Council heard that the city’s trash and recycling contractor serves about 4,300 homes and 225 businesses, and that residents will soon be able to put glass into their existing recycling containers. Staff also said only about 38% of residents currently recycle, so the city is looking at ways to increase participation. Council also discussed several property and finance items, including transferring title for parts of 57 Railroad Avenue back to the city and investing up to $4 million of SPLOST money in Georgia Fund 1 until it is needed for projects. The biggest debate was over buying 4844 Lawrenceville Highway as a gateway property; supporters said it could help shape future development, while one councilmember raised concerns about reserves, building condition, and whether a formal appraisal was done.
