Financial context and reallocation
City Manager Robbie Rokovitz told the council the city budgeted $375,000 in capital for public-works items (HVAC, restrooms, gutters, flex room, parking lot) but that recent emergent needs produced roughly $215,000 in additional expenditures over about 45 days. Items cited included emergency tree removals on South Fulton Parkway (arborist-declared emergency), an electrical panel/capacity issue and an unbudgeted $32,000 sound-system/AV need. Rokovitz said staff will reprioritize and reallocate remaining capital funds to cover the emergency costs and push some projects (bathroom, roof, flex room) into the next fiscal year.
Public-safety note
Police Chief Kevin Digou briefed the council on a domestic-related shooting at Palmetto School earlier that day; he said the incident did not involve students or staff, one woman was killed and an arrest was made in Houston County; Fulton County School Police are leading the investigation.
Next steps
The council recessed to an executive session for a legal matter and reconvened before adjourning. Minutes were later approved on March 3, 2026.
