Lawrenceville Sets July 8 Vote on FY2027 Millage Rate; Recent Agendas Feature Budget, Speed Cameras
Lawrenceville’s City Council will hold a public hearing and vote on the proposed Fiscal Year 2027 millage rate at a special called meeting on July 8, according to published agendas. That decision will set the property tax rate for the upcoming year. Meanwhile, agendas for three recent meetings – the City Council regular meeting, the ReCAST Advisory Board, and the Development Authority – listed a range of items from a nearly $[not provided] budget resolution to speed cameras and a land deal, though official minutes have not yet been released for any of those sessions.
FY2027 Budget and Speed Camera Contract on Council Agenda
At its June 22 regular meeting, the City Council’s agenda included adoption of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Resolution (Item 11) and a vote on a contract with Blue Line Solutions for automated speed enforcement cameras with Flock Safety in school zones (Item 10). No vote totals or outcome are available because minutes have not been published. Other items listed for the same meeting:
- A joint easement and use agreement with Jackson EMC (Item 7)
- An intergovernmental agreement with the Downtown Development Authority for Central Block economic incentives (Item 13)
- A public hearing on BFR2026-0002, a request by Charles C. Chang related to 351 West Pike Street (Item 8)
- Routine recognitions and consent agenda items
Because only the agenda is public, whether any of these measures passed remains unknown.
ReCAST Board Hears Partner Updates
The ReCAST Advisory Board met on June 24. Its agenda shows only procedural steps – approval of the agenda and prior meeting minutes – followed by partner updates from the Georgia Center for Opportunity, Impact46, and a general ReCAST program update. The board also received public comments. No binding votes or financial decisions appeared on the schedule.
Development Authority Discusses Tax Parcel Agreements
A June 25 special call of the Development Authority listed three substantive items: approval of the January 27, 2026 annual meeting minutes, an intergovernmental agreement with the City of Lawrenceville, and a letter of intent with 12 Brothers Venture Capital, LLC. Both agreements concern three Gwinnett County tax parcels: R5144 023A, R5144 030, and R5144 027. No further details, such as sale price or development plans, are included in the agenda. Official minutes are not yet available.
Millage Rate Vote Scheduled for July 8 Special Call
The City Council will convene a special called public hearing at 7 p.m. on July 8 to hear comment on the proposed FY2027 millage rate and then vote on its adoption. The published rules limit discussion to 7 minutes per side, including rebuttal. This is the only item on that meeting’s agenda and represents the most immediate financial decision facing city officials.
Other City Council Items on July 8 Work Session
Before the millage rate hearing, the council will hold a work session the same day. Agenda highlights include:
- A zoning ordinance amendment to change minimum lot area standards in the RM-8 Townhouse Residential District (Section 102.7 Subsection B)
- Annexation and rezoning request (ANNX2026-00002 / RZM2026-00006 / SUP2026-00006) for Owen Herbert at 0 Sugarloaf Parkway
- Rezoning request (RZM2026-00004) for JCT Construction Group c/o LJA Engineering at 737 Grayson Highway
- A cooperative purchasing contract – CINTAS Omnia Agreement 211092607

No public comment is allowed at the work session unless requested by the Mayor and Council.
