Thomasville council places budget amendment, PACE Park design and traffic changes on Dec. 15 docket

During the Dec. 8 briefing, City Manager Michael Brandt presented items the administration asked the council to place on the Dec. 15 council meeting dockets. The items listed for the consent agenda include minutes, an ordinance establishing a coinage policy for payments, a wastewater treatment plant sludge removal contract, and a revised council meeting schedule. Items listed for the regular agenda include budget amendment 2026-P6-01, foundation grants for the Central Recreation Center project, an ordinance amending the Thomasville Traffic and Vehicles Ordinances to add no-parking on portions of Cates Avenue and East Sunrise Avenue, and a contract with McGill Associates for the PACE Park design phase.

The briefing record shows these items were placed on the dockets for the council meeting; no final votes on the listed contracts, ordinances or grants occurred during the briefing. The transcript contains an inconsistency: the regular-agenda line includes a date of Nov. 17, 2025, while the briefing otherwise references the Dec. 15 meeting date for consideration. The council briefing scheduled consideration at the Dec. 15 council meeting, and the Dec. 15 docket should be treated as the operative upcoming date for these items unless the clerk’s official agenda states otherwise.

Key docket items to watch: - Budget amendment: 2026-P6-01 (details not specified in the briefing). - PACE Park: contract with McGill Associates for design phase services (contract text and cost not specified). - Traffic ordinance change: adds no-parking on portions of Cates Avenue and East Sunrise Avenue (specific block limits not specified). - Wastewater sludge removal contract (contractor and price not specified). - Ordinance establishing a coinage policy for payments (text not specified).

The council will consider these items and any public comment at its Dec. 15, 2025 meeting.
