City Council Meeting 6:00 PM 09-28-2026

The Stonecrest City Council’s regular meeting on September 28, 2026, approved the city’s proposed fee schedule associated with the Matrix comprehensive user fee study by a 4–0 vote. Council discussed phased increases, the need to review fees periodically— the study recommended reevaluation every five to seven years—and tracking application and permit activity to assess fee impacts. The council also approved, 4–0, a cooperation agreement with the Stonecrest Lithonia Industrial Park CID, including provisions for coordination and updates; any city funding for CID projects would remain subject to council approval. The FY2027 budget review calendar was approved 4–0, with the budget itself scheduled for later presentation and consideration.

No contract award was made. The city manager reported that staff were reviewing three bids to improve technology in the council chambers and testing a project and contract-tracking system before deciding whether to proceed with a contract. Updates also referenced street resurfacing, sidewalk design, recreation-center construction, and park improvements, but no related purchasing approvals or dollar amounts were stated. Public comments raised concerns about alleged missing city funds, property enforcement, and neighborhood conditions; the transcript did not record a procurement action in response.
