Proposed amendments to city policies concerning employee concerns, disciplinary actions and terminations are also listed.
Council members will consider several sign requests along with a Georgia Environmental Finance Authority resolution concerning a loan modification.

Here is the complete agenda for the meeting:
The Summerville City Council will meet tomorrow evening for its regular called meeting, with several personnel, public safety and infrastructure matters on the agenda.
The City of Summerville has approved a balanced budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year that includes no increases to property taxes or utility base rates.
The Summerville City Council has approved joining other Georgia municipalities in supporting legal efforts aimed at protecting sovereign immunity protections for cities across the state.
During a recent meeting, council members authorized Mayor Ricky Hughes to sign a resolution allowing Summerville to participate in an amicus court brief in the case of Georgia Municipal Association vs. Olivia Adams. The case continues through the Georgia court system and could have major implications for municipalities statewide.
According to discussion presented to the council, the case involves a motor vehicle collision in Milton, Georgia. Court proceedings have centered on whether sovereign immunity protections apply in certain personal injury claims involving municipal employees.
Supporters of the effort argue that weakening sovereign immunity protections could expose cities to increased lawsuits and financial liability. City officials said the issue carries statewide importance and could affect how local governments operate in the future.
Summerville joins a growing number of Georgia cities participating in the legal challenge.
