City Council Update

The first meeting of the Mayor and Council in July celebrated Park and Recreation Month, the City’s youth baseball team being ranked seventh in the state in the GRPA league and the introduction of Derrick Turner, Assistant City Manager.

The Mayor and Council then heard a second read and public hearing on an ordinance to consider a 12-month time extension or a termination of a SLUP previously approved in May of 2022 for 2059 Northlake Parkway. The approval to extend the SLUP by 12 months passed the Council with a unanimous vote.

In new business three ordinances had their first hearing and public hearing for a SLUP to allow a drive-thru for a proposed bank at 3925 Lavista Road, an amendment to the Tucker Code to align the ordinance with the new business location approval process changing the name to Zoning Use Approval, and an update to various chapters of the city code to update references and identify the appropriate manner of appeal. Four contracts finished off the evening pertaining to sidewalk design and a memorandum of agreement with the Tucker Summit Community Improvement District for design of sidewalk on Mountain Industrial Blvd. All four contracts were approved unanimously.

There was a special called meeting on July 15 for a first read to amend the Tucker code, Chapter 14, Environment, enacting regulations relating to on-site sewage management systems. The Council approved the amendment at the July 22 meeting.

The July 22 meeting held many informational updates to ongoing plans and studies, and approval of an amended fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2025.
