So I'd like to finance committee meeting to order.

The first order, Mr.

Mayor.

Is the minutes December the 18th?

It's been moved.

We need a second.

Mr.

Anderson.

Yeah.

Okay.

Those in favor raise your hand.

Three minutes approved.

The next item take, I guess, in six tax, rental tax, and quarterly finance.

Okay, thank you.

Kent.

Council.

The first three that you mentioned, um, walk through those then um that's answering that you may have.

Uh so the hotel functions for the month of December was 295, 354.

Um, that the um thousand for the month of was booked in December.

That normal amount would be 377, which is the highest in the last four years.

Um much more in line with seen for um the prior decks collections.

So the total fiscal date has necessary reduction, and that leaves a reserve of thousand three hundred and fifty-five dollars for the hotel.

Then the next item is the auto rental, the December auto rental total ninety eight hundred and ninety-three on seven thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars will be placed the fiscal year reserve increase the reserve um year to sixty-seven thousand eight hundred and eight.

And then we will have the finance date.

So this is gonna be our quarterly um finance update for the um second quarter of fiscal year.

You look on page in your packet, you'll see that the year-to-day exceeded expenses by just over thirteen.

This comment um and of course um the further we get into the year, the more the expenditures will revenues.

Um higher because we just um initial cycle for the real estate and our real property tax prize about 23 budgeted revenue, and we have collected about eight percent um mid-year.

And so all of our all the areas of revenue have exceeded the budget projections, um overall collection leading 50 percent.

License and per notice is much lower.

Our occupational renewal runs through the March and revenue collection will increase as the deadline approaches commercial billets meeting the budget, but we'll continue to monitor those to the spring and to the heavier construction strike cycle.

Now turning to pay in the packet review the pictures that we have as far.

As you'll notice our personal comprises large portion of expenditure budget the salary and business item that's 40 percent budget have conservative measures in place to monitor those expenses throughout the year.

Um the expenditures incurred year to date are um include our our year-in capital for 25 and so means that um what we do end is we were that um we have fulfilled all obligations and where our exceeding is we use that overage fund our general capital.

So but that is done at the end of the year, so we take money and we roll it in the next fiscal year so that they can actually purchase it.

So you won't see um at year end up back to council um and request capital request for the of fiscal year two.

So the of those funds is what twenty give a little background on that one question though this is the line over on page two pull over encumbrance response prior to fund dollars.

Okay.

Um the um for all our um PNLs for the general looks very strong.

We don't have any area that we are um truly concerned about at this point.

Um as I mentioned, um we have some things in place currently for our um we have already put in for instance for the in this that are not in this budget.

Um expensive to budget there are some areas that will um having to address funds that will come up the budget but to we're running strong to have no real concerns, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about any of the items have any questions uh have time to be a motion to receive and yes, please all of the favorite hands on the agenda the operation of facility budget, please yes chairman's um item is six hundred increase to the um parks and recreation budget it a umulation of functions that have been received uh events over the past order.

Um receive that is being passed after there is a second line of the budget amendment on the second page, which is a area on the pass that are correct it so that showed as an amendment um in advance of any motion for tonight.

So with this one, we would have um an approval a motion or approve the budget uh increase the general fund by 2600 seconds in favor three of no objection to consent thank you step the nice the budget amendment or volume yeah so the budget amendment request that by the Marietta Center to receive the eight thousand dollars from the foundation it's for the implement of education initiatives.

Um this is basically an an annual donation that will be and um the history museum would like to see these funds for fiscal year asking our the council to approve the increase in the Marietta History Fund account thousand dollars and it is question so coming from the volunteer distributed one time or yes, sir.

So we receive um the check um and it has been received in the but this this would allow um the tenant to actually add those funds during the digit season as it was not previously projected will receive it.

It's used for perfectly educational we need a motion to um the dollars from the foundation quick question um the the expenditure budget under operating expenses the appropriate that the restrictions has yes because they are going to be that to participate size and other items that they use to enhance educational favorite three oh um can we um put it on it section next item on agenda discussion on council and training allocation yes sir we uh on there so that we could we're clear on exactly what's supposed to do for next month or this of this year.

Uh it was obvious with county approval that uh it was a thousand per uh individual for new budget that take place uh law one um but goes on in general we would need to do a amendment if we're gonna put them out now uh or we just can't out that we currently have for the rest of this budget.

I don't know what is the pleasure the council.

Yes.

You merge the two together.

I mean what it it's the current count from D Summer lose and you go for six months.

That's the issue really is it's a July first budget.

Um we've got left of this, and so that's what reason yeah, totally assumed as far as just it will for that twelve.

What do we have?

Um we we put it within the new budget going, but twenty-five percent.

So we're talking about some that is a raise.

I mean the new folks excluded.

Yeah, if well you saying they ought to be four.

No, I think that what uh we were thinking we would, but I want to make sure this carry on with the the that was allocated previously for this council then this budget year.

And so that would be would not be the ten thousand um and as of uh July we'd go with the ten thousand so it you know give point you got a question, you know you have last six months, you have individual in many cases sending money out of that uh uh to tell them the members they um money or not what that other person um so we could do the full for that six months, or we could keep it in half, whichever we prefer.

GMA no, they will not fuse it a bigger code, people take it back.

That's a lot, yes sir.

We'd have the uh me ask um the other.

You write GMA, the big ones that we have.

GMA June.

Yes, sir.

There are only just as long as it doesn't get to the apple, I'd like to say with the council 25 percent must drop the two thousand I get some from cutting it in half making a twelve and a half increase.

I'm not used it.

Well interpret it that way that it is not go to the ten thousand that it goes July 1st that everybody's got enough in this particular in order to make sure uh May meeting the band the training that folks have to have.

Isn't the new folks training separate uh some of it yeah?

Right.

The state mandated one.

That's usually doesn't from that as well so we allocate it.

Yeah.

Good.

You know, in until uh July and I are probably the two users I don't know what I have would I will still do and I'll I've done in the past and pay for it as I've done in the past, I'll pay for it.

And I think last year or the when I did GMA, I had run out by and I paid for that.

I mean I hear what the mayor said people think that a raise, but I'm paid to go to these.

I pay my own.

So if the money there, I'll just pay back raise.

Take it out of my pocket.

And Mr.

Chairman given the fact that for that budget thousand dollar amount, I I understand keeping it at that amount to the end of this fiscal amount.

You need a motion on anything.

Thank you.

So the new eight thousand dollars.

Ten thousand dollars for six months.

Yes, sir.

No.

It doesn't start it starts the midday budget year.

July starts July.

So which one of the one half, which is seven thousand.

One half of the previous that's what I was gonna say.

So I was thinking.

So they ought to get thousand dollars.

Unless it to be seven, but would they get the remainder what they're previous council used?

Do whichever council preferred, but um it probably would fair if the different because somebody's got a lot left and somebody's got very little.

So I'd probably be better to either do the half or whatever of the amount allocated originally.

Okay, somebody then there are two there are technical conferences left that apply to this.

Nash Legacy Cities and GMA and June.

Um average between the two thousand and three thousand or uh in terms of travel over as well as registration.

What are you thought because this is the thing for city allden to uh pre then the members previously?

Well, I don't know the previous council used, so I don't know what that buttons are to use the officials training, which is not out of the just to go.

Those are my intentions.

And then me asking my correct budget bucket, so that's that's my intention, but I again what's the left war three.

Um I was just gonna add um three wards.

Um I was just gonna add um three wards um doing going with half of the budget for the remainder of the order was still fit the overall for the fair for those.

Okay, for the seven thousand yes, sir.

The third be thirty-five hundred remainder of the year, and then fit within the allotment for the full fiscal year.

Uh I'll I've always said I'm good with that.

This is what we've done on the so affecting just making sure we're good with what you're sending if the new training is a different bucket.

It is a different bucket, then not it's next year.

Next year's bucket.

Yeah, yeah.

So there should be yes, sir.

Should be fine.

There should be another the GMA conference.

Yes.

All right, Mr.

Chairman.

That's to come before we will order the insurance committee item on the agenda or the meeting mid-December 18th motion.

Uh so the first is our uh parkswilders.

Uh uh for that situation.

December committee report uh interest earnings for the credit in the appropriate uh five hundred and thirty and seventy cents.

Uh as such uh we have seven thousand two hundred and eighty dollars for for future properties uh to produce it Larry Smith.

Um report of this last month stated again last uh since the one project was appropriate uh in November.

Uh we received our invoice.

Uh that was not accountable for project budget.

Just an oversaw by staff two separate invoices six hundred dollars.

Same company, so that was uh an oversight on our part.

Um six hundred dollars will need to be integrated.

Uh can do that.

Uh closion of Larry Seminski for so as well as we operate uh for the overridges for uh we got the same price I wish you with uh that's uh and then just to note that uh the 600 are getting accounted for outside of seven thousand two hundred and eighty dollars of available appropriations.

Um as reported last uh we received installment of the conservation funds, uh and that goes towards a total of billion dollar grants.

Um in your memory of district the uh the remainder of the month funds and which parks those have been appropriate just for your information.

Um outside of those funds with outside of the uh interest earnings um currently no remain uh in the park for other projects.

So just looked uh with a mind as we're uh projects that we'll sources of funding through project or something else.

Um project wide uh extra part uh the zone uh storm drainage is failing.

Staff are in the vest of investigating options for repairing these pair determining whether the replacement of the existing drainage uh structure is necessary.

We'll come back with uh square the framework the interpreter panels and reinstallation of the panel panel is in progress.

Um now I'm gonna turn it over to Larry Sanders.

All right, good evening.

Um we had some today uh last month discussed uh progress on that part we were anticipating mid-Marchy for the room and after you know a double like eight months for the rest of the now the m restaurant come in early um and it is ready to ship uh February 9th, which means that in by the February versus to the end of March, which is uh good news.

The contract are happy about that.

Can uh spend a bit of an update.

I think we were saw this in progress last month.

Kind of uh full circle kind of if you could vision green you um the side or about nine percent of the side is it's kind of the same thing saw last week last month.

Uh the small uh uh um holes you see around here is trees will be installed on uh uh the 14th of the uh the tree keepers of which Larry Siminsky Uber.

Um ground has been completely looking still a little bit of a little bit rough because I installed the uh uh the placer uh safety surface.

We're gonna hold off a little bit of that because we don't encourage people at this point to the park.

So the equipment is there at least bare bones right now.

The swings are not installed on, but it's gonna look a lot so we get the mulch and um the pick is still scheduled for the March.

Other than that, we're seeing that by the February except for the picnic shelter where the place is gonna look it's just gonna look winter.

I'm sorry.

Can I have a couple questions?

