The City Council Work Session for the City of Stonecrest, Georgia, held on June 8, 2026, focused primarily on the proposed 2026 millage rate, which the city plans to maintain at 1.257 mills, unchanged since 2022. The council reviewed the property tax process, public hearing procedures, and the impact of property reassessments on tax revenues. The session included a public hearing where residents expressed concerns about the millage rate and property taxes. Financial updates indicated a positive year-to-date surplus, with ongoing budget evaluations and mid-year amendments planned. Additionally, the council discussed a comprehensive citywide fee study proposing adjustments to various municipal fees, including permits and recreational program fees, aiming to better align fees with actual costs while considering community accessibility. Code enforcement updates highlighted ongoing challenges with compliance, illegal activities, and weekend enforcement limitations, with discussions on improving response times and enforcement consistency. The meeting also covered zoning ordinance and overlay updates, including feedback on special event permitting processes and the need for clearer regulations to address repeated special events and community impact. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this session, but several policy and fee structure discussions could influence future procurement and vendor opportunities.
