1
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,880
Is the machinery, the interwebs on?

2
00:01:07,150 --> 00:01:07,850
Hello everyone,

3
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,000
welcome

4
00:02:20,690 --> 00:02:27,110
to the last work session of the year December 10, 2019 for Kevin City Council. Call that roll. Mayors.

5
00:02:27,390 --> 00:02:31,930
That's me. Council member Lynn Lee Jones, district one. Present. Council member John Park, district two.

6
00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:58,730
Yes, don't forget to buy your tickets to the MLK day dinner.

7
00:03:14,330 --> 00:03:20,730
Good afternoon Mayor council. We've had a very busy week with helping out the

8
00:03:20,730 --> 00:03:24,810
Director Parkman with Santa and the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

9
00:03:26,990 --> 00:03:30,290
This, the next week is an even be busier.

10
00:03:30,770 --> 00:03:34,190
The 12th we have were escorting for the peach tree greenway opening.

11
00:03:35,330 --> 00:03:40,250
The bike club from the manifestation to the opening, they expect 200 bikes.

12
00:03:41,790 --> 00:03:46,350
The ribbon cutting itself and immediately following the ribbon cutting, we have a, a lunch and

13
00:03:46,350 --> 00:03:49,250
a holiday lunch and at the police department, so you're all invited to attend that.

14
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:51,790
and about one o'clock, we're giving out awards to our officers

15
00:03:51,790 --> 00:03:53,650
of the year and things like that.

16
00:03:54,330 --> 00:03:55,810
So please stop by if you could do that.

17
00:03:57,130 --> 00:04:02,270
Also, let's see, third night we have the same night.

18
00:04:02,290 --> 00:04:04,790
We have guns and hoses, it's boxing tournament.

19
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:07,550
This year we actually have three officers boxing.

20
00:04:07,950 --> 00:04:08,990
There's 20 events.

21
00:04:11,130 --> 00:04:14,170
Each event is three rounds and three of our officers are in it.

22
00:04:14,310 --> 00:04:16,130
They're going to have Brookhaven boxing robes and everything.

23
00:04:16,430 --> 00:04:17,770
So we'll stand out there.

24
00:04:17,770 --> 00:04:21,350
It's against firemen that's for the pale organization, which is a police ethnically.

25
00:04:22,890 --> 00:04:28,510
As I mentioned last week, and then finally we're just trying to remind all the residents and

26
00:04:28,510 --> 00:04:33,970
citizens that is the holiday season, we're expecting a lot of thefts.

27
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:38,770
I know Amazon's been advertising, I think one out of four packages delivered has been stolen from

28
00:04:38,770 --> 00:04:39,250
porches.

29
00:04:40,430 --> 00:04:42,390
So, we want everyone to be aware of that.

30
00:04:42,790 --> 00:04:46,250
If even if our residents would pass out of a staff meeting this morning, or our officers

31
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:50,790
has been advised if you see an Amazon truck or a UPS or a FedEx truck going around.

32
00:04:50,970 --> 00:04:54,070
A lot of times we'll follow them because what happens is they actually follow these vehicles

33
00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:58,410
around and just pick up packages right after they deliver them, which is probably the easiest

34
00:04:58,410 --> 00:04:59,470
for them to do.

35
00:04:59,790 --> 00:05:00,610
It's a crime of opportunity.

36
00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:04,630
And the other thing is we're still having vehicles stolen.

37
00:05:05,050 --> 00:05:08,050
We had a bunch of cars entered this past week.

38
00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:11,730
One of them happened right off the Beaufort Highway, not too far from the police department

39
00:05:11,730 --> 00:05:16,190
in the gated community, we just found out today that the pickup truck that was used

40
00:05:16,190 --> 00:05:20,150
in that was stolen and how these springs had had a gun in it and they stole a car

41
00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:26,010
from the subdivision where they were breaking through the actually in that gated community.

42
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:31,310
We also had two car stolen this past week where keys were left in the car again so that continues

43
00:05:31,870 --> 00:05:32,270
to.

44
00:05:32,470 --> 00:05:33,310
And that's all we have.

45
00:05:37,110 --> 00:05:42,650
Thank you very much, Patty, and then we'll go to economic development.

46
00:05:43,790 --> 00:05:45,570
Good afternoon Mayor and Council.

47
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:53,990
I've been really working with Jima on the FEMA and hazard mitigation grant contract that

48
00:05:53,990 --> 00:05:56,510
you will see on your agenda this evening.

49
00:05:57,090 --> 00:06:00,570
I will be working very closely with the homeowners to navigate that process through 2020.

50
00:06:01,750 --> 00:06:05,830
And speaking of 2020, I've also been filling my time with Census 2020.

51
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:11,310
I will be presenting the marketing plan to the Complete Count Committee next week that will

52
00:06:11,310 --> 00:06:12,630
rolling out in January.

53
00:06:13,490 --> 00:06:15,730
We've been working with some great partners with that,

54
00:06:15,730 --> 00:06:17,270
including the U.S. Census Bureau,

55
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:20,830
and I have to have to make sure we're leveraging all our assets.

56
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:22,590
Nobody has the budget they'd love to have,

57
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:23,850
so we're all trying to work together.

58
00:06:24,970 --> 00:06:27,750
The Cherry Blossom Fest in 5K will have some big announcements

59
00:06:27,750 --> 00:06:29,010
in January.

60
00:06:29,170 --> 00:06:31,750
I'm working now on all the supporting contracts,

61
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:33,290
getting everything in place.

62
00:06:33,770 --> 00:06:36,810
So Mallory can run it as seamlessly as we know she will.

63
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:38,570
And that's it.

64
00:06:38,570 --> 00:06:39,050
Thank you.

65
00:06:41,690 --> 00:06:42,510
Thank you very much.

66
00:06:42,510 --> 00:06:47,390
Can you remind us when we expect a response from the ARC on our tip request?

67
00:06:48,170 --> 00:06:54,170
I just checked into that yesterday that looks like they're going to have the draft plan in a January.

68
00:06:54,310 --> 00:06:58,430
They'll be presenting that to first their committee, then their board.

69
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:01,210
So we'll be planning out about the end of January.

70
00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:04,130
I've never seen a recommendation turned out from the board.

71
00:07:04,250 --> 00:07:06,690
It goes through a very, very lengthy scoring process.

72
00:07:07,110 --> 00:07:09,770
So I should be able to give you an update at the end of January.

73
00:07:09,770 --> 00:07:14,950
And then we'll know in the first quarter when the board actually passes it and move forward.

74
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:22,970
Most of these particular projects would be projects that will be affected after June 30th, 2020.

75
00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:25,210
So in plenty of time to do that.

76
00:07:25,470 --> 00:07:25,810
Thank you.

77
00:07:25,930 --> 00:07:34,250
In just a reminder, the council that we asked for significant funding for the completion of phase two of the Greenway and phase three of the Greenway.

78
00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:36,650
So looking forward to some good news there.

79
00:07:37,010 --> 00:07:37,730
Economic development.

80
00:07:37,730 --> 00:07:39,710
Good afternoon Mayor and Council.

81
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:42,150
Just one major announcement for you all this afternoon.

82
00:07:42,770 --> 00:07:47,190
Last week the development authority approved adopted their strategic plan so we're looking

83
00:07:47,190 --> 00:07:50,110
forward to hitting the ground running in 2020 with that.

84
00:07:50,290 --> 00:07:52,410
You also approved a budget through 2020.

85
00:07:53,070 --> 00:07:58,150
So we are ready for the next year and seeing some great projects come out of those.

86
00:07:58,570 --> 00:07:58,890
Thank you.

87
00:07:59,070 --> 00:08:05,130
And the council direction last week will include the budget in the appendix of the approved 2020 city budget.

88
00:08:05,530 --> 00:08:07,590
So we'll have that with the CBB budget as well.

89
00:08:08,350 --> 00:08:11,290
let's do communications and then human resources.

90
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:13,570
Good afternoon Mayor and Council.

91
00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:17,790
We've had a lot of activity in communications in the since our last meeting.

92
00:08:17,790 --> 00:08:19,070
I'd love to tell you about it.

93
00:08:19,170 --> 00:08:22,050
We've got our Spanish paint the park calendar in house

94
00:08:22,050 --> 00:08:23,750
and we'll be distributed in the coming weeks.

95
00:08:23,950 --> 00:08:26,230
We also have our Spanish activity guide at the printer.

96
00:08:26,590 --> 00:08:29,230
We coordinated the staffed conversation with Council members.

97
00:08:29,570 --> 00:08:31,590
That's Lily Jones and Council member,

98
00:08:31,590 --> 00:08:37,550
that was on the 2nd of December, very well-attended, very well-attended event.

99
00:08:38,670 --> 00:08:42,450
We worked with the Parks Department to photograph the Peach Creek Greenway Bridge

100
00:08:42,450 --> 00:08:44,510
for a special Christmas card.

101
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:50,010
We also staffed light up Brookhaven, which was the best event ever,

102
00:08:50,010 --> 00:08:52,470
and I'm sure Brian Boardson told us all about it in just a few minutes.

103
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:57,630
But a wonderful time was had by all at the light up Brookhaven event.

104
00:08:57,630 --> 00:09:01,550
We are anticipating an annexation in tonight's agenda.

105
00:09:01,690 --> 00:09:06,450
We've been doing some preparations to welcome this new community into the city limits of Brookhaven,

106
00:09:06,970 --> 00:09:14,350
including some welcome packages and some poll banners that will be seen in that area of our community.

107
00:09:14,830 --> 00:09:21,150
We initiated the choice for tops with collections in City Hall, the Parks Department, and the Police Department,

108
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:24,090
and as far as City Hall is concerned, if you go downstairs in the lobby,

109
00:09:24,090 --> 00:09:28,310
see it's overflowing with toys, so a lot of happy kids and Christmas time this year.

110
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:33,310
We've also had a number of pressure leases since our last meeting, I'm sure we're going

111
00:09:33,310 --> 00:09:34,110
to have many more tonight.

112
00:09:34,510 --> 00:09:34,550
Thank you.

113
00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:35,790
That concludes my report.

114
00:09:36,970 --> 00:09:37,550
Thank you very much.

115
00:09:37,910 --> 00:09:39,370
They are very busy down there.

116
00:09:39,590 --> 00:09:40,150
He would resources.

117
00:09:41,250 --> 00:09:43,710
I'm happy to say that our 2020 open enrollment is complete.

118
00:09:43,890 --> 00:09:47,990
All the information has been provided to carriers and they have uploaded the information.

119
00:09:48,270 --> 00:09:50,170
We have visibility on that.

120
00:09:50,170 --> 00:10:03,030
We're currently working on closing out the 2019 employee performance evaluations, and we'll also be creating the 2020 plans and goals for all employees, as well as we're working on the employee salary planning work sheets for the 2020.

121
00:10:05,030 --> 00:10:08,170
Thank you very much. Brian, you want to slide in there.

122
00:10:09,470 --> 00:10:10,090
Perhaps some recreation.

123
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,400
Good afternoon, Mayor members of Council.

124
00:10:16,100 --> 00:10:20,200
First, I want to say thank you to everyone who came out Wednesday night for light up Brookhaven.

125
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:33,920
We had another great event, especially this year we added the snow slides, hopefully everybody got a chance to go down on the snow slide, the Santa could tell from flying in, there was a long line to get in to the snow slide on the Wednesday night.

126
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:41,160
Our crowd, it was probably the most diverse crowd we've had at this event, our Hispanic population.

127
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,740
Thanks to, you'll listen in the communications department showed that it came participated.

128
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,840
I'd say probably 30 to 40 to 50 percent of the crowd was from our Hispanic population, as well as probably a large number.

129
00:10:53,060 --> 00:10:56,720
Just as many were in line to visit with Santa on Wednesday night.

130
00:10:56,900 --> 00:11:01,820
So, thank you to you all, the police department, everyone who came out and participated in this year's event.

131
00:11:02,740 --> 00:11:08,940
As Council Member Jones mentioned earlier, the fifth annual Martin Luther King celebration dinner will be held on January 20,

132
00:11:08,940 --> 00:11:11,840

Also, tickets for the this year's daddy daughter dance are on sale now.

140
00:11:30,180 --> 00:11:34,120
The first night will be held on Friday, February 7th,

141
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,060

additional dollar you have it's $5 for each additional child.

145
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:50,700
The Linwood Park ADA bathroom project is continuing to move forward.

146
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,220
The contractor has completed their blockwork on the inside and they will actually begin

147
00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:57,860
the process of laying the floor tile at the end of this week.

148
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,480
If you've been up piece tree this week near the Gateway Monument you've noticed the landscaping

149
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,460
project that's going on up there.

150
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:08,040
The contractor should be completed with that project by the end of this week with the new

151
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:14,340
plants and so on. And the Breyerwood Park Conspore construction, if you haven't been by

152
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:19,500
there, go by there. You can see the new pool. The contractor has got the pool dug out. So

153
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:22,740
you give you a great idea of what the pool is going to look like. So if you get a chance,

154
00:12:22,860 --> 00:12:26,880
go by Breyerwood and check it out. And that concludes the parks report.

155
00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:29,590
Thank you very

156
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:31,490
much. Public Works.

157
00:12:31,490 --> 00:12:33,510
Good afternoon, Mayor and Council.

