1
00:00:03,918 --> 00:00:04,465
>> It's on.

2
00:00:04,465 --> 00:00:07,120
>> I'd like to call the Finance Committee meeting to order

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:07,512
first.

4
00:00:07,512 --> 00:00:14,712
First item on the agenda is from the meeting minutes, July 28th.

5
00:00:23,131 --> 00:00:26,155
>> All those in favor show by raising your right hand.

6
00:00:26,155 --> 00:00:32,155
Next items we're taking -- motel tax, auto rental tax.

7
00:00:38,714 --> 00:00:41,114
Again thank you Chairman.

8
00:00:41,567 --> 00:00:48,767
So I will be reporting first on the Hotel motel for July.

9
00:00:50,447 --> 00:00:55,247
So our hotel motel collection is for July, $350,846.

10
00:00:57,740 --> 00:01:00,740
After normalizing the F125 agreement

11
00:01:03,850 --> 00:01:06,694
the July collections were the lowest July

12
00:01:06,694 --> 00:01:08,794
we've seen in the past four years.

13
00:01:08,794 --> 00:01:11,894
Historically August is the highest month

14
00:01:11,894 --> 00:01:13,594
that we see throughout the year.

15
00:01:13,594 --> 00:01:16,254
We will take a look at those collections

16
00:01:16,254 --> 00:01:21,314
because that will be for our July as they come in next month.

17
00:01:21,314 --> 00:01:27,314
Looking at our 3% auto, auto rental revenue is a total $9,631

18
00:01:27,618 --> 00:01:31,818
and it's slightly below the 12 month --

19
00:01:34,114 --> 00:01:36,114
12 month average.

20
00:01:36,634 --> 00:01:42,340
Our total distributions as you'll see on your chart,

21
00:01:43,104 --> 00:01:46,106
our allotment exceeded our revenue collections

22
00:01:46,106 --> 00:01:48,490
for the month by almost $24,000.

23
00:01:48,490 --> 00:01:53,890
So we did utilize reserves to pull from that.

24
00:01:56,154 --> 00:02:02,154
This of course has ebbs and flows throughout the year.

25
00:02:02,218 --> 00:02:04,754
So for our initial month we were short

26
00:02:04,754 --> 00:02:07,987
and that may change in the balance will come out

27
00:02:07,987 --> 00:02:12,538
as we go through the 12 months of this fiscal year.

28
00:02:12,538 --> 00:02:16,134
Moving to our general fund comment the general fund

29
00:02:16,134 --> 00:02:20,619
collections for July total $4.2 million and this is an increase

30
00:02:20,619 --> 00:02:25,419
of approximately $170,000 compared to July of FY '26.

31
00:02:29,420 --> 00:02:31,944
The variance were in two major areas,

32
00:02:31,944 --> 00:02:36,144
$121,000 was an increase in the franchise --

33
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:44,640
and the other was $99,000 that was also a time issue

34
00:02:47,610 --> 00:02:49,610
in our franchise.

35
00:02:49,874 --> 00:02:55,874
So we had additional receipts that came in our earlier

36
00:02:56,290 --> 00:02:58,690
than the prior year.

37
00:02:59,914 --> 00:03:05,314
And then the operational expenses doubled for our year

38
00:03:06,740 --> 00:03:07,554
over year.

39
00:03:07,554 --> 00:03:12,794
The annual -- for professional and technical services as well

40
00:03:12,794 --> 00:03:15,194
as their contractual obligations,

41
00:03:15,674 --> 00:03:20,388
accounted for 1.2 or $1.3 million increments and that was

42
00:03:20,388 --> 00:03:21,614
just a change in practice.

43
00:03:21,614 --> 00:03:26,234
I don't know if we had more obligations to --

44
00:03:26,234 --> 00:03:32,600
that they entered into as far as conferences in the first month.

45
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,778
So looking at our golf on page three,

46
00:03:36,778 --> 00:03:41,578
the golf probability was $600,000 higher compared to July

47
00:03:42,302 --> 00:03:47,702
of 2025 and 2026 was higher -- the favorable variance was

48
00:03:50,114 --> 00:03:53,714
primarily because of the $313,000 in capital.

49
00:03:54,602 --> 00:04:01,202
So our capital investments were lower this year and our capital

50
00:04:01,474 --> 00:04:06,594
gains were lower this year and the $146,000 of reduction

51
00:04:06,594 --> 00:04:10,194
in equipment and storage facility --

52
00:04:10,340 --> 00:04:14,834
so those were the primary contributors to the $600,000

53
00:04:14,834 --> 00:04:15,574
difference.

54
00:04:15,574 --> 00:04:19,765
And then lastly, on the memo page

55
00:04:19,765 --> 00:04:23,954
you'll see a list of the major projects that are ongoing

56
00:04:23,954 --> 00:04:26,354
for the finance department.

57
00:04:26,386 --> 00:04:29,400
I can let you breeze through that

58
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:36,000
and if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer.

59
00:04:37,271 --> 00:04:39,994
>> The only question I have is on the custodial management --

60
00:04:39,994 --> 00:04:41,722
and what that is.

61
00:04:41,722 --> 00:04:43,722
Whatever that means.

62
00:04:45,194 --> 00:04:51,187
>> Okay, so for -- initially we went through a custodial change.

63
00:04:51,187 --> 00:04:57,787
What that means is the bank that does our pension transactions

64
00:04:59,514 --> 00:05:03,714
when we have investment changes was --

65
00:05:03,746 --> 00:05:09,746
we had to change our banking -- our banking vendor

66
00:05:10,854 --> 00:05:16,854
because initially we had a vendor that was bought out

67
00:05:17,218 --> 00:05:21,367
so that migration took place and we were forced to do that

68
00:05:21,367 --> 00:05:26,814
and that was implemented in January of this prior year.

69
00:05:26,814 --> 00:05:33,124
We have had some issues in the past with that particular vendor

70
00:05:33,124 --> 00:05:37,282
and in doing so, we've been out to market

71
00:05:37,282 --> 00:05:42,906
to see what additional vendors are out there, talked to about

72
00:05:42,906 --> 00:05:46,234
five different vendors to see who

73
00:05:46,234 --> 00:05:50,897
would be the best potentially to transition to a second.

74
00:05:50,897 --> 00:05:57,240
And we did find one -- we just held off on doing that

75
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:03,954
because at the time, we also -- our actual bank for our normal

76
00:06:03,954 --> 00:06:08,420
transaction -- we had to do a full migration of all

77
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:12,202
of our banking in a matter of short months.

78
00:06:12,202 --> 00:06:16,402
And that was effective as of July.

79
00:06:16,779 --> 00:06:22,314
And so we put the other initial custodial transition --

80
00:06:22,314 --> 00:06:27,114
in order to make sure that we can focus on the primary

81
00:06:27,114 --> 00:06:29,114
banking.

82
00:06:35,154 --> 00:06:41,154
And we just ask that it be received and filed.

83
00:06:44,554 --> 00:06:47,740
>> I'll make a motion to receive the file.

84
00:06:47,740 --> 00:06:50,740
All those in favor? (inaudible)

85
00:07:06,254 --> 00:07:07,171
>> Thank you chairman.

86
00:07:07,171 --> 00:07:08,922
This would be a movement that allows

87
00:07:08,922 --> 00:07:11,554
for the acceptance of money donated to the tree fund

88
00:07:11,554 --> 00:07:16,146
in lieu of planting the full trees for 1339 drive.

89
00:07:16,146 --> 00:07:18,834
There's a company looking at the site

90
00:07:18,834 --> 00:07:21,754
and they're going through a project on site.

91
00:07:21,754 --> 00:07:25,722
And so the unit differential is approximately 16 units

92
00:07:25,722 --> 00:07:28,314
shy of where they should be but they are well

93
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:32,474
within the prescribed required density of the trees

94
00:07:32,474 --> 00:07:37,874
and so that's why the budget for $800 is (inaudible).

95
00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:47,557
Does this request come in over the old -- under the old price?

96
00:07:47,557 --> 00:07:51,634
Soon we will start to see the old but this is --

97
00:07:51,634 --> 00:07:54,634
that was a good question.

98
00:07:55,114 --> 00:07:57,114
Any other questions?

99
00:07:57,802 --> 00:07:59,802
Motion to approve.

100
00:08:02,834 --> 00:08:04,178
>> Yes.

101
00:08:04,178 --> 00:08:06,578
Motion forward for approval.

102
00:08:10,554 --> 00:08:14,507
I make a motion to approve the budget.

103
00:08:14,507 --> 00:08:18,707
In the amount of $800. (inaudible) The ninth?

104
00:08:30,394 --> 00:08:32,394
>> Second. (inaudible)

105
00:08:38,479 --> 00:08:39,394
>> No objection.

106
00:08:39,394 --> 00:08:44,194
That's all we have. (inaudible) we will adjourn.

107
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:56,502
>> Second.

108
00:08:56,502 --> 00:08:57,663
>> Motion and second.

109
00:08:57,663 --> 00:09:01,634
Hearing none all in favor so signify.

110
00:09:01,634 --> 00:09:05,954
The next item is a Distinguished Service Award for Mark.

111
00:09:05,954 --> 00:09:09,554
I'll entertain a motion on that.

112
00:09:10,794 --> 00:09:14,662
>> I'd like to make a motion to honor (inaudible) with

113
00:09:14,662 --> 00:09:16,994
a Distinguished Service Award.

114
00:09:16,994 --> 00:09:18,994
>> I second that.

115
00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:20,594
>> We look forward to do that.

116
00:09:20,594 --> 00:09:22,274
I have a motion and second.

117
00:09:22,274 --> 00:09:24,990
All in favor?

118
00:09:24,990 --> 00:09:29,499
Can we put that on September 9th and vote?

119
00:09:32,354 --> 00:09:35,294
>> This council decides to do so.

120
00:09:35,294 --> 00:09:37,294
>> First off, (inaudible).

121
00:09:39,182 --> 00:09:43,969
Any problem with doing this on the 9th of September?

122
00:09:43,969 --> 00:09:48,596
Hearing none, hopefully we get that on the agenda.

123
00:09:48,596 --> 00:09:50,596
Thank you. >> (inaudible)

124
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,794
>> I've got them covered.

125
00:09:56,794 --> 00:10:00,296
Got it in the cabinet just looking for a --

126
00:10:00,296 --> 00:10:05,936
the Board of Zoning Appeals -- this is on you also so I'll let

127
00:10:05,936 --> 00:10:08,936
you take that. >> (inaudible) second.

128
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:16,344
This is to fill the unexpired -- all right.

129
00:10:16,898 --> 00:10:20,182
We've got a motion and a second.

130
00:10:20,182 --> 00:10:21,626
Any comments and concerns?

131
00:10:21,626 --> 00:10:22,987
All in favor?

132
00:10:22,987 --> 00:10:23,660
3-0.

133
00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:26,660
Is this good for consent?

134
00:10:27,567 --> 00:10:29,567
>> No objection.

135
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:34,340
Last item is the employee group benefits program.

136
00:10:34,340 --> 00:10:40,250
As it says on here, (inaudible) as much as a disclosure.

137
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:48,500
I am an attorney representing -- and R Rock is our legal program

138
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:55,834
that the city uses as part of the benefits program.

139
00:10:55,834 --> 00:10:56,824
>> Good evening.

140
00:10:56,824 --> 00:11:00,514
So this item is the renewal of our employee group benefits

141
00:11:00,514 --> 00:11:02,367
package for our 2027.

142
00:11:02,367 --> 00:11:05,607
We're recommending renewal of all existing benefits

143
00:11:05,607 --> 00:11:09,102
as is with the same carriers and plan designs

144
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:11,746
and for our Anthem health plan, they

145
00:11:11,746 --> 00:11:14,834
are projecting a 2.3 increase based on the clients

146
00:11:14,834 --> 00:11:17,234
experience and medical trends.

147
00:11:17,474 --> 00:11:20,210
The Aetna Medicare Advantage Plan --

148
00:11:20,210 --> 00:11:23,434
for eligible retirees and their spouses --

149
00:11:23,434 --> 00:11:28,834
will receive an 8.89% increase and we're also projecting a 20%

150
00:11:29,514 --> 00:11:33,554
increase to our premiums that we will have later on in the year.

