Council approves consent agenda including McGinnis Ferry widening IGA and FY24 budget amendment
Summary
Johns Creek approved a consent agenda that included ordinance 25-9-20 to amend the FY24 budget and an intergovernmental agreement with Forsyth County for the McGinnis Ferry Road widening project; councilors noted project cost escalation since 2015.
At the start of the meeting the council approved a two-item consent agenda that included ordinance 25-9-20 (an FY2024 budget amendment) and authorization of an intergovernmental agreement with Forsyth County for the widening of McGinnis Ferry Road.
Council members discussed the McGinnis Ferry project at some length, noting it had been in planning since 2015 at an original cost estimate of about $36 million that has since risen to roughly $110 million. Council members emphasized the project's importance to congestion relief and praised staff coordination across jurisdictions including Forsyth County and GDOT. The consent agenda motion passed unanimously.
The record shows staff and council members framed the widening as a long-delayed regional project that will require continued intergovernmental collaboration; no separate vote on the McGinnis Ferry IGA was recorded apart from the consent approval.
