At its Nov. 6 meeting, Canton City Council recorded several procedural and project votes. Key outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes are listed below.
• Capital Improvements Element (impact fees) — Motion to approve transmittal of the annual update to the Capital Improvements Element for impact‑fees: motion carried. Staff described this transmittal as required by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs and the Atlanta Regional Commission so the city may continue collecting impact fees and update the project list.
• Addendum to Task Order #5 — SR‑140 utility relocation: Council approved an addendum to Task Order #5 for Project Highway 140 (P10017789) in the amount of $15,000 to cover additional design and GDOT‑requested revisions and a $2,500 contingency.
• Minutes — Council approved the minutes from the Oct. 16, 2025 meeting.
• 2026 Council Meeting Calendar — Council approved an amended 2026 meeting calendar for January (meetings on Jan. 8 and Jan. 22) due to Jan. 1 falling on the first Thursday.
• Deferral — The council approved a motion to defer the public hearing for ANNX2509-002 (Old Ball Ground Highway annexation) to Jan. 8 at the request of the applicant to allow time to address traffic and fire-access issues.
The council also moved to extend public‑comment time during the Baycon Road hearing and carried that motion. Several other agenda items were discussed but either were informational or were held for a future vote, including a proposed wastewater master plan contract and a consulting agreement with Tetra Tech; those items remain under staff review.