151
00:11:33,554 --> 00:11:37,744
Despite those increases, we were able to recommend

152
00:11:37,744 --> 00:11:41,714
that all employee contributions stay the same again this year

153
00:11:41,714 --> 00:11:43,746
which is a very positive thing.

154
00:11:43,746 --> 00:11:50,346
And we recommend that there's an approval for all the renewals.

155
00:11:51,634 --> 00:11:53,634
>> Ask a question?

156
00:11:53,874 --> 00:11:57,474
2.3 increases -- is a 2.3% a 3% increase?

157
00:12:03,902 --> 00:12:07,502
>> (inaudible) we may see a 2.3 increase.

158
00:12:09,714 --> 00:12:12,114
>> Yes, sorry about that.

159
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:14,682
All right, any questions?

160
00:12:14,682 --> 00:12:16,914
Do I have a motion?

161
00:12:16,914 --> 00:12:18,314
>> Motion to approve.

162
00:12:18,314 --> 00:12:20,314
>> Second.

163
00:12:20,594 --> 00:12:23,200
>> Can we clarify one thing with our attorney?

164
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:31,360
Since this is -- can I vote or do I have to abstain from

165
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,360
voting. >> (inaudible)

166
00:12:33,978 --> 00:12:35,978
>> Thank you.

167
00:12:37,786 --> 00:12:39,994
>> Your vice chair so you're taking over the meeting.

168
00:12:39,994 --> 00:12:41,962
>> We have a motion and a second.

169
00:12:41,962 --> 00:12:46,994
Hearing none, those in favor please indicate your vote

170
00:12:46,994 --> 00:12:49,394
by raising your hand.

171
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:53,323
2-0, one abstention.

172
00:12:53,323 --> 00:12:55,723
Any objection to consent?

173
00:12:56,394 --> 00:12:58,154
>> Thank you.

174
00:12:58,154 --> 00:13:01,340
>> Nothing else coming before the personal Insurance

175
00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,434
Committee, we stand adjourned.

176
00:13:04,714 --> 00:13:08,904
I'd like to call the Parks and Recreation and Tourism

177
00:13:08,904 --> 00:13:09,404
Committee.

178
00:13:09,404 --> 00:13:13,120
First order of business is approving the meeting minutes

179
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,452
for July 2826.

180
00:13:14,452 --> 00:13:15,744
Do we have a motion to approve?

181
00:13:15,744 --> 00:13:17,274
Do we have a second?

182
00:13:17,274 --> 00:13:19,274
All in favor.

183
00:13:19,444 --> 00:13:22,444
Next up, 2009 Parks Bond report.

184
00:13:23,626 --> 00:13:25,418
>> Good evening and thank you Mr. Chairman.

185
00:13:25,418 --> 00:13:28,210
The report in your packet reflects the rebalancing

186
00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:31,174
of funds that was approved at the last council meeting.

187
00:13:31,174 --> 00:13:34,674
Since the last committee report, we've

188
00:13:34,674 --> 00:13:39,474
received interest earnings in the amount of $873 and $0.57.

189
00:13:41,794 --> 00:13:45,298
For the water conservation Plant fund --

190
00:13:45,298 --> 00:13:47,818
we've received the full reimbursement of that with

191
00:13:47,818 --> 00:13:51,514
the exception of the final 10% which is $50,000.

192
00:13:51,514 --> 00:13:53,754
And that will be received once the National Park

193
00:13:53,754 --> 00:13:56,946
Service completes their review and releases those funds

194
00:13:56,946 --> 00:14:01,670
but all of that is in progress.

195
00:14:01,670 --> 00:14:05,514
Then the. -- the process of replacing the damaged drain pipe

196
00:14:05,514 --> 00:14:08,474
with the primary maintenance road and as mentioned

197
00:14:08,474 --> 00:14:13,114
previously, that will replace with a bridge and those are

198
00:14:13,114 --> 00:14:14,144
our current projects.

199
00:14:14,144 --> 00:14:18,925
Mr. Chairman, this report is presented with information

200
00:14:18,925 --> 00:14:21,925
(inaudible) unless you have questions.

201
00:14:23,154 --> 00:14:24,378
>> Any questions?

202
00:14:24,378 --> 00:14:27,327
Seeing none we will go to recreation facilities

203
00:14:27,327 --> 00:14:29,327
annual report.

204
00:14:29,754 --> 00:14:32,374
>> So this is the report for fiscal year 26.

205
00:14:32,374 --> 00:14:37,314
This was for the fitness center and playground in the Franklin

206
00:14:37,314 --> 00:14:39,314
Gateway sports Complex.

207
00:14:39,339 --> 00:14:43,454
On your report you'll see the attendance and revenue totals

208
00:14:43,454 --> 00:14:46,722
for all three facilities for fiscal year --

209
00:14:46,722 --> 00:14:49,826
Fitness Center and we increase the total gross revenue

210
00:14:49,826 --> 00:14:55,431
from the fiscal year by 2% over the previous fiscal year.

211
00:14:55,431 --> 00:14:58,769
(inaudible) open for the season of May

212
00:14:58,769 --> 00:15:01,470
and then we'll continue towards the end of September.

213
00:15:01,470 --> 00:15:05,874
The total gross revenue for the playground was essentially

214
00:15:05,874 --> 00:15:09,304
the same as last year so the same --

215
00:15:09,304 --> 00:15:12,914
we did see an increase in the total number of people who

216
00:15:12,914 --> 00:15:14,727
attended this past fiscal year.

217
00:15:14,727 --> 00:15:18,706
We had an additional 600 people over the previous fiscal year

218
00:15:18,706 --> 00:15:23,506
for just over 27,000 people attending for fiscal year 26.

219
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:29,534
And the sports complex -- we increased total gross revenue

220
00:15:29,534 --> 00:15:34,934
for fiscal year by 7% over the previous fiscal year.

221
00:15:35,544 --> 00:15:39,754
So we have nice growth there as well.

222
00:15:39,754 --> 00:15:43,954
And then all three recreation facilities we have --

223
00:15:43,954 --> 00:15:49,214
we're off to another -- just one note on this report,

224
00:15:49,214 --> 00:15:54,614
we first started giving this report quarterly in 2018 right

225
00:15:56,191 --> 00:16:00,526
after we opened (inaudible) and that made sense at the time.

226
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:03,424
The intent was to measure the growth of those new facilities

227
00:16:03,424 --> 00:16:05,600
and --

228
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,361
and how we're expanding our offerings.

229
00:16:07,361 --> 00:16:10,702
After eight years of quarterly reports,

230
00:16:10,702 --> 00:16:15,634
with no issue by council-- this becomes more of an annual report

231
00:16:15,634 --> 00:16:21,340
-- so this is -- requires no additional action.

232
00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:29,798
>> Do we have any questions on this report?

233
00:16:29,798 --> 00:16:34,194
Seeing none we'll go to the next item which is Motor Vehicle Tax

234
00:16:34,194 --> 00:16:36,194
distribution.

235
00:16:36,634 --> 00:16:38,834
>> I'll kick this off.

236
00:16:38,834 --> 00:16:41,699
So this -- yes sir.

237
00:16:41,699 --> 00:16:46,499
This is not just the tourism contract stuff.

238
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:52,828
(inaudible) this is an item that was first

239
00:16:53,354 --> 00:16:56,874
discussed at the January Parks Recreation Tourism Committee

240
00:16:56,874 --> 00:16:57,374
meeting.

241
00:16:57,374 --> 00:17:00,429
And in February as you'll recall staff

242
00:17:00,429 --> 00:17:02,642
presented the project for discussion

243
00:17:02,642 --> 00:17:07,607
and a copy of that presentation is in your packet.

244
00:17:07,607 --> 00:17:11,260
The memo that you have in front of you

245
00:17:11,260 --> 00:17:15,102
lists three projects being requested by staff.

246
00:17:15,102 --> 00:17:19,902
One is -- and two are Robbie Hall.

247
00:17:20,244 --> 00:17:23,674
Additionally the memo contains a request to Chairman Waters

248
00:17:23,674 --> 00:17:27,420
by the Marietta Chamber of Arts.

249
00:17:27,420 --> 00:17:29,154
And also as part of that conversation,

250
00:17:29,154 --> 00:17:33,540
several council members also request several projects

251
00:17:33,540 --> 00:17:37,640
and those projects are included as part of the presentation.

252
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,664
Those are in there as well.

253
00:17:41,554 --> 00:17:45,754
Chairman waters pointed out that the council plan document

254
00:17:45,754 --> 00:17:51,180
was a previous version of that and it wasn't the final version.

255
00:17:51,180 --> 00:17:53,114
I apologize for that.

256
00:17:53,114 --> 00:17:58,514
The funds available -- (inaudible) rather it should be

257
00:18:01,150 --> 00:18:08,350
one pot of -- and the current total funds available is one

258
00:18:11,339 --> 00:18:13,339
man, $55,036 available.

259
00:18:14,674 --> 00:18:20,674
And for projects and -- this is presented for discussion

260
00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,870
purposes.

261
00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:24,870
Thank you.

262
00:18:25,434 --> 00:18:30,234
So one thing I'll note, it's also --

263
00:18:30,834 --> 00:18:35,634
so the bottom three on here are --

264
00:18:42,509 --> 00:18:48,509
(inaudible) To take that building down and to move on.

265
00:18:49,749 --> 00:18:51,510
Or as a group.

266
00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:56,451
And then the other two I think d (inaudible).

267
00:19:01,551 --> 00:19:05,751
>> In your packet is a paper version.

268
00:19:13,284 --> 00:19:14,909
>> I'll talk to the rest while we're --

269
00:19:14,909 --> 00:19:18,415
the three things they brought forward is --

270
00:19:18,415 --> 00:19:20,779
and I think something very interesting.

271
00:19:20,779 --> 00:19:24,939
The Hall return on investment that was just talked about --

272
00:19:24,939 --> 00:19:28,690
can you shed light on that?

273
00:19:28,690 --> 00:19:34,669
>> I'll ask Mr. Cummings to come down if he doesn't mind.

274
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,202
>> Thank you Mr. Chairman.

275
00:19:39,202 --> 00:19:39,702
Yes I can.

276
00:19:39,702 --> 00:19:43,539
As you all know -- several different functions come at one

277
00:19:43,539 --> 00:19:46,122
of which is houses are Gone with the Wind Museum and gift shop

278
00:19:46,122 --> 00:19:48,960
and also the area that we think we have the most room for growth

279
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,709
is in the event space.

280
00:19:50,709 --> 00:19:53,589
There's limitations with the event space as it currently is

281
00:19:53,589 --> 00:19:56,253
with the house because of the collection cannot be used

282
00:19:56,253 --> 00:19:57,229
to have events.

283
00:19:57,229 --> 00:20:00,179
So when we look at the improvements specifically

284
00:20:00,179 --> 00:20:05,286
for the bridal room, which is -- (inaudible) we feel pretty

285
00:20:05,286 --> 00:20:10,109
confident that we'll be able to increase the revenue that

286
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:13,669
they're bringing in for events pretty substantially with this

287
00:20:13,669 --> 00:20:18,989
investment, so more getting us up to very conservatively

288
00:20:18,989 --> 00:20:20,989
$40,000 per year.

289
00:20:21,113 --> 00:20:25,290
Just through the bridal events that we'd be able to take on.

290
00:20:25,290 --> 00:20:28,266
Also looked at what that wedding does to the hotel.

291
00:20:28,266 --> 00:20:32,114
And so we looked in the average room rental block from it

292
00:20:32,114 --> 00:20:33,166
has come for them.

293
00:20:33,166 --> 00:20:36,223
For weddings it comes to Grundy Hall is 20 rooms.

294
00:20:36,223 --> 00:20:42,490
20 rooms at $200 a night -- for one wedding it would be $8,000.