158
00:12:35,430 --> 00:12:46,890
The monument that Shambri Dunwoley Road is now complete, there is some cleanup and the lighting of the monument is the only thing left there.

159
00:12:48,210 --> 00:13:00,850
And we have the Ashwood Dunwoley Montgomery Elementary Bits advertised last Friday, and the Bits are due on January 16, 2019, and we're hoping to bring that contract to the Council.

160
00:13:00,850 --> 00:13:03,090
in the second council meeting.

161
00:13:03,950 --> 00:13:11,150
And Merrill brothers are a contractor for the dredging, is working on the schedule and the truck

162
00:13:11,150 --> 00:13:18,070
routes, and then we are hoping we can get that contract, not the contract, yes, the contract

163
00:13:18,070 --> 00:13:23,570
to the council, on the first meeting of January, and then get the dredging going there.

164
00:13:24,010 --> 00:13:30,230
And staff is working on the 2020 paving big documents, and hopefully we will release that

165
00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:34,130
or the contractor sometime before end of the year.

166
00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:37,530
And usually the relocation at DASH would

167
00:13:37,530 --> 00:13:40,070
done what he and Johnson Ferris still continuing.

168
00:13:40,950 --> 00:13:44,170
Georgia Power has done most of the work.

169
00:13:45,590 --> 00:13:50,330
And gas company, Agil, is yet to start the work.

170
00:13:50,390 --> 00:13:52,850
And they'll be starting very soon.

171
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:55,930
And you have Brian Woodrow side walk

172
00:13:55,930 --> 00:14:02,770
and Brian Woodrow multi-use bat construction contracts in front of you for today to

173
00:14:02,770 --> 00:14:05,970
a pool, and then once it is a pool, we'll start those two.

174
00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:12,090
And the Brian Woodrow side walk is the last side walk project that was a pool by the council

175
00:14:12,090 --> 00:14:18,930
in 2015 and 2014, yes, that's all I have.

176
00:14:19,930 --> 00:14:20,930
Thanks very much.

177
00:14:21,150 --> 00:14:21,710
Community development.

178
00:14:23,410 --> 00:14:33,870
Good afternoon, the department just wanted to make council aware that the bids for the tree canopy study update have been received and are in review.

179
00:14:34,610 --> 00:14:39,990
We will get that complete before the end of the year and bring it back to you for a more in January.

180
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:43,300
Thank you very much.

181
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:55,960
Mayer in Council. One item that I'd like to notice that as the Iran is getting close, we're getting ready for our external auditors.

182
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,040
They reach out to us. So right now we're in the planning.

183
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:20,120
The face of the audited difficulty includes gaining understanding over the agency's systems, processes in internal controls, and the area requested some items, some preliminary items that we'll provide to them, and they are planning to be on site this month, the 19 and the 20th and that concludes my report. Thank you.

184
00:15:24,770 --> 00:15:25,350
Good afternoon.

185
00:15:27,150 --> 00:15:28,250
I'll just introduce myself.

186
00:15:30,650 --> 00:15:37,090
So, in addition to external auditors, we do have an internal auditor doing work as well, and

187
00:15:37,090 --> 00:15:44,630
he is going to be headlong and first on the first quarter working with our performance audit for

188
00:15:44,630 --> 00:15:50,990
the park bond issuance and dealing with our park oversight board, our park bond oversight board on

189
00:15:50,990 --> 00:16:02,930
at. In addition to Maro, we have a hearing here in the morning. Alcohol, we did send out

190
00:16:02,930 --> 00:16:08,870
two letters for non-renewal. One of the firms is actually appealing, the non-renewal,

191
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:14,170
and we'll have them in here with hearing officer tomorrow morning. The other firm did not appeal.

192
00:16:14,610 --> 00:16:17,650
They're non-renewal, notice. That's all for me.

193
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:47,480
Thank you. Yes, all the departments are essentially getting ready for next year's budget and closing out this year's budget, including developing their departmental and individual management objectives that are aligned with the budget, especially as it relates to sustainable broke haven, which identifies specific efforts to do or commitments for calling them in 2020, and that will be an each department heads performance plan for next year that concludes the operating report.

194
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:59,410
Questions are going to be selling the MLK dinner tickets online this year?

195
00:16:59,870 --> 00:17:03,550
Currently we have not put them online but we can't we can work to try to get those online

196
00:17:03,550 --> 00:17:08,990
just because we have a certain number and trying to make sure that we get we don't over

197
00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:14,770
sale. Let me talk with our let me talk to staff is that we can try to get those on there and

198
00:17:14,770 --> 00:17:20,470
maybe we can number a certain way. Okay and I'll go ahead this year and get out the letters

199
00:17:20,470 --> 00:17:30,810
of invitation to elected officials and dignitaries next week and then I don't think the MLK

200
00:17:30,810 --> 00:17:37,890
dinner is on the website at all yet. Is it I was looking on the home page you know it's

201
00:17:37,890 --> 00:17:43,310
got in the in the spotlight. It's on our department web page under programs and activities

202
00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:44,930
and events. Okay,

203
00:17:47,010 --> 00:17:52,810
so December 12th, the Fisher Creek Greenway has featured on the home page,

204
00:17:53,090 --> 00:17:58,850
and then when that's done, could we feature the MLK data dinner? Is that, or is it okay?

205
00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:04,270
Okay, that's playin' all. The next, the next big thing we got is this, this, this, this, this.

206
00:18:04,270 --> 00:18:05,810
Great, thanks.

207
00:18:08,830 --> 00:18:11,510
Good, John, okay, dates.

208
00:18:14,470 --> 00:18:17,710
Just a question about the update on the Christmas

209
00:18:17,710 --> 00:18:24,730
industry at Mara. What was the latest on that? I saw when still have lights on it. We had

210
00:18:24,730 --> 00:18:29,090
to order some solar lights, so with everything we had gone on, they just had not had

211
00:18:29,090 --> 00:18:33,730
a chance to get them. We had to order them. So hopefully next week we'll get those installed.

212
00:18:35,770 --> 00:18:41,750
So... Amen! I'm so excited. That was really the thinking that it was going to not happen

213
00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:46,310
this year. So you made my Christmas with that. So now we know what the farewell

214
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:48,050
I'll get this.

215
00:18:52,670 --> 00:18:53,550
Should I ask for more?

216
00:18:55,630 --> 00:18:56,690
But that's what you asked for.

217
00:19:01,430 --> 00:19:03,130
Yeah, that's it.

218
00:19:03,490 --> 00:19:07,250
Chief, can you repeat, you said something about the police awards?

219
00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:08,430
Was that on 12-12?

220
00:19:08,510 --> 00:19:09,530
The half of the peach tree.

221
00:19:10,510 --> 00:19:11,170
Ribbon cutting?

222
00:19:11,770 --> 00:19:12,930
Yeah, immediately following that.

223
00:19:13,510 --> 00:19:15,290
Because it was pre-scadgeted before the peach tree.

224
00:19:15,290 --> 00:19:21,150
Greenway was scheduled or whatever. So we have got a bunch of residents donating food and they usually join us and help us

225
00:19:22,390 --> 00:19:26,310
It's immediately following that and the awards are probably about one to clock one 30. I guess

226
00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:28,410
How long does that usually go for?

227
00:19:29,890 --> 00:19:36,130
The luncheon itself will go from 12 o'clock whenever we get there after the greenway until probably 3.30 or so.

228
00:19:38,570 --> 00:19:40,310
Christian on the

229
00:19:40,310 --> 00:19:43,210
Development Authority budget that's going to be put in as a appendix

230
00:19:43,210 --> 00:19:49,810
You think maybe we can get a copy just to review it. Yes. Okay, I'd like to see that. Thank you very much

231
00:19:52,050 --> 00:19:52,490
Gary

232
00:19:53,490 --> 00:19:59,330
What was the time of on the bike alliance? What time are you guys starting to

233
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,380
believe it's about 45 minutes before the greenway

234
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:07,080
starts up the ceremony

235
00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:10,680
I'm thinking myself. I'm like

236
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:21,080
Um, then, uh, Patty, is this contract of Latina, is that, is this just a accepting the grant

237
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:26,100
in full, or is this, or have the people actually signed the documentation saying they're

238
00:20:26,100 --> 00:20:27,220
willing to sell the property?

239
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,580
But I was confused by that.

240
00:20:29,620 --> 00:20:32,040
Oh, no, no, there's a, there's a timeline to it.

241
00:20:32,060 --> 00:20:37,560
What happened now is we accept the terms of the grant at the seedings meeting, should you choose

242
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,380
to do so?

243
00:20:38,380 --> 00:20:44,080
It goes back to Gima, who is also a subrecipient of these funds.

244
00:20:44,360 --> 00:20:45,920
It's reviewed by FEMA.

245
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,720
Once FEMA signs off on it, which will be a few weeks,

246
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,800
then we are allowed to send offer letters to the homeowners.

247
00:20:55,500 --> 00:20:59,100
And at that point, they know that as you'll see in the grant,

248
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,380
the offer numbers are in there.

249
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,520
So it will take, you know, we may have some closings the first quarter,

250
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:12,080
but we've already discussed with Gima and through FEMA and in house that will probably be

251
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,660
at least an 18-month process from one to the end. It's a big decision for people. Let me understand

252
00:21:16,660 --> 00:21:22,460
that. And there's a date certain if they don't clarify that. Currently there's a date certain

253
00:21:22,460 --> 00:21:30,140
of December 31, 2020. However, if we are in process, we've already been notified that people will

254
00:21:30,140 --> 00:21:45,180
and that. But yes, state certain we will need answers by. We have certain homeowners who are very anxious to move with the process and others who have some questions on it, and that is a normal course of events and that's what we expect and as does Gima.

255
00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:50,760
And Harry may have a little more to say on that, but as far as the contract goes, that's the process.

256
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,420
And

257
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:57,080
what else have any other questions?

258
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,030
If not, when does the agenda come out for Thursdays event?

259
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:07,240
We hope to have the first thing in the morning.

260
00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:08,880
Thank you.

261
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,680
Shedding off to thank you to Barbara reports.

262
00:22:12,380 --> 00:22:17,100
Other agenda items, presentation of that automated side loaders,

263
00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:19,740
Dr. Pauline Andrea, the cab county.

264
00:22:20,380 --> 00:22:21,700
Thank you so much for joining us today.

265
00:22:21,700 --> 00:22:22,340
Well,

266
00:23:14,940 --> 00:23:19,360
good afternoon everyone, Mayor Ernst City Council Member, City Manager and everyone

267
00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:20,800
answering your various departments.

268
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:25,840
My name is Pauline Andran, the Public Relations Manager for the Cap County Sanitation

269
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,300
Division.

270
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,920
And here with me today, two of my colleagues, I do have our Communications Coordinator

271
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,520
and the Station of Nove.

272
00:23:33,220 --> 00:23:37,680
And also, Daphos Satiragon, who is our GIS analyst, who will be doing a brief presentation

273
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,780
with me here as well.

274
00:23:39,140 --> 00:23:43,580
So thank you so much for having us here to talk to you briefly about the automated side

275
00:23:43,580 --> 00:23:48,900
a lot of trucks. And I'm sure, well, most of you, if not all of you, should remember

276
00:23:48,900 --> 00:23:54,200
when we switched transition over to a one day week collection service back in 2015 and

277
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,680
the Rolling Fort One initiative. And this really can be viewed as the final major component

278
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,340
of that initiative, introducing this trucks. And there are quite a few benefits that I'll

279
00:24:05,340 --> 00:24:09,440
share with you today. It's also contained in the paper that you have. So what I'm really

280
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,280
today to discuss a couple of high-level components of the initiative and also to tell you

281
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:21,500
how we're going to get information out to or to residents within our service area including

282
00:24:21,500 --> 00:24:27,820
the city of Brookhaven residents. So first what we've done is we've brought up our website's home page

283
00:24:27,820 --> 00:24:33,840
which has information on this initiative and that's one of the main ways for communication

284
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,300
channels like you see platforms we're using to get information out to residents. So as you can see

285
00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:42,320
based on the paper that you have and also what's on our website.

286
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,040
We have customized branding for this initiative.

287
00:24:45,340 --> 00:24:48,700
You can see we have a picture of the truck with the name of the truck.

288
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,820
I need an also see two roll carts.

289
00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:54,520
So on any side of the truck, what those roll carts

290
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,540
and then to indicate is that the trucks will be used for both garbage

291
00:24:58,540 --> 00:25:00,180
and recycling collection.

292
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:04,500
Now what we've done is we began back in spring of 2019.

293
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,480
What we're calling a pilot program

294
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,360
were trying out this trucks within to cap communities.

295
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:12,880
They have been around a few of them in Brookhaven, Dunwoody,

296
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,660
the Seven Cities that we service,

297
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:16,780
as well as unincorporated to cap.

298
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,220
And through this pilot project,

299
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:25,300
what we determined was that, by using one driver,

300
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,820
position called a Refused Driver Collector,

301
00:25:27,980 --> 00:25:31,060
which was specifically created for this,

302
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,880
for driving as ESL truck,

303
00:25:33,180 --> 00:25:36,460
we determined that one driver for this truck,

304
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:42,540
could service between 800 and 1200 homes as opposed to the railroad as the ones you currently

305
00:25:42,540 --> 00:25:48,280
see the yellow timbers at the back and do that the ASL drivers one driver could do this

306
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:55,300
in about seven to eight hours as opposed to 10 hours for two refuse collectors and a driver

307
00:25:55,300 --> 00:26:00,560
in the railroad a truck. So we're able to determine that from the months of the pilot program

308
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,580
that we had, which was quite impressive.

