The Baldwin City Council will take up a slate of infrastructure, public safety and financial matters Tuesday night, September 9, including a first reading on the annexation and rezoning of property for a Buddhist temple and the first of three public hearings on the city’s 2025 millage rate.
The meeting, scheduled to follow a 6 p.m. work session at the Baldwin Police Training Facility on Willingham Avenue, also features several high-cost items on the consent agenda. Among them are $82,465 for a raw water pump rebuild, $22,490 for a Neptune 360 software upgrade, and $16,781.55 from public safety funds for two new police vehicles.
Council members will also consider contract approvals for probation services and an amendment with Bureau Veritas of North America, as well as an intergovernmental agreement with Banks County regarding local option sales tax proceeds.
In new business, the council will hear the first readings of annexation and zoning ordinances tied to the proposed Buddhist temple. Members will also vote on a meter installation project at PRV #5 on Old Highway 441 and a public works paving and fencing project. Animal control services for fiscal 2026 are also on the agenda.
Following reports from Public Works Director Scott Barnhart, the council will meet in executive session to discuss land acquisition and disposal.