295
00:20:42,490 --> 00:20:47,449
So we're thinking somewhere around the 12 wedding mark --

296
00:20:49,537 --> 00:20:51,829
also what I think we are extremely conservative numbers

297
00:20:51,829 --> 00:20:56,234
put together by our director -- if 40 people go to the wedding

298
00:20:56,234 --> 00:21:00,135
for dinner, because they are here in Brumby Hall and then

299
00:21:00,135 --> 00:21:04,181
they're going to the square, assuming they spend at least $50

300
00:21:04,181 --> 00:21:05,333
which --

301
00:21:05,333 --> 00:21:10,733
pretty small amount -- (laughs) that would be approximately

302
00:21:11,919 --> 00:21:15,749
$2,000 per wedding of additional economic impact coming

303
00:21:15,749 --> 00:21:19,349
to the square to businesses, functioning as that tourism

304
00:21:19,349 --> 00:21:21,229
piece that we all are focused on.

305
00:21:21,229 --> 00:21:24,173
So the 12 weddings come would that be an additional $24,000.

306
00:21:24,173 --> 00:21:27,773
96 plus $24,000 plus the additional revenue --

307
00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:32,609
staff is very bullish on the potential of this investment

308
00:21:32,609 --> 00:21:35,849
to have a huge impact on tourism.

309
00:21:35,849 --> 00:21:40,109
>> It's a very low economic development forecast on that.

310
00:21:40,109 --> 00:21:43,709
>> The first conservative economic development forecast.

311
00:21:51,991 --> 00:21:55,933
>> Is that the total cost or is that that -- >> Yet.

312
00:21:55,933 --> 00:21:59,557
The 175 is the estimate from the bridal suite.

313
00:21:59,557 --> 00:22:02,895
That's what that would be and then there's the additional cost

314
00:22:02,895 --> 00:22:09,440
of -- which is really more for beautification of the grounds.

315
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,440
(inaudible)

316
00:22:23,965 --> 00:22:24,882
>> It's still in here.

317
00:22:24,882 --> 00:22:26,662
We're trying to get these knocked off.

318
00:22:26,662 --> 00:22:28,322
It's not gone.

319
00:22:28,322 --> 00:22:30,722
It's just -- (inaudible).

320
00:22:34,829 --> 00:22:36,829
>> (inaudible)

321
00:22:37,344 --> 00:22:38,469
>> Kirby is in that packet.

322
00:22:38,469 --> 00:22:40,469
>> Is here.

323
00:22:43,562 --> 00:22:48,362
>> $40,000 and it shows -- >> Kirby is still here.

324
00:22:49,787 --> 00:22:55,187
(inaudible) so then the final Museum of Art --

325
00:22:57,589 --> 00:22:59,269
Octoberfest.

326
00:22:59,269 --> 00:23:02,869
Ask Sally to speak to that.

327
00:23:03,931 --> 00:23:06,931
So the total hall --

328
00:23:07,415 --> 00:23:08,920
175?

329
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:10,920
250.

330
00:23:10,709 --> 00:23:12,709
>> Signage up front.

331
00:23:13,869 --> 00:23:16,615
>> Then you've got the 39,000 --

332
00:23:16,615 --> 00:23:18,735
I'll go ahead with that.

333
00:23:18,735 --> 00:23:21,309
>> You thought we can handle that outside of this?

334
00:23:21,309 --> 00:23:22,269
Okay.

335
00:23:22,269 --> 00:23:24,229
All those other smaller projects will also

336
00:23:24,229 --> 00:23:28,989
get done, so other than building the outdoor pavilion

337
00:23:28,989 --> 00:23:32,330
space for inclement weather, every other project

338
00:23:32,330 --> 00:23:34,799
related to Brumby Hall will be done.

339
00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:37,741
So that's the only thing that's left.

340
00:23:37,741 --> 00:23:39,655
That's a big dollar item.

341
00:23:39,655 --> 00:23:44,455
We have these other projects such as --

342
00:23:44,619 --> 00:23:46,669
(inaudible) and everything else.

343
00:23:46,669 --> 00:23:48,950
250.

344
00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:54,950
And then finally, can we ask -- to come down?

345
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,941
Is that okay?

346
00:23:57,941 --> 00:24:03,341
Do you want to come talk for a second?

347
00:24:16,559 --> 00:24:17,590
>> Okay.

348
00:24:17,590 --> 00:24:18,969
I guess I'll go ahead and ask.

349
00:24:18,969 --> 00:24:22,189
I would like a little bit more money for Octoberfest.

350
00:24:22,189 --> 00:24:26,762
I think we are the second largest event on the square

351
00:24:26,762 --> 00:24:29,162
and people love it.

352
00:24:29,469 --> 00:24:35,469
I just copied u and Andre on an Instagram post

353
00:24:37,242 --> 00:24:43,317
that was sent to me by one of your chalk artists from Italy

354
00:24:43,317 --> 00:24:46,157
and they're doing a chalk festival over there

355
00:24:46,157 --> 00:24:48,474
and there were at least two people that

356
00:24:48,474 --> 00:24:50,874
had shocktoberfest T-shirts on.

357
00:24:51,649 --> 00:24:55,709
It just has put Marietta on a map and --

358
00:24:55,709 --> 00:25:01,140
and I would like to request for more money for Shocktoberfest

359
00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:02,664
this year.

360
00:25:02,664 --> 00:25:06,762
We were able to use points last year

361
00:25:06,762 --> 00:25:08,620
that we don't have this year.

362
00:25:08,620 --> 00:25:11,189
And you can see the requests.

363
00:25:11,189 --> 00:25:15,389
Maybe have any questions from the committee?

364
00:25:15,749 --> 00:25:21,149
Any questions from the rest of Council and mayor?

365
00:25:21,469 --> 00:25:23,469
For her part?

366
00:25:23,789 --> 00:25:28,469
That's not this -- it's not necessarily --

367
00:25:28,469 --> 00:25:31,469
correct me if I'm wrong.

368
00:25:33,789 --> 00:25:39,189
>> Which bucket were you all -- is it 3% auto?

369
00:25:41,629 --> 00:25:45,829
I was looking at both of you.

370
00:25:46,469 --> 00:25:48,469
>> Exactly.

371
00:25:52,749 --> 00:25:55,149
We're still in arrears.

372
00:25:59,166 --> 00:26:00,749
>> You have extra money sitting there.

373
00:26:00,749 --> 00:26:02,749
Yes sir. >> (inaudible)

374
00:26:12,262 --> 00:26:15,262
>> I made you a believer.

375
00:26:17,972 --> 00:26:19,389
>> The story goes back a long way.

376
00:26:19,389 --> 00:26:21,178
Any other questions?

377
00:26:21,178 --> 00:26:25,378
Do we have a motion to approve?

378
00:26:25,869 --> 00:26:27,709
>> Motion to approve.

379
00:26:27,709 --> 00:26:29,709
>> Motion and second.

380
00:26:29,815 --> 00:26:31,815
All in favor?

381
00:26:32,389 --> 00:26:35,389
>> Thank you. >> That's my expectations.

382
00:26:42,237 --> 00:26:44,237
[inaudible conversation]

383
00:26:50,485 --> 00:26:53,485
Everything here Elizabeth -- (inaudible)

384
00:26:56,210 --> 00:26:59,429
Did we decide on what's going to happen -- >> Yes sir.

385
00:26:59,429 --> 00:27:04,829
We presented several options and this should be --

386
00:27:08,150 --> 00:27:08,909
>> Yes sir.

387
00:27:08,909 --> 00:27:13,109
Thank you sir. >> Quick question for you.

388
00:27:17,248 --> 00:27:20,373
For Elizabeth Porter Park, is that something --

389
00:27:20,373 --> 00:27:23,373
ready for next spring? >> (inaudible)

390
00:27:28,509 --> 00:27:32,709
We're still studying bids for demolition now.

391
00:27:35,612 --> 00:27:40,412
(inaudible) the splash pad has its own --

392
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:50,936
probably shoot for end of -- right now we don't have anything

393
00:27:50,936 --> 00:27:52,936
on paper. (inaudible)

394
00:28:04,220 --> 00:28:08,822
>> So the size of that pavilion -- (inaudible)

395
00:28:20,234 --> 00:28:26,834
>> With those it will leave you a little over -- >> (inaudible)

396
00:28:45,903 --> 00:28:47,903
[inaudible conversation]

397
00:29:20,448 --> 00:29:25,248
Remember what would be the timing on --

398
00:29:26,248 --> 00:29:32,480
what's the best timing here to do something like this?

399
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,480
Trailhead --

400
00:29:40,918 --> 00:29:42,918
[inaudible conversation]

401
00:31:09,196 --> 00:31:11,196
>> Any other questions?

402
00:31:17,299 --> 00:31:19,299
[background chatter]

403
00:31:20,348 --> 00:31:22,415
>> Next up, summer camp funding.

404
00:31:22,415 --> 00:31:25,471
>> This is a separate quest for approval for submission

405
00:31:25,471 --> 00:31:28,775
of funding in support of our 2027 summer camp.

406
00:31:28,775 --> 00:31:31,935
We have a funding opportunity available for that

407
00:31:31,935 --> 00:31:36,326
to permit these funds are available through the BOOST

408
00:31:36,326 --> 00:31:39,550
grant programs administered through the Georgia

409
00:31:39,550 --> 00:31:41,455
After School Network Association.

410
00:31:41,550 --> 00:31:44,195
We applied for and are awarded funds

411
00:31:44,195 --> 00:31:50,195
out of the same program for 2022 through 2024 and also again

412
00:31:51,301 --> 00:31:52,355
in 2026.

413
00:31:52,355 --> 00:31:57,671
All those were in support of our summer camp and in 2025 that

414
00:31:57,671 --> 00:32:02,155
funding wasn't -- approval and acceptance of the funding --

415
00:32:02,155 --> 00:32:05,965
our agreement to -- first is the Georgia Department of Education

416
00:32:05,965 --> 00:32:09,775
common conflict of interest and disclosure policy in the second

417
00:32:09,775 --> 00:32:13,680
is the Georgia Recreational Parks Association Memorandum

418
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,743
of Understanding, both of those documents are --

419
00:32:17,743 --> 00:32:19,535
each previous year that we received funding

420
00:32:19,535 --> 00:32:23,787
through this program required us to approve these same two

421
00:32:23,787 --> 00:32:24,287
documents.

422
00:32:24,287 --> 00:32:28,159
The language in both documents for this year were unchanged

423
00:32:28,159 --> 00:32:33,383
from the documents that were -- so they're exactly the same.

424
00:32:33,383 --> 00:32:35,767
No changes on that.

425
00:32:35,767 --> 00:32:42,103
And these documents will only be signed when funding is approved.

426
00:32:42,103 --> 00:32:47,975
The question we had last year was if we would be able to meet

427
00:32:47,975 --> 00:32:50,975
all the requirements of --.

428
00:32:51,775 --> 00:32:55,415
So at this time staff would request a motion to approve

429
00:32:55,415 --> 00:32:57,815
submission of the 2022 --

430
00:33:03,213 --> 00:33:04,713
>> Do we have a motion and a second?

431
00:33:04,713 --> 00:33:06,615
Any further discussion?

432
00:33:06,615 --> 00:33:08,615
Motion to approve.

433
00:33:21,150 --> 00:33:27,615
In the community Park -- (inaudible) and I am in Ward

434
00:33:27,615 --> 00:33:28,255
two.

435
00:33:28,255 --> 00:33:30,255
Yes sir.

436
00:33:31,815 --> 00:33:34,215
>> I apologize for that.

437
00:33:35,815 --> 00:33:42,415
So the park advisory Committee was approved at the last council

438
00:33:43,250 --> 00:33:43,525
meeting.

439
00:33:43,525 --> 00:33:46,275
The purpose of the committee is to work to develop

440
00:33:46,275 --> 00:33:48,575
a new park on Franklin Gateway.