309
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,580
Now, we introduced those into decap communities,

310
00:26:07,860 --> 00:26:09,880
back in April, and what we're doing now

311
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,900
is we have 46 trucks that we're deploying throughout

312
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:15,040
or service areas.

313
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:16,720
That was said, it is which in Clisbert Haven

314
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,160
and I incorporated decap.

315
00:26:18,740 --> 00:26:20,240
I'm not sure if you saw the press release

316
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,340
that the CEO sent out about a month ago

317
00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:24,220
talking about the deployment of this trucks.

318
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080
And what we hope to do is to have all of this trucks

319
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,960
deployed through our service area, including in Brookhaven,

320
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,860
by the end of this month.

321
00:26:32,460 --> 00:26:34,680
We're almost there, we're about two thirds of the way there,

322
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,500
and we hope to have the remaining ones out total of 46 sometime within the next few weeks.

323
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,500
Now, as I indicated earlier, this trucks will be deployed through an entire service area.

324
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,660
All seven cities, so we have done Woody, Brooke Haven,

325
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,200
like Phelania, Pine Lake, Tucker, Stonecrest, and Stone Mountain,

326
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,960
as well as Unincorporated Decay.

327
00:26:54,660 --> 00:26:56,160
Now, there are quite a few benefits,

328
00:26:56,420 --> 00:26:57,860
and I also wanted to share with you

329
00:26:57,860 --> 00:27:04,800
why we introduced this trucks to the public. One fuel cost savings. This trucks use

330
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,720
compress natural gas, which we produce at Orlando, but the cab owned seminal road landfill.

331
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,100
And we use this gas to operate the trucks. That's a big cost savings for us,

332
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:20,000
as opposed to regular gasoline, which is more expensive. There also decreased labor costs for

333
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:26,920
estimating about $300 a day per truck in labor costs, because we'll have one person in

334
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,180
as opposed to three people as we have in the rare loaders.

335
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:32,200
Also, this trucks are friendly to the environment

336
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,560
because of the use of compressed natural glass,

337
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,460
which is cleaner for the environment as well.

338
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,360
Reduced employee liabilities and injuries.

339
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,060
So instead of employees,

340
00:27:43,340 --> 00:27:44,860
the field collection teams having

341
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:47,640
dominually service residents containers,

342
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,600
we're using that automated system to service them

343
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,720
with the arm collects it, tips the container

344
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,640
into the compartments and

345
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,900
that they roll cart back down to the ground. So with this automated system,

346
00:28:00,900 --> 00:28:05,400
a fully automated system, we expect employee liabilities and injuries to

347
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,620
decrease considerably. Because currently we do have a lot of work that's

348
00:28:09,620 --> 00:28:14,320
come claims from employees manually servicing this containers. So that's going to

349
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:20,360
be one of the main benefits of using this trucks. Of course we'll also optimize

350
00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:25,620
or collect a routing process or GIS analyst will talk to you briefly about this

351
00:28:25,620 --> 00:28:29,820
moment about changes in service days, et cetera. Of course, we'll improve

352
00:28:29,820 --> 00:28:33,480
curbsite collection efficiency because of this new automated technology.

353
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:39,940
And we're continually increasing our customer base. In 2019, we brought on the

354
00:28:39,940 --> 00:28:44,360
city of Stone Mountain, and we're on track, hopefully, to bring in the city of

355
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:50,240
Doravale in February of 2020. So by using this truck, we're kind of preparing for

356
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:54,940
the future of the expanding customer base that we have for our division. So

357
00:28:54,940 --> 00:29:00,360
that's another main reason why we fill the trucks with the best to have starting now.

358
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:08,800
And as far as the public education, we have created quite a few things that we're using to promote this initiative to residents.

359
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,180
And they're all contained in our website.

360
00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:21,200
And with the paperwork that you have, if you notice, the very first draft thing that you have at the top of the page with customized it to reference city of Brookhaven residents.

361
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:26,600
So we're saying, tell it letting residents know that the trucks are available in city within

362
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,100
the city of Brookhaven, and there are a couple of different communication collateral

363
00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:35,120
pieces that we've created to publicize this initiative.

364
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:41,420
One of them we're seeing is direct communication to residents, and what this is is, it's

365
00:29:41,420 --> 00:29:46,880
contained in the packet that you have, it's at what we're calling a decal or a sticker that

366
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:59,780
we will be placing on all residents garbage roll carts. We're not mailing letters to residents because we have determined based on past experience that you mail things and the residents a lot of residents don't read them.

367
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:29,500
So, we figure we have this decal here. It's a sticker starting this week. Our field collection teams are going to every household within our service area, including within the city of Brookhaven, and placing the sticker on ever residence garbage roll card with instructions and what residents are required to do to prepare for this new trucks. So, we're hoping that residents take the time to just read a couple of simple instructions, so they can know what their responsibility will be.

368
00:30:29,500 --> 00:30:41,320
In addition to that, we also have some other items on our website that are provided in the packet to you and we'll also be providing to birth so he can promote via social media platforms and also on your website.

369
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:58,100
But one thing of the importance that we'd like to show you now for about two or three minutes are two demo videos that YouTube videos that we created to show residents what they're expected to do to make sure that this program is a success.

370
00:30:58,100 --> 00:31:01,380
So, Anna, let's go to the M quick guide, please.

371
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,880
The Jakab County Sanitation Division is introducing

372
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:20,200
Automate Excibler Trunks to its garbage and recycling collection fleet.

373
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:25,260
As we prepare to launch this county-wide initiative in late fall 2019,

374
00:31:25,900 --> 00:31:29,560
there are some simple curbside collection procedures you need to follow

375
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,460
to ensure timely and efficient service.

376
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,800
All rural carts must be placed with the handle of the cart facing your home

377
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,000
and the lid facing the street.

378
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,960
If you have excess garbage, bulky items, or more than one garbage roll cart,

379
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,420
all items must be placed three to five feet apart.

380
00:31:51,390 --> 00:31:57,950
For households with excess garbage, large capacity 95 gallon garbage roll carts are available.

381
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,520
Roll carts and other items to be serviced must be placed as far away as possible

382
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:11,380
from mailboxes, vehicles, blower beds, or anything that could compete servicing.

383
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,400
Residents vehicles should not block the collection trucks service area.

384
00:32:18,220 --> 00:32:26,340
For more information, contact our customer service team at 404-294-2900 or sanitation

385
00:32:26,340 --> 00:32:29,460
at the cabcounty-GA.gov.

386
00:32:29,460 --> 00:32:37,780
You can also visit our website at decapsanditation.com or follow us on Twitter at decapsanditation.

387
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:43,600
Okay, so this is the first video we're calling a quick guide.

388
00:32:43,620 --> 00:32:46,700
Go straight to the point as to what residents are required to do,

389
00:32:46,780 --> 00:32:50,920
and all this information is contained on the staker that I talked about.

390
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,460
That's in the packets that you have.

391
00:32:52,940 --> 00:32:56,760
We also, if you don't mind, have another video that's slightly longer than this one

392
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,420
that goes into more detail about the,

393
00:32:59,420 --> 00:33:01,880
about the initiative talking about the benefits itself.

394
00:33:08,700 --> 00:33:10,560
The DeCab County Sanitation Division

395
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,300
is introducing automated side loader trucks

396
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,120
to its garbage and recycling collection fleet.

397
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,180
These new collection trucks will service residential garbage

398
00:33:20,180 --> 00:33:23,040
and single stream recycling collection streams

399
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,920
throughout the sanitation division service area.

400
00:33:26,540 --> 00:33:28,680
This initiative provides greater efficiency

401
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,580
to curb side collection service,

402
00:33:30,580 --> 00:33:33,820
due to improved curved-side collection technology.

403
00:33:34,700 --> 00:33:38,060
Benefits include improved service levels to residents,

404
00:33:38,660 --> 00:33:45,860
a reduction in employee liability concerns due to reduced employee injuries from eliminating manual servicing of rural carts,

405
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,460
the creation of a safer and optimum work environment for employees,

406
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:57,620
and reduce fuel costs due to the use of county-produced compress natural gas for operating the trucks.

407
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:04,800
As we prepare to launch this countywide initiative in late fall 2019, there are some simple

408
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:10,440
curbside collection procedures you need to follow to ensure timely and efficient service.

409
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,800
All row carts must be placed with the handle of the cart facing your home and the lid facing

410
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,520
the street.

411
00:34:18,820 --> 00:34:24,900
If you have excess garbage, bulky items, or more than one garbage row cart, all items must

412
00:34:24,900 --> 00:34:27,200
place 3 to 5 feet apart.

413
00:34:30,630 --> 00:34:36,050
Roll cards and other items to be serviced must be placed as far away as possible from

414
00:34:36,050 --> 00:34:41,430
mailboxes, vehicles, flower beds, or anything that could compete servicing.

415
00:34:42,670 --> 00:34:47,810
To ensure our collection trucks can successfully navigate your neighborhood, kindly refrain

416
00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:52,730
from parking vehicles in our service path on your step-to-prolection day.

417
00:34:52,730 --> 00:34:57,170
residents vehicle to should not block the collection trucks service area.

418
00:34:58,170 --> 00:35:03,050
Power our collection procedures. There must be no loose garbage inside the garbage world

419
00:35:03,050 --> 00:35:10,790
cart. All garbage must be placed in secure plastic bags prior to placement in the world cart. All boxes

420
00:35:10,790 --> 00:35:22,710
placed at the curb should be flattened. Also, remember to place all items to be serviced at the

421
00:35:22,710 --> 00:35:26,490
to follow these procedures may cause a delay in servicing.

422
00:35:27,350 --> 00:35:32,850
For a larger household with excess garbage concerns, we strongly recommend obtaining a large

423
00:35:32,850 --> 00:35:38,250
capacity 95 gallon garbage roll cart for a 1-time fee of $15.

424
00:35:39,230 --> 00:35:45,370
This will reduce or eliminate curbside garbage overflow, promote standardized garbage container

425
00:35:45,370 --> 00:35:48,790
use, and help maintain aesthetically pleasing neighborhoods.

426
00:35:49,810 --> 00:35:55,890
Further, securing excess garbage in a rural cart eliminates household garbage being susceptible

427
00:35:55,890 --> 00:35:59,750
to outside elements such as animals and inclement weather.

428
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:05,850
We hope you join us in this quest to optimize service levels for county residents as we

429
00:36:05,850 --> 00:36:11,170
continue to serve with efficiency, accountability, resilience, and integrity.

430
00:36:13,590 --> 00:36:18,790
For more information or if you have any questions, please contact our customer service team

431
00:36:18,790 --> 00:36:29,330
telephone at 404-294-2900 or by email at sanitation at the cabcountyGA.gov.

432
00:36:29,590 --> 00:36:35,750
Residents can also visit our website at the cabsanditation.com or follow us on Twitter

433
00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:38,950
at D-Cab Sanitation for further updates.

434
00:36:39,710 --> 00:36:44,350
It is always a pleasure serving you and we look forward to serving you again soon.

435
00:36:44,350 --> 00:36:51,010
Thank you. Well, we believe that the stickers that will be placing on residents

436
00:36:51,010 --> 00:36:56,930
roll cards and this damn two-damnel videos will perhaps be the most instrumental in

437
00:36:56,930 --> 00:37:02,090
getting information out to the residents that they can know what's required of them. Do you

438
00:37:02,090 --> 00:37:04,130
have any questions for me?

439
00:37:08,730 --> 00:37:12,650
Thank you. Yes, my pleasure. Thank you for your presentation, pleasure.

440
00:37:12,810 --> 00:37:17,530
Because we're going to have questions. Sure. Now we have answers. Yes. And thank you for

441
00:37:17,530 --> 00:37:23,150
featuring in one of the shots. More than one of the shots, one of some of the landscaping

442
00:37:23,150 --> 00:37:27,370
that the city of Brookhaven installed to replace landscaping that was damaged during the

443
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:31,950
Stratfield Drive Drainage Project. I don't know, Harry, if you thought that nicely

444
00:37:31,950 --> 00:37:33,290
done, it looked lovely.

445
00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:36,270
I think he's a brilliant role card as well.

446
00:37:36,450 --> 00:37:37,090
They should in there.

447
00:37:37,850 --> 00:37:38,670
Yes, thank you for that.

448
00:37:39,030 --> 00:37:39,310
Yes, yes.

449
00:37:39,970 --> 00:37:46,110
Okay, and so for people who don't need to upgrade to the 95 gallon, but made once or twice a

450
00:37:46,110 --> 00:37:52,990
have something too large to go into the current trash cans. They can just put that a little

451
00:37:52,990 --> 00:37:57,450
bit further apart and someone, the, what did you call them, the refuse?

452
00:37:57,810 --> 00:38:01,810
Yes, refuse driver collector. Well, get out and get it.

453
00:38:01,830 --> 00:38:06,030
Absolutely, yes. And in the frequently asked questions document that you have, it doesn't

454
00:38:06,030 --> 00:38:10,870
decay that yes. There are no changes to the policy of regard to excess garbage at the

455
00:38:10,870 --> 00:38:14,190
curve. They just have to be placed three to five feet apart. You can't several bags.

