Flowery Branch’s City Council is set to take up several items Thursday, including an intergovernmental agreement with Hall County and several resolutions dealing with planning, development and the city’s property tax rate. In addition, to a tax rate public hearing during the 6:00 meeting, there will be a hearing that morning at 9:00 and 6:00 August 20.
The council will also consider an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Thursday with Hall County for the maintenance of Hog Mountain Road.
Other items include a change order to the city’s contract with Sol Construction for the Groundwater Wells 4 and 5 reactivation project and awarding a contract to Civil Construction & Utilities for the Cove Creek Drive and Spring Street sewer main replacement project.
Council members will also review a memorandum of agreement for the Hog Mountain Road and Falcon Parkway stormwater improvement projects.
Three ordinances are scheduled for first reading:
• Ordinance 788, which updates the municipal code to reflect the city’s transition from paper‑based planning and development processes to a fully digital system
• Ordinance 789, which aligns city code with new state‑mandated requirements governing plan review procedures, timelines and standardized definitions
• Ordinance 790, which establishes the millage rate for the 2026 tax year and the 2027 fiscal year