441
00:33:48,575 --> 00:33:51,795
The committee structure was approved for a total of 14

442
00:33:51,795 --> 00:33:56,595
members to be awarded by Council and --

443
00:33:59,389 --> 00:34:05,389
(inaudible) so the packet -- (inaudible) and at this time

444
00:34:08,495 --> 00:34:10,703
staff would recommend a motion to approve the members

445
00:34:10,703 --> 00:34:13,103
of the committee --

446
00:34:19,686 --> 00:34:26,286
>> I have my third name -- (inaudible) which is a partner

447
00:34:29,361 --> 00:34:34,761
with Park Street Elementary. >> (inaudible) so he is definitely

448
00:34:39,348 --> 00:34:45,948
tied into the -- what's going on in Franklin gateway --

449
00:34:51,816 --> 00:34:53,816
>> (inaudible)

450
00:35:03,283 --> 00:35:08,683
>> Eldridge, E l d r i d g e.

451
00:35:08,975 --> 00:35:10,975
>> Thank you.

452
00:35:15,135 --> 00:35:19,335
The committee first -- any other questions?

453
00:35:23,815 --> 00:35:27,815
Anything else you want to add or say about this?

454
00:35:27,815 --> 00:35:33,215
Council and Mayor? >> (inaudible) Of him I think from

455
00:37:29,409 --> 00:37:34,966
the scope of the meeting -- (inaudible) I understand what

456
00:37:34,966 --> 00:37:36,966
you're saying. >> (inaudible)

457
00:38:24,370 --> 00:38:26,370
[inaudible conversation]

458
00:38:52,530 --> 00:38:54,447
>> Do we have a motion to approve the members?

459
00:38:54,447 --> 00:39:00,447
Do we have a second? >> (inaudible) And this is request

460
00:39:34,917 --> 00:39:37,989
by staff for temporary street closing --

461
00:39:37,989 --> 00:39:40,989
which occurs on September --

462
00:39:43,223 --> 00:39:47,423
March 6th 2027. (inaudible) request the other street

463
00:39:50,397 --> 00:39:51,813
closures in January.

464
00:39:51,813 --> 00:39:55,437
For this event that can't leave us enough time

465
00:39:55,437 --> 00:39:59,190
to plan for the event to occur in March.

466
00:39:59,190 --> 00:40:04,590
So for the past few years this event --

467
00:40:05,797 --> 00:40:09,370
of what a level three street closure it looks like.

468
00:40:09,370 --> 00:40:12,461
And so as the event has grown more popular comment this year

469
00:40:12,461 --> 00:40:16,477
we are requesting a level four street closure and a diagram

470
00:40:16,477 --> 00:40:19,661
of a level four street closure --

471
00:40:19,661 --> 00:40:24,921
level four Street closure would also include closure of West

472
00:40:24,921 --> 00:40:29,573
Park Square and portions of -- (inaudible) Church Street

473
00:40:29,573 --> 00:40:30,581
and Mill Street.

474
00:40:30,581 --> 00:40:37,181
Other events with -- include Marietta, 4th of July and --

475
00:40:38,770 --> 00:40:40,157
and chalk Tober Fest.

476
00:40:40,157 --> 00:40:44,357
The 2026 Marietta gathering which occurred on Saturday

477
00:40:45,165 --> 00:40:47,937
saw an attendance of 9000 people.

478
00:40:47,937 --> 00:40:48,873
Well attended.

479
00:40:48,873 --> 00:40:55,357
By way of comparison, this of the 2025 Art in the Park

480
00:40:55,357 --> 00:40:57,577
had an attendance of 7000.

481
00:40:57,577 --> 00:41:03,120
So we had 28% more people at the gathering which is of course

482
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:08,520
a very well attended -- (inaudible) that has become

483
00:41:12,421 --> 00:41:14,117
quite large.

484
00:41:14,117 --> 00:41:16,677
So the street closure would allow opportunities

485
00:41:16,677 --> 00:41:18,617
for additional arts and crafts vendors,

486
00:41:18,617 --> 00:41:23,623
more program space as well as additional space to --

487
00:41:23,623 --> 00:41:26,277
and that comes to that event.

488
00:41:26,277 --> 00:41:31,770
Also, that event utilizes -- for programing --

489
00:41:34,965 --> 00:41:38,389
the street closure would close the entirety of the event

490
00:41:38,389 --> 00:41:41,177
and the program space and it would eliminate the need

491
00:41:41,177 --> 00:41:46,161
for attendees to go back and forth across West Park Square.

492
00:41:46,161 --> 00:41:50,677
So this time staff would request a motion to authorize street

493
00:41:50,677 --> 00:41:53,677
closures on Saturday March 6th, 2027.

494
00:41:56,353 --> 00:42:01,153
>> (inaudible) own properties in the downtown area of.

495
00:42:08,992 --> 00:42:10,617
>> Any further questions or discussion?

496
00:42:10,617 --> 00:42:13,170
A motion to approve.

497
00:42:13,570 --> 00:42:15,570
Motion and second.

498
00:42:15,357 --> 00:42:16,917
>> Second.

499
00:42:16,917 --> 00:42:18,917
>> All in favor?

500
00:42:19,157 --> 00:42:21,557
All right. (inaudible) three.

501
00:42:25,990 --> 00:42:27,557
Consent?

502
00:42:27,557 --> 00:42:30,557
>> Consent to. >> (inaudible) Thank you.

503
00:42:36,909 --> 00:42:39,839
So this item was requested by Council member Anderson

504
00:42:39,839 --> 00:42:42,239
through the Tourism Committee.

505
00:42:42,569 --> 00:42:44,914
This item was tabled.

506
00:42:44,914 --> 00:42:47,982
Since that time Council Anderson and I had the opportunity

507
00:42:47,982 --> 00:42:52,741
to speak and as a result of that conversation we updated rental

508
00:42:52,741 --> 00:42:57,722
policy for the fields, not only Custer Park Sports Complex

509
00:42:57,722 --> 00:43:02,389
but also -- and so at this time we're presenting that

510
00:43:02,389 --> 00:43:04,389
for discussion purposes.

511
00:43:20,240 --> 00:43:22,240
[inaudible conversation]

512
00:43:24,547 --> 00:43:31,819
>> I can do it right down to the -- essentially the policy --

513
00:43:31,819 --> 00:43:35,419
Council member Anderson was asking --

514
00:43:35,472 --> 00:43:39,269
some of the rental policies -- of a sports complex which

515
00:43:39,269 --> 00:43:45,269
allowed for an unlimited number of rentals that were --

516
00:43:49,179 --> 00:43:55,179
organizations and teams -- this allowed them to rent --

517
00:43:56,344 --> 00:44:01,979
and so -- (inaudible) on a quarterly basis and they can

518
00:44:01,979 --> 00:44:06,779
rent fields for games up to one year.

519
00:44:07,291 --> 00:44:14,139
(inaudible) if you like I can do a detailed breakdown but those

520
00:44:14,139 --> 00:44:16,539
are the --. >> (inaudible)

521
00:44:23,632 --> 00:44:26,320
>> I can do that.

522
00:44:27,614 --> 00:44:29,614
>> Yes sir. >> (inaudible)

523
00:44:33,715 --> 00:44:35,215
>> Mr. Anderson, you brought this --

524
00:44:35,215 --> 00:44:38,279
>> I think we went over pretty well --

525
00:44:38,279 --> 00:44:41,279
gathering these details -- (inaudible).

526
00:44:43,983 --> 00:44:48,695
It covers everything to where these Marietta --

527
00:44:48,695 --> 00:44:52,295
and actually make a schedule --

528
00:44:57,944 --> 00:44:58,590
>> Okay.

529
00:44:58,590 --> 00:45:01,590
Any other questions for Council?

530
00:45:03,370 --> 00:45:07,570
can we have a motion on that?

531
00:45:07,598 --> 00:45:08,973
>> If you're ready to approve it.

532
00:45:08,973 --> 00:45:11,849
At the work session I can bring a --

533
00:45:11,849 --> 00:45:17,249
so you can see very specifically what we changed.

534
00:45:17,392 --> 00:45:20,339
>> Do we need to bring it there or do we need to --

535
00:45:20,339 --> 00:45:24,993
maybe the best way to handle this policy?

536
00:45:24,993 --> 00:45:30,393
>> (inaudible) so I think the only thing left --

537
00:45:40,580 --> 00:45:45,458
you probably move it to the Monday meeting. (inaudible)

538
00:46:10,690 --> 00:46:12,459
>> It would be open to everybody.

539
00:46:12,459 --> 00:46:18,459
If anybody wants to preserve -- it just allows --

540
00:46:26,499 --> 00:46:31,299
because they can't really do their schedule --

541
00:46:38,407 --> 00:46:44,407
>> We all know how work -- (inaudible) we can't favor

542
00:46:45,690 --> 00:46:48,690
Marietta residents over county residents.

543
00:46:50,979 --> 00:46:57,139
We have a motion to move this to the work session?

544
00:46:57,139 --> 00:46:59,139
All in favor?

545
00:47:07,273 --> 00:47:10,273
>> Park and tourism is adjourned.

546
00:47:18,339 --> 00:47:23,139
Call to order the -- (inaudible) June 23rd, 2026.

547
00:47:29,447 --> 00:47:34,847
(inaudible) is there any further discussion on this item?

548
00:47:35,659 --> 00:47:39,471
All those in favor please rise raise your right hand.

549
00:47:39,471 --> 00:47:41,471
Motion carries 3-0.

550
00:47:42,755 --> 00:47:45,452
Next item of business is the Travel and Training Code

551
00:47:45,452 --> 00:47:47,452
amendment.

552
00:47:47,899 --> 00:47:49,899
Thank you chairman.

553
00:47:51,859 --> 00:47:58,945
>> So this is a code amendment for the travel and Training Code

554
00:47:58,945 --> 00:48:03,745
section -- the travel and Training policy provides

555
00:48:06,252 --> 00:48:08,419
(inaudible) reimbursable travel and related expenses

556
00:48:08,419 --> 00:48:10,723
for our city employees.

557
00:48:10,723 --> 00:48:16,699
Last policy revision that we had for this section was in 2007.

558
00:48:16,699 --> 00:48:19,659
The current proposal, we are looking

559
00:48:19,659 --> 00:48:24,459
to update the administrative verbiage in the code

560
00:48:24,659 --> 00:48:26,931
to align with those everyday practices

561
00:48:26,931 --> 00:48:32,931
as well as updating some of the allotment and mileage

562
00:48:33,667 --> 00:48:39,670
to coincide with some of the present day pricing.

563
00:48:39,739 --> 00:48:44,139
You should find in there the redline copy all of the edits

564
00:48:44,139 --> 00:48:45,219
that we have.

565
00:48:45,219 --> 00:48:49,325
I will briefly go through the major modifications

566
00:48:49,325 --> 00:48:50,825
that we included.

567
00:48:50,825 --> 00:48:56,225
One is that we have increased our approval from $500,

568
00:48:58,803 --> 00:49:05,283
our initial -- for anything $500 or more we typically go to city

569
00:49:05,283 --> 00:49:09,203
manager or his designee for final approval.

570
00:49:09,203 --> 00:49:14,520
We raise that amount to 1000 just because of volume --

571
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,819
related to the number of travel and training requests received.

572
00:49:17,819 --> 00:49:22,939
The removal of the travel agency booking requirements --

573
00:49:22,939 --> 00:49:27,219
that was something that was previously done in years past.

574
00:49:27,219 --> 00:49:33,819
We handle all of the travel and training in Parkway now.

575
00:49:34,250 --> 00:49:38,190
I wanted to remove that portion from the verbiage as well.

576
00:49:38,190 --> 00:49:42,435
And then we also now have incorporated a credit card

577
00:49:42,435 --> 00:49:47,835
for emergency purposes as well as for training materials.

578
00:49:49,319 --> 00:49:53,209
This does not include any lodging, airfare

579
00:49:53,209 --> 00:49:55,320
or transportation for employees.

580
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,699
All of that has to come with the expense of the employees to be

581
00:49:59,699 --> 00:50:04,499
reimbursed but it does allow for registration materials

582
00:50:05,339 --> 00:50:12,949
and emergency services that may come up in the event of a travel

583
00:50:12,949 --> 00:50:18,190
and training emergency and then the expansion of our lodging

584
00:50:18,190 --> 00:50:22,219
to include short term rentals, previously --

585
00:50:23,405 --> 00:50:27,500
it was just for hotels only.

