Roswell City Council: Regular Meeting (October 26, 2026)

At the October 26, 2026, Roswell City Council regular meeting, the mayor’s proposed FY2027 budget was presented; it was an informational presentation, not an adoption vote. The proposed all-funds budget totals $227 million, including $125.9 million for the General Fund and approximately $18.4 million in capital investments. Notable proposed capital spending includes $3 million for city-building maintenance, $4.4 million to replace vehicles and equipment, $1.47 million for a fire pumper truck, $400,000 for traffic-signal poles, $3 million for road resurfacing, and $773,000 in water-fund investments. The presentation also cited replacement of aging public-safety dispatch equipment and radios, and a proposed operating millage rate of 5.049. No new bonds are planned. Budget workshops are scheduled for November 6 and 20, with readings and adoption planned for November 9 and December 7.

The council also heard an item to apply for and accept a Georgia Municipal Association Partners and Safety Grant of up to $10,000 for safety enhancements, training, or improvements. The transcript ends during the presentation, so it does not establish whether the grant item or consent agenda was approved. During public comment, young residents advocated for a skate park; no council action on that request is recorded. No vendor selection or contract award was identified.