456
00:38:14,190 --> 00:38:18,570
And yes, the Refuge Driver Collector will get out of the truck and service those.

457
00:38:20,890 --> 00:38:28,610
You also made reference to the obvious efficiency in terms of personnel of this system.

458
00:38:29,330 --> 00:38:33,030
And so is there a reduction in workforce accompanying this?

459
00:38:33,230 --> 00:38:33,290
Yes.

460
00:38:33,330 --> 00:38:33,930
Great question.

461
00:38:34,030 --> 00:38:34,890
Absolutely not.

462
00:38:34,910 --> 00:38:40,070
What we're doing is we'll be repurposing some of the employees, or currently on the railroad

463
00:38:40,070 --> 00:38:44,370
is in a moving over. What we're doing is promoting some employees from the railroad to trucks

464
00:38:44,370 --> 00:38:48,710
once we're currently using to the Refuge driver collective positions, as some will be promoted,

465
00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:53,670
and others who are not being used for the ASLs will be repurposed to other areas like special

466
00:38:53,670 --> 00:38:59,050
collections, bulky items, commercial collections, et cetera. So no one's losing jobs at all.

467
00:39:02,830 --> 00:39:06,110
So is there an actual savings to the county of this system, man?

468
00:39:06,110 --> 00:39:25,670
Yes, we're estimating about $300 a day per truck for the ASLs. Yes, about $300 a day per truck in labor costs and of course the fuel cost savings because we're using the compress natural gas, which is cheaper and which is produced after a landfill at a renewable gas facility.

469
00:39:26,590 --> 00:39:38,470
Okay, so but the labor cost would be salaries paid to employees who would be working those trucks, but they'll now be repurposed and so they'll that'll be spent on their salaries working elsewhere.

470
00:39:39,090 --> 00:39:50,650
Well, yes, that's true. Some will be repurposed, yes, but what we're doing is through the process of attrition as well. Employees leave. We want higher anybody to fill those positions, they'll be cost savings there as well.

471
00:39:50,650 --> 00:39:54,790
But we're looking at the main cost savings being the fuel cost, because we're trying to move

472
00:39:54,790 --> 00:40:00,850
all our trucks to renewable fuels, compressed natural gas, which we produce, so that will

473
00:40:00,850 --> 00:40:03,630
be the primary cost savings force with the C-tracks.

474
00:40:04,510 --> 00:40:10,390
Okay, and I noticed one other thing that comes up frequently among my constituents,

475
00:40:12,430 --> 00:40:12,530
and that

476
00:40:12,530 --> 00:40:21,110
that there's an effort now to reduce use of plastics and yet in our Decab County trash cans,

477
00:40:21,310 --> 00:40:26,170
we are actually required to bag our trash in plastic bags, correct?

478
00:40:27,530 --> 00:40:31,970
So, reduce plastics for recycling, recycling purposes.

479
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:36,350
Now, that's something that came up to the interest, one of us in our staff management staff

480
00:40:36,350 --> 00:40:36,730
meeting.

481
00:40:37,130 --> 00:40:41,870
Some residents are using plastics in the recycling containers, I'm the shouldn't, because

482
00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:47,490
everything is co-mingled as we know, but the garbage must be bagged.

483
00:40:47,870 --> 00:40:51,330
It must be bagged, and there's just no way we can go around that one.

484
00:40:51,450 --> 00:40:55,830
What we're recycling, we're asking residents not to have recycled items and plastic bags

485
00:40:55,830 --> 00:41:02,050
because it's not a good practice for the recycling processes, prats, carostoric, et cetera.

486
00:41:02,530 --> 00:41:05,890
But we just have no way around bagging the garbage.

487
00:41:06,010 --> 00:41:07,370
It must be bagged.

488
00:41:08,750 --> 00:41:14,870
Okay, and I, and I see that it's required to actually be bagged in plastic bags.

489
00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:25,310
I, myself, have tried bagging it in, you know, a brown paper bag, bagging it in compostable plastic bags,

490
00:41:25,350 --> 00:41:31,150
which, in my experience, are not yet up to snuff, actually, being sturdy.

491
00:41:32,110 --> 00:41:38,510
But I hope that as your efforts move forward in the months and years to come, that y'all

492
00:41:38,510 --> 00:41:44,070
can look for alternatives to having to require all the cab county citizens to use plastic

493
00:41:44,070 --> 00:41:48,810
bags for that purpose even if right now it's necessary to your process.

494
00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:49,550
Yes, sure.

495
00:41:49,770 --> 00:41:49,970
Yes.

496
00:41:50,030 --> 00:41:50,730
Thank you.

497
00:41:51,010 --> 00:41:51,230
Thank you.

498
00:41:51,870 --> 00:41:53,710
I've seen some new stuff about that.

499
00:41:53,710 --> 00:41:56,890
We're probably 10, 15, 20 years off on that.

500
00:41:56,910 --> 00:41:59,570
In every guard there, there's new AI technology

501
00:41:59,570 --> 00:42:02,430
and about all my sorting and stuff like that.

502
00:42:04,270 --> 00:42:08,210
But we're a way, the way the technology's not like that.

503
00:42:08,750 --> 00:42:09,650
But I agree with you.

504
00:42:09,850 --> 00:42:10,530
All right, John.

505
00:42:12,090 --> 00:42:12,190
Nothing.

506
00:42:12,190 --> 00:42:12,630
No questions.

507
00:42:12,930 --> 00:42:13,230
Thanks.

508
00:42:14,670 --> 00:42:15,390
Thanks for coming.

509
00:42:15,530 --> 00:42:16,190
Yes, my pleasure.

510
00:42:16,190 --> 00:42:16,950
I'll show you the presentation.

511
00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:20,090
I think one of the other big cost savings you mentioned

512
00:42:20,890 --> 00:42:22,850
that I learned in the presentation, you know,

513
00:42:22,850 --> 00:42:28,210
We have a couple of years ago to us, was that your work and comps claims were something

514
00:42:28,210 --> 00:42:36,070
like 30% of your salaries, so without having to haul each of those things, you'll have

515
00:42:36,070 --> 00:42:38,050
a significant impact on the work of your work.

516
00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:46,850
Just to be sure, I understand a couple of the general policies, so we are currently all glass

517
00:42:46,850 --> 00:42:48,570
is going in the green bins, right?

518
00:42:48,850 --> 00:42:51,290
We're not doing any recycling in the glass and you can't count it.

519
00:42:51,290 --> 00:43:04,290
We are still recycling glass, but we have this public containers as containers that we have throughout the county, and they should be there's one in Brookeron Park, Blackburn Park, Blackburn Park, and Bradwood.

520
00:43:04,450 --> 00:43:11,270
And Bradwood, yes. So we do have this, but no glass in, I'm perpside recycling anymore. That's stopped if you.

521
00:43:11,370 --> 00:43:15,790
The glass, they've got to take it, our citizens take it to our, one more to the location.

522
00:43:16,030 --> 00:43:17,250
Yes, yes.

523
00:43:20,910 --> 00:43:26,150
And the blue recycling bins, no bags, whatsoever, no bags.

524
00:43:26,150 --> 00:43:26,170
No bags.

525
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:27,670
Didn't want to use anything to start in there.

526
00:43:27,890 --> 00:43:28,670
It's threaded there.

527
00:43:28,750 --> 00:43:29,530
It's single streams.

528
00:43:29,790 --> 00:43:30,790
So that's the feature.

529
00:43:30,810 --> 00:43:31,610
It's single streams.

530
00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:32,930
Everything's cool, mangoed.

531
00:43:34,630 --> 00:43:36,210
And then the placement on the road.

532
00:43:36,570 --> 00:43:41,170
I saw, it looked like someone were in driveway somewhere on grass.

533
00:43:42,570 --> 00:43:48,190
do you want it or should these things be placed on the road or in the driver's place?

534
00:43:48,190 --> 00:43:50,330
We are a garbage and recycling containers.

535
00:43:51,130 --> 00:43:55,530
What are residents normally put their weather that doesn't need to be a change with that?

536
00:43:55,530 --> 00:44:02,650
What we're asking with this automated side load specifically is they should be away from mailboxes and flower beds etc.

537
00:44:02,830 --> 00:44:09,870
That's what we're requiring but we realize there's some areas where they know the curves might be a bit of a challenge or

538
00:44:09,870 --> 00:44:14,890
So they just place them wherever they've been placing them over the years that will surface them.

539
00:44:15,170 --> 00:44:17,910
And it doesn't look like there's any apparatus that turn those things.

540
00:44:18,310 --> 00:44:22,370
So they need to make sure that the lid is open towards the street.

541
00:44:22,750 --> 00:44:25,870
Yes, yes, and the handle of the roll cart facing home.

542
00:44:26,210 --> 00:44:30,010
Yes, that driver's got to get out and manually turn the thing to set it up.

543
00:44:30,110 --> 00:44:37,370
If it's not right, because the way the automated system is set up, yes, it's set up to collect from the front part.

544
00:44:37,370 --> 00:44:39,470
so it just makes it easier for them.

545
00:44:40,210 --> 00:44:43,890
But if a resident doesn't put it the way that it's supposed to be, of course,

546
00:44:44,010 --> 00:44:48,630
the refuse driver collector is supposed to get out of the truck and service it man.

547
00:44:49,170 --> 00:44:51,110
But either turn it the proper way of service it manually,

548
00:44:51,370 --> 00:44:53,870
turning it the proper way would be the better option.

549
00:44:54,310 --> 00:44:57,750
Yeah, I think that, you know, the best medication, huh?

550
00:44:57,790 --> 00:44:58,030
Yeah.

551
00:44:58,170 --> 00:44:58,250
Yeah.

552
00:44:58,250 --> 00:44:59,970
And so on that one, I'd say maybe on that stick.

553
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:07,660
Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you. You also have another sticker. That's a good idea. Just put a sticker says, arrow, this way towards road maybe right here.

554
00:45:07,660 --> 00:45:16,260
On your top of your thing right now, it's a hard-coded into your container.

555
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,260
You may not see it, but it's said, never seen it.

556
00:45:19,820 --> 00:45:23,340
Yes, but I agree. She might have to throw a sticker front.

557
00:45:23,340 --> 00:45:34,340
Yes, saying that well, that's what the sticker that we're putting on the roll parts to do say that handle facing the the home and the lead opening facing the street, so we're hoping that residents read it.

558
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,600
Yes, yes, my pleasure.

559
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,000
I mean Joe.

560
00:45:39,300 --> 00:45:41,120
Thank you again and enjoy that.

561
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:41,860
That's my pleasure.

562
00:45:42,340 --> 00:45:46,580
So, so, Bates and I were actively involved in this conversation early on in the city.

563
00:45:46,580 --> 00:45:53,340
because we entertained the option of looking for a third-secondary party to provide our

564
00:45:53,340 --> 00:45:57,760
sanitation pickup and we opted to stay with the cab county. Thank you. Yeah, we're

565
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,580
good. And because it was, it was the right decision. Yes, thank you. In some of the things we

566
00:46:02,580 --> 00:46:08,420
came up with then was especially on the narrow streets from the GIS, I'm sure you identified

567
00:46:08,420 --> 00:46:13,160
that's where it's a lot of difficulties occur. Yes. With having the proper room to maneuver

568
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:18,920
those arms to work around the cars, especially in apartment areas, or where this rentals.

569
00:46:21,660 --> 00:46:26,840
So if somebody doesn't do it right, and the driver has to get out, do you like sapopecia

570
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,140
paper on there or something, saying this was done in correctly, please, in the future,

571
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:31,840
so you don't have to do that again?

572
00:46:32,420 --> 00:46:33,720
Yes, actually, that's a good question.

573
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,460
We created this door hanger.

574
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:41,000
So what it says is, it reminds people, you know, as a courtesy of the friendly reminder, you're

575
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,960
not following the commute, curbside preparation procedures, so we're leaving this and just

576
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,460
reminding people of what the proper procedures, preparation procedures are, so we'll

577
00:46:51,460 --> 00:46:54,740
just put this, they'll be cut out here, so it'll be on the handle of the roll cart.

578
00:46:55,620 --> 00:46:59,880
And for repeat offenders, if someone doesn't understand, they'll be a period of time where

579
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:04,880
we have to give rest in some time to become acclimated to this new preparation procedures,

580
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,960
but if we see their repeat offenders, months go by and nothing's happening, they're still

581
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:13,080
not following them, and we'll certainly leave this on the handle of an old kind.

582
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:17,900
But I mean, if somebody has to get out and actually dress it, you need that immediately

583
00:47:17,900 --> 00:47:19,860
or after a series of...

584
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:22,020
After a couple of times.

585
00:47:22,180 --> 00:47:23,420
Yes, after a few times we will.

586
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,320
I would think the first time you'd want to just slap something on just to remind them, please correct it.

587
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:28,060
Yes, sure.

588
00:47:28,100 --> 00:47:28,260
Sure.

589
00:47:28,260 --> 00:47:29,560
We can do that as well.

590
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:29,720
Yes.

591
00:47:30,620 --> 00:47:31,800
We can do that as well.

592
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:33,740
You can do that out of the truck the better, right?

593
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:34,540
Yes, sure.

594
00:47:36,060 --> 00:47:43,660
So, I wanted to take you on your pilots to actually get this to be an efficient run where you didn't have to go through all of the secondary steps.