You said street keepers is gonna be the 14th of March now.

February yes, it will be this weekend and because shovel that far into the ground right now.

Um I didn't think they were gonna get it done.

Okay.

So it's February 4th.

Yeah, we tried like I said, we tried the other plant trees.

Sorry.

Plant back that's we have in the context that that day 14th is voluntary people come out anyway.

We got some groups.

And then I guess is a question for and rate see there.

Um I don't know if it would be appropriate before the shelter.

But if possible, look at a March ribbon cutting.

I asked that because I mean if the back I asked that because March third would be if possible.

It it's really uh up to the council on what will you not have finished one?

possible look at a March ribbon cutting I asked that because I mean if the bathroom I asked because March third would be if possible again if it's not it it's really up to the council on what will you not have finished at that point we um the the shelter will not be in um picnic tables for the I don't know if it's put out for then but I mean you're still gonna have a winter look to it it's you know photograph it's gonna be still rough so do you all if a possibility you know we can push it to what just knowing birthday is the third of talk about it and see what we could do if not that we have thing out there for his birthday okay and I've got that date ready um uh an update on their SMS report and uh sport is presented as a information and requires no additional thank you uh next item a quarterly reports something we do every this is the quarter report of this fiscal year this year park sports and fitness Elizabeth program and the Franklin Gateway complex um start I what I had a few uh reporting uh since and make the report uh uh as uh as we're concerned so previously the revenue for Custer Park sports and fitness porter parks program uh we'll report recreation um and so the report uh uh this quarter uh now reports to our city financial report uh the reporting for fiscal uh 265 so that change any of the financial um timing of when the final are reported um uh our recreational reflex uh we received at the time of option and your finance reports like when the credit card settled uh actually that just an example uh why we made the so uh transaction was completed on decide first uh software that uh in the finance uh but did not actually record that until January the first they are um uh uh the two statements so just really was made uh just to reduce any error uh for two separate system and just to financials are matched the account our cutting software for conciliation purposes um the uh report of revenue sports complex has uh previously supported with the financial report that's unchanged um one of made it frankly sports complex was uh the total attendance previous previous based on uh staff estimate uh uses utilizes a program called place or which measures traffic and at best many people visit the facility each month so we're reporting that instead of and that both last year and this uh the uh frankly uh continue on on staff estimate um so that said just report you can see that you uh we currently increase in total gross revenue of all three recreation uh versus fiscal year at Elizabeth program pleasing concluding but you six daily entrance and a little bit of revenue and that we go another year reconciliation should uh this uh that are open back in uh in May uh prize uh our bachelor's customer park sports and fitness we'll wrap up for the next weekend this year we had 246 players uh in our league uh also sports of fitness center will have owners uh camp week of February 14th 20th where that is full um our next citywide is methering and on Saturday March uh March we'll have two other events sports and fitness center we'll host a bunny brand on March 21st and then we'll have a board game March 28th and this report is presented as a and requires no addition all right the uh the next item is alcohol and street closure reports so this is alcohol sales street closures as part of six season events in 2026 uh there are no approved 2020 request uh exception of two uh the Glover Park concert and art in the park uh for the alcohol request the uh down development is requesting sales be permitted the uh Glover Park concert series the April concert uh the re-made uh ticketed fine tasting event as part of the concert and uh that just as part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Glover Park concert series.

There are no approved 2020 requests of two, uh the Glover Park concert and Art in the Park for the alcohol request, the uh down development is requesting sales be permitted to the uh Glover Park concert series, the April concert uh the re-made uh ticketed fine tasting event as part of the concert, and uh that just as part of the celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Glover Park concert series.

Carolyn Morris is here for the DMDA if you have any requests about that request uh for us.

Uh the request parkers in your minute uh for the uh the closures for North Park Park, South Park, and the association streets um times requests are similar to the victims that were by council in either 2024 or 2025.

Um we have no issues uh five the street closure for West Park and associated with streets is approved for nine o'clock.

Uh the uh and that was a one hour from four requests for ten o'clock year art in the park is requesting to close West Park Streets at 3 p.m.

Um from a staff perspective winning the closure remaining or excuse me, um that was approved.

Um the things um foundation if the street in the park were were approved for 30 as a request that would see all four square street 6 30 Friday night um and then uh according to uh traffic data web West Park Square use uh uh close to 2,000 individuals between the hours of six that would need to be during that during that time.

Um just for information purposes uh number decreases every hour.

So if the closure at seven o'clock p.m.

I would affect a thousand vehicles if the closure happened at PM that would close that would be five hundred viewers for there.

That's the reason for station and care uh Carolyn Morris is is also here in the Mariota Business Association and uh answer any questions um you have about that request um at this time is requesting or staff's council uh uh with the right o'clock uh for Western Associated Restrics uh streets as uh the park has stated.

Okay, so it sounds like we somehow when we art number like it to be when obviously closed staff recommends, so maybe we hear from Carolyn.

Um first of all, let me introduce I am Carolyn.

I am in London at a square.

Um about twenty this year, and then the remainder I've just been like little penny that just went away.

I just stuck around and other events work closely with the staff.

Um so I kind of understand both sides of the fence.

Um I get where he's coming from.

Um so understand that uh opening this um earlier.

Um there's a couple of reasons for that.

Mainly what I'd like to do is um great welcome for the two hundreds that are coming for the weekend.

Um are traveling from out of town six hours.

They're solo um artists that by themselves the earlier would just be ice tape for that.

Um we can certainly do a later club and I can absolutely work with the nine o'clock, but I'm gonna push up as much as I can and try to pull out that welcome at also um if I plan air art in the park is two hundred fine artists for three days set up is morning and it's Saturday and Monday event and the square again at nine o'clock Monday night, which is today.

Um is a top 200 in the country that is voted on local artists.

Um so I am very honored to be a part of that.

Um art in the park is kind of like uh the Atlanta, it's highly recognition and it's highly out after for for the local artists.

Um I know it it's a pushback.

Um I do feel that um as a consumer restaurant and go into the theater, whatever if I work in Marietta Square um one of those restaurants that work probably about 6 30 or 30 o'clock heading home.

Um on the other flip, if I'm at home, I want to meet some square, dinner and then off to the I may come in at 7 30.

What I'm testing is have those figures traveling when I just know for me that if I'm coming in there and I know that the school is closed, that doesn't common.

That just means I need to move as far somewhere else.

If I'm coming down church, you know where it's gonna go right away Cobb County parking.

So don't feel that uh the confusion it's going to be that big, and again, I'm that's me personally.

I can work with that.

The city does a fast job with knowing the community of when streets are fixed, um also have a great on the website that says these are places who can park.

Let's continue to get the information out to the public so they know ahead of time that they may have to come a couple minutes early to park in the desk.

So that's kind of where I'm going on that.

Um and again, I think I mean aligns the break between coming after work and coming in from I also think that um I'm I have moved mountains.

We've we've done great things here.

Um and if this is the presence, you know, I'm I'm completely up for it.

Um there we implemented with the Marietta Police M.

And into the came from the city hall side, all the artists in that way, and I would say I plus on that.

Um those artists came in that they were supposed to, and I can certainly work with the police departments, other that they would like me to do to make this less chaos if there's such a thing.

Um and I can work for the city to make sure that that can get the road.

So that's where I am.

Any questions?

As I say, any questions for I have a question, but it's road closure.

It's on the wine tasted, ma'am.

Um are we bringing some of that?

Are we using one of their businesses?

We the nonprofit is the strand okay.

Yeah, thank you.

Any comments closure differences I I have a question.

Um Eric last few years we've had this have we're at nine p.m.

No, we close at nine o'clock and ten o'clock.

All right, thanks.

This is the event that's required for closure entire year.

Three hundred and sixty days.

Uh road issues.

Anybody are a little longer to say about road suggestions.

What a man as far as I can stay.

Keep the square going.

The council won't, but you know that of the two hundred that are here, they're gonna buy food on the school.

They're gonna buy gas gonna stop and pick up so some money comes back.

It does not give back those parking spaces.

However, you know, there are plans.

Let's see, there's six parking spaces on Northware.

And the absorbed parking space right here at City and then you said I'm sorry.

Yep.

Actually, pretty much we'll entertain a motion to unless anyone's making a change.

Submitted.

That's all you so waiting for the motion.

Oh okay.

So I have a motion to move the request as stated to include the recommendations for your request for Park Square, Woodlock Avenue and Street, Church Street, Street, and we'll keep at 9 p.m.

on Friday number four or twenty six part.

We have a motion to wave a second.

Motion carries for the opportunity and call you up there.

Yeah, show me all right.

Next up will items we're gonna as an opposite order for R on here because one feeds into the other.

Um spend down the approximately nine hundred sixty million dollars rental over.

And so I built out a framework for not the final framework, but best I could do was looking at and think what the appropriate appropriate uses are anything related to park park tourism um purchase, etc.

related to parks.

So this is a basically a blueprint um for discussion for the committee.

I put knowing that this is that used for long-term improvements as I put for improvement six hundred thousand.

I did a hundred thousand years for we have a couple bits here.

We have the twenty fifth nine eleven.

We have uh USA two and then um obviously big big event appropriate use for this fund.

We're a lot of people coming to Mary doesn't take away anything in Marietta but to Marietta.

And then I um placeholder for two for other economic improvement activities that relate to tourism.

It could be required, could be not yeah, in that realm.

So framework I was discussion.

Okay.

Um I'm a member of the Marietta uh the Club of Marietta the the option that does the field of the uh battlefield park one note on here is I have a put in a fifty thousand for USA two type events.

So I think we have one person coming today, coming today.

The other groups will come we know pot of money we want to piece of it, which is but I think we have in terms of how we're type of events that that bucket.

So would it absolutely love any station around this?

I I just want to first um not really sure why it is a disclosure stay in keeping.

I am a Marietta Kawan is clear sponsors to field compensation from that.

Absolutely not on the board from it's for purposes in good faith.

Which is how much approximately nine cents.

There's a more percentage for bill, I believe.

Um it's eight seven to seven.

So nine ninety I'd like to develop a list and go ahead and legal intent.

Um we have to explain uh like response.

Next two weeks.

So use for capital.

Can I you all have got the sheet also?

Do I have that?

I thought I don't see I have that okay.

I'll be glad to send a side buff to George.

That's what I was just saying.

I can give you some motel, it's GA 40-131.

1451.

And then when you're talking about motor vehicle, it's OCGA-133.

Okay, thank you.

Yes.

And the second that's the same the second one.

