September 15, 2026 City Council Work Session and Regular Meetings

The City of Sandy Springs held a City Council Work Session and Regular Meeting on September 15, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a 90-day extension to the existing landscaping services contract with Rupert Landscape LLC, valued at approximately $53,000, to allow time for a new competitive RFP process and contract award anticipated by November. Additionally, the council approved the 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) consolidated annual performance and evaluation report, highlighting ongoing infrastructure projects such as sidewalk improvements funded through approximately $10 million in CDBG funds. The meeting also featured public hearings on a special event permit appeal for Holy Innocence Episcopal School's request to hold a lighted homecoming football game, which was ultimately denied due to zoning restrictions, and a revocation of the business occupational tax certificate for Neptune General LLC (Nubia Cafe and Restaurant) due to violations related to unlicensed alcohol sales and public safety concerns. The council emphasized the importance of public engagement in planning processes and discussed upcoming transportation funding opportunities. No new contract awards beyond the landscaping extension were made during this meeting.
