Conyers drops proposed short-term rental ordinances

CONYERS — After months of discussion and opposition from residents concerned about the impact of Airbnb-style rentals on their neighborhoods, the Conyers City Council decided not to move forward with two proposed ordinances to regulate short-term rental properties. During its Nov. 4 work session, the council agreed to abandon Ordinances 1488 and 1490, which would have established where short-term rentals could operate and created a permitting and enforcement system for properties rented to guests for 30 days or less. The decision followed another round of public comments from residents who argued that allowing short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods could threaten their quality of life, introduce commercial activity into established communities and create additional enforcement challenges for the city. According to the city’s official meeting summary, the council will not place either ordinance on a future agenda for adoption. The decision leaves the city’s existing regulations in place rather than establishing a new permitting system. However, questions remain about how the city will address short-term rentals operating without authorization and whether it will consider additional enforcement measures.

GCPS: No money for Gwinnett teacher retention bonuses this year

Gwinnett County teachers are not getting retention bonuses that educators had anticipated since the county’s school board adopted its budget earlier this year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools officials say its because there was no state funding to support it. Teachers learned the one-time $2,000 bonuses were not coming via an email that was sent out Monday night. Within a couple of hours, screen shots of the email, which appeared to have also been accidentally sent to parents through ParentVue, were circulating on social media. “The supplement was contingent on funding from the state of Georgia,” district officials sad in the message. “That funding was not included in the approved state budget, and GCPS does not have funding available in its current budget to provide the supplement independently. “We recognize this news may be disappointing. We value the dedication of our teachers and staff and understand the importance of compensation in attracting and retaining the talented professionals who serve our students every day.” The retention bonuses were among the features touted as benefits of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2027 budget, which went into affect over the summer. The district also gave employees step increases on the salary scale