586
00:50:28,990 --> 00:50:31,779
Because of some of the variations and options

587
00:50:31,779 --> 00:50:33,699
that are available to us.

588
00:50:33,699 --> 00:50:37,465
Wanted to expand that portion as well.

589
00:50:37,465 --> 00:50:42,865
For our mileage, the use of personal vehicles --

590
00:50:44,259 --> 00:50:47,859
we expanded from 100 miles to 400 miles.

591
00:50:48,190 --> 00:50:55,227
The reason for that is it allows for the outskirts on our county

592
00:50:55,227 --> 00:51:00,419
line to the longest distance to the state line --

593
00:51:00,419 --> 00:51:04,187
so this is for all in-state travel.

594
00:51:04,187 --> 00:51:10,787
It's 370 miles so -- for up to 400 miles for personal vehicle

595
00:51:10,979 --> 00:51:11,531
use.

596
00:51:11,531 --> 00:51:13,931
That was for in-state.

597
00:51:14,499 --> 00:51:19,899
Ground transportation -- we just expanded that to include

598
00:51:20,939 --> 00:51:21,579
Rideshares.

599
00:51:21,579 --> 00:51:25,419
Previously just had taxis and things of that nature.

600
00:51:25,419 --> 00:51:29,459
So updating the terminology for a present day use.

601
00:51:29,459 --> 00:51:34,259
Current ordinance -- also increases our reimbursement rate

602
00:51:35,175 --> 00:51:36,687
for employees.

603
00:51:36,687 --> 00:51:42,479
They like to have that effective as of October 1st --

604
00:51:42,479 --> 00:51:45,479
it raises it from $40 to $50.

605
00:51:46,356 --> 00:51:52,847
And then our mileage from the current $0.40 to the current --

606
00:51:52,847 --> 00:51:59,447
and it would then follow the IRS rate adjustments each year

607
00:51:59,679 --> 00:52:04,414
and that would also coincide with how the mileage calculation

608
00:52:04,414 --> 00:52:09,814
for -- for our other areas that are calculated.

609
00:52:10,675 --> 00:52:15,475
So that would adjust each year with --

610
00:52:21,466 --> 00:52:24,250
>> I will have questions before --

611
00:52:24,250 --> 00:52:29,425
(inaudible) anything you all want to start off with.

612
00:52:33,273 --> 00:52:35,619
>> I have issues with a couple grammatical things I want

613
00:52:35,619 --> 00:52:39,819
to address. >> (inaudible) To start off with,

614
00:52:56,205 --> 00:53:00,405
stuff under 500 -- how does that --

615
00:53:04,699 --> 00:53:09,659
is the current process just they don't have to get prior

616
00:53:09,659 --> 00:53:13,259
approval, they just have to -- ?

617
00:53:13,977 --> 00:53:15,727
>> The approval process is still the same.

618
00:53:15,727 --> 00:53:20,227
It starts with the employee and goes to either the --

619
00:53:20,227 --> 00:53:24,179
supervisor if there is one and then the park with

620
00:53:24,179 --> 00:53:25,259
the department head.

621
00:53:25,259 --> 00:53:31,190
All of those got to take place prior to being moved forward

622
00:53:31,190 --> 00:53:32,747
to the budget division.

623
00:53:32,747 --> 00:53:36,239
This is for prior approval as well as approval

624
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,190
after the training.

625
00:53:38,190 --> 00:53:42,819
So the difference here is anything under $1,000 currently

626
00:53:44,969 --> 00:53:50,369
is under $500 would then be moved to the City

627
00:53:51,688 --> 00:53:53,190
Manager's office.

628
00:53:53,190 --> 00:53:58,259
At this point anything under $1,000 can stop at the budget

629
00:53:58,259 --> 00:54:01,990
office and not have to have the additional City Manager

630
00:54:01,990 --> 00:54:03,990
approval.

631
00:54:05,499 --> 00:54:09,659
>> (inaudible) maybe there's still that paper trail and that

632
00:54:09,659 --> 00:54:11,619
ask.

633
00:54:11,619 --> 00:54:12,459
>> Yes sir.

634
00:54:12,459 --> 00:54:14,339
Yes.

635
00:54:14,339 --> 00:54:20,339
>> That's the part I was trying to get at. >> (inaudible)

636
00:54:24,219 --> 00:54:30,819
On the short term rental, that's mostly for going to conference

637
00:54:31,827 --> 00:54:35,390
or -- or if employees go to the conference.

638
00:54:35,390 --> 00:54:39,895
It allows for short term rentals to be added in.

639
00:54:39,895 --> 00:54:42,325
What are the consequences of that?

640
00:54:42,325 --> 00:54:48,325
Do they still have the same hotel tax exclusion --

641
00:54:51,381 --> 00:54:54,981
is that still an issue? (inaudible)

642
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:00,872
>> We reviewed them all on an individual basis.

643
00:55:01,499 --> 00:55:06,299
The employees should pick the most economical route

644
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:09,559
for their travel and training.

645
00:55:11,159 --> 00:55:13,959
If sometimes that has been, especially

646
00:55:13,959 --> 00:55:18,531
if there is a group or different regions,

647
00:55:18,531 --> 00:55:24,529
the short term rental has been a more economical option for them.

648
00:55:24,529 --> 00:55:31,485
We do review them in advance to make sure that from a safety

649
00:55:31,485 --> 00:55:36,885
and risk perspective -- that that is in compliance.

650
00:55:39,859 --> 00:55:43,654
From an economic standpoint, that is in compliance --

651
00:55:43,654 --> 00:55:49,540
it goes through the same review process -- (inaudible)

652
00:55:50,739 --> 00:55:52,811
>> The more so is what I was looking for.

653
00:55:52,811 --> 00:55:55,811
It's not exactly the same.

654
00:55:58,899 --> 00:56:03,990
So that was where my concern was.

655
00:56:03,979 --> 00:56:08,779
I understand seeing -- (inaudible) just concerns it

656
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,244
could also go to the non-economic range.

657
00:56:21,309 --> 00:56:23,590
>> In the mean time it would come up is --

658
00:56:23,590 --> 00:56:27,859
somebody is going out of town and --

659
00:56:29,221 --> 00:56:34,383
(inaudible) and the hotel they're having the meeting in is

660
00:56:34,383 --> 00:56:38,583
more expensive than -- (inaudible) maybe even

661
00:56:45,971 --> 00:56:52,323
if the Airbnb -- they just kept their reimbursement at the rate

662
00:56:52,323 --> 00:56:53,519
of the hotel?

663
00:56:53,519 --> 00:56:56,824
What if you would just prefer to stay in an Airbnb

664
00:56:56,824 --> 00:56:59,859
and you can do your own cooking and you would feel

665
00:56:59,859 --> 00:57:02,259
better that way? >> (inaudible)

666
00:57:08,289 --> 00:57:14,289
>> Right, and it's just capped at whatever the rates --

667
00:57:14,448 --> 00:57:16,448
>> (inaudible)

668
00:57:26,219 --> 00:57:27,219
>> As far as the review?

669
00:57:27,219 --> 00:57:31,739
>> The economic parts -- more expensive hotel options.

670
00:57:31,739 --> 00:57:35,939
>> The economic part is -- (inaudible) >> (inaudible)

671
00:57:41,563 --> 00:57:45,163
the hotel motel tax -- (inaudible)

672
00:57:49,617 --> 00:57:50,825
>> In most cases they do not.

673
00:57:50,825 --> 00:57:55,250
At the same time, they don't necessarily

674
00:57:55,432 --> 00:57:57,832
have the additional taxes.

675
00:57:59,523 --> 00:58:05,359
It's more so flat fee when you are doing the Airbnbs.

676
00:58:05,359 --> 00:58:09,559
Short term rentals. >> (inaudible) when you're adding

677
00:58:25,571 --> 00:58:34,571
that in -- these places and it was done in -- one still kept --

678
00:58:35,387 --> 00:58:40,187
(inaudible) for the sake of differentiating -- (inaudible)

679
00:58:46,725 --> 00:58:49,125
>> That was the intent.

680
00:58:56,581 --> 00:58:58,581
[inaudible conversation]

681
00:59:03,993 --> 00:59:05,451
>> One suggestive word change on --

682
00:59:05,451 --> 00:59:11,451
it says receipts for such services must be provided --

683
00:59:14,511 --> 00:59:16,511
(inaudible)

684
00:59:32,330 --> 00:59:33,908
>> There's some math as part of this as well.

685
00:59:33,908 --> 00:59:36,350
It didn't add up for me.

686
00:59:36,350 --> 00:59:39,350
It's over on page six.

687
00:59:51,523 --> 00:59:54,559
>> Under subsection B -- the previous math I also wasn't sure

688
00:59:54,559 --> 00:59:59,359
-- the previous one when it was $40 --

689
01:00:02,664 --> 01:00:05,664
(inaudible) A 15 for dinner. (inaudible)

690
01:00:19,613 --> 01:00:24,939
>> The $8 for the tips to $10 -- (inaudible) where that

691
01:00:24,939 --> 01:00:29,139
difference was in Y -- $10 for tips.

692
01:00:38,861 --> 01:00:42,391
>> The you gave -- (inaudible) $50 a day with a luncheon rate

693
01:00:42,391 --> 01:00:47,242
-- the luncheon is provided as part of the registration.

694
01:00:47,242 --> 01:00:50,242
(inaudible) Wouldn't that be 50 -13?

695
01:01:00,299 --> 01:01:02,299
>> Yes.

696
01:01:02,805 --> 01:01:06,405
>> Right now the example is off.

697
01:01:06,738 --> 01:01:11,538
And there is some additional grammar stuff --

698
01:01:13,101 --> 01:01:17,301
(inaudible) it does need to be corrected.

699
01:01:18,578 --> 01:01:22,178
And also getting consistency throughout --

700
01:01:23,894 --> 01:01:30,494
(inaudible) or their -- but he has been kept in --

701
01:01:34,459 --> 01:01:36,859
(inaudible) and their designee.

702
01:01:36,998 --> 01:01:42,998
There's a shift in some things -- also requesting --

703
01:01:49,404 --> 01:01:53,604
(inaudible) and I'm not sure that's appropriate.

704
01:01:57,979 --> 01:02:05,179
The IRS rates -- the language used right now is -- ambiguous.

705
01:02:08,990 --> 01:02:12,519
It talks about being in accordance with the Internal

706
01:02:12,519 --> 01:02:16,333
Revenue Service standard rate effective July 1st.

707
01:02:16,333 --> 01:02:24,133
It just keeps -- the rate for the IRS goes in effect --

708
01:02:27,699 --> 01:02:32,499
(inaudible) which July 1st are you talking about?

709
01:02:32,753 --> 01:02:36,590
(inaudible) on adopting that rate as part of the budget cost

710
01:02:36,590 --> 01:02:36,771
essentially.

711
01:02:36,771 --> 01:02:41,571
So the rate only goes up within --

712
01:02:42,419 --> 01:02:47,219
otherwise it keeps it the previous year --

713
01:02:51,133 --> 01:02:52,500
>> Although the IRS --

714
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:56,156
I kept it a little bit ambiguous because I did not

715
01:02:56,156 --> 01:02:59,259
want to tie specific rates because we have

716
01:02:59,259 --> 01:03:02,859
to change the code each year.

717
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,307
>> I understand and agree with that.

718
01:03:06,307 --> 01:03:11,707
>> (inaudible) so it shows what the current rate is.

719
01:03:17,562 --> 01:03:21,162
(inaudible) almost like a schedule update.

720
01:03:24,590 --> 01:03:30,659
In case you have a bad year -- >> (inaudible) Right now

721
01:03:56,450 --> 01:04:00,845
it's just -- it doesn't say current though.

722
01:04:05,124 --> 01:04:09,324
(inaudible) What we're trying to get at.

723
01:04:17,552 --> 01:04:24,152
You're trying to get at -- (inaudible) it needs a little

724
01:04:26,112 --> 01:04:28,112
bit of wordsmithing.

