Key votes and actions
- Agenda: The council approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Councilmember Marcus H. Nobles III, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Tammy Waters; the vote was recorded as unanimous.
- Consent agenda: The council approved the consent agenda unanimously.
- Rezoning (Parcel G04 094A, 305 Kicklighter Street): The council tabled the rezoning request after United Holdings, LLC did not appear before Planning & Zoning to explain intended use; City Attorney Andrew Johnson recommended tabling the request until the developer provides details.
- Fire equipment ("Jaws of Life"): Fire Chief Scott Terrell sought replacement of an extrication tool set that dates to before 1987. The council approved Option 1 (complete replacement from MES with a $6,000 trade-in) on a unanimous vote (motion by Councilmember Cynthia Miller, seconded by Councilmember Greg Janeczek).
- Mini split for IT room: The council accepted the low bid from Bland's Air & Electrical for $4,128.45 to install a mini split in the IT room (motion by Councilmember Greg Janeczek, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Tammy Waters). A higher bid from Terrell's Refrigeration was listed at $6,675.00.
- Rescind burn ordinance (Resolution #26-26): Noting state and county rescissions already in place, the council unanimously rescinded a prior temporary ordinance limiting outdoor burning due to drought conditions.
- Transportation Investment Act project agreement (Resolution #26-27): The council unanimously approved Resolution #26-27 to accept a Transportation Investment Act of 2026 agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation covering a list of local streets identified in the agenda.
- Vehicle purchase for Water & Sewer: The council approved purchasing a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado for the Water & Sewer Department. Bids were recorded (Woody Folsom $39,056.82; Kyle Durrence $36,765.00). The meeting record indicates the previously owned truck was totaled and the city received $17,086 in insurance proceeds; the council approved using that insurance payment and SPLOST funds to cover the remaining cost. The motion (made by Councilmember Cynthia Miller and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Tammy Waters) passed 3-1; Councilmember Greg Janeczek voted no.
- Executive session: The council voted unanimously to enter executive session for legal matters and personnel, later returning to regular session. The council reported discussing hiring a city manager and said it would likely hold a special called meeting on Friday to continue discussions.
Next steps and notes
The rezoning request will return to Planning & Zoning once the developer notifies staff of intended property use. Several procurement tasks were assigned for implementation by the Fire Department, Public Works and Water & Sewer. The council did not take any formal disciplinary action related to public-comments allegations at this meeting.
