Lawrenceville City Council Approves FY2027 Budget with 3.1% Average Employee Salary Increase
The City of Lawrenceville adopted its Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The resolution outlines the management of the budget, legal levels of control, and responsibilities of the city manager and CFO. It also includes provisions for employee salary adjustments, with an average increase of 3.1% for employees with more than six months of service. The budget details expense controls, a capital improvement plan for FY2027 through 2032, and authorized positions by department, including new positions for risk management functions.
Lawrenceville Shifts to Self-Insured Program to Save Over $500K Annually
The City of Lawrenceville is transitioning its property and liability insurance coverage from a fully insured program to a self-insured program with excess coverage. This decision follows a poor loss year in 2021 that led to significant year-over-year rate increases (20%) for their insurance program. Projections indicated a potential premium of $4 million by 2031. The self-insured model is expected to result in substantial savings, over $500,000 in fiscal year 2027, by allowing the city to better control its loss experience and focus resources on internal safety and claims administration. Several other metro Atlanta cities, including Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Marietta, Athens-Clarke County, Fairburn, and Forest Park, also utilize self-insured programs.
Lawrenceville Approves $196,000 in Incentives for Central Block Residential Project
The City of Lawrenceville is entering into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) for economic incentives related to the Central Block project. This project involves the development of 63 carriage-style houses with rear-entry garages. The incentives include waiving a $2,000 connection fee per house, totaling $126,000, and assisting with sidewalk repairs along Gwinnett Drive and West Crogan Street, not to exceed $70,000. Additionally, the city will provide Site Development Cost (SDC) credits worth $335,000 from Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources, which offset future development fees for water meter and sewer connections. These credits are tied to the property and must be utilized within a specified timeframe (e.g., five years) to avoid reverting to the city.
Lawrenceville Awards Annual Contracts for Electric Transformer Services to Sunbelt Solomon and Emerald Transformers
The City of Lawrenceville is awarding annual contracts for electric transformer reconditioning and repair services to Sunbelt Solomon and Emerald Transformers. Three proposals were received for RFP RP007-26, and after evaluation, two firms were recommended based on experience, qualifications, capacity, responsiveness, and pricing. Awarding contracts to both firms provides operational flexibility, improves contractor availability, and ensures the electric department has resources to respond quickly. The estimated annual expenditure for both contracts combined is $400,000, with funding available from the electric department's budgets. The contracts will have an initial one-year term with four one-year renewal options.
Lawrenceville Renews Automated Speed Enforcement Contract with Updated Terms
The City of Lawrenceville is entering into a new agreement with Blue Line Solutions LLC for automated speed enforcement cameras, including Flock safety cameras, in school zones. This follows a June 2021 agreement prompted by citizen complaints and school administrative concerns about excessive speeding. A speed study confirmed consistent speeding, with 95% of traffic exceeding the limit near Central Gwinnett High School in 2021. The new agreement, necessitated by Georgia House Bill 651, will standardize terms, limit camera operation to four hours daily (one hour before and after classes, excluding summer school), and adjust fines. The city will receive 75% of paid notice of liabilities, with Blue Line Solutions receiving 25% for maintenance and operations. The agreement is for a six-year term.
