July 22, 2024 (Tucker, GA) Tucker’s Mayor and Council try to keep the second meeting of the months to presentations and updates but of late, it has turned into a voting meeting as well.

The Mayor and Council then had a second read and vote to amend Chapter 14 of the Tucker code, Environment, enacting regulations relating to onsite sewage management systems. The amendment was approved 5-0. The fee schedule for Fiscal Year ’25 was then amended with a 5-0 vote.

The exciting item of the night was the approval of the contract award to Hasbun for the construction of the Tucker Town Green with a 5-0 vote from the Mayor and Council.
