Meeting discussionsStart with a topic.

The updated fee schedule reflects current Cobb County rates. To align with the fiscal year, the contract term is to be extended through June 30, 2027. ATH2026-075: Dat Luu, IT Director, stated as part of the City's renovation and build-out of the new administrative office space located at 1088 Concord Road SE, Smyrna, Georgia 30080 (formerly known as the Georgia Power Building), technology infrastructure improvements are necessary to support the relocation of the Human Resources, Information Technology, and Utility Billing Departments. These improvements will provide the technology, security, and communications systems required to support daily operations, protect City assets, and enhance customer service delivery. NetPlanner Systems, Inc. has submitted a proposal to furnish and install low-voltage cabling, access control systems, security cameras, and audio/video equipment throughout the facility. The proposed project will provide network connectivity, physical security measures, and meeting room technology necessary for staff to effectively operate from the new location. ATH2026-087: Mike Jones, City Administrator, stated that on November 17, 2025, Mayor and Council voted to approve closing King Street between Bank Street and Powder Springs Street indefinitely effective November 21, 2025 between the hours of 3:00PM Fridays - 6:00PM Sundays to allow pedestrian traffic during peak hours of use at the Village Green Space. In anticipation of the World Cup FIFA event called Cup Daze, Public Works and Parks and Recreation are requesting 24 hour a day closure from June 11, 2026 – July 19, 2026 for pedestrians to be able to navigate safely the event areas on the Village Green Space. Councilmember Wilkinson expressed concern about the handicapped parking access within the area that is closed off, and she mentioned that parking at the library has been an issue. Mr. Jones stated that there are only two spaces that are affected.

4. Formal Business and Presentations

A. COW2026-034 Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority Presentation - Cole Blackwell, General Manager Cole Blackwell, General Manager of the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority presented the following: • The Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA) is an independent political subdivision of the state of Georgia, created by the Georgia General Assembly in 1951 for the purpose of providing wholesale drinking water to the region. • CCMWA currently serves 11 wholesale customers who serve a population of around 1,000,000 people across a six-county area. (Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow, Douglas, Fulton, and Paulding) • Cobb County Water System is CCMWA’s largest customer, and the Marietta Board of Lights & Water is the second largest. • CCMWA is the largest wholesale provider of drinking water in the state with average daily demand of 76.5 MGD in 2025. • CCMWA receives no direct tax revenue. The only operational revenue CCMWA receives is from water sales and laboratory services. Water Quality Water quality is of utmost importance - • We know taste and odor issues, PFAS, lead, copper, and emerging contaminants are of particular concern to those we serve. • In September 2025, levels of the taste- and odor-causing compound Methyl- Isoborneol (MIB), which is produced by certain types of algae, increased dramatically in the Chattahoochee River, exceeding 135 parts per trillion (ppt), more than 700% above the previous record high. o MIB does not pose a health threat, but it does cause unpleasant taste and odor at levels as low as 10 ppt. o Currently, the Authority’s Quarles WTP can remove MIB at concentrations up to ~45 ppt using powdered activated carbon. o The Authority is conducting a study of advanced treatment options in 2026 to determine the best path forward for addressing future increases in MIB levels. • In 2025, the Authority continued proactively testing for PFAS. o Source water samples and finished water samples taken from the Authority’s drinking water treatment plants were all below United States Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant levels.

_______________________________________________________________________ • In January 2024, after six years of corrosion-control optimization study, the Authority began using orthophosphate in its drinking water for corrosion control. o Testing throughout 2024 and 2025 has found that lead and copper leaching from consumer on-premises plumbing remains well below regulatory limits. _______________________________________________________________________ • The Authority is acutely aware of public concern related to fluoridation of drinking water. o Currently, Georgia state law and EPA guidelines require the Authority to add fluoride to the water supply (.70 ppm) to enhance public health, specifically for preventing tooth decay. • Plastics have become pervasive in modern life, raising concerns about their potential to harm humans and the environment. • Microplastics are generally recognized as plastic particles ranging in size from 5 millimeters (about the size of a pencil eraser) to 1 nanometer. For comparison, a strand of human hair is about 80,000 nanometers wide. o Earlier this year, the Authority proactively tested for microplastics in its finished drinking water from both water treatment plants. No microplastics were found. • The Authority is required by the Safe Drinking Water Act to sample for radionuclides in drinking water sourced from the Chattahoochee River every 6 years and from Allatoona Lake every 9 years. o In 2025, samples were taken from drinking water sourced from the Chattahoochee River as required but were lost in shipment by FedEx to the laboratory in Pennsylvania, resulting in a “sampling violation”. o Earlier this year, the Authority resampled drinking water sourced from the Chattahoochee River. Levels of radionuclides were well below maximum contaminant levels. Water Supply • The Authority maintains surface water withdrawal permits for 173 million gallons per day of water supply and maintains 173 million gallons per day of permitted treatment capacity. • To support drought contingency and water supply resiliency, the Authority owns 4.3 billion gallons of source water storage in Hickory Log Creek Reservoir and approximately 4.1 billion gallons of source water storage in Allatoona Lake.