725
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:44,520
>> Would you be okay with -- it does appear in other places.

726
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:51,800
>> Would you be okay with -- and have a link to that and then

727
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,408
take out the --

728
01:05:07,189 --> 01:05:09,214
>> The only concern I have on that is --

729
01:05:09,214 --> 01:05:14,468
our budgets get tied to this rate whenever --

730
01:05:14,468 --> 01:05:17,440
we usually get our update in March.

731
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:19,444
For the council rate.

732
01:05:21,312 --> 01:05:26,112
Even though the rate theoretically starts up --

733
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:33,672
it probably should be tied to -- (inaudible) so we have

734
01:05:35,271 --> 01:05:39,752
a definitive date and we can plan our budget around that.

735
01:05:39,752 --> 01:05:46,304
I think the reason you put July 1st is -- >> Yes.

736
01:05:46,304 --> 01:05:53,504
I can't discard that because -- if council approves that rate --

737
01:05:56,990 --> 01:06:00,299
(inaudible) typically that goes into effect --

738
01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:08,672
Council reviews it and -- and it takes effect in March.

739
01:06:11,992 --> 01:06:16,900
It can be part of the overall budget process and automatically

740
01:06:16,900 --> 01:06:21,632
you know -- is going to take effect July 1st when the budget

741
01:06:21,632 --> 01:06:29,272
is -- (inaudible) and that would go back to having it stay most

742
01:06:29,272 --> 01:06:32,342
current Internal Revenue service and mileage.

743
01:06:32,342 --> 01:06:35,942
And removing the July 1st date.

744
01:06:37,312 --> 01:06:42,112
>> As long as we get tied down --

745
01:06:44,432 --> 01:06:47,176
>> (inaudible) that's kind of what I was getting

746
01:06:47,176 --> 01:06:51,976
at. (inaudible) for the council side of this?

747
01:06:53,249 --> 01:07:01,649
We bring it up and we update -- so then we know getting --

748
01:07:05,312 --> 01:07:10,712
we can adequately plan for that going forward. >> (inaudible)

749
01:07:34,268 --> 01:07:39,680
>> I've been here 60 years. (inaudible) maybe I'm sorry?

750
01:07:44,636 --> 01:07:49,416
>> (inaudible) what you're doing is looking up the --

751
01:07:49,416 --> 01:07:51,416
>> Absolutely.

752
01:07:55,276 --> 01:07:56,609
>> There's no individual motion.

753
01:07:56,609 --> 01:07:59,900
We incorporated by reference.

754
01:08:01,872 --> 01:08:06,480
We are not changing anything other than the budget,

755
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,480
right? >> (inaudible)

756
01:08:14,948 --> 01:08:18,396
>> We want to do the same thing you all are doing.

757
01:08:18,396 --> 01:08:23,196
>> (inaudible) they are dealing with a different --

758
01:08:24,192 --> 01:08:28,698
if you budget it you'll go over it.

759
01:08:28,698 --> 01:08:32,898
Or somebody comes who is -- (inaudible)

760
01:08:36,472 --> 01:08:39,472
>> We have to watch that.

761
01:08:47,140 --> 01:08:52,320
>> So what are we saying? >> (inaudible) still needs to be

762
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:57,432
updated regardless -- (inaudible) I think we can all

763
01:08:59,641 --> 01:09:01,641
disagree on that.

764
01:09:05,977 --> 01:09:07,977
F >> (inaudible)

765
01:09:23,424 --> 01:09:25,632
>> We're arguing about when the rate goes into effect

766
01:09:25,632 --> 01:09:27,632
essentially.

767
01:09:31,763 --> 01:09:33,763
[NO AUDIO]

768
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:41,373
>> So what do we need to do?

769
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:52,544
>> I guess my question -- why do we need an effective date

770
01:09:52,544 --> 01:09:53,808
at all?

771
01:09:53,808 --> 01:09:56,808
The mileage reimbursement rate (inaudible)

772
01:09:58,420 --> 01:10:03,220
with the current IRS standard mileage rate. >> (inaudible)

773
01:10:10,599 --> 01:10:16,592
>> If it went up-- we're trying to just tie it to that rate.

774
01:10:16,592 --> 01:10:22,605
Even if it goes up in the budget year, it's going to be pennies.

775
01:10:22,605 --> 01:10:30,405
At the end of the day we'll do a whole lot of reserve

776
01:10:30,457 --> 01:10:35,537
which we'll never know about because it will be pennies.

777
01:10:35,537 --> 01:10:37,537
>> (inaudible)

778
01:10:44,477 --> 01:10:46,477
>> You said in accordance with the current rate.

779
01:10:46,477 --> 01:10:49,912
You're going to go hop in your car and drive.

780
01:10:49,912 --> 01:10:53,305
>> We've got forms that are used to calculate --

781
01:10:53,305 --> 01:10:58,705
was it changes we just changed the form. (inaudible)

782
01:11:03,112 --> 01:11:04,112
>> Are the forms online?

783
01:11:04,112 --> 01:11:06,850
>> Yes.

784
01:11:06,850 --> 01:11:10,452
>> The travel and training forms are online and the IRS code

785
01:11:10,452 --> 01:11:15,852
rates are available online through the IRS as well.

786
01:11:18,343 --> 01:11:19,499
>>

787
01:11:19,499 --> 01:11:21,499
(inaudible)

788
01:11:26,995 --> 01:11:29,112
>> And I will link that.

789
01:11:29,112 --> 01:11:31,512
>> Current rate is 72.5 cents.

790
01:11:34,900 --> 01:11:35,512
I have to take a look up whenever --

791
01:11:35,512 --> 01:11:41,512
I got a form that had no rate on it.

792
01:11:42,152 --> 01:11:48,822
I do agree that we do need to get up from where it was --

793
01:11:48,822 --> 01:11:54,822
because 2007, 2026 is quite a bit different in terms of --.

794
01:12:11,766 --> 01:12:16,566
>> (inaudible) to make sure everything is caught up.

795
01:12:19,592 --> 01:12:21,592
Page two.

796
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:33,872
On number eight -- up above -- why was all that taken out?

797
01:12:41,912 --> 01:12:47,912
I think the point was to try to -- >> (inaudible)

798
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:57,412
>> It is -- it was just because of --

799
01:13:01,352 --> 01:13:06,792
it was a question marks and it was asking questions versus

800
01:13:06,792 --> 01:13:08,792
providing information.

801
01:13:09,165 --> 01:13:12,165
Didn't necessarily provide additional guidance.

802
01:13:16,112 --> 01:13:18,512
Just simplified it. >> (inaudible)

803
01:13:58,622 --> 01:14:02,822
>> It doesn't change it. (inaudible) on scheduled

804
01:14:03,490 --> 01:14:05,490
training events. (inaudible)

805
01:14:17,685 --> 01:14:21,192
>> I think that last sentence in there was --

806
01:14:21,192 --> 01:14:25,392
(inaudible) with what people actually did --

807
01:14:28,700 --> 01:14:32,870
that last sentence that got added in (inaudible).

808
01:14:35,490 --> 01:14:38,490
Be prepared to show proof.

809
01:14:40,930 --> 01:14:43,930
I'll add that back in.

810
01:14:45,210 --> 01:14:49,287
So that first line that kind of outlines --

811
01:14:49,287 --> 01:14:54,870
in a little bit more detail -- >> (inaudible)

812
01:15:02,374 --> 01:15:08,974
>> If you're worried about the rest of this stuff -- >> Okay.

813
01:15:09,330 --> 01:15:12,496
Part of it is trying to make sure --

814
01:15:12,496 --> 01:15:18,496
that's the reason why the city is paying -- (inaudible)

815
01:15:29,374 --> 01:15:31,774
>> Add that back in.

816
01:15:33,201 --> 01:15:39,201
Under 4434-04 Definitions B, the line was removed talking about

817
01:15:40,250 --> 01:15:47,450
-- prior to any events being issued -- why was that removed?

818
01:15:50,660 --> 01:15:57,260
(inaudible) is it because you thought it was extraneous or --

819
01:15:59,651 --> 01:16:04,170
>> It's because there are some situations where they are rare

820
01:16:04,170 --> 01:16:10,900
but they are situations where travel and training is approved

821
01:16:10,900 --> 01:16:15,570
by the department head due to the timing and they will go

822
01:16:15,570 --> 01:16:21,570
on the training prior to the approval and we --

823
01:16:24,802 --> 01:16:27,330
we don't encourage that but there are cases and this

824
01:16:27,330 --> 01:16:32,290
particular line item kind of excludes that and there have

825
01:16:32,290 --> 01:16:37,690
been questions as to whether or not -- >> (inaudible)

826
01:16:46,173 --> 01:16:50,973
>> The emergency was related to the credit card.

827
01:16:51,250 --> 01:16:55,810
And so they would go on the training com and pay for it

828
01:16:55,810 --> 01:16:58,890
themselves -- it wasn't necessarily they were using

829
01:16:58,890 --> 01:17:04,402
the credit card but -- they didn't allow enough time

830
01:17:04,402 --> 01:17:08,338
for prior approval before they took the training.

831
01:17:08,338 --> 01:17:14,290
As I've mentioned, that's -- in most instances but there has

832
01:17:14,290 --> 01:17:19,958
been some questions as to whether or not the travel --

833
01:17:19,958 --> 01:17:24,138
>> All approvals must be obtained in writing --

834
01:17:24,138 --> 01:17:28,316
(inaudible) so that usually means I'm getting payment before

835
01:17:28,316 --> 01:17:30,716
going to -- >> Yes.

836
01:17:33,330 --> 01:17:37,903
>> Correct. >> (inaudible) they went and paid for it themselves

837
01:17:37,903 --> 01:17:39,903
and --

838
01:17:43,419 --> 01:17:47,619
>> I can absolutely add it back in.

839
01:17:51,330 --> 01:17:56,730
Maybe I'm just trying to cover -- (inaudible) understood.

840
01:18:12,208 --> 01:18:14,100
>> Yes sir?

841
01:18:14,100 --> 01:18:18,210
>> Going back to item number eight --

842
01:18:21,268 --> 01:18:22,349
>> Which page are you on?

843
01:18:22,349 --> 01:18:24,100
Page two.

844
01:18:24,100 --> 01:18:26,100
>> Oh yes.

845
01:18:26,650 --> 01:18:33,850
So the request was to have the verbiage -- keep adequate --

846
01:18:34,980 --> 01:18:37,330
and training offered to take and complete it,

847
01:18:37,330 --> 01:18:41,522
including attendance -- on schedule training events period.

848
01:18:41,522 --> 01:18:47,978
And then next line item would be the add in for the employees may

849
01:18:47,978 --> 01:18:51,983
be required to provide -- for registered courses when

850
01:18:51,983 --> 01:18:53,983
available.

851
01:19:12,463 --> 01:19:17,123
>> It's page three where the other reference --

852
01:19:17,123 --> 01:19:20,123
>> I'll update that throughout --

853
01:19:40,191 --> 01:19:44,391
>> That was most of my stuff --

854
01:19:45,450 --> 01:19:49,500
Is there any other discussion? (inaudible)

855
01:20:02,157 --> 01:20:07,546
>> I make a motion -- maybe motion made and seconded.

856
01:20:07,546 --> 01:20:12,346
Is there any further discussion on this item?

857
01:20:15,330 --> 01:20:20,100
Hearing none all those in favor please raise your hand.

858
01:20:20,100 --> 01:20:22,100
Motion passes 3-0.

859
01:20:22,950 --> 01:20:27,200
Next item of business is a data center ordinance

860
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,200
of Georgia Tech.

861
01:20:38,985 --> 01:20:39,652
>> Good evening.

862
01:20:39,652 --> 01:20:41,290
Thank you.

863
01:20:41,290 --> 01:20:44,402
After last month's meeting cycle Council

864
01:20:44,402 --> 01:20:47,950
asked staff to go back and look at the ordinance that

865
01:20:47,950 --> 01:20:49,610
was presented.

866
01:20:49,610 --> 01:20:52,100
The ordinance was revisited.