Because this is the rental um okay, we right thank you for my lot of different codes on which are, but that's allows a promotion of industry trade tourism, capital outflicks, consistent construction of conventional sports, recreation facilities, public safety facilities, including the acquiring construction improving and equipment parking facilities and walkways, plazas, protections and improvements so such engine trades, regular facilities, our public safety facilities of debt issued respect to such prices and then maintenance and operation expenses or expenses as a capital outlay project funded pursuit of the previous section.

Yes, sir.

Can we fund uh and uh I can look it up, but yeah, I think we need to run it the DM come back, but we'll check see and we'll know that one.

But we have to be in terms of general fund right.

Yes, yeah.

Um just one clarify from clarification.

The capital difference is the fact that we can do capital.

But when it's going to be tourism economic development, we can't do it because that's that's restriction under their stuff.

I think they could do uh the council had not wanted to do it.

Uh and so that uh expressed um uh the way that's capital out convention's records, public sector they couldn't acquire construction of those facilities.

Um it would have to be something public.

Okay.

Um maybe be you know, reason that mostly was shot away from use parks for fields with a park smaller.

Now we have an empty so I'll ask you what's the ones 980,000 that's been in the three.

It's it's already so we uh um there's any definitive tenant at this point because we've already done it, so it's as the mayor said as quick as we get done.

That's the same to buildations on how to nationalize the mayor's.

Um sure we could uh splost we could uh have folks bring projects to the next meeting if they would like to consider the framework that um or folks send them in and we'll be I mean we could organize the dollar amount to it.

If people department to present to us, and then we can cut and slash is that the same spot?

We do have we do have projects already on a list uh that we can to to help uh that would deal with the park.

I have one c question from verification.

Tourism economic development does if we're doing a park, does it have to be related to or parks in general?

Uh well outlay projects let me read the okay it doesn't say it right there.

Um capital projects construction of committee sports record facilities, including the inquiry and improving of such facilities.

Uh public improvements associated with facilities or the retirement issued facilities.

I think it would be tourism um the one right says promoting and retrade commerce and tourism.

So if we can see that is related to any of that, that would be cool.

So I'm reading here it says pedestrian walkways.

And then that paragraph is public improvements associated with such convention recreational facilities.

It would additional sidewalks be allowed as a outlay definition.

Well, I think we could uh have ways as part, but that's a question of how we and like your suggestion.

Yeah, um but uh able to walkways with um the actual events that we have there and the the act we have for tourists and businesses.

I think it would be events.

I mean obviously that are right on the square square with that are the events that we've got easy and simple to say hi to it.

Trails might go because the trails to get the events um so to the committee are you have uh parks and record stab at this and help us flesh out a little bit based on the framework.

Yeah, but with your committee to receive suggestions for y'all doing right.

I'm ready.

I have already that's that's the next step.

It's fine with what people discussing as far as to a park.

Yes, I don't think it is, but like customer stuff where you have turn you build it, so you have two.

Yes, sir.

Four or five different smoke.

I mean to frame everything captain.

Yeah.

But you know fully a fly be bird in a specific that didn't exactly end up the way they have been with additional payments that explain that that the could come to and learn that the could use to discuss policy and survey something like park that might be in ward one that got a start never kind of really it's not for our people outside the tourist.

I mean you conduct if you do like the garden like the Sith Gilbert Garden, you end up on Bird Johnson conservation program, and you can like them to we short where they're going, but we can make that work.

We can do Eric write that down.

Sounds like appropriately make a motion to turn that back over to Eric and his team to put it together and bring that back to us.

The park's committee to the committee.

Yep.

So that'll be back that be February meeting.

And then what we take any request outside of that, or we want them to the entire thing.

Okay.

That'd be great.

Absolutely.

We have a second.

Oh sorry.

One question suggestion to you.

Can we get Courtney Virginia on Daniel's team long-range planning as far as trails?

You good with that?

Sure.

Okay.

Yes.

As long as Bill's good with that.

So we have a motion.

Wait a second.

I'll say all in favor.

We have a record from Zion Museum.

Brought to us by the old Zionic Museum seeks the legacy of the year anniversary through the committee of a theatric production revisiting the story of AD slow species.

Uh brave so this initiative is not merely artistic and art of person and have the oil history and li and lived cases of the committee remain visible, respect, embedded within the involved scale.

So you all have a package, they have out what the expenses would be to uh perceived production and also kind of captured the because it is a part of the edges history.

I'd like to disclose I'm a member of Zion Church, but this is kind of old museum and the a board of directors from the old museum uh um for contribution to uh the tax is 22 450 five dollars.

So I have to make this out of what we just discussed.

They're looking in Lemira who's on the board and this is Walker if y'all have questions about the the intent and how they produce it if they can answer those questions.

This would be the last I think go ahead and spend this and then if depart I mean Zam was one of the few things they were open last week for collaboration with uh for your symphony.

They were open last collaboration with the sympathy.

I depend on whether I have to make closures immediately.

Um is for the first money.

Would that be a contract or that just being a current contract that it would be in the current contract?

In that case, all disclosures are done the triumph.

Yes, sir.

So that we'd have that for council.

And we're saying this is from this guessing.

Whatever we I'd like to do in it at least five or six times.

I think forward, I think you're all in very valuable.

My question is what fundamental coming from this hotel motor.

And it's yeah, the it would come well hotel motor three percent auto.

Yeah, yeah, it's clear.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd like to come out of this person budget.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yes, sir.

You can have extra have some extra sitting there.

So uh I'd really like to hear from the Zion uh ladies to come fire up about what we're come on.

Gil is that are gonna sing outstanding resident educators.

My name is Lemuria Adams.

This is Josetta Walker and Joe said it's give you background of what we're trying to do because you're part of the two fifty representing.

We have a great history at Zion Back.

We have a great history in the museum, and we find our area uh business been since eighty eight, and they only pay seventy dollars.

You can find land these days.

So at this time José.

But anyway, I'm just talking and uh I've been a Diane Baptist Church since 1960.

Uh so was there I was a part of the uh establishment of the museum, and we are uh uh I we are uh umbrella of but we have our own uh that thing, five whatever that is.

Yeah, five C three.

And um thank you for your support year just talk a little bit about some of the activities that we have done that we have in uh uh in two for the last several months.

Um I think that I said we said the uh symphony orchestra quartet which was a king uh event tonight.

It's the well attended.

I mean, we were just at to the city.

Uh they have been uh us on all other occasions through the years, not necessarily in space, but in our sanctuary because the uh usually so large um uh by is uh committee group that hosts young people uh young teenagers to older teachers and uh teachers all kinds of social etiquette, if you will.

So uh they come to see us.

We go to see on a regular basis and interact with uh this year every year.

We do black programs uh that take different uh topic and floor them with people who are interested in we're doing that again.

Invited um and then of course uh you probably heard of these you you may have participated in the cares conference that is held by our uh in every year.

This would be the third and the them is one of the announces of that regular program.

Uh we have around two participants on a second and very well received and much much needed.

April April 17th.

And this was uh we hear uh play uh 10 years sponsored Zion, which was written by a former president uh teacher in the Cobb County System, and what you have heard of it, but who may not know is that that it was presented in Broadway then we were able to get the rights to it to here in thousand sixteen and that was presigned 150th.

So what we want to do as a part of our nation 200 and 20th ended again and we are hopeful will in your heart are good to us with with that particular is going to be performances Saturday twenty-seventh at the Marietta Arts Center at a high school uh two performance today.

Two performances two performances same days, same day, yes.

One two o'clock and one and we could we are gonna have the performance going to have a support for you if you grant us this opportunity to go into the technology area along with uh uh performance.

It's gonna be really great.

You need anything for very have your paperwork with the proposed budget.

Um we are very looking forward to this uh the list is being as we and the um those are gonna begin next week in March.

Be wonderful.

Yes.

Notice on your seven thousand us would be for the performing arts per farming art performing art center, maybe all of their technology and all the technology.

Recorded.

Oh, yeah, recorded on the photographer uh his uh very C one that uh we have used many times before uh um his area.

The uh very C one that uh we have used many times before uh um his area he will be with us and your second sheet you that um bear wouldn't honorary on salaries be given to any because all of these people are non national the amateur, but they all have histories I know of the last 2025 years uh areas that we have them assigned.

Tell them about the uh director.

Well, the artist is Dr.

Ronald and she artistic director the ten years ago, and uh she was and retired last year and had been telling me we wanted to do the end and um this is where we are teaching as well.

Performing as well.

She can sing and she can dance.

She might do a dance.

I'm not sure, but she's not that much anymore.

But she went to the building or in July this no twenty-seventh.

And we're asking would tell your friend here today.

The big of O Zion Museum.

Many of you know the Baptist Church uh Mother and we got a lot of country from maybe right uh um their archives and we also have some uh um uh artifacts always enjoying to see the artifacts they have especially uh the old telephone the wash tubs and drinking water out of the they can't believe bathrooms everyone has tell them everyone would have the the number eight ten tub you had ten people in everyone would have in the same water can you imagine so come you're talking to an own house, so she's uh talking about what she are there any other questions.

I just want to say for coming out and sharing it because uh you bring it to light when you guys are talking about it.

So uh really it's truly been since uh we're trying to pass the talk quite a bit to some other people, but we're around.

We'll tell you is that all that's all thank you.

Okay, any further order.

I undertain a motion to 25,000 dollars or move on to council approval of 25 dollars for this event.

Second, I guess I made the motion.

Second so is it approved or the has to be approved as a regular yes, sir.

I've got a council before okay.

Consent that's good.

With that the creation and tourism is adjourned, the judicial legislative order second properly move to approve the necessary further discussion on this raise right hands three the uh next item business option of the 2020 rules and proceedings of council.

This is something that uh this has to do uh when it comes into play.

The current versus that the mayor said with some changes.

Uh I'm correct, Mayor.

Uh, would you like to go any of those?

No, I can't be able to do it.

No, that copy okay.

But March you know, if we can't agree it won't be so these changes or that might have been the change from four years ago.

Uh I don't think we made any changes four years ago.

I don't think so.

I think these were suggesting suggestions.

I didn't look at or wherever you keep it.

Um is there any notion of maybe the members of the council as a whole do you have any?

I just saw something not sure.

Okay.

It does.

All right.

A quick yes, sir.

Yes, someone forward.

Yes, speakers ourselves, but I don't think we've ever practiced that's why I wonder if we're not going to be able to my reticence point.

Um are you talking about in the old code or the final result?

I don't know what we have done.

I think that's my caring part is for the presenter because it's not an agenda.

And that's goes back and forth.

I think we can make something item and send it out.

I think that'll be deleted.

Yeah.

With the question of the rule added on there.

And that's for our and for Robert's rules and for that.

And our after rules of proceed uh procedure uh under our code.

Yeah, yeah.

