City Council Wrap Up – 5.12.25
May 13, 2025
The City Council and Mayor met for the first meeting of the month on May 12 and the long debated and awaited decision about the proposed pickleball courts at the Tucker Recreation Center was addressed by the City Manager, John McHenry.
“After conducting due diligence, I have decided that the City of Tucker will reject all proposals and not award a contract in response to solicitation ITB 2024-017, titled TRC Pickleball Courts Construction at this time,” said McHenry. “The original bids are now over six months old and questions remain concerning the proposed contractor’s license. Should the City decide to move forward, the project will be rebid.”
The Mayor then presented three proclamations for various celebrations of city services:
- Professional Municipal Clerks Weeks: May 4-10, 2025
- Economic Development Week: May 11-17, 2025
- Public Works Week: May 18-24, 2025
The Council unanimously approved an ordinance to amend the city code to authorize bail bond agents to provide bonds for persons appearing in Municipal Court and a resolution to certify an estimated roll-back rate for 2025 ad valorem property tax as now required by state law. This resolution is not approval of a roll-back rate but certifies the estimate.
As required by the City Charter, the City Manager presented a balanced budget for a first read and public hearing for Fiscal Year 2026. The Mayor and Council are expected to take action on the budget during the first meeting of June.
The Council then adjourned to Executive Session and returned to adjourn the meeting without further action.
Tucker’s Mayor and City Council meet the second and fourth Monday of each month. Meetings are held at City Hall and streamed online at tuckerga.gov/agendas. Tucker City Hall is located at 1975 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 350, Tucker, Georgia 30084