867
01:20:52,355 --> 01:20:54,730
We took the comments that Council had at the last meeting

868
01:20:54,730 --> 01:20:57,330
and tried to incorporate as many of those as we could

869
01:20:57,330 --> 01:20:59,794
in the draft that's before you.

870
01:20:59,794 --> 01:21:03,994
This draft ordinance is -- for discussion.

871
01:21:04,140 --> 01:21:07,950
Staff has talked about it internally.

872
01:21:07,950 --> 01:21:08,914
Planning and zoning if you've looked at it.

873
01:21:08,914 --> 01:21:13,114
With some more comments that aren't --

874
01:21:13,496 --> 01:21:17,958
(inaudible) and then you also have the Georgia Tech proposal

875
01:21:17,958 --> 01:21:20,666
in front of you and that's something that you would like

876
01:21:20,666 --> 01:21:21,320
to consider.

877
01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:25,810
I know there's several questions about the draft proposal.

878
01:21:25,810 --> 01:21:28,570
I had conversations with Georgia Tech

879
01:21:28,570 --> 01:21:30,147
to address some of those questions.

880
01:21:30,147 --> 01:21:34,623
And I'll be able to talk about the ordinance for the proposal

881
01:21:34,623 --> 01:21:36,623
--

882
01:21:39,846 --> 01:21:46,900
>> I'll ask committee members -- the Georgia Tech proposal or --

883
01:21:46,900 --> 01:21:52,783
maybe I guess my question -- are we looking to vote on this draft

884
01:21:52,783 --> 01:21:54,183
ordinance?

885
01:21:54,183 --> 01:21:56,183
>> No.

886
01:21:56,490 --> 01:22:00,900
>> This is almost like a buffet.

887
01:22:00,170 --> 01:22:02,170
>> We do.

888
01:22:03,330 --> 01:22:05,730
>> Yes, we do. >> (inaudible)

889
01:22:27,795 --> 01:22:29,756
>> So addressing the Georgia Tech --

890
01:22:29,756 --> 01:22:33,914
(inaudible) I don't think we're at the point where we need

891
01:22:33,914 --> 01:22:34,701
Georgia Tech.

892
01:22:34,701 --> 01:22:39,545
If we need to hold a town hall meeting there --

893
01:22:39,545 --> 01:22:41,485
two town hall meetings --

894
01:22:41,485 --> 01:22:48,685
I think we can do that. $52,000 for them to do something --

895
01:22:52,619 --> 01:22:54,619
>> Mr. Chairman?

896
01:22:56,122 --> 01:22:57,330
>> I see two other questions.

897
01:22:57,330 --> 01:23:00,330
I saw your hand up.

898
01:23:01,823 --> 01:23:02,779
>> Sure.

899
01:23:02,779 --> 01:23:05,867
I think when we look at --

900
01:23:05,867 --> 01:23:08,150
I think we should look at both.

901
01:23:08,150 --> 01:23:10,410
We should decide on tech first before we start

902
01:23:10,410 --> 01:23:11,976
going down the other path.

903
01:23:11,976 --> 01:23:14,760
If we're going to go with tech, that

904
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:16,390
will help guide the other discussions.

905
01:23:16,390 --> 01:23:19,383
If we start trying to write the ordinance now, then

906
01:23:19,383 --> 01:23:21,303
what are we doing with tech?

907
01:23:21,303 --> 01:23:25,310
If we're going with tech, that's the conversation --

908
01:23:25,310 --> 01:23:27,438
are we or are we not going to go with them?

909
01:23:27,438 --> 01:23:28,730
In two parts.

910
01:23:28,730 --> 01:23:33,380
That's helping with policy -- but my question I think would be

911
01:23:33,380 --> 01:23:35,190
what do they do with town halls?

912
01:23:35,190 --> 01:23:37,436
What's the difference between us and a town hall?

913
01:23:37,436 --> 01:23:39,402
What does it look like?

914
01:23:39,402 --> 01:23:43,130
So those are the questions I had around Georgia Tech.

915
01:23:43,130 --> 01:23:46,663
I think that's the direction we should go in because --

916
01:23:46,663 --> 01:23:49,663
for a lot of reasons.

917
01:23:51,100 --> 01:23:53,100
>> Very similar thoughts.

918
01:23:53,234 --> 01:23:57,528
I would not like to look at our own -- right now.

919
01:23:57,528 --> 01:24:00,410
I would like to give Georgia Tech --

920
01:24:00,410 --> 01:24:04,100
provide some of this community engagement.

921
01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:13,695
They looked at several different types of data centers

922
01:24:13,695 --> 01:24:16,300
and several different types of --

923
01:24:16,300 --> 01:24:20,950
they've got policy and staff ready to go.

924
01:24:20,950 --> 01:24:23,350
Their subject matter experts.

925
01:24:24,230 --> 01:24:27,830
So (inaudible) allowing them to run

926
01:24:31,586 --> 01:24:33,730
the lion's share of engagement.

927
01:24:33,730 --> 01:24:37,562
And from that flow the coordinates that --

928
01:24:37,562 --> 01:24:45,362
that we can all weigh in on to get where we feel comfortable.

929
01:24:49,576 --> 01:24:51,576
>> (inaudible)

930
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:08,330
>> I think their scope is -- where LAX is in the technical

931
01:25:08,330 --> 01:25:10,330
expertise.

932
01:25:11,650 --> 01:25:13,650
Expertise -- (inaudible)

933
01:25:41,611 --> 01:25:45,211
>> I think there's some expertise --

934
01:25:48,670 --> 01:25:53,467
(inaudible) I think one of the things that --

935
01:26:08,493 --> 01:26:13,293
(inaudible) we put all this money somewhere --

936
01:26:22,847 --> 01:26:24,930
>> Georgia Tech center for Economic Development --

937
01:26:24,930 --> 01:26:30,330
provides the fiscal and economic -- underlying this engagement.

938
01:26:31,890 --> 01:26:36,690
Property tax structure -- and local planning requirements.

939
01:26:39,730 --> 01:26:46,330
These are economic developers -- (inaudible) but if all we are

940
01:26:47,710 --> 01:26:50,140
going to say is is it good economically,

941
01:26:50,140 --> 01:26:53,140
we're going to have issues.

942
01:26:58,385 --> 01:27:03,785
>> We the question was asked at the last --

943
01:27:13,437 --> 01:27:14,520
>> After your questions --

944
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,240
I did ask were these the only experts that --

945
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:20,866
and they said no, they will bring in other experts.

946
01:27:20,866 --> 01:27:25,607
They let the process define who they bring but if we would like

947
01:27:25,607 --> 01:27:28,694
to request specific experts at the beginning --

948
01:27:28,694 --> 01:27:33,150
so what they like to do is engage the community and council

949
01:27:33,150 --> 01:27:37,110
and discussion, see where that discussion goes and where there

950
01:27:37,110 --> 01:27:42,303
are gaps if you will where they need to help educate or maybe

951
01:27:42,303 --> 01:27:45,420
even go back and research certain topics.

952
01:27:45,420 --> 01:27:47,956
I did say probably from the beginning based on conversations

953
01:27:47,956 --> 01:27:52,230
that we've already experienced, we would need somebody with

954
01:27:52,230 --> 01:27:57,138
expertise in public health, somebody with expertise in noise

955
01:27:57,138 --> 01:28:02,538
and acoustical engineering, and I specifically asked because I

956
01:28:04,350 --> 01:28:07,410
know a lot of what I heard from community members were

957
01:28:07,410 --> 01:28:09,810
the things with the low noise sounds and how those affect

958
01:28:09,810 --> 01:28:10,890
the vibrations --

959
01:28:10,890 --> 01:28:13,786
they would bring those experts in.

960
01:28:13,786 --> 01:28:16,250
The proposal is centered around that development

961
01:28:16,250 --> 01:28:18,370
but they would bring in other experts

962
01:28:18,370 --> 01:28:21,970
depending on how the conversation moves and turns.

963
01:28:21,970 --> 01:28:25,194
They can bring those people in directly at the beginning

964
01:28:25,194 --> 01:28:26,986
if that's the request.

965
01:28:26,986 --> 01:28:30,810
And that doesn't change the scope or the price.

966
01:28:30,810 --> 01:28:33,620
>> I would say if we're going to do this we need to outline this

967
01:28:33,620 --> 01:28:35,890
in the proposal from the beginning so that when we are

968
01:28:35,890 --> 01:28:38,980
approving this proposal that we actually have that --

969
01:28:38,980 --> 01:28:43,170
>> The other thing was when he was putting this proposal

970
01:28:43,170 --> 01:28:47,970
together, they have one contract vehicle per year.

971
01:28:48,130 --> 01:28:50,360
Even when they're producing this --

972
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,394
this is last year's contract vehicle --

973
01:28:52,394 --> 01:28:54,643
and this is last year's pricing --

974
01:28:54,643 --> 01:28:56,260
I just told him I needed something

975
01:28:56,260 --> 01:28:57,983
before that last meeting.

976
01:28:57,983 --> 01:29:02,130
They were definitely willing to go back and give me the actual

977
01:29:02,130 --> 01:29:07,305
pricing which they said likely would be less than the number

978
01:29:07,305 --> 01:29:09,240
of --

979
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,370
(inaudible) from their contract group.

980
01:29:11,370 --> 01:29:16,135
Just to get something to you guys before the deadline --

981
01:29:16,135 --> 01:29:18,964
this is what they gave.

982
01:29:18,964 --> 01:29:20,964
Or provided.

983
01:29:30,570 --> 01:29:33,657
>> Are there any questions from --

984
01:29:35,491 --> 01:29:37,891
>> Comments but not questions.

985
01:29:41,626 --> 01:29:46,426
>> Comments are accepted as well at this point.

986
01:29:53,852 --> 01:29:59,252
>> I think that could be -- independent technical standards

987
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:05,360
-- (inaudible) to go through all the detailed -- (inaudible)

988
01:30:18,394 --> 01:30:20,394
>> Sure.

989
01:30:24,457 --> 01:30:26,790
>> And I can go back to them and say in addition to what

990
01:30:26,790 --> 01:30:32,790
we've already talked about -- the public health concerns --

991
01:30:34,756 --> 01:30:38,100
and if there's other expert fields or fields of expertise

992
01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:45,210
that you like to see somebody come they have those people --

993
01:30:46,392 --> 01:30:48,792
for your suggestion request.

994
01:30:58,720 --> 01:30:59,300
>> Comments, questions?

995
01:30:59,300 --> 01:31:01,244
>> I have a comment.

996
01:31:01,244 --> 01:31:03,900
I can comment now?

997
01:31:03,900 --> 01:31:05,196
I just really think on this issue

998
01:31:05,196 --> 01:31:08,258
if we're going to leave and lean on this issue,

999
01:31:08,258 --> 01:31:10,660
use the best resources out there that we can.

1000
01:31:10,660 --> 01:31:15,856
And I think that a lot of angst out in the community

1001
01:31:15,856 --> 01:31:18,230
on both sides of the aisle and there's

1002
01:31:18,230 --> 01:31:20,946
a lot of lack of understanding of what we're looking at.

1003
01:31:20,946 --> 01:31:22,920
And the better understanding we can

1004
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:25,500
shed light on and the better job we

1005
01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:29,370
do in understanding this issue, we're doing our part.

1006
01:31:29,370 --> 01:31:36,470
All we can do is our part. (inaudible) maybe the comment I

1007
01:31:36,470 --> 01:31:41,270
was going to make is I think --

1008
01:31:41,814 --> 01:31:43,814
(inaudible)

1009
01:32:05,284 --> 01:32:07,570
>> And this did start with their sample ordinances.

1010
01:32:07,570 --> 01:32:09,500
I did pull --

1011
01:32:09,500 --> 01:32:12,115
I can talk to them and tell them what we did

1012
01:32:12,115 --> 01:32:14,650
and tell them that we took your comments

1013
01:32:14,650 --> 01:32:18,210
on the last stipulations you put on the most recent approved data

1014
01:32:18,210 --> 01:32:20,690
center we tried to incorporate these as well

1015
01:32:20,690 --> 01:32:23,204
and see if they want to go that route to.

