Morrow Council approves intergovernmental agreement with Clayton County for election equipment after 3–1 vote; LWCF grant accepted unanimously
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing an intergovernmental agreement with the Clayton County Board of Elections for election equipment by a 3–1 vote after two council members expressed concern about missing cost estimates; the council also unanimously accepted a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant.
The Morrow City Council voted on two resolutions during its Aug. 26, 2025 meeting. The council approved a resolution authorizing city officials to enter an intergovernmental agreement with the Clayton County Board of Elections and Registration for election equipment by a 3–1 vote. The motion was moved by Councilman Khoa Vuong and seconded by Councilwoman Hue Nguyen. Mayor Pro Tem Renee S. Knight and Councilwoman Dorothy Dean voted "Nay." Mayor John J. Lampl II cast the tie-breaking "Aye."
Both Knight and Dean told the council they opposed the agreement because the meeting record did not include clear cost estimates for conducting municipal elections under the proposed arrangement. Councilwoman Dean formally requested that a cost analysis for the upcoming election be presented at the next council meeting; the City Clerk agreed to provide that analysis.
The council then unanimously approved a separate motion to accept the terms of a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. Councilwoman Nguyen moved and Councilman Vuong seconded the motion to accept the grant; the vote was recorded as unanimous. The meeting minutes do not list a grant amount or project details in the transcript.
The council adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
