Peachtree City, City Council - Aug 6, 2026

The Peachtree City, Georgia City Council held a meeting on August 6, 2026, which included a detailed presentation and discussion regarding the city's solid waste management services. The council reviewed a Request for Proposal (RFP) process for selecting a single waste hauler, with Amwaste emerging as the preferred vendor. Amwaste representatives presented their service options, pricing scenarios, customer service plans, and transition strategies. The council and public engaged in extensive dialogue about the benefits and concerns of moving to a single hauler system, including service quality, pricing stability, impact on existing haulers, and mandatory participation. The council decided to defer a final decision on awarding the contract to Amwaste until the September 3, 2026 meeting to allow for further public input. Additionally, the council approved a budget amendment and the renaming of the Peachtree City Library to honor MT Allen. They also approved a professional design services contract for a shared-use path bridge project and discussed updates to the city's unified development ordinance, including native and invasive plant regulations. No votes were taken on the solid waste contract during this meeting, but motions were passed on the library naming, budget amendments, and bridge design contract.
