Roswell City Council: Regular Meeting (July 13, 2026)

The Roswell City Council held a regular meeting on July 13, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and voted on. Key procurement actions included the approval of a $9.49 million construction contract with Backbone Infrastructure LLC for the Riverside Road TSPLOST project, which involves multi-use trails, sidewalks, and traffic improvements. The council also approved an intergovernmental agreement with Fulton County for the distribution of 2026 transportation special purpose local option sales tax (TSPLOST) proceeds, with a population-based allocation of 15.04% to Roswell. Additionally, the council approved a midyear budget amendment for fiscal year 2026 to align the budget with updated operational needs, including public safety staffing, infrastructure, technology, and personnel adjustments, funded by increased sales tax and insurance premium tax revenues. The budget amendment passed with a 4-2 vote. The meeting also included appointments to various city commissions and a resolution to apply for a National Endowment for the Arts grant. Discussions highlighted concerns about project design choices, budget transparency, and stormwater management, but the procurement and budget items were ultimately approved.
