Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting, the Statham City Council unanimously approved an agenda amendment to add a public-works dump truck purchase, received reports from multiple departments, reviewed a fireworks quote for the Star-Spangled Statham 2026 event and heard an introduction to a proposed ordinance to register private building inspection companies.
The Statham City Council on Feb. 3 amended its agenda to add a planned dump truck purchase for the public works department and heard departmental reports and two discussion items during a work session at the Statham Community Center.
Councilmember Penn moved “to amend the agenda to include discussion item V.3 Dump Truck Purchase for Public Works,” and Councilmember Burnette seconded; Councilmembers Terilli, Burnette, Penn and Barton voted yes and the motion passed 4-0. The meeting was called to order by Mayor Krause at 6:31 p.m.
Assistant City Accountant Karine Brooms delivered the finance report and Lt. Hood presented the police department report. Public Works Director Brett Day provided the public works update; Day later addressed the council on the added agenda item, a proposed dump truck purchase for the department. The minutes do not record a formal procurement vote or a contract award on the purchase at this meeting.
City Administrator Cheryl Venable spoke about a quote for Star-Spangled Statham 2026 fireworks, outlining vendor options and estimated costs for the council’s planning. City Attorney Jody Campbell introduced an ordinance proposal to allow registration of private building inspection companies, bringing the concept to the council for initial discussion; the minutes record the item as presented but do not show any final action or vote on the ordinance.
During the citizen input portion, resident Mary Lay spoke about damage to her car; the minutes note her comment but do not record any council response or follow-up action in the meeting record.