Whenever we have a speaker up the unschedule appear the unscheduled appearance is what speaking, it's you it's to be understood.

We don't we're not required expected to remove that time.

We're just we're listening to what they have to say.

And if they bring up something require vote, we can't that's not fair to anybody.

Yeah.

I don't know, but um if we do that would we should leave it, but where it's not a sign well the topic of the speaker agenda item.

No discussion or council is required.

Maybe that should permit it.

I mean simply not possible thing.

Because it would be in create a new agenda.

So it's not required.

It's not permissible.

And I I would even while I was taking this for the initial organizational meeting or should be expected.

It's just it should be rejected that we should respond to that either.

Something that at the at a meeting on the discussion without without the breadth of a full time items go through uh our zonings have the thing where we have a full but for other items we start at the committee level or session where we have to wait to have a full discussion and not the thing on an exact meeting night.

So the it's fair the idea is full time and full.

So uh something along those lines need to be very clear with regard to whenever we're speaking that we're not if they're speaking to a not or not on the agenda yet.

So we might it might be something we take up the committee level or the next more at a future meeting.

But it's probably not gonna be if it's a new.

And this should be scheduled and ungedding.

Yeah.

But they have bringing up the right.

If you catch somebody's bringing up next month.

Um we'll know one line says if a speaker's item on the consent agenda that consent agenda items from the consent agenda.

I'm worried about into the any someone who if we've had a full in the item at the committee appropriate meeting and put it on the agenda.

Someone could just say uh who may just say to all items on the agenda, yes, and everything on consent is off.

Um that I think our current one it g it gives the council the option to take it off if they think it's appropriate if it's up.

Um I think that's the way it should should be the council appropriate to the agenda agenda.

That's probably how it should be rather than automatically speaker bring it up.

Uh currently if a speaker is taking an item up uh in their unscheduled appearance.

Scheduled appearance is beginning.

When someone brings an items already on, it can remain on consent, but a council one whether you or the members of the council can remove it from consent since the consent agenda they believe it's appropriate to the proposal here make that the sp the speak speaker the that item is automatically removed agenda for rule of council.

Yes, it can be uh one like I said, someone can just say I saw items on the agenda then they're all watched all over again.

Can we start again?

So uh a different point of view.

I understand where you come from what put it on consent to uh is that appropriate previous money committee meeting.

But the order vote always moved and people say problem I mean then that decision is really about my opinion.

And and for me it's trying to move the ability to remove from consent by a member or by member of the governing body is just it's the rule of the space for someone who's of the body an ability to remove the consent.

That's where the concern comes from.

If a member of council is speaker, they could remove that consent since the data on consent yet.

Oh, okay.

So it can't be done by speaker.

Yes, but if someone hey, I'd like to hear it.

Yeah, someone can ask something if a council member agrees say I remove it.

So I I think it should be take again again if a council speakers council member if the speaker speaking.

Does that make more sense?

Well, it makes sense that's my follow-up question.

So when they speak to an member council says I'd like to remove off doesn't then generate any additional on it the public, it would be then us requires.

Um but it allows the I guess the could then turn it in the table.

You could discuss so it'll be for discussion within the body uh per these things is proposals that allow the public to speak um having in there, and you could theoretically I open it up a pseudo hearing on, but that would be up to the chair to do that on that table.

It's um it can allow for more discussion if someone if say we'd like to get that from the consent agenda it will come up for discussion again because it's on the budget point with without being if we don't approve it tonight, we still got paid where you go.

Yes.

So one um under unscheduled um under the units on uh second page just as a head and extraneous um opening on that first line uh there's a parentheses open right before the R.

Um near the bottom each speaker will be allowed a maximum of five minutes in a presentation for a cumulative 20 minutes for the unscheduled portion that's the the other time 30 minutes else fact same paragraph.

That was I think everything is conflicting.

We probably need switch to the consistent paragraph minutes.

Um the red line change public session will be adjusted from thirty minutes being or no further speak forward before the 30 minutes.

Umstead of saying public portion of scheduled appearance will upon uh it's being exactly subject to extension per these or no further speakers come toward the end of the 30 minutes.

Very next thing allows us to extend the time or the overall time by a vote of the body of the body subject to general veto.

Um so just to 30 minutes can be expended, it has to be expected for these and otherwise if it comes up it can be adjourned.

So that's a suggestion on that section right that addition there.

So I have a question.

So but in item three, we're gonna to the public sessions as well.

No change that's the reason I said uh on the 30 minutes adding in that two extension per these rules.

That three allows for extension of time period.

We could allow to finish off their one more thing this minute left, and we agree it would be important to hear the one we could extend to one minute, and now it'd be one minute scheduled appearance with a based speaker.

So it's just uh it's a recognition it's 30 minutes subject to a under the the rules we're adopting here.

Okay.

So allow for it.

Um page three.

There was a subsection that was proposed to be at the um and um this is the one talking about I'm allowing a member of speak from time to time on a specific issue.

Um discretion of the chair and general non-vote consent of governing body body exactly that the chair um is it a committee.

I think it'd be easier to say and say governing body um of council slash committee to be consent uh just for consistency within that paragraph.

So it's the commit the committee committee to allow that or not.

And as thing with Robert's a ruling if the bo if the body disagrees to override, the applicable body yes.

I think that's probably uh public body or applicable body slash committee which would mean committee.

Yeah.

Something to make sense it's the the body the body the to which the item is um yes sir.

Um that the those appearance follow those rule it's article two.

Um I'm going to think the rules just means it's probably going to be a five minute uh five minute speaker for having a speaker.

The time there are two different times in the thing based on what the are unscheduled.

Um specify a maximum thirty if we hearing like that but that's better call it with the maximum time for speaker set by the two census of body or something like that.

But the public hearing is a Mr.

Haining.

So the cap is just the body on how much time committee meeting we can say, you know, you can come down to speak and the next thing you can have that it's a speak.

Should there should be limits on that something we probably should about uh part as part of that, or do we need to just leave it at the discretion of the committee um with time with the time being by the city attorney?

J just want to make sure there are different time things article, so I want to make sure we're clear what's what being pulled.

I I again of my head at this moment is we have a developer tell the developer, you know, come in speak, but then what if there's somebody in the audience who goes, yeah, but I want to speak.

Are we doing equal time?

Are we turning basically into a de facto hearing?

Yeah, because this just says member of the coming on down.

It doesn't talk during uh hearing per se this is just someone speaking.

Are we turning it into facto on speaker?

So that that's the that's the final part of the worked out I'd like to see th I'd like to see everyone's thoughts on that because right now it says the article two and this is dealing most scheduled appearances.

Uh having something that says have someone come speak, probably we can borrow the rules.

It's just what countries within is that need that need to address.

Answer the question asks and they go persuasion, then you're pointing to the whatever of the public then knows well, I'd like classification.

And do we give them also time to or or ask the questions at that to that?

I I'm not to allowing people to ask questions.

I also want to kind of be cognizant of could mean I mean we're it's seven.

And we still have two committees.

I mean, if we'll come down eight, come down and speak, is the limitation to not what is the rules of which need to be.

And that's what I mean, trying to get point on and I understand making sure everything in here that's how that can be uh my guidance outside of just saying refer reference article two.

It's almost like an unscilled speaker, but it's how on an eye or committee.

And you good based on what and what not plus on zonings, I'm that you have a special hearing even shows up on the agenda and someone gets approved.

Um that's supposed to vote.

I think we're all that, but if everyone why can't I think of the less on the question closing the street?

Yes.

We had a speaker speaking whether or not we should close the work.

And somebody in the audience was like, Well, to speak about that, I don't think we should do it.

So now we've got things going on.

She was here to give us on why she wanted the closure.

What if somebody was in the like man, this is ridiculous closing the streets?

My hand do I get to come information versus uh uh trying to opinion.

Right.

But we don't do right.

We do those as a public or hearing of anybody.

So when does if we're at the general public comes in, would the general public have the opportunity to say that you know there's closure thing.

She got to speak, I don't get to speak and I'm I'm just worried that we can open it up.

We need to have to be we're gonna be here Wednesday.

This might be in this one.

We have to if we have to get the get the rules passed last time and I'd be able to get for uh full thing, so that might be something we have to amend a late uh later if we have to in order to adopt rules.

Just uh um something that you think that's something we need to need to be chewed on a bit.

And if your thoughts together and work on that, please between weeks' time this is before.

One point uh on this uh is that what we have on actually on the web is not what you're uh and that language specific would be what's the current language?

The chair of a county committee meeting may allow member of the public time to time specific issue at the chair non-vote consent and committee members uh for a maximum of speaker unless extended by the chair with the of the committee by such as should general rule these are provisions in the event such speakers take opposing side issue, and equal number of opposing speakers allow out on each side of the total of four speakers, which would be speakers on each other.

That's totally different.

We need that language, please get that that very helpful send to us for next time this for us, please probably send it to it out to you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Like it was made mainly for meetings.

I'm gonna affect that don't do that.

We we need we need to take a look.

But I think it is for the committee bills.

Yeah, I suppose we heard all that people who can't suspect.

If you get people right protest and then not be speaking, and I can and I'm guessing we also can see probably also considered the fact that work session was originally called the committee poll.

So I'm thinking of the committee meeting agenda, I would guess.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm I'm I'm guessing it's the reason why the there's my thing on that to make it clear.

Um I think we need to have a game we'll talk about we'll at the future comes up.

Uh the uh article.

There's uh five uh responsible for conducting hearing keeping time administering the oath here.

Um the only on this one uh what the city attorney is meeting then perform those in the sense of several city attorneys, so someone would always be okay.

Yeah, so just assist attorney or the system.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, or do we have that or is or there's something like that?

Would you be designated who's gonna cut that would help me up?

Um for the consent on the five portion uh I I prefer the uh agenda language keep as previously um uh uh regarding the public the items well.

I think we have a standing objection from the uh mayor, I think you jack to anything with public such it can't go on consent.

That's the reason why I highlight it because I know you you you prefer on I'd still prefer the to for a few to have that, even though I know this council with the always called a curing can sent on this council.

It never should well go now if we table it might consent where we can do that or the the that's been our room and yeah and the uh that's part of the reason why preferred language as it was mostly because it allows for might have had a public hearing and go on to consent.

This case it would be to take to go on to go on basically the public hearing.

Yeah, because that's a different form of option.

So for me, keeping the way it was to allows us to be able to continue the practice of being able to go through doing that canton item that would have otherwise hearing and put it on agenda.

I have a question.

So it says that the the speaking the speaking are to be sworn in we usually do that.

I generally don't do unless we know that a lawsuit kind of uh content because you uh an issue two people here then sit down then.

