The Conyers Mayor and City Council are moving to a new meeting format beginning in February 2026 and will be introducing work sessions as part of their meeting schedule once a month.
The city council will hold a work session on the first Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers. Work sessions will offer the mayor and all council members the opportunity to weigh in and collaboratively discuss various topics or projects prior to being introduced at the regular city council meeting, which will occur on the third Wednesday of the month at 6 p.m. in the same location.
As always, work sessions and council meetings are open to the public and will be livestreamed on the city’s website, conyersga.com. Allotted time for citizen comments will continue to be part of work session and council meeting agendas. If the mayor and council need to conduct time-sensitive business, then they may adjourn the work session and convene a council meeting on the first Wednesday of the month. That intention, however, would be clearly advertised prior to a work session and would then be considered a special called meeting.
“The introduction of work sessions to the city council’s meeting schedule is a result of discussion with staff at the annual retreat and a request for additional transparency,” said City Manager Kameron Kelley. “Our intention is to always be open and transparent with the citizens we serve and a work session format allows citizens to hear firsthand discussion, questions asked of staff, and deliberation among council members about important items coming before them for consideration.”
Work sessions may be canceled if there is lack of agenda items. Follow the city’s calendar of events at conyersga.com for the latest meeting announcements and cancellations.
Agendas are available to citizens prior to the meetings on the city website at https://www.conyersga.com/government/city-government/council-agendas-and-minutes or by requesting them via City Clerk Nicole Holsomback at nicole.holsomback@conyersga.gov.
