reports 91% of 2024 property taxes collected; updates on water and gas projects
Summary
City Manager Lanier Dunn told the council that about $669,000 (roughly 91%) of 2024 property taxes had been collected as of Feb. 28, 2025; he also reported staffing vacancies, a Georgia PSC natural-gas inspection and updates on water/sewer projects and bid timelines.
City Manager Lanier Dunn presented the operations report on March 11, saying about $669,000 — roughly 91% of billed property taxes for 2024 — had been collected as of Feb. 28, 2025. He listed vacancies across city departments, including two patrol-officer openings in the Police Department, two Street Department vacancies (one CDL driver and one laborer), one Natural Gas vacancy (trainee or experienced technician) and one Water Department operator/operator-trainee vacancy.
Dunn said Natural Gas personnel prepared for a Georgia Public Service Commission Distribution Integrity Management Plan inspection on Feb. 25; a PSC report is expected and staff anticipate one outstanding probable violation to be cleared. On water and sewer, he noted a Feb. 27 public hearing on the Dill’s water line grant that drew no public comment, a Raw Water Intake bid package released Feb. 26 with a March 27 closing date, and a wastewater plant project whose plans were revised to reduce scope and cost and sent to the low bidder for updated pricing.
The city manager also reported one building permit issued in February for a new home at 256 Adams Place Drive and reiterated the rezone request for 119 College Street that was on the agenda.
