The McDonough City Council voted at its May 6 regular meeting to approve an updated memorandum of understanding with the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. The vote was 4-1 in favor with two council members absent.

The council also approved three consent agenda items, including a $25,500 expenditure for work on the renovations of the building at 88 Keys Ferry Street which houses the city’s public safety departments, as well as a $20,500 allocation for the purchase of 100 new water meters with antennas and a resolution for the restatement of the city’s employee contribution plan. Those items were approved with a 7-0 vote.