595
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:52,060
A few months, the very first refugees driver collector that we had out there was in the North area was a woman.

596
00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:58,940
The name is Tony a person and she's going to be featured on a Delphus B feature story about the ASL and being the first female driver.

597
00:47:58,940 --> 00:48:05,040
So she was the first person, and she's the one we used to try to determine how this will go.

598
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,460
If any changes need to be made, then we added a couple of male drivers as well.

599
00:48:09,860 --> 00:48:16,400
And after a few months, we determined especially about the 7-8-hour average time for one person

600
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,860
servicing all the homes on a route.

601
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:20,660
Yes, it only took us a few months.

602
00:48:20,900 --> 00:48:24,200
We're, of course, there's still things that we're working on where changing if you technical

603
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,260
aspects of the trucks themselves, but generally things are going very well.

604
00:48:28,260 --> 00:48:37,880
Yeah, this is a much new step I apologize for your work on this. It looks like you've really got your bases covered, and it's the next step.

605
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:45,940
Yes, absolutely thank you. And I think you're getting to a question about certain areas where the spacing may be a challenge to operate the trucks.

606
00:48:46,740 --> 00:48:56,660
We have every commission district, we've identified some areas, some communities where that would be a challenge, where the trucks may be too large to serve a certain areas.

607
00:48:56,660 --> 00:49:01,220
So what we'll do in those areas we've already identified most did not all of them throughout

608
00:49:01,220 --> 00:49:06,940
the county and we'll have we'll use the same trucks we're using now the rail orders

609
00:49:06,940 --> 00:49:11,200
with the yellow tippers and we also have some others even in the Dunwoody area for instance

610
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:15,400
where the trucks are the species really tied as well so we'll have what we call parks trucks

611
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,140
which are smaller trucks even than the ones of the yellow tippers so we do have a planted place

612
00:49:20,140 --> 00:49:26,120
to address areas like these where they'll be space constraints we've identified those like I said

613
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:35,120
So the ASLs will not be in every community broader service area, because they are some communities where space is going to be a challenge, it will be hard to navigate them.

614
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:37,100
Thank you. Thank you.

615
00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:45,460
My pleasure. So before we end, if you don't mind, I just have a tackle here just to talk to you briefly for about two or three minutes about the collection date service.

616
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:53,340
So what we've done, like, based on your question with the routing,

617
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,340
actually what we have right now is when we move to this changes in service,

618
00:49:58,340 --> 00:50:02,420
using the ASL, or have the lemon route, or the gabby,

619
00:50:02,500 --> 00:50:05,940
sorry, touching route for the gabby in brook even,

620
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:10,960
and we'll have the lemon route for the recycling and the lemon route for your yard waste.

621
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:17,460
So, with the system we put in place, we use the leverage of the GIS technology to identify

622
00:50:17,460 --> 00:50:22,780
the small areas, unlike my colleagues said, we are using a hybrid system, where some areas

623
00:50:22,780 --> 00:50:26,780
we know we can't put the ASL in or we put in the real loaders.

624
00:50:27,220 --> 00:50:32,520
And those tropes that we are putting in, we are probably making sure that tropes, that

625
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:37,500
and service the particular area, and for the small tropes, the areas that the ASL can

626
00:50:37,500 --> 00:50:41,620
in, but we have just some few houses in that particular route.

627
00:50:41,740 --> 00:50:45,260
So it doesn't make sense for us to put the railroad as they were just going to use this more

628
00:50:45,260 --> 00:50:47,020
parking, this more parked truck.

629
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:52,460
And in total, we are going to do the service there for brok having the exact value going

630
00:50:52,460 --> 00:50:58,700
to be one day, and we have close to 12,000 houses that will be on the Montezavis day.

631
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,040
We have a small pocket of ours.

632
00:51:01,620 --> 00:51:03,640
It's, I think, executive park view.

633
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:08,440
it's a town room and there are 50 houses in that area. It's part of Brookhaven,

634
00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:13,480
where we're servicing that particular town room on Thursday. Because of the location,

635
00:51:13,780 --> 00:51:19,260
we're trying to create an efficiency in our operation, so we are trying to find the

636
00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:23,440
end optimization of our routes. So the best thing for us to do with that particular 50

637
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:27,560
house is to put it along with other routes, so that when the truck is coming in,

638
00:51:27,620 --> 00:51:31,840
they don't have to travel distance from each other, so we'll put that particular area.

639
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:36,840
So that's the only particular spot that we have in Brookhaven, now it tells me.

640
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:41,160
Every other day, every other area would be Monday.

641
00:51:41,740 --> 00:51:45,800
So we are taking the right now, the current practice is 50%.

642
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:52,080
One day, 50% tells me, so we are taking almost every single Brookhaven, now it's Monday.

643
00:51:52,980 --> 00:51:54,540
So that's the concept we are working with.

644
00:51:55,340 --> 00:51:57,800
And as we keep going, we keep improving what we are doing.

645
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,760
So, the same truck is doing both the garbage and the recycling at the same time.

646
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:20,000
We'll have three separate trucks, so there'll be three trucks coming into neighborhoods every day.

647
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,020
One for garbage, one for recycling, one for yard trimmings.

648
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,320
The air recycling and garbage, the ASLs will only be used for recycling and garbage.

649
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:32,040
the ones of the yellow tippers, the rail loaders for your trimmings, will not be using the ASL's

650
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:37,280
VR trimmings. But just to add to what DAP was said, with regard to a change in the service

651
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:42,260
days, we are not ready to do it right this minute. We're just optimizing the routes, which is what

652
00:52:42,260 --> 00:52:48,180
DAP will have done so efficiently over the last few months, and we'll let you know when we're

653
00:52:48,180 --> 00:52:53,400
ready to make the change in service days, and we'll also get information out to residents in

654
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:58,920
of time. So they'll now. We'll have another sticker going on roll cards and some other methods

655
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,920
we plan to use to get the information out. But we're not ready to do this. It could perhaps

656
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:09,040
some time early spring, early to mid spring there about. I'm sure we're going to assist with the

657
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:13,120
communications on this to our publications. Absolutely. Absolutely.

658
00:53:17,140 --> 00:53:18,860
Okay. Well, thank you so much

659
00:53:18,860 --> 00:53:22,400
before we end, I do have just to say thank

660
00:53:40,100 --> 00:53:42,140
you very much

661
00:53:44,150 --> 00:53:46,910
okay so unless you have any of

662
00:53:46,910 --> 00:53:52,510
the questions I think we're finished yes absolutely my pleasure it's been a pleasure

663
00:53:52,510 --> 00:53:55,250
being here yes thank you

664
00:53:55,870 --> 00:54:02,470
Okay, we went on, G dot MMP update, Michael Nader from G dot.

665
00:54:02,750 --> 00:54:04,250
Come on up.

666
00:54:06,110 --> 00:54:06,330
Thank you.

667
00:54:06,330 --> 00:54:07,170
Mr. Mayor of City Council.

668
00:54:07,550 --> 00:54:11,470
Thank you for having us give us the opportunity to update you on the program.

669
00:54:12,910 --> 00:54:14,790
I do want to apologize on behalf of Tim Matthews.

670
00:54:14,910 --> 00:54:15,590
He's supposed to be here.

671
00:54:15,730 --> 00:54:18,090
His name is on the invite and on the agenda.

672
00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:20,690
Last minute on planned the obligation.

673
00:54:21,250 --> 00:54:23,590
Unfortunately, so he does apologize for that.

674
00:54:23,590 --> 00:54:35,530
And if I would please, if you don't mind, I'd like to defer major specific questions on the program to the public information, open houses, series of open houses.

675
00:54:35,750 --> 00:54:46,450
We've got seven of them planned for, I believe, 23rd, 28th and 30th of January. Certainly, you can ask some basic general questions that I'll attempt to answer, but I don't have any of my staff here today.

676
00:54:46,450 --> 00:54:48,330
My name is Michael Nader.

677
00:54:48,750 --> 00:54:51,010
I represent GDI to work for the program management

678
00:54:51,010 --> 00:54:53,270
consultancy firm, H&TB.

679
00:54:54,270 --> 00:54:55,230
And we've got the program.

680
00:54:55,250 --> 00:54:57,150
We're managing the native mobility investment program.

681
00:54:57,330 --> 00:54:59,010
We'll be having GDI, a long side of GDI,

682
00:54:59,130 --> 00:55:00,310
and Tim Matthews and his staff.

683
00:55:01,370 --> 00:55:03,810
Today's update is on the top end express lanes.

684
00:55:05,090 --> 00:55:06,490
And we'll give you a little flavor as well,

685
00:55:06,590 --> 00:55:10,610
about the programs, what we're basically

686
00:55:10,610 --> 00:55:12,010
tagging as a reboot.

687
00:55:12,790 --> 00:55:14,790
You've seen it on the media.

688
00:55:15,330 --> 00:55:20,090
you've seen a lot of articles as to the reboot of the programs, some of the projects

689
00:55:20,090 --> 00:55:25,630
will push out a little bit on the schedule and some other mini size advanced improvement project

690
00:55:25,630 --> 00:55:29,710
will spun off in the program. That's what I'd like to discuss today. It's a brief presentation

691
00:55:29,710 --> 00:55:31,910
about 18 slides that should take us long.

692
00:55:37,690 --> 00:55:40,130
All right, major mobility investment program, top-end

693
00:55:40,130 --> 00:55:46,590
express lanes. You guys are familiar with the top-end express lanes project. Today I'll talk a little

694
00:55:46,590 --> 00:55:51,550
about what top and east express lanes is, what top and west express lanes is. That's the major

695
00:55:51,550 --> 00:55:57,490
change on the project. We basically, you know, the top and as a project remains as a single

696
00:55:57,490 --> 00:56:05,030
project from an EIS environmental impact statement in NEPA, environmental record of decision process.

697
00:56:05,490 --> 00:56:11,650
However, the top and east express lanes, west express lanes are two construction packages, phases

698
00:56:11,650 --> 00:56:15,710
that we split off to kind of ease the pain and the pressure on the industry.

699
00:56:16,530 --> 00:56:22,190
We heard back from the industry, Commissioner Russell, Commissioner Russell, McMurray, heard back from the industry.

700
00:56:23,730 --> 00:56:29,270
And they were very concerned as to the size of the project, being a single project that was going to overwhelm the market.

701
00:56:30,130 --> 00:56:34,350
I'd let alone the city of Atlanta Metro from a traffic management perspective.

702
00:56:43,050 --> 00:56:44,510
There it is. I got a point at that way, I guess.

703
00:56:51,300 --> 00:56:51,900
All right.

704
00:56:51,900 --> 00:57:00,380
This is, you know, Georgia has been leading the economic development in growth, regionally

705
00:57:00,380 --> 00:57:01,200
in the nation.

706
00:57:02,380 --> 00:57:05,200
These numbers, again, are not foreign to you all.

707
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,660
Those companies are based here.

708
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,040
These are headquartered here.

709
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,580
Three and a half percent statewide unemployment rate.

710
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:18,440
The expected population growth is near $3 million by 2050, so we'll go from current

711
00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:25,260
five and three quarters of Papuaurt and I five million, two well ahead of nine million, well

712
00:57:25,260 --> 00:57:30,220
ahead of eight million nine million by 2050. As the greatest way to say it is we'll have the

713
00:57:30,220 --> 00:57:37,020
population of Denver come on top and fast right now in by 2050. Denver. Denver. That's yeah.

714
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:42,100
Yeah. It's the same foundation as Denver. So we have our population take Denver. That's put on top.

715
00:57:42,500 --> 00:57:47,000
It's 20 say Denver. The reason I trucked a little because I just came from Denver but two and a

716
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,560
years ago, I really looked at line of metrics. I was there for about seven, seven years.

717
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:56,020
You're the first one. I should know that. As we why did I come here, I love the city of

718
00:57:56,020 --> 00:57:56,260
America.

719
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:04,540
You're aware of the busiest airport in the world, not just America.

720
00:58:05,420 --> 00:58:10,840
You know, it's a mess of airport. The Fort Savannah is becoming really busy now. One of the projects

721
00:58:10,840 --> 00:58:15,280
that we have on the Major Mobility Investment Program is the commercial vehicle lanes. I 75,

722
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:22,700
commercial vehicle lanes, another massive design bill finance operating finance project.

723
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:33,400
Anyways, self-explanatory, 18, 4,500 companies are based in Atlanta, 32, 4,000 companies.

724
00:58:34,500 --> 00:58:36,880
All right, we'll move on to the good stuff as far as the program.

725
00:58:37,460 --> 00:58:43,660
The program evolved a little bit, so we have four major interchange projects as it stands today.

726
00:58:43,660 --> 00:58:45,980
with one under construction 1695 in Savannah.

727
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:51,520
At 25, 20 West interchange, you've all been aware

728
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,700
of that in the East interchange.

729
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:54,780
The new one that's been added,

730
00:58:54,820 --> 00:58:57,260
it's a really little mini advanced improvement project

731
00:58:57,260 --> 00:58:57,780
we're calling.

732
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,420
It's the Pistory Industrial Boulevard

733
00:59:00,420 --> 00:59:02,980
Improvement, Call of Events Improvement Project.

734
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,140
That's one of six advanced improvement projects.

735
00:59:05,260 --> 00:59:07,540
And I'll talk about those in a graphic this coming up.

