City Council Update – November 2022

Tucker’s Mayor and City Council held their first meeting of the month on October 10, performing a number of first reads and contract considerations in addition to unanimously approving the adoption of the City of Tucker official calendar for 2023.

The ordinances that received a first read were:

• ordinance for City-initiated rezonings at 1220 and 1250 Richardson Street
• ordinance to amend the Tucker Code Chapter 46 Zoning regarding convenience store regulations to better reflect district zoning requirements and amend some definitions for clarity

The unanimously approved contracts were:

• an award on a bid for the Johns Homestead preservation plan & construction documents project to Morrison Design
• park signage services for A-1 Signs to replace the remaining park signs with the newly-designed monument signs as seen at Tucker Recreation Center and Henderson Park

An amendment to the contract for the Cooledge Road sidewalk construction project to modify the stormwater pipe in the area and increase the concrete quantity to smoothly tie-in driveways was approved 6-1.

Council then recessed for executive session and returned with no further business.

Mayor and Council met again for a work session on October 24 for presentations by the City Manager, the Finance Director, Discover DeKalb and the Parks & Recreation Director. Council recessed for a quick executive session with no action taken before adjournment.

All City Council meetings are held on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at City Hall (1975 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 350B).
