Citizen Comments, The Council has always encouraged citizens to bring their comments and questions to the Council Meetings so we can be aware of your thoughts and be better able to represent you. During these challenging times, we have been forced to adapt some different technologies and procedures to be able to conduct the business of the City and still be mindful of the safety of our City staff and our citizens.
In these unique times we want to continue to seek participation from our citizens in a manner that will be both efficient and productive to the meeting process. However, the technology we are using to conduct our meetings makes it more difficult for us to have an open exchange or discussion such as we have had when we were in the Council Room together.
If you have a question or comment that you would like to be considered by the Council, please send an email now or during the meeting to councilmeetingquestions@cityoflula.com
Council Comments
…
The Mayor and Council set the milage rate and roll back last night for the Lula Property Taxes to
“0”
There are 535 incorporated cities in the Great State Georgia! and only about 81 of all those cites don’t charge property taxes, and the GOOD NEWS is, if you live in Lula, Georgia— you are one of those very few!
In these difficult times it has not been easy making a lot of decisions, and sometimes the state and federal laws get in our way of doing what is best for your community…… but the city tries to run our house like you run yours, we live within our means, if it cost us a dollar than we charge a dollar, we don’t rob Peter to pay Paul and we try to be good stewards of your city everyday.
What a great place to call home!

Public Comments Regarding Proposed Changes to the Current Zoning Ordinance regarding Personal Care Home allowable Districts.
Hats off to the Mayor and Council approving the replacement of the damaged playground equipment at the Lula Wellness Park. The New Playground Equipment came at a cost of $44,000 from Play-South/ Burke and will be delivered hopefully in late January. The funding is coming from your Special Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) which is reserved for park improvements!
As you can see by the depiction above the new playground has some great features and will accommodate a lot more children.
