The City of Tucker held a council meeting on May 27, 2026, focusing extensively on infrastructure and public safety projects. Key procurement-related discussions included coordination with DeKalb County on a water main replacement project along Hugh Howell Road, with plans for an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to combine water main installation and road resurfacing to minimize community disruption. The council reviewed three design alternatives for the Rosser Road and Hugh Howell Road intersection improvement project, with estimated costs ranging from $1.9 million to $4 million, and discussed funding allocations from the current and upcoming fiscal budgets. The meeting also covered the adoption of a comprehensive transportation plan update emphasizing safety, complete streets, and a Vision Zero policy aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities by 2050, which could influence future capital projects and funding opportunities. Additionally, the council deliberated on the potential procurement of smart lighting and camera systems for public safety and Wi-Fi access in downtown areas, weighing privacy and operational concerns. Lastly, updates to the fee schedule for park rentals, including maintenance fees and event permitting requirements, were discussed with guidance provided for finalizing rates. Motions were passed to approve the meeting agenda with adjustments, and an executive session was called for personnel, real estate, and litigation matters.
