The Peachtree City Council convened on January 2, 2025, to address several key community matters, including the election of a new Mayor Pro Tem and the recognition of local achievements.

In a heartfelt moment, the council began the meeting with a moment of silence honoring former President Jimmy Carter, a notable Georgian who recently passed away. This gesture reflected the community's respect and remembrance for a leader who had significant ties to the state.

The council then moved to the election of the Mayor Pro Tem. Councilman Clint Holland was nominated and unanimously approved for the position. Holland expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and was sworn in, pledging to uphold his duties with integrity and dedication to the citizens of Peachtree City.

In addition to the leadership transition, the meeting featured a special recognition of local youth. Eagle Scout Brandon Douglas from Troop 175 presented his Eagle Scout project, which involved improvements to the nature trails at Summerbee Retirement Home. His initiative highlights the contributions of young residents to the community and the importance of civic engagement.

These discussions and recognitions during the council meeting underscore the city’s commitment to honoring its history, fostering leadership, and encouraging community involvement among its youth. As Peachtree City continues to grow, these values remain central to its identity and future development.
