The City Council meeting of Stonecrest, Georgia, held on July 27, 2026, included extensive discussions on several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement actions included the approval of a contract for auditor services with Malden Jenkins, following clarification on contract amendments. The council also approved a vendor contract for playground surface replacement at Parington Park, funded partially by a grant. Additionally, the council approved the purchase and installation of safety equipment, including metal detectors for City Hall, through a cooperative purchase contract with Mallerie Safety and Supply Inc. for $95,448.84, with discussions about the procedural requirements related to the building ownership by the URRA. A midyear budget amendment was also approved to fund certain expenditures, including the safety equipment purchase, with some last-minute account adjustments noted. The council deferred a significant zoning-related decision concerning a city-initiated rezoning application for heavy industrial use on Maddox Road, citing the need for further deliberation due to a tied vote and concerns raised by residents about environmental and community impacts. The meeting also covered policy discussions on supplemental pay for city employees, revealing a lack of standardized criteria and formal processes for determining pay supplements. No votes were taken on the rezoning application, but motions related to budget amendments, contract approvals, and procurement were passed.
