The Tucker City Council met for the second meeting of the month on October 27, 2025 with a full quorum for a light agenda.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, led by BSA Troop 2115, the Mayor presented the City Code Enforcement Division staff with a proclamation celebrating October as National Code Enforcement Month.

Before unanimously approving the consent agenda, the Council voted 7-0 to add an agenda item to New Business: Item I.2, Contract C2025-DC-CDBG-ADA-EQUIP-PO26-1889 for the purchase and installation of ADA Playground Equipment at Fitzgerald Park.

Staff reports included the September financials from the Finance Director, upcoming agenda items from the City Manager and a staff update on downtown parking, both current opportunities and possible additions in the future.

The Mayor and Council then heard a first read and public hearing of an ordinance for a rezoning to allow for townhomes and concurrent variances to garages, parking and setback regulations at 4372 Chamblee Tucker Road. This was followed by the added item from the start of the meeting. The Council voted unanimously for construction of an ADA playground in the Fitzgerald Park Sports Complex. This project is fully funded by a DeKalb County Community Development Block Grant.

The Mayor and Council recessed to executive session as required for personnel, real estate and litigation. They returned to vote to approve the purchase of property for $1.925 million for the use of the Public Works Department.
