Meeting discussionsStart with a topic.

A. COW2026-030 Review of the May 4, 2026 Mayor and Council Meeting Agenda ATH2026-056: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, stated that this is a request based on the need for city staff to install the newly purchased traffic bollards around the green space area in three different locations. Two locations along King Street and one location on Village Green Circle. The requested length of the closure – 10 days – is based on the required design specifications from the manufacturer. ATH2026-058: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, stated that this contract modification is based on a request to add six additional city roads to be milled and overlayed due to additional funds acquired from FY 2026 LMIG supplemental funding from GDOT. While C.W. Matthews was previously awarded RFQ-26-014 they are still currently the city’s paving contractor. It will be beneficial to utilize their contract pricing to perform the additional work. The previous contract amount was $4,094,504.67 the additional amount is $966,769.78 to bring the new total in an amount not to exceed $5,061,274.45. CNV2026-005: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, stated this is based on a citizen request that has a segment of land behind their property located at 1565 Roswell Street SE. The property owner has requested the City of Smyrna deed ownership of that segment to the individual owner since the city has no use or plans of utilization for the old alley way segment. PH2026-021: Paul Osburn, Interim Public Works Director, explained that he has not received everything needed to move forward with this yet, and if he does not receive those documents tomorrow, this will be removed from the agenda. This allows for use of towers to be able to use the new water meters reading system. More information will be provided later.

6. Other Business / Staff Comment Mike Jones, City Administrator, stated the City had a very successful Jonquil Festival this past weekend. The Smyrna Public Safety Foundation held their annual golf tournament on Monday, and they raised $30,000 for the foundation. He also stated that he and Christy Ullman met with the Jonquil Garden Club today. They are going to start work mid-May and do something the city can be proud of on the Veterans Memorial grounds Councilmember Lindley stated that the park dedication for Dr. David Martin was a great success. Kristin Robinson, Deputy City Administrator / CFO, handed out the budget books. She explained that they usually present the budget information tonight, but she said they can review the budget book first, compile questions, and they will present and answer questions next time. Councilmember Oglesby stated that the arrival time for the splash pad opening is 3:30 tomorrow. May is 31 Days of Jazz for the Atlanta Metro area. Cobb County is represented at two venues including his restaurant. Councilmember Pickens said Rebuilding Together Atlanta has a home they are working on tomorrow. Police and Fire will be there, and he invited all to come out and participate. The homeowner may or may not be there. The Jonquil Jog takes place this weekend rain or shine. Mayor Pro Tem Gould said they had an Education Town Hall last night with two school board members. Councilmember Wilkinson mentioned that the wife of a former employee reached out to see if a commemorative bench could be installed to honor him at Brawner Hall. Mike Jones stated that in order to dedicate something like that, the person needs to have a definitive connection to the City of Smyrna, and it needs to be sponsored by a council member. She also discussed the arboretum and how it was a way to get trees around Brawner, around the pond and downtown.

She asked if it would be a good idea to do an arboretum on Windy Hill. It was recommended she speak to Julie Barwig and Russell Martin. Councilmember Welch stated he will not be present on Monday for the council meeting. Paul Osburn brought up the Mableton signs in the City of Smyrna’s rights-of-way. He is ready to remove the signs, but he wants to make sure Mayor and Council are okay with it. City Attorney Scott Cochran said it would be better to do so once someone has spoken to the elected officials of Mableton. Heather Peacon-Corn discussed Advanced Voting at the Baptist Church which will also be going during the Jonquil Jog with street closures. She has worked with staff and Cobb County Elections to ensure people are able to access the building to vote. 7. Executive Session (As Needed)

A. Max Bacon City Hall ADMIN CONFERENCE ROOM 2800 King Street Smyrna, Ga. 30080 City Attorney Scott Cochran City Administrator Mike L. Jones Deputy City Administrator / CFO Kristin Robinson City Clerk Heather K. Peacon-Corn April 20, 2026 / 6:30 PM ATH2026-055: Kristin Robinson, Deputy City Administrator / CFO, provided the following background: HB 581, also known as the "Save Our Homes Act" in Georgia, was approved and signed into law during the 2024 Regular Session and is a bill that aimed to provide property tax relief to homeowners by implementing a statewide homestead exemption. The City opted out of HB 581 because the City’s current floating homestead exemption was more advantageous to the taxpayer. All required hearings were held in 2025 and the opt out was filed by the deadline. A provision of this bill was that the local governments had to provide an estimated rollback rate to the County Tax Commissioner to be placed on tax assessment notices. Finance and Administration, in consultation with legal, provided the anticipated millage rate of 8.99 mills to the County to be included on assessment notices. During the 2025 Regular Session, HB 92 made several modifications to the previously HB 581 to clarify several key areas. One of those was to require a formal vote by the governing authority to certify the Estimated Rollback Rate for the tax assessment notices. This item will provide the formal certification as required. ATH2026-049: Kristin Robinson, Deputy City Administrator / CFO, provided the following background: The City maintains property and liability insurance with an annual coverage period of May 1, 2026– April 30, 2027. Rates are based on a look back of past claims, losses, and liability exposure. For the 2026-2027 renewal, we are recommending removing Auto Property Damage (Comp/Collision) from autos except those that are 2016 or newer or with a cost new value of $50,000 or greater. Additionally, we are recommending applying a $5,000 deductible to all auto property damage. Rather than the current deductible structure of $2,500 for regular units and $5,000 for emergency units. These changes result in estimated savings of roughly $42,000 compared to the expiring term. This proposal also includes Umbrella coverage for $1,000,000. Some contracts require the City to maintain these excess limits for the agreement to remain valid. Staff recommends approval to renew the property liability insurance with Traveler’s Insurance, Cyber Liability with Corvus, Drone Liability with Global Aerospace, and Inmate Medical Liability with Sirius America, with Oakbridge/Saville as the brokers of record in the amount of $1,332,564.64 and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute all related documents.

Russell Martin, Community Development Director, updated Mayor and Council on who they selected for the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee. He thanked them for their recommendations. They will be at the Jonquil Festival with a consultant with macrolevel discussion topics and visuals. At the end of May, there will be stakeholder meetings that do not include the steering committee. 5. Executive Session (As Needed)
