Roswell staff brief council on Fulton County Service Delivery Strategy; adoption timeline set
Summary
City staff and the mayor reviewed the Fulton County Service Delivery Strategy process required by state law, identifying senior services, jail operations, water/wastewater, warming/cooling centers and animal control as priority issues; staff said agreements are targeted for county submission Oct. 1 and DCA adoption by Dec. 31.
City Administrator Randy Knighton and Mayor Mary Robicheaux briefed the committee on the Fulton County Service Delivery Strategy (SDS), the intergovernmental planning required under state law to allocate services and costs across the county. Knighton summarized key issues flagged during negotiations — senior services, jail operations/detention, water supply/wastewater treatment, warming/cooling centers and animal control — and noted that some items have been resolved while a few mediations remain outstanding.
Knighton warned that failing to secure a service delivery agreement could jeopardize qualified local government status and access to state grants and loans. He outlined a schedule that targets city approvals in September and county submission to the Department of Community Affairs on Oct. 1 for DCA review, with a goal of DCA adoption by Dec. 31. Councilmembers raised concerns about homelessness and North Fulton services; Mayor Robicheaux said discussions included potential voucher and rental assistance modeling for North Fulton, though specifics remain unresolved.
