The Summerville City Council will hold its regular monthly meeting this evening at 5:00 p.m. at City Hall, with a full agenda that includes budget matters, equipment purchases, appointments, and several community-related requests. (See complete agenda below).

One of the main items before council members will be the second reading and possible adoption of the Fiscal Year 2025–2026 mid-year budget ordinance. A public hearing is also scheduled as part of that process before the council discusses the measure and takes possible action.

Council members are also expected to consider awarding a bid for a Caterpillar backhoe, along with approving five part-time summer internship positions. Another item on the agenda involves accepting the resignation of Dan Mosteller from the Sara Hightower Regional Library board and appointing Maisha Ludy to fill the unexpired term.

Several request items are also set for discussion, including a mobile home request for 92 Hill Avenue and sign requests for 76 Georgia Avenue and 35 East Washington Street.

In addition, the council will consider a request connected to Bicycle Ride Across Georgia, or BRAG, to allow participants to camp at the Summerville Recreation Center and serve alcohol to members on Sunday, May 31.

Another topic likely to draw interest is a discussion on the ability of customers to opt out of garbage service, an issue that could affect city residents directly.

The meeting will also include the mayor’s comments, approval of the agenda, consent agenda items, department head reports, public comments, and adjournment.
