Staff seeks council concurrence on T‑SPLOST 3 buckets for $84.6M in projected revenue
Summary
Assistant City Manager Haggard presented a five‑bucket framework for potential T‑SPLOST 3 spending and said staff estimates roughly $84.6 million will be available after administrative withholdings; staff requested concurrence on category funding levels to meet a May 31 Fulton County IGA deadline.
Assistant City Manager Haggard told the council the staff has organized proposed T‑SPLOST 3 allocations into categories including pedestrian/bike improvements, maintenance and safety, operations and safety, streetscape/landscape, and program management, with funds divided into tier 1 and tier 2 per past IGA rules.
Haggard said staff’s projections show "approximately $84,600,000 available after administrative withholdings." He asked the council for concurrence on category funding levels so staff can submit the program to Fulton County by May 31. Councilmembers asked about flexibility to move funds between buckets later; Haggard confirmed the council can reallocate funds by vote as projects mature.
Members discussed whether the program management allocation (roughly 5% of the total) would pay city staff working on T‑SPLOST projects; staff said those positions would be funded from the program budget and not double‑paid. Council also clarified that elected officials can educate the public about the referendum but cannot advocate for or against the measure.
Next steps: Staff will return with an IGA exhibit and the draft IGA this summer; council asked staff to bring back additional details if requested over May meetings.
Why it matters: T‑SPLOST allocations determine multimodal and capital investments across Johns Creek and require a city‑by‑city IGA with Fulton County to place the referendum on the November ballot.
