The $46,000 cost will be funded by the city’s SPLOST account. The council also approved a resolution authorizing transmittal of the update report for 2019 to the city’s capital improvements element, related to the city’s impact fee program, to the Atlanta Regional Commission for regional and state review. The votes on both of these actions were unanimous.
