City's Code Enforcement Officer Sworn In

At Tuesday night's Peachtree Corners City Council meeting Walter Osorio was officially sworn in as the new code enforcement officer, and city leaders announced that the first Comprehensive Plan committee would meet on Wednesday.

Peachtree Corners city leaders took another step forward Tuesday night in its plans to meet its deadline to have the city services up and operational by Feb. 1.

Code Enforcement Officer Walter Osorio was sworn in during Tuesday night's meeting by the city's attorney Bill Riley and the City Council approved four ordinances to adopt building codes, floodplain management, buffer, landscape and tree regulations.

Council also approved regulatory fees for commercial solid waste collection and a resolution to adopt a floodplain damage prevention ordinance and to participate in the national flood insurance program.

While the City Council's work appears to be a bit mundane, it's all part of getting the city set up to operate separately from Gwinnett County.

Diana Wheeler, the city's Community Development Director announced that the 15 members for the Comprehensive Plan committee had been selected and the first meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013 at City Hall.

The group of 15, made up of Peachtree Corners civic, county and local citizens, are scheduled to meet on a regular basis through August to design a plan which city leaders will use to determine the new city's path for the next two decades.

In anticipation of its Feb. 1 launch of its services to be up and operational, Wheeler announced that all the forms needed for the city to provide those services city services will be "ready for everyone" on Friday.

Those forms will be available in the City Hall lobby.

Mayor Mason then announced that the City Council would be adjourning for executive session to "discuss a land purchase."

It's important to note that at the end of the City Council meeting the mayor and council adjourned to discuss a land purchase. No further information was available but Patch will stay on top of any news from that executive session.

evidently just another low-information group. what they need to be focusing on is this: Did youRead More know that in all of the shootings, that the shooters were on one or more of these drugs? Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Prozac? http://www.antidepressantsfacts.com/2000-05-16-School-Shootings-Psychotropic-Drugs.htm CT Massacre: Therapists laying low on antidepressants because pharma industry owns them (M. Savage) Again... all of the recent shooters have been on these.... it ruins their brains... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRqgWpjuLY http://youngpatriots.com/2013/01/school-shooters-and-the-pharmaceuticals/ http://www.policeone.com/active-shooter/articles/2058168-Lt-Col-Dave-Grossman-to-cops-The-enemy-is-denial/ and the CT shooter violated no less than 43 State, local and Federal laws before he fired the first shot at the school.." So tell me again how more gun laws would have made a difference in the tragedy in CT????

This touches one of the problems with a Fri pick up schedule. Folks who take weekend trips areRead More caught with either leaving the cans out or missing out by not putting their trash out. Since homeowners have zero choices under our government mandated trash plan to pay in advance for service without the ability to change carriers with different pick up dates, leaving the cans out is the results. IF the new city can change our pickup day to Mon or Tue this problem would be stopped or reduced

This is one of those "government mandated" services that actually are worth while. ImagineRead More 5 different garbage collectors going around PC every week stopping at every 5th home. But perhaps the city will attempt to get earlier in the week service for us. My household has good relations with our neighbors and they are more than happy to do the chore for us, as we they.

It's my understanding that a Monday or Tuesday pickup day is one of the stipulations in the RFP theRead More city sent out. You can review the RFP on the city's website.
