Loganville meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Loganville boards take up downtown parking, legal services and a Jacobs Ln permit; no votes on record yet

Loganville's Downtown Development Authority, City Council and Planning Commission each met over the past two weeks, taking up downtown parking, legal services and a special use permit request on Jacobs Ln. Agendas for all three meetings have been published, but minutes have not, so no decisions, votes or outcomes are on record for any of them. What follows is what each body listed for discussion.

Downtown parking and 254 Main

The Downtown Development Authority met Oct. 15. Its agenda listed an update on 254 Main and a discussion of downtown parking at that location. The same agenda listed planning for the Toddler Park ribbon cutting, the Main Street Businesses Christmas Party, and the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.

The agenda does not state what the 254 Main update concerns beyond parking, and no minutes have been published. No action by the authority is recorded.

Legal services RFPs

The City Council held a called meeting Oct. 19. The single substantive agenda item was "Discussion regarding RFPs for legal services." The remainder of the agenda consisted of procedural items, according to the meeting record.

No request for proposals document, contract, vendor name or dollar amount appears in the material available. No minutes have been published, so whether the council took any action on legal services is not established by the record.

Jacobs Ln special use permit

The Planning Commission met Oct. 22 to consider Case# SU26-009, a special use permit request for 145 Jacobs Ln. According to the agenda, the applicant seeks to establish a Georgia-licensed Community Living Arrangement for up to four adults with development disabilities.

The agenda lists the case for consideration but does not include a staff recommendation or a proposed condition. No minutes have been published, so no recommendation or vote by the commission is recorded.

What the record does not show

For all three meetings, the available documents are agendas only. That means the roundup cannot report what was approved, denied, tabled or continued, how any member voted, or what any member said. Those details would appear in minutes, which had not been published as of Oct. 26. The absence of minutes is not an indication that no action was taken.

Coming up

Oct. 27 — Called Public Meeting, City Council. The council will hear a public presentation from TPUDC on the rewrite and update of the Zoning Ordinance. The zoning ordinance governs what can be built and how property can be used across the city, so residents who want to follow the rewrite may want to attend. The listed agenda contains the presentation only; no vote is listed.

Residents can check the city's published agenda and minutes page for the official documents from each meeting, including minutes for the Oct. 15, Oct. 19 and Oct. 22 meetings once they are posted.

Loganville extends building-application moratorium to 2027, sets millage rate and approves $370K-plus in purchases

Loganville City Council voted 6-0 on Oct. 5 to extend the city's moratorium on all rezone and annexation applications until March 31, 2027, a step the city says is meant to allow time for updates to the Zoning Ordinance. The same work session produced a set of spending approvals, a City Manager search contract and the 2026 millage rate, according to official minutes.

Development applications on hold until March 2027

The 6-0 vote keeps the temporary pause on rezone and annexation applications in place through the end of March 2027. The stated purpose is to give the city time to complete Zoning Ordinance updates. A separate public presentation on that rewrite is scheduled for later this month (see Coming up).

2026 millage rate approved

Council approved the 2026 millage rate 6-0: 7.6400 mills for the Gwinnett County portion and 9.5081 net mills for the Walton County portion. A mill is a property-tax unit equal to $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value.

Firm hired to recruit a City Manager

Council voted 6-0 to approve a professional agreement with Mercer Group Associates for the City Manager search, with a cost not to exceed $22,900.

Culvert, trucks, security and police renovation spending

All approved 6-0:

• A physical security upgrade, not to exceed $102,000.
• A $69,144.75 quote from North Creek Contractors for Twin Lakes Road culvert replacement.
• Three trucks for Water, Sewer & Water Quality Control, at $197,159.92.
• A $792.02 change order for Police Department renovations.

Hwy 78 safety project moves forward, 5-1

Oct. 8 council agenda: grant and contracts, no minutes yet

A City Council meeting was listed for Oct. 8 with items including acceptance of a 2026 Community Development Block Grant of $588,400; Tyler Technologies hosting and maintenance agreements for $96,943.97; a Code Enforcement vehicle purchase for $51,700.00; an emergency submersible pump rebuild for $25,350.00; and body cameras, Tasers and devices for $20,347.56. Minutes for that meeting have not been published, so whether any of these items were acted on, and by what vote, is not established in the records reviewed here.

Downtown Development Authority: parking and 254 Main

The Downtown Development Authority met Oct. 15 with an agenda listing an update on 254 Main, discussion of using that location for downtown parking, and planning for the Toddler Park ribbon cutting, a Main Street Businesses Christmas Party, and the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting. Minutes have not been published, so no decisions are confirmed.

Coming up

• **Oct. 19 — Called City Council Meeting.** Discussion of Requests for Proposals for legal services. The rest of the agenda is procedural.
• **Oct. 22 — Planning Commission Meeting.** Case# SU26-009: a special use permit request for 145 Jacobs Ln to establish a Georgia-licensed Community Living Arrangement for up to four adults with developmental disabilities.
• **Oct. 27 — Called Public Meeting.** A public presentation from TPUDC on the Zoning Ordinance Rewrite & Update — the item tied to the moratorium extended Oct. 5.

All three meetings are open to the public. Agendas and, once published, minutes are available from the city.

Loganville DDA considers request to issue RFQ for 254 Main Street

The Loganville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) on June 25 considered a request to issue a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for 254 Main Street, according to the meeting agenda. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so no decision has been confirmed.

The single item listed for the meeting was a request for approval to issue the RFQ, a step typically used to solicit qualifications from potential developers or contractors. The agenda also included routine items such as call to order, roll call, adoption of the agenda, approval of minutes, and public comment.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings for Loganville government bodies are scheduled in the next two weeks as of July 5.
