The council decided to wait on the measure for one month.
Aside from the swearing-in ceremonies for the councilmen and police officers, the city council agenda for the January meeting was fairly slim. The consent agenda started with only two items, but one was axed: The Petco 5k Dogs-in-the-Park special use permit item was no longer applicable to Norcross because the organization chose another city for the event. The other item, to approve or deny a contract to start construction on the City Hall Wingo Street Parking Lot Project, was turned into a discussion item that ended up being tabled for one month. Originally passed by the council in October, the parking project proposes to reconstruct city hall's current six-space lot into 18 spaces. The council debated for months on the topic, with …

Norcross' city hall rotunda and police department lobby are getting an update on their looks. In a news release, the city said the municipal building will be renovated to have a more "contemporary feel, with warmer colors and more inviting furniture grouping." Some of the updates will take place during non-office hours through Sept. 30, but the entire project is expected to be finished by the end of November. With the help of the redecorating committee and residents Kathy Nau and Julie Burton, the interior makeover comes after a 10-year gap from the city's last renovation. The existing wood benches in the lobby and rotunda will be upholstered with new fabrics, and new pieces will be added to create more sitting areas. New LED lights will …

Business hours are now back to its original schedule of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
After adding an hour to its regular schedule for three months, Norcross City Hall has changed its office hours back to the old time. Starting June 1, the hours at city hall will revert back to being 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. This includes drive-thru, phone and walk-in hours.

The city sent out a statement that the change back to its old schedule is because of a lack of public activity during…

WOW! Wish I could afford a renovation... wait I've spent all my extra money paying the city storm water fee (which was incorrect at first and most likely cost the city cash to resend the statements), also paid the highest utility bill of the year (summer rates), and don't forget property taxes. Poor timing for 'decorating' when some residents are scrambling to keep up perhaps? more ›
