Special Called Meeting 6:00 PM 07-02-2026

The City Council of Stonecrest, Georgia, held a special called meeting on July 2, 2026, primarily addressing the execution of the city manager's employment agreement following the mayor's refusal to sign it. The council authorized the mayor pro tem to execute the contract to ensure continuity of city operations. The meeting also included discussion and approval of a resolution ratifying emergency actions taken to maintain municipal functions during the city manager vacancy, such as payroll processing and banking signatory authority. Additionally, the council reviewed a supplemental pay policy for city employees, though some questions about budget impacts and authority remained unresolved due to absent staff. A significant portion of the meeting was devoted to a workplace incident involving the mayor and the finance director, with conflicting accounts presented and calls for a formal investigation to address allegations of misconduct and ensure due process. No final decisions were made regarding censure, but the council agreed to pursue an investigation with assistance from the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA).
