Buford Commission adopts Hotel/Motel ordinance amendment, updates sewer tap fees and reappoints planning board member
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted changes to the Hotel/Motel Ordinance, approved amendments to commercial/industrial and general sewer tap fee schedules, reappointed Amy Reed to the Planning & Zoning Board and tabled a low bid for water/sewer contracts until January.
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Buford City Commission adopted an amendment to the Hotel/Motel Ordinance intended to enhance standards for quality and safety in transient lodging and approved two separate amendments to sewer tap fee schedules.
The Hotel/Motel Ordinance amendment was adopted by unanimous vote (Ayes 3 Nays 0). The commission also approved amendments to the commercial/industrial sewer tap fee rate schedule and approved a separate set of amendments to the general sewer tap fee schedule; both fee amendments passed 3-0. The minutes do not include the specific fee amounts or ordinance text; those details are recorded in staff packets and ordinance files held by the city.
The commission re‑appointed Amy Reed to the Planning & Zoning Board (Ayes 3 Nays 0). During the same portion of the agenda the commission tabled action on the low bid for annual water and sewer contracts until the January meeting, again by unanimous vote.
All motions recorded in the minutes passed unanimously. The commission’s adoption of the ordinance and the fee changes will be implemented through city administrative processes; the minutes direct staff to update rate schedules and ordinance codification as appropriate.