I have not been doing but if I see a suit coming, I think I mean it has a questions I'm thinking of when we had the people that were speaking uh that were not necessarily uh involved in situation with the departments.

You remember they were coming in and that we can ask this is the attorney.

Can the council ask all these questions where you speak for your person whether they represent an orange or the staff and organization government who who can't ask the questions?

Is that attorney or it is do they have standing have an interest in the so I would think you would lend if it you know if president of an organization or neighbor neighborhood that whether they are acting to come up and speak or whether they're uh representative speak?

No.

Not at all.

What do you mean?

Standing means interest in the current uh says property owning or the land I guess I would want to know that this is a person or they are to a a cause.

The rule the rule the rule is present as a it just says the person council may be state the following information.

Yeah.

With it being a May they don't unless the council's asking.

My question is can we ask the attorney acting?

If we are interested in a it depends on the council might choose to do that because if we ask if we want the council we can do it if we read to ask that's our saying that these we want these questions answered each time.

I'm gonna play devil here.

So you ask me they don't answer.

Does it mean they don't get to I guess my is at the end of the difference does it make?

You're here speaking for you or on behalf of a so we ask the question and don't answer.

We can't stop the thinking.

It's an open meeting meeting.

That has on time.

But we say to them, well, if you're not gonna tell us who you represent or whether you represent yourself or you can't speak to that, could we?

So the bottom line we can ask questions, but they don't have to be answered.

There isn't anything to make any difference whatsoever.

We could make it in how you evaluate what we're doing.

Yeah, it's important to know.

Yes, uh Daniel with Daniel on how it can be viewed.

That it's not perclusive, but it would go to it.

Whether credible do we see the speaker and stuff like that, because if not going to answer question how much do you want to take take into taking the stuff that could it be good.

I guess in the court term goes more to in that case.

Uh wait.

We're town with 60,000 and we're town of a hundred.

Somebody came tonight when they're talking about store that the county that don't close the street yet to work.

I mean that's right.

Oh yeah, too.

I would state of Georgia to be agree except it's just or someone street only care about is how they don't care about the issue.

That guy can not vote for me.

Right.

We don't do that, mayor.

Put it for me.

I'd say I'd say namely because of that final piece we need more direction from the staff off.

March council meeting correct correct.

Right.

It's gonna be in March.

And you it falls back.

I would say it's back to the February uh JL committee.

It's in progress.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We yes, sir.

So back to Article number five.

We're saying the city attorney may administer the oath to a speaker.

Um probably better to add a file like a public to a five A and five then the attorney uh uh the A'll be responsible for a public hearing and keeping time.

Okay.

And then five B the city attorney administer an oath to or something or if this require if it's not required, the city attorney child minister.

That'd probably be the language we're looking at.

But can you help me with that language, please though, Ms.

First we would like to know is a pocketbook cities Maryetta or his pocket book.

Um over the next month, take a look at it.

Um send out the current rules, please and you'll have the editable and get this back before the committee and council at the February committee.

Motion to take motion tables and properly moved and second.

This is a motion part of discussion there is called all in favor of hand.

Uh next item amendment to the city code 882.

Distance and error requirements for alcohol beverage general chairman.

Thank you.

Okay.

This hearing that staff has requested this uh be removed from the is there any objection for the member?

No.

The item has the item is skipped over discussion.

Um phase two.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Approval of the flat for their which is their for this project.

Uh for the benefit of new council when you have a development like this that involves public infrastructure.

Uh the process goes preliminary plat with city council for approval plat.

That final plat comes to the site work is done for building permits are allowed to be cancelled uh them to begin going to verbal or construction.

We do have a revision plat that in your package.

If you'll look up screen, you'll see a final plat.

The only difference that you'll see here what you have and what's on the screen is that the sidewalk wall covers the entire roadway.

Um that issue addressed has no concerns receiving this um for approval.

Before I ask for this is a war this is Ward 2.

What's for example for the change change was just discussion between staff and helper about being the sidewalk previously the sidewalk only stopped here and did not down this portion of the way only on this side.

Now they've finalized to make sure that uh covers both sides of the street.

Seems like right thing to do.

Thank you.

Okay.

Um is there any discussion uh committee or council whole and if not for a motion motion to approve properly made in second of this item, which should be moved forward to the Wednesday recommended approval.

Um, yeah.

This is not before a public hearing uh final consent.

We can have a vote on it first.

Further is discussion on this hearing none, the question is called all those in favor, please raise your right hand.

The motion passed unanimously.

Is this consent?

Yeah.

It shall be placed in the agenda.

Next item of business is sections to O2 Sanitary Sewers.

Again, Mr.

Chairman is uh being for discussion staff section thirty-two, that is the required section related to uh throughout the there is a that uh sanitary sewer quite detailed that means about availability feet, uh hundred feet of frontage and some other as well.

The uh the Marietta Mary or Cobb determines the ability of excite.

Um the um uh the public health determines if the issues related to the site to use of septic and so we've run into conflict where those two are okay with it, but if you the zoning code lead somebody to it should go through variance process.

Uh this language is in code and has been some time um before there were really advanced reviews of those groups communicated together.

Um and so that was a to revise such a way that would really give them the authority to make concerning accepting tech tanks rather than it to either BZ um or for variances where there would be some conflicts between these three different groups.

So that's why this is where you uh but I'm not gonna answer any questions that you have.

Are there any questions?

Yeah.

I just want you to read that last bit that you said before maybe between groups.

There's conflict, shouldn't it come before us?

So well I less meant between those two groups more of a situation.

Let's say um create a water was okay using septic, the Department of Public Health was, but because of the zoning um board of zoning appeals were not okay with it.

Or so uh if it board of zoning appeals and proof septic, I wish those groups disappeared.

Uh pure zoning standpoint, I think staff felt this was a zoning issue and more a water issue.

So that's why we've framed it the way we have to.

Okay, thank you.

Any other questions members of the body and then members of the council as a whole?

Mr.

Chair, just from a procedure standpoint, because this is a change.

Um if council want to move this forward forward to advertise and then as met with uh commission and then coming back to you in the form of hearing before it was I have a question for you though.

Yes.

Um what in the development project is what's the where is it?

Rob again is it the defeat, is it the half, or is it the uh uh so we ran into at least the three of them lose on development?

It's a development project where uh the road frontage of a hundred height, um but there was sewer within five hundred feet truly available was deemed not accessible by Marietta.

And so we were reading this code can read it in such a way where they're determined overrides, but it's you could also a different way and a bit of conflict between those are the issue initially.

Yes, sir.

Still seems like type council ultimately.

I went sure I was asking to begin.

So who's an arbiter with these conflicts?

You're saying staff would be right now?

Uh currently the zoning code, it would be BZA or county depending upon where how it impacted.

Most of these issues would the board of zoning.

If this was it would essentially give that authority to Marietta Water and also to the public health.

That's something that's determined by the study.

Um is the half lots requirements already in other sections, like that requirement for the third.

Um normally I think you merged enough lot to allow for tank to actually be on there.

Yeah, that's right.

That's something that we would look to the health in the situation.

If this language was all we'd be making that determined that that is something that's that the size of the lot and the look, that that's that's that's probably my going pure over to some probably just making sure about size for a skeptic on that.

The uh availability is determined by the uh thing, and if they can't available, they can't make it a road frontage.

I get a feeling of the side of the acreage is a little bit more important than the road for you can get something to the lot of these that came from new organizations and those standards have evolved over the course of time as well.

So I think into some standards that they used to have and a little bit differently now that's part of the reason for the um it would either be keeping in something about that the age size of the lot so that we don't get something that might get too small on that end.

The standards they're being used are so I can understand and understand that fully us.

That's my opinion.

That may not be the will.

My thought is if the professionals have looked at it said yes.

So no public do separate.

If they I think that the staff can handle the standard and saying, yep, let's get go ahead.

I think the only problem that it would need to come is if there was a conflict and it doesn't seem like that conflict comes.

Those groups in whatever, and then to approval board says, uh, but we don't there.

I think I'm hearing is that those two groups work together to either approve or do whichever is appropriate can look at that and you know upping our calendar writing every scheduled speaker.

We can cut it down by do some stuff I'll for that in one of these scenarios.

Um in the case where Marietta said it was available, they would have to put it in.

Well health department had an issue shot.

And if the health department had an issue, they wouldn't be allowed to septic in a water said that available or not it would operate.

Um yes, sir.

This is a modernization.

Professionals Marriott Power and Cobwater and Public Health.

I mean it's my question.

If we have conflict also between the bodies, most likely be some discussed at the board electronic and if then it's gonna come to I would their current standards just so I uh I can understand what the current um motion on this item can you ask one of just include like order we have conflict septics.

Yeah, and this doesn't anything about the wells that's correct.

Okay.

Subsection B of the is to the main part of the uh with while removing the requirements, just make sure to health and do you marry it on or cop county water depending on the service there?

Correct that is correct.

Question of the second for clear um the approval means approved advertising or maybe direct advertising they want to say.

To direct yes so that is that your motion?

Yeah, yeah.

Is there a second is there any further discussion item?

Um because I can't I want to keep hearing the information first off.

Uh but I would probably ask for until like until we action.

Okay.

What the difference is saying that was my um is there any further hearing none of the question is called I'm all in favor.

Please raise your hand right.

Yes, sir.

Next is the code amendment seven fourteen signs section point oh four or oh eight on merriad assignment as part of the um by members of my family.

Property with the downtown area to sign.

Thank you again, Mr.

This is another situation where staff is bringing forward and proposed uh changes.

Uh is a downtown myriad district.

As some of you call several years ago, the state of Georgia changed the procedures law require that various areas to go through a public processment uh and the like uh council made a lot of changes in order to our processes for that zoning procedures along.

This is the one that's that's outstanding, and it is related to decisions of the historic board you specifically relate to like um sign behind the downtown.

That body does not operate in a way, um has the public process and notification and so for that reason staff is proposed, it would be a modification of the ordinance, which would be uh a good bit variance language, then proposing that move that variance language to the guidance of the historic border, uh which would bypass the need the variance process um and you know uh the confusion.

The second piece of this which you'll notice in there that we are proposing striking a section definition in this section.

We have another section twenty-four within the general sign ordinance.

There are definitions that are conflicting, there are definitely that are certainly um uh and incomplete well.

Um, we'll say is staff has been about modifying 24 and incorporate some of the definitions that we have here in 7.

And we are pushing on some of those changes.

Uh and so to that um any action would be an alction to guys for a public hearing decision.

Uh but staff also could take between now and next to work on 724 or to change some definitions as well.

Uh but Mr.

answer any questions about proposal that's before you tonight.

Any questions of the committee?

