Peachtree City officials are set to approve key measures during their upcoming January 16 city council meeting, including preparations for the 2025 election cycle. The council discussed routine housekeeping items, which are mandated by state law to be finalized by February 1. Notably, the qualifying dates for candidates will be from August 18 to August 22, with voter registration closing on October 6.
In addition to election preparations, the council addressed the potential for future changes to the salaries of the mayor and council members. Any adjustments would require public hearings and would not take effect until after the next election cycle, ensuring that current officials remain unaffected by any salary changes made during their term.
A significant highlight of the meeting was the announcement of a generous $150,000 donation from an anonymous private citizen to the Peachtree City Aquatic Club. This funding will be directed towards the replacement of the Kedron Pool boiler, which had malfunctioned earlier in the year. The donation is crucial as the city currently relies on an older backup boiler while plans for a new installation are underway.
The council emphasized the importance of utilizing this donation effectively, ensuring that the funds are put to immediate use rather than remaining idle. This financial support not only aids in maintaining community recreational facilities but also reflects the strong support from local citizens for public amenities.
As Peachtree City moves forward with these initiatives, the council remains focused on enhancing community services and ensuring a smooth electoral process in the coming year.
