The proposed budget funds the addition of body cameras for police officers and a part-time court clerk. SPLOST funding with Gwinnett will pay for the new city hall/library project. SPLOST will also pay for a multi-use trail on Killian Hill Road, sidewalks in the Hillcrest area, and other trail and park enhancements.
