CITY OF SOUTH FULTON

City of South Fulton | City Manager’s Report

Greetings, Honorable Mayor and City Council Members, As summer comes to a close, I hope you had the opportunity to enjoy the season, spend meaningful time with family and friends, and take a well-deserved moment to recharge. As we transition into a new season, I am excited about what lies ahead for the City of South Fulton and the continued progress we are making together. Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and reflect on the strength, courage, and compassion that brought our nation together. I attended the First Responders Appreciation Program. The program offered a special opportunity to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of those who serve and protect our communities. The inaugural City Manager Innovation Summit 2026 offered a valuable forum to explore emerging strategies, technologies, and best practices that help cities strengthen operations, enhance service delivery, and improve organizational performance. I also enjoyed connecting with city managers and executive leaders from across the country, exchanging ideas, building professional relationships, and bringing back new perspectives and innovative solutions to the City of South Fulton. Thank you to Mayor and Council for the unanimous approval of the FY27 budget, totaling $391 million, at the September 22nd Council Meeting. The decrease from the amended FY26 budget of $427 million to $391 million is primarily attributable to 67% of bond proceeds allocated to the construction of the new Police Headquarters, and Fire Headquarters, and Training Center. The full amount of bond funds was budgeted in FY26. I am also pleased to share that the millage rate will remain unchanged at 12.399. This approval provides a strong foundation for the responsible management of the City's resources while continuing to support essential services and community priorities. A special note of appreciation to our Finance Department, Public Affairs, and all City staff who played a vital role in guiding the City through this year’s budget process—from engaging the community through Budget Conversations to the final adoption of the budget. This process required collaboration, transparency, attention to detail, and a shared commitment to serving our residents. The time, expertise, and dedication contributed at every stage helped ensure a thoughtful and inclusive process. I appreciate everyone who worked behind the scenes and alongside our community to advance the City’s priorities and position the City of South Fulton for continued progress. I attended the GCCMA Fall Conference on September 23–24, which featured engaging sessions on local government leadership, administration, and emerging issues facing our communities. The conference offered an opportunity to learn from fellow local government professionals, exchange ideas, and tour nearby cities to see firsthand how other communities manage municipal operations and service delivery. The 6th Annual Aerotropolis Honors, held on September 24, honored Ed Bastian, Delta CEO and brought together leaders, organizations, and community partners shaping the future of our region. The event celebrated those driving innovation, expanding economic opportunity, and fueling transformative growth throughout the Aerotropolis. Special kudos to our Human Resources Department for making Spirit Fridays such a fun and memorable experience! To wrap up the celebration, each department had the chance to host its own tailgate party. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a personalized jersey from our HR department! I truly appreciate the thoughtfulness, energy, and team spirit that made this experience so special. Moments like these are a great reminder that while we work hard together, it is just as important to 3

celebrate one another and build connections across the organization. Thank you, TEAM CoSF, for all your hard work and dedication to making this a great place to work and PLAY! One City. One Team! �� On September 28, I participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Creel Park ADA Playground. This new playground is more than an enhancement to our park—it reflects our dedication to creating spaces where every child can play, connect, and enjoy the outdoors. Ensuring our parks are accessible and inclusive fosters a stronger sense of belonging for families throughout South Fulton. On September 29, I held my fifth “Real Talk” with City staff, continuing an important forum for open dialogue and connection with our employees. These conversations give me the chance to hear directly from staff, learn more about their experiences, and create space for candid discussions about our organization and the work we do every day. The T-SPLOST Roadshow officially kicked off, with public education sessions offering an overview of our past, ongoing, and future planned TSPLOST projects. Our T-SPLOST 3 proposal identifies $137.1 million in projects. T-SPLOST 3 is on the November ‘26 ballot for voter consideration. This investment will support key improvements to mobility, safety, and connectivity throughout South Fulton, including sidewalks, roadway resurfacing, bridge upgrades, pedestrian infrastructure, traffic signal modernization, and intersection upgrades. As I reflect on September, I am reminded that progress is built on many individual efforts working together. From honoring those who serve to investing in our infrastructure, strengthening our workforce, supporting economic growth, and creating more inclusive spaces for our residents, each initiative helps move South Fulton forward. I appreciate the dedication of our employees, the partnership of the Mayor and Council, and the continued involvement of our residents and community partners as we work together to build an even stronger City. Mayor and Council, thank you for your continued support and for trusting us to oversee and manage the city’s affairs. Please accept this report as a summary of the city's successful outcomes for September 2026.

Purchasing Card (P-Card) Report

Purchasing Card (P-Card) Program The August P-Card review cycle reflects solid operational performance. While most activity complied with City policy and procurement requirements, several recurring administrative issues continue to undermine audit readiness and overall program adherence. Although the identified exceptions were administrative, they still represent compliance lapses that increase audit exposure and delay reconciliation. These issues are correctable but must be addressed promptly to maintain audit readiness. The Annual Refresher P-Card training cycle is nearing completion, and participant feedback has been constructive. Notably, some said the training clarified expectations for meal documentation, business purpose statements, and receipt submission, while others said it clarified compliance standards and procedures. The expectation is that, with this increased awareness, a meaningful reduction in documentation-related exceptions can be achieved in future cycles. The Procurement department will continue to follow up with departments experiencing recurring documentation issues. After the annual refresher training is complete, compliance trends will be monitored to assess its impact. In FY27, brief refresher materials will be provided quarterly to maintain awareness and prevent regression. The August P-Card cycle shows a generally strong posture, with exceptions concentrated in areas that are correctable. As training concludes and cardholders gain a clearer understanding of tax-exempt procedures and documentation requirements, the program could achieve higher compliance rates and reduce audit exposure in the months ahead.