Question again, one of the things you see doing this would really confusion do we have I suppose uh community is maybe not the right word.

What it would do is it would issue related to the HBR.

So it would apply a lot of things that they regulate their guidelines, which is purview uh you know, whether you know, for all type aspects related to signage, incorporate that there make those decisions it would not necessarily require them to have public hearing process and the rest.

That brings up my next question as you said it would regulate within the guidelines.

So we now codifying their lines to no longer guidelines or we have reference within the amendments to their existing guidelines.

So I think what we're doing was be just their existing guidelines that they utilize about next within the downtown.

I I guess that was done on the sign ordinance.

Um change it's one thing that there are guidelines and they may not fully them the full sign ordinance.

What ought to my thought.

And this is just a point, and it may be unnecessary.

There are other elements of the signals that would expire variance.

There's a whole section.

This is purely to those things with related to the town aesthetic approval.

Other elements related to the sign ordinance that we have applicable and would still for you.

So they're they're basically able to it's gotta be this if it's on an audience this kind of it's more aesthetic than regulation.

That's correct.

You know, I think I sat sign orders and there's historically on the inside your foot away from the went through that where people come on the inside and draw up an order to members that you're talking about.

Went through that where people come on the inside and draw up an order to remember what you're talking about.

You know, people I think that uh the specifics of the scenario giving, but yes, those would kind of things that they would be taking.

We have had the issue where regulating the inside they're regulating the outside, I think things that out are exactly what they're talking about.

So if it was goes through the window, correct.

For me on for me on this, right?

If you're going to want to do a reference to the reference back to the ordinance or powers within the ordinance, rather than the adopted guidelines even within the ordinance, it still says those guidelines may not a shot.

It's probably better to back to their instead.

If there's stuff in here that's not in their ordinance, that gets lost between the adoption and the adoption of their ordinance.

And working on the thing, uh there's not going to be an issue with having this hold off one more month, this information.

Yeah, absolutely not.

We're happy to do that through and make those.

Yeah, because I'm good.

I can see what just a lot of it is in some stuff being added.

I just want to make sure we understand exactly what the effect of each are going to happen.

And I want to make sure I'm understanding it to a final to a vote on the so how about entertainment to the federal thing.

So move.

Um this is non-discussion, but I'll just check if you have anything else to say about temporary meeting.

It's good.

Here okay.

February committee meeting meetings unanimous.

Next is the D plan revision for the Cog Keeler Woods site.

Thank you Mr.

Chairman.

Um ask Shelby has pulled up uh from the memo that you and the staff report uh clear way to this uh outline what is.

So Elliot Holmes, which is the developer cottages at Keeler Wood.

Um you'll see here they have that into two phases.

Uh the first phase is in blue, outlined image above.

Phase two, which was added editor and and approved an additional ten home.

So at the uh phase one, uh the yellow lines show where the initial sidewalk was.

So it was coming in off of the side of the and then around in the uh where my red marker is on the screen right there.

And then as they brought in two, the phase two plan uh initial and extension of the site where it ends at one, and then all around the cul-de-sac right here.

And then the plot was approved, it did the entire green that you see, but it also included the pink shown here as well.

And so Elliot coming uh and request uh needing to not have to go sidewalk a little bit.

It's highlighted ahead on areas uh to be consistent with the phase of their development sidewalk on one side street only.

And I do believe we have uh representative from Elliot Holmes here to uh elaborate to do so choose.

The will of the public who have some counseling go up and speak, or would you want discussion within the body?

I would love to hear from I'm not hearing any so are y'all good.

Um correction phase one, if you see uh right here.

This lot owner has been completed for about three years.

This side terminated here down to the south side, walk straight.

It was only on one street.

This never was there.

Uh when Burns came in and did two flat has it starting there on their lot one going up terminating there.

And start sidewalk there going across homeowners in the net uh would be the grass, the corner that owner lot twenty-sex gonna come out of pocket sidewalk that is not necessary.

Uh the net uh would really like to just keep the side one side of the street as well as them two uh bircher homes is about four of their concrete for those two areas.

Um so it was a little less communication one to phase two when Bercher Homes go concrete that they were by the city that they for those sites there.

We uh uh city if we could turn the sidewalks to the streets we were informed no uh and so we'd just like to do about those sidewalks and those unnecessary areas.

If anybody questions uh are there any questions at the committee or the whole I I have a question to clarification.

You said that you the city did you turn sidewalks to think what exactly did that does that mean.

Um do we have the other submitted picture?

Y'all might have in front of you as well.

Yeah, right there.

Is that a one's last page document on the agenda?

Yeah, these two right there please.

Uh a little better illustration here where the side it would be that other one.

Perfect.

This is what is existing, and if you look on uh the lot right here, that's where the sidewalk terminate and just stop right there.

Correct, as well as this walk going down right there because lots 29 and twenty or twenty-nine not putting a sidewalk sidewalks there useless.

Again, you'd come in.

We're proposing on the page scroll down is to keep neighborhood development one and walk all the way there, terminate it there, come up here, bring it down, terminate it there, the homeowners could grow to get on the side and just keep development whole.

So my question is if I might um we need one um are these walks there?

No, ma'am.

Those are the red zones trees.

No, the thing going street.

Uh just part of the drawing.

That's probably just uh looking at the lines.

Is that what that side there yes, ma'am?

Sewer lines.

So I'm a question you said that 28 and 20 minutes were not planning sidewalks.

Uh that's how we are initial uh platform in 2021.

It was submitted that where we were coming down this entire side with sidewalk at a time.

Bircher came in and developed phase two and keeping with some of the neighborhoods on one side coming from the other, we're proposing come around and do the same thing.

So we residents who live there, let's say they want to mountain view.

They have to cross here across the street.

There's only one we have a gateway here, and then there's one western gate, so that they cross to get out pedestrian gate anyway.

Also a will be a uh there's already pedestrian gateway at the end of uh uh um uh not w uh Wember zone here at the Wakehurst.

Um there's a pedestrian gate on Wake jumping out onto pole and then uh to the left of uh uh we'll have other pedestrian gateway heading out to pedestrian gate pedestrian gate there and there's gonna be another one here.

Another question the stormwater detention area there yes and then north of that.

That's that's a built-out there, correct?

Talking about right, sir.

Okay.

The last one uh Bircher Home is completing as two, which are on the west side of that street.

Okay.

And that's that detention already landscaped as well.

Um, before we did talk to a bunch of owners in there to see your thoughts on having more stocks were like how it's currently on one side around the questions of the developer?

Keep closed because we have questions or any questions.

Um the body um is there any other quite on this one?

I question uh okay.

Yes.

So um how many of the properties are occupied we have lots two and three will start down uh here now one through twenty seven here.

Uh one, two, and three lots four and five are occupied.

We'll be out hopefully there.

Lot is occupied by nine, ten are occupied.

Eleven are occupied, thirteen occupied is available will be built out this year.

Um will be built out the twenty-two, three, twenty-four, twenty twenty twenty-six all occupied eight of the ten and community occupied.

Okay.

Thank you.

Just having you know, you got two sidewalks and so there.

I've looked at people I'm gonna do.

Yeah, no, uh it would hinder the development.

It look uncomplete, incomplete, uncheded when you sidewalks somebody's yard.

Yeah, I'm confused.

I thought you all wondered to end there and this is host here, yes, sir.

This is the proposal.

Yeah, you see right here how this runs down their line and dead ends stop to our line 27 homeowners' yards.

Sidewalk would pick up across the detachment and just on our twenty-eight property.

Yeah, I would walk near the roof anyway if you could.

But that'd be a good safety.

But stop and show it under your own.

It's just a continuous yellow job.

Thank you, sir.

I always like some time would have loved to have the whole thing.

Correct.

Like if it's gonna look better, it does look like it will from the proposed.

I just should just have any sidewalks.

Is that a private or is that a public off the mainness?

That is correct.

So it's a private annex off the it'd only be four houses there.

Correct.

Um question.

That's a gated duty.

It's not time.

Um you anticipate not closed because of you.

Uh like I said, uh birch about out of there out of there in the next three months.

That's limit a lot of the public already.

Then we'll be building it out to this year and probably have a more year, and then we'll be closed from route o'clock.

Yeah.

And ward, correct.

Um the comment you want to I mean.

This yesterday and there are gaps that could differ from developers, there are gaps.

That's up there ends.

Also it's in the gate or south of Wimberland.

I mean, it's a really awkward scenario.

But the reason I asked the gate was traffic stops there, so it conceivably is safe.

It's future residents here on these spots to just cross.

Yeah, and and I'll admit I had some of the concerns I had the fact that some of the you have to have some of the residents now have to cross the main to get to the sidewalk create a pedestrian get close to end.

And with that being right near the end of the development, that's where the most track trying to go on through.

That's kind of where my concern with not having sidewalks even through lots twenty thirty on through uh twenty-seven uh comes from pay for the sidewalk twenty six that homeowners for three years.

And she doesn't sidewalk on the side of the sidehouse because all the living up she her front door single one of those homeowners take the long loop on the sidewalk.

Same thing with phase two development, them out, hit the walk and loop down.

Next time okay.

Um the uh saying that's from that end.

The uh two if the time to be there be a crosswalk along the lines that would have you gone to have something someone drive three people crossed there.

Yeah, no crosswalks.

Asking if that's what I'm asking as part of this look at maybe would that be something that might be third crosswalk there if that's appropriate to that might be a main uh crossing effect.

That would be something I would you know, I wouldn't be a crosswalk to be honest in that no.

It's uh and like councilman Gaddis said it's the gate community that doesn't have uh cross in it already.

Um it was approved one was approved like that, and then phase two approved exactly like so when you merge the two problem occurred.

Okay, well already closed on their home, no side and apps.

Okay.

Is there any further question?

I have one question.

Um at the end, is there a uh a gate of some yes, sir?

There's a pedestrian, so there's a neighborhood uh pick right here is a pedestrian gate.

Okay.

They're gonna have to cross even if there was on that side.

The only way out walking is to cross.

Right.

I was in there, my line, it's right by live.

It's not my district.

Um twice last week.

Yeah, three times last week and everybody walking in the neighborhood on the sidewalk.

I mean, that's how it says.

So I you know, uh I think putting a cross on Wimberley would just like take away from the beat that they've already done, and it's a sidewalk, just it wouldn't look away some money.

I mean, honestly, that's in there now that doesn't even use the walks.

I mean kids are playing and it's safe, and that's what you know, you're expected to have the kids play their bike in the street.

That's on the side.

I mean, that's visiting it quite often.

That's on it.

It is a very development.

I did drive through the houses along along nice in there.

So we all done y'all done a good job developing it.

