The Roswell City Council held a regular meeting on September 28, 2026, with key discussions centered on the proposed adoption of a 5.90 millage rate for the 2026 tax year. The council reviewed detailed financial presentations explaining the millage rate components, including general fund operating, capital improvements, and debt service related to voter-approved bonds. Public comments were extensive, with many residents opposing the tax increase citing the city's substantial reserves and urging fiscal restraint, while others supported the increase to maintain city services and address deferred maintenance. Council members debated the timing and necessity of the increase, emphasizing the need for a transparent budget process and long-term financial planning. Additionally, the council unanimously approved ordinances related to sign regulations, business license enforcement, water utility theft penalties, and adopted an intergovernmental agreement for service delivery strategy with Fulton County and other cities. The meeting concluded with motions passed on personnel and real estate matters, and the council acknowledged the importance of balancing tax rates with service levels and infrastructure needs.