GOAL 1 Enhance Government Efficiency & Productivity South Fulton Fire Rescue continues to strengthen its ability to serve the community by investing in the equipment and resources needed to keep our firefighters prepared and operations running effectively. On September 8, 2026, the City Council approved the purchase of a Brush Truck, adding another specialized resource to the department’s fleet. This apparatus will provide additional capabilities when responding to brush fires, emergencies, and other incidents requiring specialized firefighting equipment. In addition, two new apparatuses were delivered to the city in early September. These apparatuses will help improve fleet reliability and ensure our firefighters have dependable equipment when responding to emergencies. Furthermore, they will help reduce disruptions caused by equipment maintenance and downtime, allowing the department to make better use of its personnel and available resources.

These investments represent a continued effort to make sure South Fulton Fire Rescue has the right tools, resources, and capabilities to respond to the community safely and efficiently. By investing in a dependable, modern fleet, the department is improving operational readiness, making better use of City resources, and strengthening its ability to provide timely and effective emergency services to South Fulton residents. The department also continues to focus on measurable improvements in emergency response and service delivery. The following EMS and fire response-time metrics demonstrate the department’s ongoing efforts to enhance operational efficiency, strengthen response capabilities, and better serve the community.

In September, the department’s average response time for fire calls rose from 4 minutes, 49 seconds to 6 minutes, 19 seconds. The average response time for medical emergencies also rose from 8 minutes, 55 seconds to 9 minutes, 11 seconds. While response times increased during the reporting period, the department continues to monitor these measures closely to identify trends and opportunities for improvement. These metrics will continue to inform operational planning, resource allocation, and efforts to maintain timely emergency response throughout the community. In September 2026, approximately 56.81% of all calls for service were medical emergencies, underscoring the continued demand for emergency medical services.

Alongside these initiatives, the department remained focused on prevention to reduce risks before incidents occur. During the September 1–27, 2026, reporting period, South Fulton Fire Rescue personnel completed 92 fire inspections and worked on 4 fire investigations, closing 1. These efforts demonstrate the department’s continued commitment to fire prevention, code compliance, and community safety.

GOAL 2 Increase Community Collaboration and Improve Quality of Life. South Fulton Fire Rescue continued to strengthen community collaboration by participating in the 911 Beyond the Call Ceremony, where Chief Byrd discussed the challenges firefighters face in maintaining the mental and physical readiness needed to respond to emergency calls. By sharing these experiences with the community, the department offered greater insight into the demands of the fire service. The department also participated in the Wellness 5K Run, offering firefighters and staff a chance to engage with community members in a positive, health-focused environment. With this commitment to wellness, the department is completing its annual firefighter physicals, which include cardiac and cancer screenings for all fire employees. GOAL 3 Enhance the City’s Financial Stability and Economic Diversification through Strategic Leadership and Community Partnership In September 2026, the City of South Fulton entered into an agreement with the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE) to partner with South Fulton Fire Rescue for a three-day accreditation workshop. The workshop will help the department further develop three key documents—the Community Risk Assessment/Standards of Cover (CRA/SOC), Strategic Plan, and Self-Assessment Manual (SAM). Working directly with CPSE will provide the Department with an opportunity to learn from accreditation professionals, strengthen its planning efforts, and ensure that future decisions align with the community's needs and risks. The workshop will also be open to neighboring public safety agencies, creating an opportunity for departments to come together, share ideas, and learn from one another. This partnership allows South Fulton Fire Rescue to build stronger relationships with other agencies and to share knowledge and resources that benefit the region. By working collaboratively and leveraging available expertise, the Department continues to support responsible resource management, professional growth, and the City's long-term commitment to strong and sustainable public safety services. GOAL 4 Strengthen and Expand Infrastructure to Support Sustainability The department continues to strengthen and expand its infrastructure through the development of the new Headquarters and Training Facility, a transformational project designed to support the long-term operational, administrative, and training needs of South Fulton Fire Rescue. The facility will improve coordination among departmental divisions, enhance workforce development, support emergency management operations, and provide infrastructure that can accommodate future technological and operational advancements.

These procurements streamline purchasing, reduce downtime, leverage nationally solicited pricing, and improve operational efficiency for essential City services. 2. Public Safety Equipment and Communications Procurement continued to advance and support public safety operations through a mix of cooperative and competitive purchasing initiatives. Key efforts included acquisitions of firefighter uniforms, first responder personal protective equipment, police pursuit vehicles, commercial fleet units, emergency vehicle upfitting, and critical communications equipment. These investments enhance emergency response readiness, strengthen operational safety, and reinforce the reliability of both Police and Fire services. Several additional initiatives advanced during the reporting period. The Police uniform solicitation entered the evaluation phase, with vendor interviews scheduled for October 6th and 7th. A contract establishing a Medical Director for the Fire Rescue Emergency Medical Services program received Council approval and has been fully executed, ensuring consistent medical oversight of emergency response operations. Additionally, a new contract was awarded to provide EMS pharmaceutical services, further supporting the Fire Rescue Department’s ongoing emergency medical needs and operational readiness. 3. Citywide Planning and Infrastructure Support The City continued advancing key strategic planning and infrastructure initiatives through targeted professional service contracts. Ongoing efforts supported the development of comprehensive wayfinding and gateway signage, improvements to public facilities, and rehabilitation programs for eligible senior homeowners. Together, these initiatives reinforce

long‑term economic development, strengthen accessibility, promote revitalization, and enhance community engagement across South Fulton.
