Honoring Local Youth: The TWLUM Teens Project

The meeting will kick off with community recognition as the Council considers a motion to approve a resolution honoring the TWLUM Teens Project. This resolution celebrates the hard work, positive contributions, and community impact made by the local youth involved in the project.

Managing Growth: Zoning Moratorium Extension

In a significant move for local development, Council members will vote on the first reading of an ordinance to extend a temporary moratorium on:

• The rezoning of any parcel.

• The subdivision of any parcel into more than three smaller parcels.

• The consideration of zoning variances within the City of Georgetown.

This temporary freeze is designed to give city planners and leadership the necessary time to evaluate and manage future growth sustainably.

Major Contract & Agreement Approvals

The Council has several key financial and operational agreements on the table to keep city operations running smoothly:

• Animal Services: A proposed $85,000 contract with St. Frances Animal Center for the fiscal year 2026/2027 budget.

• Janitorial Services: An annual agreement with Randolph Krazy Kleaning Services LLC totaling $124,259.00 for fiscal year 2027.

• Waste Management: A payment approval of $78,663.64 to Wrangler Holdco Company (DBA Waste Industries LLC / GFL Environmental) for commercial dumpster collections.

• Water Treatment Study: An engineering proposal with Ardurra for $737,550 to conduct a vital emerging contaminant pilot study targeting PFAS treatment at the City’s Water Treatment Plant.

Naming the New City Hall

In a historic and honoring gesture, the Council will consider a resolution to officially name the newly constructed City Hall. The proposed name is The Clarence C. Smalls City Hall, dedicated to celebrating the legacy and public service of Clarence C. Smalls.
