July 16, 2026 | Board of Aldermen Meeting

The City of Acworth, Georgia Board of Aldermen held a meeting on July 16, 2026, which included several public hearings and consent agenda approvals related to city governance and property matters. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of the 2026 millage rate ordinance, which maintained the millage rate at 8.95 mills despite an increase in total tax collections due to new growth and property reassessments. The board also considered and approved a resolution to abandon a portion of Ross Road right-of-way and deed the property to adjoining owners, facilitating a developer's commitment to connect a private community to a gravity sanitary sewer line, thereby reducing maintenance costs for the homeowners association. Additionally, the board approved an overlay certificate for the demolition of a structure at 4396 Takoa Drive. All these items were placed on the consent agenda and approved unanimously. The meeting also featured presentations and public comments but no new contracts or vendor selections were discussed. The city manager highlighted ongoing capital improvement projects, including the McCray House renovation ribbon cutting and community engagement events. Overall, the meeting focused on tax policy, property management, and community development with several procurement and budget-related approvals.
