The agenda for the Sept. 15 meeting of the Peachtree City Council will be as brief as any this year. The only item beyond the consent agenda will be a staff topic on the design of the Lake Peachtree spillway.
Funding for the beginning phases of work on the Lake Peachtree spillway were approved April 21 by the council, with the approval of $300,000 for design and engineering work.
City staff were given the approval to spend nearly $300,000 to cover the schematic phase, design work, contract document development and bidding and contractor selection for the spillway.
Coming later, said City Manger Jon Rorie, would be an estimated cost of $230,00 for construction administration and project closeout costs.
The big ticket item will be the spillway itself. The spillway and the previous costs of more than $500,000 will run $3-3.2 million.
Per a November 2015 intergovernmental agreement with Fayette County, the county will provide $2 million to bring the Lake Peachtree spillway to Category 1 status and will credit the city $1 million for future dredging.