736
00:59:08,140 --> 00:59:12,860
Five major quest lanes projects, East Express lanes, top end,

737
00:59:12,860 --> 00:59:17,300
which is of interest to y'all, that stop and e-stop and west.

738
00:59:17,980 --> 00:59:23,700
A split of construction packages, and then, of course, you've got the west side express lanes, and then the 400 express lanes.

739
00:59:25,540 --> 00:59:30,080
A four major interstate widening projects, pays 185.

740
00:59:30,140 --> 00:59:31,520
That's under construction now.

741
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,240
I-16 is under construction, done in Savannah.

742
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:41,240
volume, volume, volume, volume. 85 phase two, basically just finalize the request for the

743
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:46,140
folder, RFF, it's a design build project, production design build. 85 Westbound collector

744
00:59:46,140 --> 00:59:52,720
distrera lanes, so that is, I do 85 sorry, that is one of the six advanced improvement

745
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:57,180
projects we'll spun off, and that's literally Westbound collector distrera lanes between

746
00:59:57,180 --> 00:59:59,980
is for Dunwoody and Jeff.

747
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:07,220
We don't really know what you're doing. Westbound only CD lanes. Commercial vehicle lanes

748
01:00:07,220 --> 01:00:14,500
to serve the growth of the poor that I just mentioned a few moments ago, I-75, four bridge

749
01:00:14,500 --> 01:00:19,740
improvement projects. All of those projects are the advanced improvement projects that are, as

750
01:00:19,740 --> 01:00:25,300
of recent, have been spent off of the program. That would be on the Westside Express lanes.

751
01:00:25,300 --> 01:00:33,740
we have a main line I-25 widening over CS section of southern railroads. We have west side,

752
01:00:33,740 --> 01:00:41,100
we have three bridges on the west side that need, as well, to be rebuilt to express

753
01:00:41,100 --> 01:00:47,900
lanes projects. East side, we have three bridges to be replaced and then also on the I-25

754
01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:53,240
top and we have westbound auxiliary lanes between Roswell Road and Riverside. It does include

755
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:58,620
The crossover bridge over a brown and bridge over to 85 that'll be replaced as well as part of that project.

756
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,600
That's the whole program in the nutshell.

757
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:14,060
Used to be 11 now it's 18 including these many spin-off projects.

758
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,840
Again, the graphic on the left should give you kind of an orientation where we are.

759
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:26,220
The circle is the I-25 run Atlanta Metro, the projects are numbered.

760
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:31,280
What really spend too much time talking through this is graphic.

761
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,360
I'll just keep it up for about 15 seconds.

762
01:01:33,980 --> 01:01:35,340
I have a look at it.

763
01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:37,200
Very self-explanatory.

764
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,400
We'll come back to it if you have a question on that later.

765
01:01:50,700 --> 01:01:51,140
Batteries.

766
01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:51,880
There it is.

767
01:01:52,140 --> 01:01:52,240
All right.

768
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:53,780
So there's the program schedule.

769
01:01:54,700 --> 01:01:58,120
As you can see, we try to line up a case of a reason.

770
01:01:58,260 --> 01:01:59,840
A couple slides later.

771
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,560
I'll speak to the reasons behind what we're calling the reboot.

772
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:10,100
The major reason, frankly, is the market and the city and the city and the city and the city of traffic management perspective.

773
01:02:10,140 --> 01:02:16,540
As you can see, a cluster of projects will be delivered 2024-26, the yellow bar is the construction bar.

774
01:02:16,780 --> 01:02:18,240
Really, the design build bar.

775
01:02:18,900 --> 01:02:24,200
The blue bar is the preliminary engineering that we're currently working on.

776
01:02:24,820 --> 01:02:29,740
The green cross is the start of procurement and the end of the blue line.

777
01:02:29,740 --> 01:02:36,060
beginning of the yellow is when we award the project for either design built.

778
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:41,920
Those clusters of projects in 2024-2026 open traffic are designed build only.

779
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:48,560
We have a cluster of projects that are designed build finance. Those are the two inner change projects.

780
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,460
Each inner change and west interchange. I believe I have I20.

781
01:02:52,460 --> 01:02:58,480
And then 400 in top end east up and west, as well as CDL,

782
01:02:58,660 --> 01:03:04,480
commercial vehicle lanes, will be designed, build, finance, maintain over 30, 35 year life cycle.

783
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:18,720
What we've done here is basically spread the pain to give a little bit more relief to the city and to the market by splitting the top end into two projects east and west.

784
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:40,940
The top end east lines up with east express lanes, which is pushed out about 18 months, roughly, and then top end west lines up with west express lanes, which is pushed out further out, probably about 2 years or so, to line up with an open traffic at 232 on west end in 2028 on the east end.

785
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:48,600
I said, you're not eastbound or westbound, it's just on these part of the circle and then westbound of the circle.

786
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:49,700
Okay. Absolutely.

787
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:55,280
Okay. So that should sort of give you a flavor on the timeline.

788
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:57,700
Oh, sorry.

789
01:03:57,860 --> 01:04:01,960
All right. This is a good one to go through kind of give you an orientation on the advanced approval projects.

790
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:08,420
So we talked about the CD lanes, the westbound CD lanes from Chandler Dunwoody after Dunwoody.

791
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,320
That's blue. That's number one.

792
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:19,140
That is literally between Ashford and Chambley Dunwoody, CD lanes, various separated from the main lanes.

793
01:04:19,940 --> 01:04:29,260
Separate project altogether, separate independent utilities and environmental process, categorical exclusion, as opposed to an environmental impact statement that used to be as part of the top end project.

794
01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:36,980
Number two will be the Peach Tree Industrial Boulevard PIB, you'll see in yellow there, ramp improvements.

795
01:04:37,700 --> 01:04:42,780
You ramp improvements basically to kind of get those out of the way to clear the way for the

796
01:04:42,780 --> 01:04:49,520
brought-ups up and express lanes, project coming through. The third one in green is the west side

797
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:59,850
railroad crossing two widenings of mainline 285 on the west end, over one over CSX and one over

798
01:04:59,850 --> 01:05:06,970
for southern west side bridge replacements. Those are the three bridges we

799
01:05:06,970 --> 01:05:13,950
at us book about South Carb Drive is one of them. Bolton wrote is one of them and the last one is

800
01:05:13,950 --> 01:05:22,350
D.L. Holloway. Holloway Parkway. D.L. Holloway Parkway. Moving over to East side and you

801
01:05:22,350 --> 01:05:27,210
have other three other bridges Redwing Circle coming to and I will be blend wood if I can

802
01:05:27,210 --> 01:05:34,550
I'm getting old. West Binoxiliary is part of, used to be part of the top ends, project

803
01:05:34,550 --> 01:05:41,230
number six in Brown, just west of 400 there, west of 2,500. Those are auxiliary lanes

804
01:05:41,230 --> 01:05:48,470
that run from Roswell Road to Riverside, also replacing Mount Vernon Bridge over 2,25.

805
01:05:53,780 --> 01:06:00,620
That is basically a depiction of the meetings that to Matthews and I have been tackling, at least

806
01:06:00,620 --> 01:06:09,400
300 frankly. We have a whole log of them. A lot of stakeholders along the entire program between 400

807
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:15,340
top and east side west side, the interchange projects. You can see that how busy would been.

808
01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:24,260
We have not excluded anybody from this process, including schools and localities and HOAs and counties.

809
01:06:24,260 --> 01:06:29,020
even Marta. So it's been a very busy couple of years.

810
01:06:31,350 --> 01:06:31,870
Are you going to control

811
01:06:31,870 --> 01:06:34,930
for me appreciate it? All right, we'll jump into the top end express lines

812
01:06:34,930 --> 01:06:36,570
project. Next slide please.

813
01:06:39,070 --> 01:06:42,590
All right, so again top end split. As you can see, the

814
01:06:42,590 --> 01:06:50,730
top end east is from 400 north north spring station on 400 coming down and

815
01:06:50,730 --> 01:06:55,610
then come across to the right there all the way down to Henderson Road. Henderson Road

816
01:06:55,610 --> 01:06:58,030
is where we begin our east side express lanes project

817
01:06:58,030 --> 01:07:00,630
go with south from there all the way down to the inner change.

818
01:07:01,210 --> 01:07:02,710
That's top end east project.

819
01:07:03,190 --> 01:07:06,310
And the top end west is roughly from the 35 current

820
01:07:06,310 --> 01:07:08,650
2,500 transform projects on our construction,

821
01:07:09,230 --> 01:07:11,330
all the way down the pace is very on the west end.

822
01:07:12,850 --> 01:07:14,850
Again, industry feedback is what drove the decision

823
01:07:14,850 --> 01:07:19,270
to the split, and to do small construction packages,

824
01:07:20,130 --> 01:07:24,430
the project on its own was just massive for any single developer

825
01:07:24,430 --> 01:07:26,190
to come in and really tackle.

826
01:07:26,970 --> 01:07:28,690
So this provides a little bit of relief

827
01:07:28,690 --> 01:07:30,950
and provides opportunities for the smaller contractors

828
01:07:30,950 --> 01:07:34,970
to tag along and the participatory to the construction

829
01:07:34,970 --> 01:07:37,030
to the design and construction of these packages.

830
01:07:37,250 --> 01:07:39,150
That alone the operation of maintenance,

831
01:07:39,590 --> 01:07:41,650
or should say really maintenance, that operation,

832
01:07:42,030 --> 01:07:44,050
life cycle of 35 years or so.

833
01:07:44,510 --> 01:07:49,510
Top and east open a traffic 2028, top and west 232.

834
01:07:50,350 --> 01:07:58,510
We are currently, again, a single single, one under one federal decision, a 23 month process,

835
01:07:58,810 --> 01:08:01,870
a single EIS environmental impact statement for the entire project.

836
01:08:02,310 --> 01:08:07,850
So we're going to clear it environmentally all together by October of 2021.

837
01:08:09,570 --> 01:08:16,870
The NOI was issued in October 2019, so it starts clock ticking for 23 month clock for the one federal decision,

838
01:08:16,870 --> 01:08:18,950
executive decision by the current administration.

839
01:08:20,850 --> 01:08:22,870
Local coordination regarding express lanes and transit

840
01:08:22,870 --> 01:08:25,570
access points has been in the works in the last

841
01:08:25,570 --> 01:08:26,770
bunch of months.

842
01:08:27,530 --> 01:08:30,030
The plan is to have in January 2020.

843
01:08:30,370 --> 01:08:32,770
I mentioned earlier, 23rd, I believe, 28th

844
01:08:32,770 --> 01:08:34,910
and the 30th January we have public information open

845
01:08:34,910 --> 01:08:35,650
house.

846
01:08:35,850 --> 01:08:37,570
Series, there's seven of them.

847
01:08:37,690 --> 01:08:40,310
It'll be over lunch, period, and evening as well.

848
01:08:40,590 --> 01:08:41,470
And we'll engage the public.

849
01:08:41,570 --> 01:08:42,210
We'll have layouts.

850
01:08:42,870 --> 01:08:43,670
We'll get that feedback.

851
01:08:43,670 --> 01:08:48,910
and basically follow me in the process right down to the T, and between the PIOH and the

852
01:08:48,910 --> 01:08:52,850
comments that we get in the PIOH leading up to about a year later to the public hearing

853
01:08:52,850 --> 01:09:00,130
open-house is when we have really the final preferred concept with the draft final in environmental

854
01:09:00,130 --> 01:09:00,570
backstage.

855
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:12,300
Up in these, again, the scope in itself hasn't really changed, predominantly the same

856
01:09:12,300 --> 01:09:18,180
the same scope as before, two new barriers separated express lanes in each direction.

857
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,400
So what you see on Northwest corridor that was recently built,

858
01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:27,300
it's been a success story for GDOT in the region and the traveling public.

859
01:09:27,980 --> 01:09:30,600
Precisely exactly the same except that is a reversible system.

860
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,860
This will be in each direction, okay.

861
01:09:33,660 --> 01:09:36,320
And generally elevated, for the most part,

862
01:09:36,320 --> 01:09:39,060
There's certain areas that we're coming down at grade,

863
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:40,740
certain sensitive areas,

864
01:09:41,780 --> 01:09:44,220
environmentally sensitive or right away sensitive,

865
01:09:44,540 --> 01:09:50,200
we're trying to be cognizant of that as we develop the concept.

866
01:09:53,100 --> 01:09:56,280
We do drop to one lane in each direction from I-25

867
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,560
down to Henderson, to tie in to the express lane east side.

868
01:09:59,920 --> 01:10:01,580
That's only a single lane in each direction.

869
01:10:02,740 --> 01:10:05,780
And then it goes up, of course, 400 to no springs,

870
01:10:05,780 --> 01:10:12,700
to tie it with the 400 express lanes, which is two lanes in each direction. That project is

871
01:10:12,700 --> 01:10:21,340
predominantly at grade. It's only elevated right to tie in with top end and then getting out

872
01:10:21,340 --> 01:10:25,360
of modern or springs and then drops down at grade beyond Northridge or before Northridge.

873
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:33,480
Right, so what I was going to tell you about this on the East Side Express lanes, we're talking about

874
01:10:33,480 --> 01:10:35,240
But west side goes down, okay, that's east side.

875
01:10:35,260 --> 01:10:37,880
So let's jump to the next slide.

