Summary
Council approved a service delivery strategy form for submission to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs to confirm coordination of water and wastewater services with Forsyth County; staff said the agreement does not change service areas but notes the county plans to use insurance premium tax revenue for those services.
The Cumming Mayor and Council unanimously approved a service delivery strategy form to submit to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs that documents coordination with Forsyth County on water and wastewater services.
City staff member Kevin said the form simply formalizes existing arrangements between the city and county and does not change service areas, the amount of water the city sells to the county, raw water sales, or wastewater capacity agreements. Kevin told the council the county intends to use insurance premium tax revenue as part of how it pays for water and wastewater services.
Kevin said the service delivery strategy is intended to avoid duplication of services between the two governments and that it would not affect current operational arrangements. A council motion to approve the strategy form carried 4‑0.
Context: Service delivery strategy agreements are submitted to the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and are routine when intergovernmental service provision and revenue mechanisms are clarified.
