City Council Wrap Up – 8.25.26
August 25, 2026
The City of Tucker Mayor and Council met for the second meeting of the month last night. Leading the Pledge of Allegiance were representatives from the ARTucker event and this year’s winner of the middle school art contest, Oliver Weaver, pictured with his mother, Councilmember Alexis Weaver.
The work session had a light agenda but fostered much discussion. From DeKalb County School District, Interim Superintendent Dr. Norman Sauce III presented an update on the start of the school year and DCSD staff presented on the renewed Student Assignment effort. The Council was excited to learn that the student population in the overall Tucker Cluster is growing, illustrating people’s confidence in our cluster and our City. Public engagement opportunities for input on SAP for the Tucker Cluster starts in September. Please reference their website dekalbschoolsga.org/SAP for details and dates.
The Mayor took some time to highlight the partnership between the school district and the City. She, Council and City staff are often in the schools, educating on local government, partnering with students on STEM projects and establishing the inaugural year of the Mayor’s Book Club.
City staff then presented on the Lawrenceville Highway Improvements and streetscape standards, seeking feedback and guidance from the Mayor and Council on how they would like to see the City move forward with decisions on project scope and updates to our City Code.
Following the presentations and lively discussion, the Mayor and Council received the monthly financial report and upcoming agenda items.
Tucker’s Mayor and City Council meet on the second and fourth Mondays of the month at City Hall located at 1975 Lakeside Parkway. Meetings are livestreamed and recorded on the City’s YouTube channel found at youtube.com/cityoftucker.
