Mondays with the Mayor: Recap of the July 9, 2026 Special Called Council Meeting

The Peachtree City, Georgia City Council held a special called meeting on July 9, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related topics were discussed. The Council awarded a contract to KB for an annexation study to analyze city borders and economic impacts, focusing on potential annexation areas primarily on the east and south sides of the city. Additionally, the Council engaged in an in-depth discussion about implementing a single hauler curbside trash collection model, which would be a mandatory city program, though no final decision was made. The meeting also included a public hearing on the proposed city budget, which holds the millage rate at 5.84 mills and allocates 47% of the budget to public safety, with 74% dedicated to police, fire, public works, and recreation services. The budget is scheduled for adoption on August 20, 2026, with public feedback encouraged.