876
01:10:38,740 --> 01:10:40,820
It puts us into west side, again, from the interchange

877
01:10:40,820 --> 01:10:44,720
down to Paces Ferry, that is generally the scope.

878
01:10:45,740 --> 01:10:49,580
Again, two lanes in each direction, generally elevated,

879
01:10:50,020 --> 01:10:52,820
and it dropped down a grade to meet with, right,

880
01:10:52,820 --> 01:10:56,640
a Paces Ferry to meet with the west side express lanes.

881
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:59,100
Project was, which is only a single lane in each direction.

882
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,980
This is the entire Georgia Express Lane map.

883
01:11:06,180 --> 01:11:12,520
There's a plan and the plan is to progress from what's currently in operation to what the MIP is in green.

884
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:14,280
And we're going to start counting here.

885
01:11:14,340 --> 01:11:16,680
As you click, we're going to see the miles go up.

886
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:20,680
That is in current operation 85. 85 Express Lane's.

887
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:22,080
And then you go down to 75.

888
01:11:22,300 --> 01:11:24,000
That's been open for a while now.

889
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:27,160
We're up to 27 Centreline miles.

890
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:29,080
Of course, not the score has been opened.

891
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:31,220
Now it's been a great success story for everyone.

892
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:35,660
You click again, and then you get the 85 phase two,

893
01:11:35,660 --> 01:11:39,420
or 85 that express staying extension phase two.

894
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,260
And once more, 400 now, we're getting

895
01:11:41,260 --> 01:11:42,500
the project we're planning right now.

896
01:11:42,700 --> 01:11:43,780
400 is under procurement.

897
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,000
Recently, we had the industry forum,

898
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:51,660
and then the top end is literally right behind it.

899
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,320
So those go in order right now.

900
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,240
As we're clicking, they're coming online in order.

901
01:11:56,240 --> 01:12:00,700
east side express lanes, now we're up to 106 miles or so.

902
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:06,240
We're up and west, open traffic 2032 and then west side express lanes.

903
01:12:06,740 --> 01:12:11,760
And that completes network of 123 miles, center line miles of express lanes.

904
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:18,700
That is a general bubble timeline of where we've been and where we're going.

905
01:12:18,700 --> 01:12:27,060
We started in 2018, the environmental process, we are where the yellow arrow points down.

906
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,280
Today, January is a public information open house.

907
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:37,080
Public hearing is about a year later, and we're going to final design between 2022-2023.

908
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:46,400
And then, top-end east construction begins around 2023, right following up with that would

909
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:50,940
to start the procurement for 20 top-end West.

910
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,000
So as we're kind of completing construction,

911
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:56,020
we start the top-end West procurement

912
01:12:56,020 --> 01:12:59,260
to bring on basically a developer to take it on

913
01:12:59,260 --> 01:13:02,980
and finish the design and maintain the project.

914
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:07,400
We'll learn more a lot more about the process

915
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:10,500
of a environmental and where we are constantly out

916
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:13,020
and what potential express thing and access points

917
01:13:13,020 --> 01:13:15,000
will be in the ints speed right away process

918
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:18,840
and the express lane business rules, all of that at the public information open house.

919
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:24,560
As soon as we have the public information open house, we will be posting updates on those

920
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:30,820
websites. There are some updates currently as, you know, where we are. We'll have a lot more

921
01:13:30,820 --> 01:13:36,920
after the PIOH. So that's all I've got. Appreciate the time. Again, please general questions.

922
01:13:36,980 --> 01:13:40,980
Any specific questions if you would, if we could defer to the public information open house,

923
01:13:40,980 --> 01:13:43,840
We'd be greatly appreciate it.

924
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:44,340
I think.

925
01:13:47,190 --> 01:13:52,810
Well, mine might fall into the category of more specific than you want to address.

926
01:13:53,230 --> 01:13:53,970
Let me see here.

927
01:13:54,710 --> 01:13:58,670
I mean, it's been a little confusing because in the city of Brookhaven, we've tried to get out of

928
01:13:58,670 --> 01:14:00,670
this and prepare our citizens and whatnot.

929
01:14:01,310 --> 01:14:05,810
And then we've had the delays in the schedule occur.

930
01:14:06,010 --> 01:14:07,690
So I know we're going to have a lot of questions.

931
01:14:07,690 --> 01:14:20,050
So, let me just make sure that I have the dates for the January meetings right now, and by the way, we'd love to have you here at Brookhaven City Hall or any of your meetings scheduled for here.

932
01:14:21,310 --> 01:14:25,710
Very good question. You know, they are on my calendar. Let me see if they are. I don't recall.

933
01:14:25,710 --> 01:14:38,950
but we have one on the 20s, 23rd, 23rd in Sandy Springs, and then I believe that's here.

934
01:14:40,270 --> 01:14:44,670
And all of those, all of these will be published very soon.

935
01:14:44,970 --> 01:14:48,150
They'll be on the media and the invites and all that.

936
01:14:48,250 --> 01:14:48,750
And they'll be signed.

937
01:14:48,970 --> 01:14:51,790
The second one is on the 28th in Dunwoody.

938
01:14:53,030 --> 01:14:58,950
there's two series, so the first one is Sandy Springs between new and basically all the way until about 730.

939
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:21,560
Chunk between, you know, lunch hour and then evening hours, 28 in Dunwoody, and then on the 30th, we have a placeholder, or Smurna, a cop, Galleria, and I believe that may conclude them unless we go into February. I don't believe we do,

940
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:30,880
but I might be missing one of the invites because what I understand is we have a total of seven.

941
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,980
So if we've got three days, only scheduled right now,

942
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,760
sounds like we have two, two, and two, six,

943
01:15:37,100 --> 01:15:39,020
there's one more in my very well.

944
01:15:40,180 --> 01:15:41,580
Okay, well keep us in mind.

945
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:44,040
We'd love to host you here and it would be most convenient

946
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:45,020
for our residents.

947
01:15:45,260 --> 01:15:47,940
So pass that on to Tim too, as well as,

948
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:51,800
you know, I never want to miss an opportunity to express

949
01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:55,520
that our residents are looking for the best outcome

950
01:15:55,520 --> 01:15:59,820
for the community in terms of drainage being provided

951
01:15:59,820 --> 01:16:06,820
and sound barriers being solid and stamped and so forth.

952
01:16:09,120 --> 01:16:11,660
All right, and I'll save the rest for the meeting.

953
01:16:11,900 --> 01:16:12,660
Thank you for being here.

954
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:15,200
John, thanks.

955
01:16:16,340 --> 01:16:16,500
Joe.

956
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:19,860
So,

957
01:16:22,070 --> 01:16:23,270
are on general.

958
01:16:24,270 --> 01:16:27,330
So, top and east is going to go first and east sides.

959
01:16:27,770 --> 01:16:28,710
Is that how it's going to go?

960
01:16:28,750 --> 01:16:31,610
It's up and east and east side are kind of lined up to be honest with you together.

961
01:16:31,610 --> 01:16:37,830
But the East Side Express lanes is a lot smaller project, you know, it's a single lane and

962
01:16:37,830 --> 01:16:41,110
East direction as opposed to two lanes elevated for the top end, right?

963
01:16:41,610 --> 01:16:45,990
And they're expected to be off at the same time, basically, completely, roughly at the same

964
01:16:45,990 --> 01:16:46,110
time?

965
01:16:46,170 --> 01:16:47,290
Yeah, completely, exactly.

966
01:16:47,950 --> 01:16:48,570
Yeah, yeah.

967
01:16:49,030 --> 01:16:54,010
And then West and West side Express lanes, similarly, they'll kind of be in unison.

968
01:16:57,270 --> 01:17:02,030
And so when these top and east goes, the 400 war had been done.

969
01:17:02,230 --> 01:17:02,550
Correct.

970
01:17:02,750 --> 01:17:03,950
So 400 is scheduled.

971
01:17:04,370 --> 01:17:09,750
Well, 400 scheduled, frankly, to open a traffic early, 2027.

972
01:17:10,750 --> 01:17:11,710
Oh, just like a year.

973
01:17:14,150 --> 01:17:14,450
Yeah.

974
01:17:14,830 --> 01:17:16,730
But we'll be well into construction of 400.

975
01:17:18,830 --> 01:17:21,390
You know, the award on 400 right now is anticipated.

976
01:17:21,390 --> 01:17:26,210
The third quarter, about September 2021, so we're willing to.

977
01:17:26,950 --> 01:17:29,430
I'm the chair of the top end, 285 mayors.

978
01:17:29,850 --> 01:17:33,510
I feel like we're going to call ourselves seven mayors to talk about transit.

979
01:17:33,830 --> 01:17:37,470
And we're also doing something about trail.

980
01:17:38,130 --> 01:17:39,250
And we're going to stay real quick.

981
01:17:39,490 --> 01:17:40,950
I'm trail, so.

982
01:17:45,060 --> 01:17:45,500
Excellent.

983
01:17:48,900 --> 01:17:49,180
Excellent.

984
01:17:49,500 --> 01:17:50,340
Are you going through the environmental?

985
01:17:53,340 --> 01:17:53,680
I'm much.

986
01:17:53,820 --> 01:17:54,240
Very well.

987
01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:55,260
All right.

988
01:17:55,420 --> 01:17:55,820
Have a good evening.

989
01:17:57,990 --> 01:18:09,590
So, next item on the agenda, open container, I spoke with a person who's speaking, their invite had said 7 p.m. or 715 tonight.

990
01:18:11,030 --> 01:18:17,230
I would suggest we have the point in the meetings of, you know, reports and presentations after consent.

991
01:18:17,610 --> 01:18:22,710
If you guys are okay with having that presentation, they have

992
01:18:26,330 --> 01:18:29,810
the restaurant association is coming present or,

993
01:18:29,810 --> 01:18:35,990
of the restaurant association was planning to be here at this time and speak about it.

994
01:18:37,070 --> 01:18:45,470
So, yeah, so, yeah, the objective in bringing that in for a work session was to have a back

995
01:18:45,470 --> 01:18:45,930
and forth.

996
01:18:46,330 --> 01:18:48,910
And that's not going to be committed during common time.

997
01:18:49,130 --> 01:18:53,270
Well, no, not public comment, but if we put it in reports and presentations, I can, you

998
01:18:53,270 --> 01:18:58,870
know, I have a, I have a, I have a gavel, I can determine how it works, I have a reports

999
01:18:58,870 --> 01:19:01,450
and presentations, and so we can have the back and forth.

1000
01:19:01,590 --> 01:19:05,850
If you guys want it, we do have a forward full-esque agenda.

1001
01:19:08,470 --> 01:19:16,590
So it's up to you, we either do that now or I, we put them into a dinner, but I did

1002
01:19:16,590 --> 01:19:22,730
see the messages that they were, they were told to show up at a regular schedule meeting.

1003
01:19:22,830 --> 01:19:26,530
That was the original communications and apparently there was no follow-up saying it was moved

1004
01:19:26,530 --> 01:19:27,230
to work session.

1005
01:19:27,850 --> 01:19:29,070
So that's unfortunate.

1006
01:19:30,130 --> 01:19:32,470
So what, where would that fall in time, why is tonight?

1007
01:19:33,210 --> 01:19:37,490
We just fall into, I put it in reports in presentations.

1008
01:19:37,790 --> 01:19:38,730
So it would be towards the beginning.

1009
01:19:39,310 --> 01:19:41,110
Or it's the beginning before the new business.

1010
01:19:42,930 --> 01:19:44,370
I mean, I'm in favor of that.

1011
01:19:46,050 --> 01:19:49,290
We have to do public hearings first, then consent,

1012
01:19:50,310 --> 01:19:54,230
general announcements, and then I'll put it right after consent agenda.

1013
01:19:56,150 --> 01:19:57,570
I would be well.

1014
01:19:57,850 --> 01:19:58,050
What?

1015
01:19:58,190 --> 01:19:58,970
It would probably be well.

1016
01:19:59,090 --> 01:20:00,870
I mean, it would be well after some fifteen, right?

1017
01:20:01,070 --> 01:20:02,390
We have five items in public areas.

1018
01:20:02,610 --> 01:20:02,790
Oh, yeah.

1019
01:20:03,070 --> 01:20:03,690
I agree.

1020
01:20:03,830 --> 01:20:04,350
It's going to be a well.

1021
01:20:04,670 --> 01:20:07,770
But they, they, they would, I do.

1022
01:20:07,910 --> 01:20:09,690
Do we want them to be in this meeting or not?

1023
01:20:09,690 --> 01:20:10,290
That's what I'm asking.

1024
01:20:11,130 --> 01:20:11,230
I'm asking.

1025
01:20:11,230 --> 01:20:11,430
I'm asking.

1026
01:20:11,430 --> 01:20:11,690
I'm asking.

1027
01:20:15,330 --> 01:20:15,730
I'm asking.

1028
01:20:15,730 --> 01:20:19,850
another issue for January work sessions is we have the conversation and it was on a presentation

1029
01:20:20,370 --> 01:20:24,990
from the dementia friendly people. So we can accommodate both on that day then.

1030
01:20:25,890 --> 01:20:33,610
I mean, I mean, I could unilaterally do it or I can ask for, you know, dates, what's, would you,

1031
01:20:33,770 --> 01:20:40,070
I mean, I'd like to hear it, and I think since I've gotten the invitation already on,

1032
01:20:40,070 --> 01:20:45,690
I think it'd be good to give this is not gonna take more than five minutes of and think.

