Cobb to Raise Water, Sewer Rates

Cobb County will increase water and sewer rates annually for the next five years, following a 4-1 commission vote, with JoAnn Birrell dissenting. The average residential customer, using 5,000 gallons monthly, will see a $1.90 increase next year. Rate hikes start April 1, 2025, and continue each January through 2029, to cover rising costs and major wastewater projects. Chairwoman Lisa Cupid described the move as proactive, preventing larger future hikes. Historically, the county has adjusted water rates and revenue transfers to the general fund, with a plan to reduce the transfer rate from 10% to 5%. Last year, 6% of water revenues were transferred, and rates rose 7.5%. This year, the transfer is 5%. Birrell criticized the practice of transferring funds while raising rates, arguing against increases when funds are diverted to the general fund.

BREAK: CU of GA (06.26.24 CU OF GA FREE CHECKING_REV_FINAL)

STORY 1: Soldier Reunited with Dog He Met While Deployed Overseas

Army Spc. Landon Gnade was reunited with his puppy, Lepo, thanks to the nonprofit Paws of War, after serving in Kosovo. Gnade met Lepo, originally named Onyx, during his deployment, and they quickly bonded. Paws of War, which helps veterans by reuniting them with animals they bonded with during service, facilitated Lepo's journey to the U.S. Despite challenges in transporting animals, the nonprofit successfully brought Lepo to Georgia, where he will live on Gnade's farm. Paws of War will cover Lepo's medical and insurance costs for life, supporting both the soldier and his pet.

STORY 2: Cobb Approves Indoor Soccer Facility in Mableton

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved a proposal for an indoor soccer facility on Lions Club Drive, requested by Trejo Soccer Academy. The facility, a 24,028-square-foot warehouse, will be rezoned for commercial indoor recreation, allowing the academy to expand with two indoor fields for youth and adult training. Initially met with opposition over parking and rezoning concerns, the proposal was approved with stipulations, including occupancy limits and a 40-foot buffer. The facility must be completed within 180 days, and the property cleaned up. The building, originally a roller rink, will be repurposed for soccer training.

STORY 3:  40-Home West Cobb Subdivision Approved

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners approved a subdivision on Midway Road, proposed by Poston Properties, with a 5-0 vote. The development will feature 40 traditional and craftsman-style homes, reduced from an initial 47, with sizes ranging from 2,200 to 2,800 square feet. The 48.67-acre property will include 20.93 acres of protected open space, walking trails, and park areas. A homeowners association will maintain common areas. A 100-foot buffer will separate the subdivision from neighbors, and development hours are restricted. The project aims to offer diverse housing sizes, addressing some affordable housing concerns.

Break: DRAKE (Drake Realty (Cobb County)

STORY 4: AROUND TOWN: Cobb Lawmakers on Vaccines; Jerica Richardson's Uncertain Future

Two Cobb County Republican lawmakers, Sen. Kay Kirkpatrick and Rep. Sharon Cooper, are defending the polio vaccine amid efforts to undermine its credibility. Kirkpatrick, a physician, emphasized the vaccine's role in preventing polio globally, while Cooper, a nurse, criticized misinformation and stressed the importance of childhood vaccinations. Both highlighted the resurgence of polio cases and the need for proven vaccines. Meanwhile, Cobb County Commissioner Jerica Richardson was recognized for her service, despite uncertainties about her political future due to districting issues. The Cobb County Democratic Party announced its new leadership team, focusing on maintaining their influence in the area.

STORY 5: No. 9: Cobb Sees Primary Upsets, Presidential Visits

In 2024, Cobb County saw significant political shifts and high-profile election events. Sonya Allen, a former deputy district attorney, unseated incumbent DA Flynn Broady in the Democratic primary, securing her position without Republican opposition. In Georgia House District 42, socialist Gabriel Sanchez defeated incumbent Teri Anulewicz, later winning the general election. Cobb was a battleground for the presidential race, hosting multiple visits from President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris. Despite Cobb's Democratic lean, Trump won Georgia with 51% of the vote, highlighting the state's swing status.

Soldier Reunited with Dog He Met While Deployed Overseas  Cobb

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast presented by Credit Union of Georgia. Today is Wednesday, December 18th and I'm Keith Ippolito.

County, Cities Meeting Wednesday to Talk New Tax Option

The Cobb County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a special meeting to discuss the implications of House Bill 581, a new property tax law approved by Georgia voters. HB581 introduces a statewide floating homestead exemption aimed at altering property tax systems, alongside an optional 1% Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST). Local governments must decide by March 1 whether to opt-in or out of the exemption. Those opting out cannot impose a FLOST and must meet strict requirements, including public advertising, three public hearings, and passing a resolution before the deadline.

The meeting, set for 10 a.m. Wednesday at 100 Cherokee Street in Marietta, will bring together representatives from Cobb County and its municipalities to address these changes. Marietta Mayor Steve Tumlin confirmed city representation, and Commissioner Keli Gambrill stated all seven city leaders were invited to participate in this critical discussion on the county’s tax policy direction.