• The Authority’s average daily demand in 2025 was about 76.5 million gallons per day, and the maximum daily demand was about 104 million gallons per day. o 53% of average-day demand capacity utilization o 60% of maximum-day demand capacity utilization o The Authority currently forecasts sufficient water supply and treatment capacity for service area growth through 2060, without the need for treatment plant or water supply expansion. Infrastructure Sustainability • In 2025, the Authority invested over $85 million in infrastructure improvements and plans to invest $84 million in 2026. o 44,500 linear feet of aged transmission pipe were replaced in 2025, representing about 4.4% of the transmission system's pipe. o The Authority replaced multiple critical transmission system valves and conducted in-situ inspections on miles of transmission pipelines. o Thirty (30) water treatment plant upgrade projects were executed to maintain or increase resiliency and sustainability. o Through quality long-term planning and execution of the capital improvement program, the Authority is securing a sustainable and reliable water system for its customers and stakeholders. City of Smyrna • In 2025, CCMWA supplied the City of Smyrna with an average of 4.09 MGD and a maximum monthly average daily demand of 4.52 MGD. • There are 22 total meters that surround the City of Smyrna. o Over the past two years, five aging meters have been replaced with advanced ultrasonic meters. o One additional meter will be replaced on South Cobb Drive in 2026. • City of Smyrna staff have access to Beacon Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) software platform that allows them to monitor water flow into Smyrna on a daily basis. • CCMWA also monitors the flows daily and routinely alerts the City of Smyrna to anomalies, helping to proactively identify and respond to potential main breaks. Level of Service Goals • 2012 – CCMWA developed design guidelines focused on how to size transmission pipelines in the master plan for growth in water demand over next 30 years with only general customer input.

• 2022 – CCMWA’s Strategic Plan included an initiative for stakeholder and customer engagement, with a specific action item to develop LOSGs with input from customers. • 2024 – CCMWA began a project to develop LOSGs while emphasizing customer involvement. • 2025 – LOSGs finalized that include the following: Water Supply; Water Quality; Transmission System Capabilities; Redundancy & Reliability; Integrated Planning; Communications & Outreach Rate Projections • CCMWA’s current sole source rate is $3.67 per thousand and $4.05 per thousand for legacy non-sole source contracts. • Over the last ten years, CCMWA has had an annual average rate increase of 2.8% while according to the Bureau of Labor & Statistics inflation averaged 3.5%. • Effective January 1, 2026, the Authority implemented a 5% rate increase and gave rate increase guidance of a planned 5% rate increase effective January 1, 2027. _______________________________________________________________________ 2026 AWWA Infrastructure and Affordability Report “The water sector has entered a new cost era.” • Drinking water utilities are no longer facing just an asset-replacement challenge. They are confronting a compounding set of cost drivers: o Regulatory compliance o Climate resilience / Degrading Source Waters o Cybersecurity o Higher than expected construction cost increases • Across the United States over the next 25 years (2026–2050), total drinking water infrastructure needs are projected at $2.1–$2.4 trillion in 2025 dollars, far exceeding earlier estimates tied solely to buried infrastructure. • These pressures signal a structural shift in the cost of providing safe drinking water, not a temporary spike. _______________________________________________________________________ • In 2020, CCMWA’s Capital Improvement Plan budget for the years 2026 through 2035 (ten years) was $748 million. • Currently, CCMWA’s Capital Improvement Plan budget for the years 2026 through 2035 is $1.17 billion. • That’s an increase of 56.7% or $422 million due to inflation in excess of the annual 4% expectation. • Some infrastructure projects that have been bid since 2021 were double their 2020 cost estimates. • From December 2020 to December 2025, operational costs increased 32.90%. That’s an average annual inflation rate of 5.85%.

