STONECREST, GA—The Stonecrest City Council will have a Special Called meeting today, April 17, 6 p.m.
The agenda lists four key action items: A decision for City Manager Appointment, Extension of the City Manager vacancy, Stonecrest Development Authority Appointments and Decision for Stonecrest Development Authority Intergovernmental Agreement.
According to information in the agenda packet, the Council will vote on extending the appointment of City Manager for an additional 30 days—making the appointment on or before May 17, 2023. Previously, the council had extended the 30-day period from March16, 2023 to April 17, 2023.
Mayor Jazzmin Cobble will make a presentation concerning the appointment of members to the Stonecrest Development Authority, which had previously operated independently of the city.
Among the highlights concerning the city’s proposed Inter-government Agreement (IGA) with the Stonecrest Development Authority: The power officially would be transferred to the city. The Authority would use City Hall for its meetings and operational purposes. The City would appoint one staff member to act as the Authority’s executive director and that person who would be responsible for all of the Authority’s minutes, records, contracts and other official documents, and for ensuring the Authority’s compliance with state laws and city ordinances. All utilization would be coordinated through and at the direction of the City Manager.