The chairns is stay is there where I'd seen the thing trying to be in attack.

Okay.

So I'm Joseph Elliott with us.

I just wanted to um like T said, is we just want to avoid sidewalks to know where it just doesn't make sense.

But and our main is to um development um as nice and beautiful.

I just uh again develop the throwway through it a couple of call you already have sidewalks in nowhere.

Literally, that's that just ends.

Well, on the seven, yeah, just have a handy key cap down to the right but you see you already have sidewalks, so I do agree just adding more is just to add and let me clarify to nowhere to me is a sidewalk in the property line.

Yes, there's a little bit of a difference in my model project and ready to make a motion if you're right.

Yeah, so you may have it.

I'd like a motion to approve the change.

Okay, is there a second on the motion?

Second.

Um ask you one question.

Um are you okay with motion to conduct?

Only question I have is yeah, I think just because of how safe this neighborhood is exactly gated.

Real quick is existing up here.

Remember that the detention pond there's a sidewalk there.

Correct, good.

Yeah, I mean uh I'm looking at this.

Yeah, I mean uh I'm a this I would have liked more cohesive sidewalks overall, but that's not our purview right now.

Is there any further hearing none of the question all those in favor?

Please raise your hand right.

Yep.

There is no objection to this is play this consent for five for a five at the council is when that's thank you.

While there's a business before the J Legislative Committee, do you want to everything up?

Um I know that we're seeing the term of council.

Um I know we have some tracks that has a term of countries.

Is that something we need to be reviewed by the council into work session or for next year?

Yeah, I think just look at that and then come back for a question would be for you.

Okay.

The uh and Doug explanation on this contract intergovernmental tax um the is always subject to term of council rule or the next council will be okay.

Because the previous council find the next council.

That is correct.

So this is just requirement whether we're checking on through uh long daughters and all the contract.

So um I'm guessing substitutional legislative.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Um for the business coming before the committee, the meeting to call the first committee.

First up is the meeting for December 18th.

Discussion all in favor.

That's three item is the 2016 tip summary.

Uh we're still working on the wood creek contract stated in the uh previous meeting.

Now the contract to sign it, and then we'll be ready to try ribbon or the working schedule to sign the contract and that started.

So that's all I have on the 20th lost.

Any discussion with the city?

Council on your discussion.

I have a question.

It looks like this 13 million dollars.

Um sixty-nine three hundred and ninety-five thousand original budget was six.

So we have all of the two one sir.

I know where you go, won't we?

All of that's in commerce.

That's a good answer.

All right.

Um I just want to remember first one is the uh victory poke protection improvement.

Um just want to remind you coming up for Mary at a power room, we're doing utility during the summer.

Um so I'll I'll remind you as we get close to the summer, but uh be working on that interview as well as Linley.

Uh I'm sorry, not poke and win.

Um as well uh doing utility review and work trying to get everything for construction during 2020 or 2027.

They've got to get the utility out of the way so we can come in here with actual construction.

Again, we try to do the projects uh minimum impact traffic, so we're trying to do the summer.

Um North American Parkway Street.

We were trying to um public input meeting for this month.

Um there infinite since this is a GDO project that would take four months to get that schedule.

We're having to wait on tell us when we can have our put meeting.

Um that schedule I'm in late early April, but uh that that's out on that project trying to get our publicing schedule to show that consultants been working on Detroit is continuing, it's close to completion of their science punch list items are they're continuing with work.

Uh Atlanta way that project and complete have 20 for me, those have now been completed as other signings we had to on the list items.

So that project completed, and that's all I have twenty-two at this point.

Question also to my source coming in a bit above two uh anticipate that uh increase in will be eaten up that additional or there the operating properties for one uh project.

Point I do not intend to point to tier two, but we with the the restructuring right now I strongly will probably that extra money we have.

We will see about 20 million dollars.

It's in your package it's in your packet.

So we are we have two million settings that is under 100, but we have not started our name projects yet.

Either write a construction, which will that balance as we start work on the words you don't know you bid them.

That's that's correct.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Um I had a question, but I forgot.

I'm sorry.

Okay.

I'm sorry, I remember my question.

So I can't see light right there over there by Park Burger.

I thought that it was supposed to be all green unless somebody's oh yes.

Okay.

Which kind of surprised me, right?

Now they they were out there doing some tweaking to it and had it tweaked out the other two.

Okay, maybe that would have been the out through there.

So I got there slowed it.

Well stop and when I got it maybe in the same that you came through.

They had uh uh green releasing flat on Atlanta.

So they had it as they were playing with it.

So nice to the group.

I think I gave you a call when I saw you you did so you you fit you've sends the timing's been fixed for about for about the last week or so I think that's correct.

Okay the public movemental performance report.

Um yes, this is our monthly departmental report.

You all the divisions everything that's been uh from number been issued now and collected to number of tiny garbage and cling we've picked up to number of vehicles um things.

So I'll point out uh Tina usually covers and so kind of confirmed on building things are still slow.

We had a pretty good month, a lot of the commercial have several commercial that came in, but things slowed back a little bit now.

So um to where we were construction goes.

Um public works as quo, the number of garbage and everything up is everything doing status.

Uh anyone may have as far as the performance.

So I can trip $60.

For the uh the curb miles is that's gone double compared to last and twelve November.

Is that because the street sweepers were back in order?

Yes, sir.

We found another sweeper back in tonight.

We've got sweepers running.

Um Saturdays holidays slowed us down a little bit on the now back if the weather weather rates and we're not having to run other other things.

So regards to the pothole repair um we just got a good month with no pot.

We have uh we we still have hot holes to repair whole weather right now.

Uh is we we can put cold and it's gonna pop right back right now.

We're kind of waiting things up a little bit so we can put some other number all right is the drive utility request by communications for consideration variants.

Yes, sir.

Um three items are requests by Comcast for the uh underground utility.

Um I'm a utility company comes in a underground utility says that you're supposed to new building lines that you're supposed to be buried.

However, if there's existing for headlines, you do the option of requesting to overlash testing the lines.

Uh this first one cast their request slash 425, a fiber optic along Chicka coming from across 20 street with the corner uh street to the utility pole at 620 drive.

There, corner of Etawa.

These are overhead line uh public works has used with the variance of this particular report.

Uh any discussion committee approved second all do them individually or each one the first zero no objection.

Right.

Moving on to South Parkway utilities.

Uh these next are are right on another, but because they're separate addresses, we having them do them separate agenda items.

So again, this Comcast community and this is a required question for overlash master to 90 feet for optic on South Mary from the utility poll at 191 South Marita Parkway to the utility pole at 27 South Mary to serve the business there.

Again, we have overhead lines there, and we have any issues requests.

Motion approved, second all in favor.

Okay, we consent.

No objection problem.

All right, nine nine South utilities.

Uh this is the final one cast uh again.

This is a separate South Marita Park.

Ten few feet of fiber table.

Um overlashing uh again.

This is just to serve the building or the service ninety nine South America Park.

They're going from Lee Pole at one and then running in the building there at one overhead line in place, public work issues with it.

Second all in favor?

Here's three of them.

All right, Mr.

Rice.

No objection to comment.

Uh Durham Street study.

We received your uh traffic calming on Durham.

So we're preparing to pluck a speed study on Whitlock Avenue to Avenue to evaluate volume speed conditions results permanent traffic improvements.

The street is located at 3A.

We'd have to proceed with the speed.

Yes.

Most of the number second.

All in favor?

Carries three zero and one.

Okay.

It's the Ban Mary Road.

Any opposition to no objection.

Consent.

Ban Barry Calming.

As part of the policy, we conduct information meeting with a traffic calming on the road from Freight Road to Franklin Gateway 24th, 2020.

After the meeting, the requested for trade traffic used a ballot form for boat work signatures.

They were 23 of parcels, 26 signatures were obtained by the all signatures were in favor of traffic calming measures for meet the required approval threshold.

Request comments from Mary Mary to police and mayor just had no comments on the business request.

Street is located in one way.

Second.

All in favor.

Mr.

Rice.

So bottom, Mr.

Kent.

Walk back in a little bit.

A little history of war five and why I'm so passionate about street.

Just believe that it's a way to downtown section of current downtown economic engines.

We have the better uh the more people will continue to walk and merchants that are in town.

So do I Stephanie?

Which one?

What I want to talk through pretty quickly is the history of the current Lawrence Street being in ward five.

The current of Lawrence Street and some historic terms that are there in these safe streets are economically productive.

I'll show you what it was uh 2022 did a similar presentation.

Lawrence was supposedly some after Judge Samuel Lawrence.

Moved to Marietta 1840.

He built on the south east front of Lawrence and he was the uh one uh justice they call it inferior county court.

I don't know.

Is that the same uh they use now is it superior or superior some people doing it?

Uh it was no mayor that said that uh stated that he was ninth mayor of mayor between eighteen and eighteen sixty this was not by council through some of the at the mayor's center.

Uh but that uh it was named after it was part of the search idea.

Um first African American elected to uh the Marietta City Council was uh and uh Hugh Grogan who lived in where I live it's called Ford.

He uh used to be up here.

So uh he served five for twenty eight to eight one term.

This is Lawrence Street used to look it was uh his black business Lawrence Street Church there is Apple, which was moved down to over to North Parkway where they built.

But there was a lot of blacknesses up and down all the way to there on Lawrence.

This some of the history around the neighborhood where I live in is called the the at uh the aquatic meeting parking, then you have meeting parts, but all of these were housing development, and so when Logan sued for uh uh it was called one man who uh jury entering the district, all of these housing they the city together was five Marietta was part of it, it was Johnny Walker Homes, uh also um meeting park that's my in the uh neighborhood, the Quarter Bombry Park uh over that area was Baptist Town, uh part of that area because a lot of Baptist churches in that area historically um and then over that was uh public housing as well.

Create a majority of reward change, it's not the same thing.

All those have gone.

I think it's you know, the the city did a great and transitioning people had vouchers now.

We do public housing housing uh places, and we don't do um uh don't do public housing anymore.

Um housing authority provides where seniors can do uh these uh apartments are being built that are made uh uh by public.

The 2020s, and and I think they did this a few years ago.

He just shocked because it's not as it is uh by ward three, but it's changed anyway, then the is different.

But this is basically twenty census, just looking at that one block.

You can see it very diverse now compared to what it used to be when there were all public housings in ward five.

Uh and you know, streets increases safety, exercise, better environment, property more attractive looking from a read out of small towns property values, one percent increase in walk, you know, from you know to three thousand and walk tax increase the property by one percent.

Encourage business, increase retail and tax values, greater tax per acre, higher return investment and unsafe auto streets, small costs and the minimum must last for decades, maybe centuries.