5. Review of Current M&C Agenda

A. COW2026-052 Review of the June 15, 2026 Mayor and Council Meeting Notice and Agenda Mayor Pro Tem Tim Gould reviewed the June 15, 2026 Mayor and Council agenda. ATH2026-081: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, stated this request is necessary due to the existing infrastructure on the property that never had proper easements granted during the installation of the infrastructure. This will allow the City of Smyrna to be able to access and maintain its water meter and necessary infrastructure that is located off the right-of-way. ATH2026-083: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, stated this request is based on the critical need for the development of a comprehensive citywide Stormwater Master Plan. The effort will include multiple sub-watershed evaluations identified by the City of Smyrna and its engineering consultants as necessary components of the overall master planning process. The completion of these sub-watershed studies will provide the data, analysis, and recommendations needed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the City's stormwater infrastructure, drainage systems, and flood-prone areas. The resulting Stormwater Master Plan will serve as a strategic tool for prioritizing capital improvements, identifying infrastructure deficiencies, and establishing a long-term framework for stormwater management. By developing this plan, the City will be better equipped to effectively plan, budget, and implement projects necessary to address nuisance flooding, improve drainage performance, enhance public safety, and increase the resilience of the community to future stormwater impacts. The first phase is about a seven-month process. Lisa Wells from Ardurra presented the following: Citywide Stormwater Master Plan The Goals • Understand full extent of assets • Quantify flooding issues • Develop Solutions • Establish Capital & Operational Plans Nickajack Basin Pilot Watershed Study • Establish Standardized Approach • Complete inventory • Identify Projects & Maintenance Opportunities • Prioritize projects The Process • Survey & Stream Walks • Hydraulic Modeling • Criticality Assessment • Develop O&M strategies and project solutions The Outcomes • Updated Stormwater Map • Identified Maintenance Opportunities • Prioritized Capital Improvement Projects • Strategic Plan for Funding Opportunities • Standard Operating Procedures Document Councilmember Welch asked about an estimated cost.

Mr. Osburn said at this point, it is estimated at $7.5M. ATH2026-079: Kristin Robinson, Deputy City Administrator / CFO, stated that this is standard for every SPLOST. Approval of 2028 SPLOST will go before the voters in November 2026. The County Commission will vote to authorize the referendum in the coming weeks. Prior to voting to authorize a referendum, it is required to have all IGAs with participating governments in place. The agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and Staff recommends approval. The Official Code of Georgia Annotated 48-8- 110 authorizes the levy of a one percent County Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) for the purpose of financing capital outlay projects for the use and benefit of the County and qualified municipalities within the County. The County and the City have met to discuss possible projects for inclusion in the SPLOST referendum. ATH2026-028 and ATH2026-030: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, explained that the scope of work provided by the Program Management Task Order will be as outlined in the Professional Services Agreement for Smyrna 2022 SPLOST Program Management Services. This work will be completed as an hourly not to exceed fee project. Invoicing will be progressive and will be submitted monthly for work completed to date less previous payments. The ATH2026-028 proposal incorporates, as if fully set forth herein, the terms and conditions of the Professional Services Agreement for Smyrna 2022 SPLOST Program Management Services dated June 7, 2021, between Croy Engineering, LLC and the City of Smyrna. The ATH2028-030 proposal incorporates, as if fully set forth herein, the terms and conditions of the Professional Services Agreement for Smyrna 2016 SPLOST Program Management Services dated August 3, 2015, between Croy Engineering, LLC and the City of Smyrna.

6. Other Business / Staff Comment Kash Trivedi and Teri Anulewicz, Smyrna’s contract lobbyists, provided the council with the year’s updates including: • Property Taxes – SB 33 • Redistricting • Removing QR codes for ballot counting – they have had two years to find a solution and still have not • School cameras – The Georgia Senate recently passed a bill with a 49-1 vote that addresses the use of automated speed cameras in school zones. If the legislation becomes law, it would allow voters to decide whether they want the cameras to remain in their specific school districts. Additionally, the bill includes a provision to eliminate these automated traffic zones entirely by 2028. These cameras have cited thousands of drivers and generated significant revenue for municipalities and the private companies that operate them. Councilmember Rickey N. Oglesby Jr. – The Juneteenth event is this Friday. There will be VIP tables and tastings. There will be great music, and great food, kid zones, crafts, dancing, etc. Councilmember Glenn Pickens – Rebuilding Together Atlanta worked on a house this morning. They worked on the outside and will be adding a chair lift. Councilmember Travis Lindley – Thanked all who came out for the service this past Sunday at the church. Councilmember Latonia P. Hines – Thanked Parks & Recreation team for the FIFA Juggling event and the concert. The concert had an estimated 3,700 people in attendance. 7. Executive Session (As Needed)
