Peachtree City, City Council - Jul 09, 2026

The Peachtree City, Georgia City Council meeting on July 9, 2026, focused heavily on procurement and budgetary matters. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to discussing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for exclusive residential solid waste management services. The council reviewed multiple vendor proposals, including Amwaste, Republic, and GFL, evaluating service options, costs, and performance criteria such as customer service standards and recycling requirements. The council considered the benefits of consolidating waste services under a single provider to improve efficiency, reduce truck traffic, and address issues with residents lacking trash service. Public comments reflected concerns about mandatory service and loss of consumer choice. The council planned further discussions and vendor presentations in August. Additionally, the council approved a guaranteed maximum price of $7,981,687 for the construction of Fire Station 85 under a construction manager at risk contract. The meeting also included a presentation of the draft annexation study focusing on potential commercial land annexations and fiscal impacts. The fiscal year 2027 operating and capital improvement budget was reviewed, highlighting market trends, state legislative impacts, and the city’s financial position, including plans for a $12 million bond for infrastructure projects without increasing the millage rate. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session for real estate and litigation matters.