So this is what looking from the coal and Lawrence back to downtown the gateway to down.

This is that intersection should be improved as well.

And if you hear this is down Lawrence Street is the streets the we have streets where it's been paved over, as you can see.

Uh this is the turn of church that he moved to Lawrence Street on the corner.

Well street back there on Lawrence Street where they do, and then when the house center there, all of these are built on.

of the stones that are on there uh this is the turn it out church that it moved for Lawrence on the coin well street back then on Lawrence Street whether and then when the house center there all of these are built on that's what it would have cost in two or made it right the cost one point eight million dollars and at that time each had five hundred and I was going to put up three hundred thousand out of my uh spice and proper plan over but that neighborhood what the cost would have been 2022 2028 now we're looking at million one hundred and eight thousand but I take and let you look at this was one of the pictures and this would look like similar that you know increase the width of the and put sidewalks on it of summary Lawrence and sidewalk side repair and I'm saying they do not meet standards copy of the conference plan or just the more gateways move gateways today Marietta Square improvity of downtown area and increase values the higher tax it my point of the one is to give a strip background two that I want to that we included as one project 2025 lies.

Thank you.

It's currently 18 feet yes and it's currently 18 proposed to five into 205 streets call me there slowest you've never been on Lawrence Street 22 when you sound on that one moving on to the 2028 splot projects so we have Mr.

Rice you have to make all this see uh see everybody um hopefully have time to review all I added in and the request from the meeting so that's all added in um as well as Lawrence Street is all below um our budget for the 2020 loss is 78 million we're currently everything that's on the list right ninety three point one million you got about a 14 million dollars won't have to be put this in decisions going to be um remove projects do something here to get this balance um and again to remind you that this has to be done by the end of February have to report the Cobb no later in March.

So if not a consensus obviously at this council meeting up to Halle call but it's got to be this month um in order moved on to Cobb County committee start with some discussion I think my only is avenue widening from the high school I mean didn't like Avenue get down with that I think county the city got together that large trail outside that was the trail but the has not been so isn't that kind of we've already got done I mean no we look if I can't um the money we had allocated in this right here is for us to start putting together a to see exactly what the best is to widen that add two lanes all the way okay it's not really start any construction.

So we can widen that through now with their since they've been to work with us.

Um not the trail side that's already been built.

Right.

Okay.

Touch the cemetery there as well.

That's that's another one that get involved.

So yeah, we we've got room there, especially for the part.

Uh I know Mr.

Well asked me to look at the end there.

Uh where the Hulk is moving that up and putting a possible traffic signal there.

Um this allow me to finish that study and what we can do all there as well.

Well the here again is necessarily as to construct what I mean to do and concept work to decide the best options.

Yeah, the consultants may say you've got that's allowable.

Then again, it may come and say, Well, here's your test options.

Those options are I'd council and say, here's options are and here's the S i We're not going to build it out of the 20th Splos.

It's going to went to construction looking splost in the future.

This is not something you would be right now.

Uh so you would have multiple future properties to decide if anything would be right now.

I'm asking at least allow staff to start looking at on a formal basis.

Um designing or looking at the options are available.

Normally, something like this, we would do it as a just do the estimated dollar amount.

This has to be a name cost.

Um normally a thousand or something.

We can absorb that not be an issue.

But because this is had to be over a million dollars has to be listed as an object on the splost.

I thought we were not this is this is to allow everybody in there to for us to construct we need it.

We feel pretty confident we're going to get some additional uh new into construction to help us need extra money.

And to the project councilman Ken, any from you on this list that's the widening uh rest of the council that's my on this with regard to trying to look to find other stuff to try to work with the monies that we we might have in their costs or not with regard to the project to proposed right now on this tier one list.

Um are there grants other sources of funds?

You think are likely or well get that might be able to uh cover some of the thing and maybe be able to re amount getting here to get to us on under on some of the list.

Uh it's a very commission Goldstein.

Uh some of the we've already that there's grant funding.

Um I'm I'm happy to go back and list again to see if they're not projects here that maybe could qualify for and bring us bringing them back to you to help help reduce numbers down.

So um some may have to talk some of the about to see if some of their projects, but yes, that it is a possibility.

I just need to further analyze I'd make that that's what the committee at this point, but that's something I would would prefer to look at if we can get some of these numbers, and that would be that help in our decision making.

Yep, that would be great.

I'd like to propose we remove lock avenue widening um I think we run the risk of reduced demand.

Widen a road and we induce drivers to use that road.

I understand that congestion issue.

Um I I'm asking the committee to remove that one million from that list.

Still have 15 million to come up with that.

Um remove the roadblock project.

And I'm not on your committee.

I have licensed Enoch.

So thirteen and a half million I don't want to touch public.

Uh I I have a question.

Yeah.

Like the half million.

So this like the public safety.

What's on capital improvement?

Or is that going to do both?

So we do uh each year we put in improvement money to cars, but we also uh rely on the split provide a good cars.

I mean if we get down to it in the final lines of money, then we could there it's gonna be uh yeah we have a lot of cars police department are on a ten year rotation now.

Um regard um no about up uh park and ward set as part of the thing.

Uh still and for the work in case we do like a pocket park or something as well if there's enough but uh the seven million is that the land acquisition yes sir.

Um right now, but can you see what land seven might not we might not have to as much land acquisition to take a look at how much that might reduce that by just what options we might have in the city?

So I don't want the traffic column at 500 per week.

We'll want to touch that.

So now we're looking at city hall renovation, citywide park movements, gateway complex, and the ward seven, which Mr.

Goldstein just did I hear Chris saying you're open to a pocket park situation.

Do you want to explore that for exploring as an optional thing?

I know for a fact that the neighborhood that's been this said there's a pocket there's an area that city owned can be a pocket park as far as uh another thing is just for a large uh for a larger part if there's city I'm asking to take a look at that to see if we can get that cost.

So just I'm just asking what we have.

Okay.

Okay.

That might be able to reduce the cost for that one.

Yes, please.

I think we ought to pull off all parts and I'd like to pull off the net parks bomb two thousand was one of the most things we do.

If you take the parks and with air, point five million.

Not famous at the park.

Is that one of the worst we people if they get something for we don't pass?

We also have been throwing a curve the amount of money that we project to forward when county wanted to build a big a big building.

I know we can't tonight, but inflation and all things is property.

We have really award four and more than for not having any successful.

But also the interest rates got we got what 25 million went up to a million dollar premium.

Would that I guess this question is for would that remove Franklin Gateway turf replacement?

The problem with that is we're gonna hit that we're during that time period where we have to replace that term in order to rent it.

It's a big amount of money.

And uh really be able to buy our normal budget.

So the bond would if we had a park spond and money from there, that's great.

Yeah.

Um if we don't that, then we're gonna bad I understand.

We gave them another.

So we passed that part nine.

Yes.

Right after the tremendous crash on them.

And you give them what they want.

I mean the list was very effective to get us, and it passed.

Now it's money, it carried us 14 to 15 years.

2,000 parks, chair.

It's a wonderful idea.

I think it brings it here for transportation safety street.

Um free up a lot of things.

That was that was the point.

And it if I could add the four seconds as a revenue bond.

We we've done that was very successful.

I don't inflation is away.

Um I see I mean I guess uh and I'm bringing this up in 30 miles, but station house fifty five if this loss is twenty-eight and we don't be able to do something risking our fire to remain a building that was in the seven and literally keep doing their own repairs and we've done things time for that.

We would be asking if we don't put people, we're asking them to do that for another ten years.

So we did that on the ads plus it does work and whatever we do tonight or in a month.

Well, skew it another eighteen percent.

I mean the world's burning up places, they got to rebuild houses.

Plus, I mean we don't have general obligation bonds.

And we put proceeds from the goals, thank you.

Um if I remember correctly 20 plus, we did a kind of did we do an internal panel for that one, or is that one button?

We set it up to do it, but uh because of the project and the way they were going, we did all the money down.

Um on a bond of some uh I just want to make sure I'd get information on how that would be set up given the fact that we've done something was in two thousand uh what we do that, I guess make that all of moving everything off moving everything offstand what we're doing going to make that maybe question so we can get an idea looking at questions.

So that would be from the buttons to vote vote on.

Yes.

Yeah.

Not the supply.

Don't pledge it obligation.

And we could pass two of them.

So either.

No.

And uh part a parks would be a general generation bond to my understanding of the previous one.

So that one we'd be pledging nothing credit of the city with tax base.

Um yeah, it has to go through on that one.

I just want to make sure we know that process what we'd be getting to on that as well.

So the Pascal question is can we get to a point where we can remove projects off tonight and for session to get to a point or do we want to Mr.

Mayor?

If we do not the thing, we'd be forcing ourselves to consider and still think we want to work.

Right.

And can't do it tonight.

Yeah, Mr.

Chair.

Right.

We have to have the permitted to the county by one.

Mr.

Chair, the way I see it on the ones we have tonight the agenda work session before the meeting.

Before the Wednesday thing we have the Wednesday meeting, and then if we're selling we still have the committee meeting meeting a possible special get through this, so we have a good bit of time to be able to ask this further reason why my first question about how the grants could possibly do start to decrease down.

Um I have tonight, so not but maybe refer to work session so that we can get more discussion because if we can't Monday night, then it'd be going prefer back to committee.

Understanding we'd have to call council meeting committee night.

But that'll allow us time to have the things, bring those allow staff time to bring us back in front regarding possible costs to decrease the thing and understand a part what a cost bond would look like as the mayor's right.

So I can't forty six.

I mean you borrowed the money.

Yeah, I think out that quick math, you know, C park is two million freeways three and a half, that's five million.

The new park is seven and a half hour at twelve thirteen removed the Whitlock Avenue 14 and a half million and then the savings from 61 short.

You're there.

No some program expenses.

So not gonna cost much to right.

And the committee is a better shape.

Yeah.

But agenda wins that we could make employee reports.

So do we have a motion from the committee?

Do we need a motion to only a motion to need a motion?

Um second with the reduction discuss.

Can you move it from there to the council agenda?

All in all in favor.

Okay.

That that is the one recommended and earned public works committee.

So it's just personal second.

We've got discussion in a second.

That's a three question.

Um and the contracts will come back to us at the work portion.

Yes.

Um there's something we need to make we don't uh yeah.

Um he just emailed okay.

Yeah, Mr.

Mayor, would you like a motion?

Yeah, well first it's the yes.

I mean the rules relating to a lawsuit.

We need to have a call because court accepting final.

He will he would not allow the city he would he would accept it and not a motion.

Reluctant to take it.

Yeah.

And the trial February in the next meeting is the eleven.

He'll have a special call.

Yeah.