1033
01:20:46,150 --> 01:20:46,470
I'll be fine.

1034
01:20:46,470 --> 01:20:46,950
I'll be fine.

1035
01:20:46,950 --> 01:20:47,370
I'll be fine.

1036
01:20:47,610 --> 01:20:48,090
I'll be fine.

1037
01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:49,090
I'll be fine.

1038
01:20:51,490 --> 01:20:53,330
So you're, yes, yes.

1039
01:20:53,470 --> 01:20:54,810
In different, no.

1040
01:20:55,950 --> 01:20:57,650
Yeah, let's go ahead and knock it out.

1041
01:20:57,890 --> 01:21:00,410
I'll tell them to show off in the move.

1042
01:21:01,070 --> 01:21:01,450
Okay.

1043
01:21:03,030 --> 01:21:03,410
I'll send them.

1044
01:21:03,770 --> 01:21:04,890
Okay, you text them.

1045
01:21:05,610 --> 01:21:06,070
Thank you.

1046
01:21:07,470 --> 01:21:08,570
Pre-Gender Review.

1047
01:21:08,570 --> 01:21:20,750
Since we're talking about agenda mayor. I didn't know your announcements are usually done after the public hearings, but I know if you wanted to move him in front of the public hearings for tonight

1048
01:21:21,530 --> 01:21:24,030
just as a matter of

1049
01:21:24,030 --> 01:21:24,570
efficiency

1050
01:21:26,410 --> 01:21:26,970
I

1051
01:21:27,390 --> 01:21:28,450
could do that

1052
01:21:32,340 --> 01:21:34,580
Yeah, because yeah, we'll have

1053
01:21:35,140 --> 01:21:35,700
Okay

1054
01:21:40,580 --> 01:21:43,160
If we could, yeah, we could just move that to the front.

1055
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:45,140
Then we have the public hearings.

1056
01:21:45,300 --> 01:21:46,700
You guys all know what that's about.

1057
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:49,500
If we regulated or read that through.

1058
01:21:49,840 --> 01:21:50,140
Good.

1059
01:21:50,300 --> 01:21:51,300
San agenda is just minutes.

1060
01:21:51,500 --> 01:21:53,900
Hopefully, you know, controversy there.

1061
01:21:55,940 --> 01:21:58,180
Everyone understands what's happening in a new business.

1062
01:21:58,820 --> 01:21:59,300
One.

1063
01:21:59,500 --> 01:21:59,900
On the.

1064
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:00,860
The annexation.

1065
01:22:01,440 --> 01:22:02,020
I'd like that.

1066
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:03,100
All right.

1067
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:08,240
So there are three properties that share that are split

1068
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:12,620
by the city lines that separate Brookhaven and Chambley.

1069
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:18,420
Two of those properties have approached Chambley about being annexed into Chambley to be

1070
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:24,180
wholly as part of Chambley in tax because one entity is opposed to having to pay

1071
01:22:24,180 --> 01:22:26,840
city taxes on both cities.

1072
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:31,380
The third property owner has never contacted anyone so they will remain split.

1073
01:22:31,380 --> 01:22:39,780
but this at DNXation is basically to take out the pieces that are basically the backyards

1074
01:22:39,780 --> 01:22:45,880
of these two homes out of the city limits of Brookhaven and then a family will have their

1075
01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:50,500
second read of their annexation ordinance tonight and both ordinances will take effect

1076
01:22:50,500 --> 01:22:57,460
at midnight on New Year's morning so that there are no holes created in the DNX, the annexation

1077
01:22:57,460 --> 01:22:59,760
annexation and their lawful.

1078
01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:02,980
Right, right over at PlayerMount.

1079
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:03,540
Yes.

1080
01:23:04,680 --> 01:23:05,660
PlayerMount in 85.

1081
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,540
I don't have a map location in my head.

1082
01:23:09,900 --> 01:23:11,620
It's something to call the law.

1083
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:12,640
Oh, well.

1084
01:23:13,180 --> 01:23:13,320
Yeah.

1085
01:23:14,020 --> 01:23:15,760
And the houses are in Shambly.

1086
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,220
I think they provide a sanitation for them.

1087
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:21,080
It's just one of those.

1088
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:25,020
I think economic impact is a grand total of like $40 a year.

1089
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:26,020
I don't know.

1090
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:27,600
It's something novel.

1091
01:23:29,060 --> 01:23:34,920
And, you know, there are other people out there that, you know, we have split lots of work

1092
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:39,340
shambling, and also working together to clean up those lines and the lot lines that we don't

1093
01:23:39,340 --> 01:23:42,360
have these split houses up.

1094
01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:43,340
Okay,

1095
01:23:45,460 --> 01:23:48,240
Ethics Ordnance, does everyone have any questions about that?

1096
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:54,160
I just was curious as to the origin of it and what the real purpose would be.

1097
01:23:54,160 --> 01:24:07,600
There was a situation that arose at a Board of Appeals meeting earlier this year, where one of the members of the Board of Appeals had their own application for a variance from their property.

1098
01:24:08,340 --> 01:24:13,300
Our Earth ethics ordinance would have precluded that person from presenting their own application.

1099
01:24:14,380 --> 01:24:21,060
We looked at it and examined the issues, the first amendment issues that are raised by it

1100
01:24:21,060 --> 01:24:26,540
included that in that circumstances and in other circumstances, we ought not preclude people

1101
01:24:26,540 --> 01:24:31,860
who volunteer their time or who are elected to serve the city from presenting their own

1102
01:24:31,860 --> 01:24:33,560
applications when those are appropriate.

1103
01:24:33,900 --> 01:24:38,680
So the changes are designed to accommodate those circumstances and to address those first

1104
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:39,600
amendment issues.

1105
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:48,080
Basically, if you're volunteering or elected, you're not going to be, with this change, we won't be violating our ethics order.

1106
01:24:48,180 --> 01:24:48,680
That's correct.

1107
01:24:48,900 --> 01:24:49,080
That's correct.

1108
01:24:49,820 --> 01:24:50,200
Yeah.

1109
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:50,740
Great.

1110
01:24:50,860 --> 01:24:51,860
Thanks for the clarification.

1111
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:53,980
Okay.

1112
01:24:55,940 --> 01:25:00,660
Then the GEMA FEMA Bios, we talked about earlier.

1113
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:05,820
The buyer would multi-use path construction, and then the sidewalk construction.

1114
01:25:05,820 --> 01:25:08,420
I had a quick question on the FEMA team.

1115
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,700
Is this whole pot of money in a great job?

1116
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:15,960
Well, that's a huge chunk of money.

1117
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:17,000
That's great.

1118
01:25:17,340 --> 01:25:20,160
For 500 and $50,000 of sitting money, that's a great leverage.

1119
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:27,500
But will there be a fund that is not intended to be used out of this?

1120
01:25:28,460 --> 01:25:29,880
Or is every one of these?

1121
01:25:30,620 --> 01:25:34,580
Is every bit of this dollar for a designated properties and projects specific?

1122
01:25:34,580 --> 01:25:40,220
Yes, every penny are for a designated properties that have already been run through the process.

1123
01:25:40,980 --> 01:25:43,460
As a matter of fact, this process started in 2017.

1124
01:25:44,220 --> 01:25:45,140
It's fairly lengthy.

1125
01:25:45,260 --> 01:25:56,580
They don't get to this point until their positivity to the properties meet the federal standard for hazard mitigation and they do not see any other alternative.

1126
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:03,940
So if you go through the agreement, each of the properties is listed with an exact amount,

1127
01:26:05,020 --> 01:26:07,060
we do have some latitude there.

1128
01:26:07,220 --> 01:26:13,020
We can work with FEMA on that if we find that there's a situation that calls for that.

1129
01:26:13,540 --> 01:26:18,060
But it's quite specific, even the dollar amounts are worked into that formula.

1130
01:26:18,420 --> 01:26:25,100
Do we know of any other areas that are, that this is a problem that we don't have in

1131
01:26:25,100 --> 01:26:28,280
I mean, I don't know if any of them.

1132
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:32,680
There are a few properties down on the off of Harry,

1133
01:26:32,700 --> 01:26:34,720
hope me out of the over by the elementary schools

1134
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,340
that went on clear, about there.

1135
01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:39,220
I'm going to clear it down in that colleague there

1136
01:26:39,220 --> 01:26:44,340
that might be eligible, you know, we can explore those.

1137
01:26:47,180 --> 01:26:49,100
What about, what about some of the properties

1138
01:26:49,100 --> 01:26:52,360
that were, all of the five for the female bile,

1139
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:55,640
a decade ago, but she was not to leave.

1140
01:26:56,420 --> 01:26:58,720
There may be properties that do that.

1141
01:26:59,220 --> 01:27:04,700
We will not until they give us an affirmative work and absolutely not.

1142
01:27:05,140 --> 01:27:10,620
This is an open offer from FEMA because they feel that this is the best determination for

1143
01:27:10,620 --> 01:27:11,440
public safety.

1144
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,540
Should they choose not to?

1145
01:27:13,780 --> 01:27:18,440
No, we cannot transfer that to another property, is that the question that you had?

1146
01:27:18,980 --> 01:27:24,040
Now, we will have to, should that be the will of council and the recommendation of public works.

1147
01:27:24,160 --> 01:27:31,360
We will enter those properties into a second opening, which we would expect to have in about,

1148
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:33,420
it's just about 12 months from now.

1149
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,040
They'll start talking to us by now they're opening.

1150
01:27:36,020 --> 01:27:42,860
But that's, that's an opening that you start the process like in 2017 that you have two years after that.

1151
01:27:42,940 --> 01:27:43,400
Exactly.

1152
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:49,080
that this possible get to this point, and then you are, you know, in any of the other

1153
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:49,360
years.

1154
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:56,620
So, just from a full disclosure standpoint, because other jurisdictions find themselves

1155
01:27:56,620 --> 01:28:01,440
in the situation in these types of programs, the federal government will only reimburse

1156
01:28:01,440 --> 01:28:05,180
up to the amount that's in the agreement, which is based on the praise of which is quite

1157
01:28:05,180 --> 01:28:12,420
dated by now, from a policy perspective, the local body does have the discretion to offer

1158
01:28:12,420 --> 01:28:18,140
more out of their own pocket, the federal government may not pay anymore, but the local government

1159
01:28:18,140 --> 01:28:24,960
can actually offer more, if it's a strategic need or something that kind of gets the deal

1160
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:30,140
done, but for purposes of this voluntary federal program, we're limited to the appraisal.

1161
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:44,900
Okay, and that would be any other questions about the agenda today. There is no executive

1162
01:28:44,900 --> 01:28:50,520
session. Do we need to make any kind of agenda change officially here to account for tonight?

1163
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:52,060
I will take care with Susan.

1164
01:28:56,280 --> 01:29:02,340
I had emailed about a resolution supporting for the South

1165
01:29:02,340 --> 01:29:08,440
for Conservancy and I didn't know if that was something that staff had enough time to

1166
01:29:10,700 --> 01:29:17,620
I know Patty made some calls, we want to make sure that the scope of their grant program I did

1167
01:29:17,620 --> 01:29:24,220
read through it early this morning is consistent with the engineering that we desire.

1168
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:38,420
You'll recall you entered into an agreement, a four-party agreement in Atlanta, a livable

1169
01:29:38,420 --> 01:29:42,480
grant program that they're submitting or they're building program they're submitting to

1170
01:29:42,480 --> 01:29:47,240
this granting edge into the includes a multitude of projects one of them being that bridge

1171
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:52,060
we want to do the due diligence and make sure it's the bridge that we support so we

1172
01:29:52,060 --> 01:29:55,640
couldn't really get through that today. Patty you have an update based on your communications.

1173
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:09,880
We started with, we're actually going to have meeting this week, and we had multiple conversations with City of Atlanta. We just need to take our time and make sure there's not a conflict.

1174
01:30:10,480 --> 01:30:17,840
And she understood that perfectly as a matter of fact, this has been a wonderful catalyst for a conversation about one of the aspects of that grant.

1175
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:27,360
And if it is helpful, we can take a look at it, but she said really the conversation of what was most important to her and she thanked us for that.

1176
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:35,700
Well, I'd based on your feedback, I certainly would recommend caution and are taking the

1177
01:30:35,700 --> 01:30:38,100
time for the diligence and studying it.

1178
01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:47,580
I do think that their completion of their project is so essential to our the value of

1179
01:30:47,580 --> 01:30:52,760
the piece of your greenway that anything that we can do that doesn't harm us that can support

1180
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,820
their efforts, we really need to see that connection to path 400 in the Beltline.

1181
01:30:57,480 --> 01:31:03,920
So I hope that they understand and learn from some of the things we've done on our design

1182
01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:09,220
in Beltline, Peach Creek, Greenway, and I know at one point that we're talking about non-concreate

1183
01:31:09,220 --> 01:31:14,840
services and that's really, we need to have consistency throughout that path.

1184
01:31:16,360 --> 01:31:17,140
Thank you.

1185
01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:18,020
Thank you.

1186
01:31:19,300 --> 01:31:23,200
Okay, with that, I had earned work session.

1187
01:31:23,740 --> 01:31:24,560
See you guys at seven.

1188
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:37,020
Come back up there.
