Peachtree Corners Magazine staff

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, effective Monday, March 23, the hours that City Hall will be open to the public will change. City Hall will be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, City Hall staff will be working remotely. All will be available via email or by telephone.

This step was taken to protect our staff, our residents, our business community and visitors who are conducting business with the city. These new hours of operation will remain in effect until further notice.

Please use the city’s website, www.peachtreecornersga.gov, to locate important information. Often you will find the answers to your questions on the city’s website. If you are unsure of which department or person to contact, use the “Search” box near the top right side of the homepage and enter appropriate search terms to assist you.

City Hall staff members are also available by telephone and email. A complete list of city staff with direct telephone numbers and email addresses is located on the city’s website. Use the link at the top of the page labeled “Contact Us” for a complete list. The names are listed alphabetically. You may also use the filter to locate staff members by department.

For general queries regarding Building Permits and Building Inspections:

As City Hall will be operating under restricted hours of operation, we ask that all contractors, permit expeditors, architectural /engineering firms, etc., submitting plans for building construction or land disturbance projects, do so electronically through eplan solutions (https://peachtreecornersga.eps.tech/peachtreecornersga/index.html).

The two days that City Hall will be open for walk-in service, will be dedicated to issuing certificates, picking up approved plans and permits, and to assist our residential customers. For permitting questions, please contact Elaine Cribbs at 470-550-1729 or via email at ecribbs@peachtreecornersga.gov. For questions relating to building inspections, please contact Mark Mitchell by telephone at 678-691-1207 or via email at mmitchell@peachtreecornersga.gov

For Business license questions, applications and payments:

During this time, we strongly encourage businesses to renew their licenses online or by mail. If you have questions regarding renewals, please send an email to businesslicenses@peachtreecornersga.gov or call 678-691-1208 to speak with the city’s business license officer.

For Code Enforcement queries:

City Hall will only be open on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but Code Enforcement Officers will be conducting their normal field inspections on all five days in order to respond to and handle any issues that arise. The community will still be able to contact Code Enforcement via telephone at 470-395-7026; by email at codeenforcement@peachtreecornersga.gov or by creating a report from the city’s website (https://www.peachtreecornersga.gov/residents/report-anissue-fix-it) or by using the city’s Fix-It app.

For Public Work issues or questions:

During the restricted hours of operation, Public Works or Solid Waste related issues can still be submitted through the PC Fix-it app. For those with a smartphone, this can be downloaded for free searching “PC Fix-it” in your affiliated app store. Those with the “Corners Connect” app can also access the fix-it app directly there. You can also submit a service request using the City’s website at https://www.peachtreecornersga.gov/residents/report-an-issue-fix-it.

As usual, all phone calls to Public Works will be routed to the 24 hours/day call center if the staff is unavailable at the moment. Also, as usual, the staff is available via email addresses at all times, and those addresses are available on the Public Works page. Daily maintenance activities of the city’s infrastructure will continue on a regular basis just as they do during normal operations.

The city made the decision to remain open for two days each week to accommodate the needs of the community and businesses. The City Hall building is being thoroughly cleaned and disinfected daily to ensure the public and city staff is safe during this coronavirus outbreak.

If you have questions regarding any non-city related matters, please refer to the “Who Do I Call” list which is located under the “Residents” tab. Topics include emergency water repair, excessive noise complaints, property taxes, stray animals, etc.

Flyer for a community meeting regarding law enforcement in Peachtree Corners.

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.

After the meeting, a follow-up survey will be available on the city’s project page.

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.

Peachtree Corners Magazine staff

For the eighth year in a row, the City of Peachtree Corners has been esteemed with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. This award was presented by the Georgia Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the City’s Fiscal Year 2025 budget submission.

The award represents a significant achievement by the entity. It reflects the commitment of the governing body and staff to meeting the highest principles of governmental budgeting. To receive the budget award, the entity had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an entity’s budget serves as a:

policy document
financial plan
operations guide
communications device

Budget documents must be rated “proficient” in all four categories and in the fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories to receive the award.

Certificate of Recognition

When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is granted to an entity, a Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation is also presented to the individual(s) or department designated as being primarily responsible for having achieved the award.

“Congratulations to the entire finance team on receiving this award,” said City Manager Brian Johnson.

“This recognition is a testament to our team’s hard work, professionalism and commitment to excellence.”

There are over 1,700 participants in the Budget Awards Program. The most recent Budget Award recipients, along with their corresponding budget documents, are posted quarterly on GFOA’s website.

Award recipients have pioneered efforts to improve the quality of budgeting and provide an excellent example for other governments throughout North America.

About the GFOA

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) advances excellence in government finance by providing best practices, professional development, resources and practical research for more than 21,000 members and the communities they serve.
