Published

City staff available by-appointment-only basis

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus began, the city has strived to find the best balance between providing service at City Hall to its residents and business community. Just recently City Hall had reduced its hours open to the public to Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, after considering the continued spread of the coronavirus in the metro area, the decision was made to close City Hall to the public.

Until further notice, Peachtree Corners City Hall will not be open during regular business hours. However, members of the public may request in-person meetings by appointment. During regular City Hall hours, the staff will be available by telephone and email.

A complete list of city staff with direct telephone numbers and email address is located on the city’s website, www.peachtreecornersga.gov. Use the link at the top of the home page labeled “Contact Us” for a complete list. Names are listed alphabetically; you may also use the filter to locate staff members by department.

The City of Peachtree Corners will hold an important public meeting on May 8 to discuss the future of law enforcement in our community — including the potential creation of a city police department.

This meeting will feature a presentation by City Manager Brian Johnson on the findings of a comprehensive Police Analysis & Staffing Study that evaluated the feasibility and projected costs of forming a city police department based on current workload, crime levels and community demographics.

The presentation will also include budgetary considerations, comparative models and the advantages and disadvantages of a county vs. city police department.

Following the presentation, there will be time for a Q&A and open dialogue.

In-person attendance is limited to 300. First come, first served. A livestream option will be available for those who can’t attend in person.

Councilmember Eric Christ: 2025 Peachtree Corners Municipal Elections

Peachtree Corners Municipal Elections Tuesday, November 4 in white font on a blue background.

On Tuesday, November 4, we will have municipal elections here in the City of Peachtree Corners for three council seats. [And] for the first time since 2013, there will be a state-wide election on the same day as our city general election. 

The state-wide election is to fill two seats on the Public Service Commission, which regulates Georgia Power and other utilities.

For the PSC election, the Gwinnett County Board of Elections will have all 156 county precincts open on November 4. Historically, Peachtree Corners has had a single voting location for city elections — at City Hall.

If we do the same this year, citizens who want to vote in both the PSC and the City Council elections will need to go to two places to cast their ballots.

A few years ago, I convinced the County Board of Elections to remove their prohibition against the Gwinnett Elections Department managing city elections. (Every county surrounding Gwinnett already offered this service to their cities.)

This means there is the potential of adding our city council elections to the county ballot.

I would like to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of combining our city council races with the county’s for this year’s elections. 

Please complete my brief survey by clicking here.