1016
01:32:23,204 --> 01:32:28,230
But I think they would rather do the meetings and input first --

1017
01:32:28,230 --> 01:32:32,223
and maybe use this after those --

1018
01:32:39,145 --> 01:32:44,545
>> I feel like you're going to say something --

1019
01:32:50,900 --> 01:32:56,900
>> I've said how I feel. (inaudible) They are not all

1020
01:33:05,516 --> 01:33:06,930
the same.

1021
01:33:06,930 --> 01:33:10,429
They are nowhere near all the same.

1022
01:33:10,429 --> 01:33:14,290
(inaudible) I'm not happy with it.

1023
01:33:26,370 --> 01:33:29,970
You do what you want. (inaudible)

1024
01:33:32,783 --> 01:33:35,820
baby I respect what you're saying.

1025
01:33:35,820 --> 01:33:36,970
My question is this.

1026
01:33:36,970 --> 01:33:40,570
What ordinance are you referring to?

1027
01:33:41,170 --> 01:33:47,170
>> (inaudible) this is their kind of draft all put together.

1028
01:33:49,510 --> 01:33:49,634
>> (inaudible)

1029
01:33:49,634 --> 01:33:51,806
>> I went on their pages.

1030
01:33:51,806 --> 01:33:58,350
So I went and I looked on their pages and just a simple thing --

1031
01:33:58,350 --> 01:34:01,530
colocation data center is a server room.

1032
01:34:01,530 --> 01:34:04,530
It is a server room.

1033
01:34:05,556 --> 01:34:07,956
>> I agree with you.

1034
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:09,598
>> They throw it all in there like --

1035
01:34:09,598 --> 01:34:13,192
>> If they look at this like one size fits all, that --

1036
01:34:13,192 --> 01:34:17,992
that's not what we are looking at. (inaudible)

1037
01:34:23,919 --> 01:34:26,260
>> That is like saying a -- at the distillery.

1038
01:34:26,260 --> 01:34:28,260
It isn't.

1039
01:34:28,890 --> 01:34:31,810
>> How we ask them that question?

1040
01:34:31,810 --> 01:34:32,650
>> I can.

1041
01:34:32,650 --> 01:34:34,650
Sure.

1042
01:34:39,850 --> 01:34:42,850
>> I think it's an oversimplification.

1043
01:34:51,925 --> 01:34:53,925
>> (inaudible)

1044
01:35:30,225 --> 01:35:32,267
>> It's a lot like -- what you did when we did --

1045
01:35:32,267 --> 01:35:35,867
when we do breweries, distilleries --

1046
01:35:36,400 --> 01:35:42,900
we literally broke it down by each thing because they are

1047
01:35:42,900 --> 01:35:44,154
similar but actually different.

1048
01:35:44,154 --> 01:35:47,530
And we looked at them each category.

1049
01:35:47,530 --> 01:35:49,930
We can do that.

1050
01:35:51,570 --> 01:35:54,230
>> That's the direction we give them is --

1051
01:35:54,230 --> 01:35:57,940
this what is the scope of work and what we're asking you to do.

1052
01:35:57,940 --> 01:36:00,193
We're asking you to look at all these different types of --

1053
01:36:00,193 --> 01:36:02,690
a big world of data centers and I don't call them all data

1054
01:36:02,690 --> 01:36:03,310
centers.

1055
01:36:03,310 --> 01:36:07,950
Server room, data center -- we want to look at all of it.

1056
01:36:07,950 --> 01:36:10,500
Don't look at everything the same way.

1057
01:36:10,500 --> 01:36:11,504
They're not capable of doing that

1058
01:36:11,504 --> 01:36:13,238
but we need to ask them that question.

1059
01:36:13,238 --> 01:36:14,820
I assume they are.

1060
01:36:14,820 --> 01:36:16,650
They're smart folks.

1061
01:36:16,650 --> 01:36:19,500
They're smarter than me.

1062
01:36:23,596 --> 01:36:25,596
[laughter]

1063
01:36:36,113 --> 01:36:42,940
>> I guess they would be smart enough to draw the line --

1064
01:36:42,940 --> 01:36:48,940
(inaudible) I think one of the things that still --

1065
01:37:10,539 --> 01:37:15,339
(inaudible) is what is the long term --

1066
01:37:19,594 --> 01:37:21,594
(inaudible) >> (inaudible)

1067
01:38:01,809 --> 01:38:05,409
[NO AUDIO] I got a question.

1068
01:38:25,238 --> 01:38:28,598
Have we reached out to anybody else --

1069
01:38:28,598 --> 01:38:31,598
did the city of Marietta?

1070
01:38:31,636 --> 01:38:33,544
>> No one has reached out to me.

1071
01:38:33,544 --> 01:38:36,484
We've had some citizens who have encouraged

1072
01:38:36,484 --> 01:38:41,284
us to attend some events. >> (inaudible) Our best

1073
01:38:50,692 --> 01:38:53,380
are only option right now?

1074
01:38:53,380 --> 01:38:59,657
You don't want to make -- we don't want to go through

1075
01:38:59,657 --> 01:39:06,857
our data center -- we have to have a third party --

1076
01:39:07,988 --> 01:39:12,708
(inaudible) we know more about data centers than we ever

1077
01:39:12,708 --> 01:39:13,532
wanted.

1078
01:39:13,532 --> 01:39:15,232
We are still not experts.

1079
01:39:15,232 --> 01:39:17,712
When we take the science or the environmental side

1080
01:39:17,712 --> 01:39:19,905
and the financial side, Georgia Tech

1081
01:39:19,905 --> 01:39:21,417
is able to put all that together.

1082
01:39:21,417 --> 01:39:25,318
We need somebody -- to the public for us because we

1083
01:39:25,318 --> 01:39:28,840
don't want to say yeah, this is what --

1084
01:39:28,840 --> 01:39:32,232
so I don't know if Georgia Tech is our only option.

1085
01:39:32,232 --> 01:39:37,926
Or if they're the best option. (inaudible) the same concerns

1086
01:39:37,926 --> 01:39:42,740
you have -- the financial side of it --

1087
01:39:42,740 --> 01:39:46,438
is not a concern to me because we know those and we're trying

1088
01:39:46,438 --> 01:39:53,308
to -- but it's more -- need to be able to make sure that

1089
01:39:53,308 --> 01:39:57,212
Georgia Tech can diverge into each one of these cells to bring

1090
01:39:57,212 --> 01:40:03,212
them all together -- we are not an expertise panel.

1091
01:40:11,203 --> 01:40:12,745
>> There are probably other places --

1092
01:40:12,745 --> 01:40:15,580
Georgia Tech is typically more of an independent group

1093
01:40:15,580 --> 01:40:19,452
and I'm sure they are consulting groups out there.

1094
01:40:19,452 --> 01:40:24,252
But it could explain how independent they are.

1095
01:40:25,560 --> 01:40:29,256
I have not looked into this. (inaudible)

1096
01:40:29,545 --> 01:40:34,345
but it is probably more economic development focused.

1097
01:40:34,452 --> 01:40:40,452
So typically a consulting group, if we don't know --

1098
01:40:43,781 --> 01:40:47,400
(inaudible) this is sponsored by the state of Georgia.

1099
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:52,692
I know it's expensive but -- we're not seeing the full cost

1100
01:40:52,692 --> 01:40:53,377
of the study.

1101
01:40:53,377 --> 01:40:56,256
The state is picking up part of the cost.

1102
01:40:56,256 --> 01:40:59,195
But they're asking that we pick up part as well.

1103
01:40:59,195 --> 01:41:02,102
I'm sure UGA is scaled the same way

1104
01:41:02,102 --> 01:41:04,342
and I can certainly reach out to UGA

1105
01:41:04,342 --> 01:41:06,692
and speak to them before Monday.

1106
01:41:06,692 --> 01:41:10,265
If you want me to look at a third party --

1107
01:41:10,265 --> 01:41:15,412
but I would imagine -- it will be hard to determine

1108
01:41:15,412 --> 01:41:19,120
their independent nature. >> (inaudible) and again,

1109
01:41:24,932 --> 01:41:26,932
if everything --

1110
01:41:40,283 --> 01:41:46,216
>> So I think it is -- sounds like Georgia Tech might be it.

1111
01:41:46,216 --> 01:41:50,416
(inaudible) as well as the economic impact.

1112
01:41:53,520 --> 01:42:00,708
>> They did already -- so that is one technical -- like I said,

1113
01:42:00,708 --> 01:42:04,908
they promised -- public health official --

1114
01:42:04,978 --> 01:42:09,377
so some of those other things that are outside of just --

1115
01:42:09,377 --> 01:42:14,777
and I can get them to specify that. (inaudible)

1116
01:42:38,440 --> 01:42:40,650
>> Can I send you my list of questions?

1117
01:42:40,650 --> 01:42:42,650
>> You can.

1118
01:42:42,332 --> 01:42:47,132
>> Before I start up --a questions from anyone?

1119
01:42:53,330 --> 01:43:00,233
>> I come from a -- (inaudible) I don't like the fact --

1120
01:43:02,728 --> 01:43:06,928
(inaudible) looking to supply this particular --

1121
01:43:11,758 --> 01:43:17,758
(inaudible) No matter what of the 45 counties we got all

1122
01:43:32,456 --> 01:43:37,856
excited -- (inaudible) we got in the game quick.

1123
01:43:46,862 --> 01:43:51,345
(inaudible) they're going to have to redo the transmission

1124
01:43:51,345 --> 01:43:53,745
lines. (inaudible) it's coming.

1125
01:44:04,732 --> 01:44:08,417
They pay for the right to have an option.

1126
01:44:08,417 --> 01:44:10,417
They pay $33 million.

1127
01:44:11,100 --> 01:44:17,601
What's going to happen when -- will have to start building

1128
01:44:18,660 --> 01:44:19,868
plants --

1129
01:44:19,868 --> 01:44:25,868
I think this might be the -- (inaudible) took 18 years

1130
01:44:29,172 --> 01:44:31,572
and was twice overbudget.

1131
01:44:33,212 --> 01:44:37,440
That's one reason why I like --

1132
01:44:37,440 --> 01:44:40,644
there's so many unanswered questions. (inaudible)

1133
01:44:50,920 --> 01:44:53,692
are any of them even running?

1134
01:44:54,532 --> 01:44:58,132
I know they are in Virginia.

1135
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:07,200
[inaudible conversation] The way I'm feeling on this collar I

1136
01:45:34,640 --> 01:45:38,264
don't -- (inaudible) >> (inaudible) maybe do one

1137
01:45:47,277 --> 01:45:49,417
and a half gigawatts.

1138
01:45:49,417 --> 01:45:55,417
It will be a sponsored city because they can't allocate

1139
01:45:56,330 --> 01:46:02,633
the power from that machine -- (inaudible) so we would have

1140
01:46:02,994 --> 01:46:04,817
to buy in at.

1141
01:46:04,817 --> 01:46:09,617
Also -- (inaudible) Those people were just bankrupt.

1142
01:46:23,282 --> 01:46:29,282
(inaudible) even though they say they are guaranteeing it --

1143
01:46:29,869 --> 01:46:34,669
(inaudible) with the underlying guarantor to use that

1144
01:46:35,169 --> 01:46:40,569
electricity. (inaudible) They built the buildings but they --

1145
01:46:52,617 --> 01:46:58,617
I just -- 18, I think we made the right choice.

1146
01:47:02,586 --> 01:47:08,586
(inaudible) I think we priced ourselves out of the market.

1147
01:47:12,970 --> 01:47:16,297
They had to put a new equipment.

1148
01:47:18,897 --> 01:47:22,497
There's nobody standing in line (inaudible).

1149
01:47:22,497 --> 01:47:26,450
And if they get down to 50 or 60,

1150
01:47:26,450 --> 01:47:31,445
they probably can't afford -- (inaudible) Rohn is still

1151
01:47:46,305 --> 01:47:48,305
getting calls.

1152
01:47:48,377 --> 01:47:52,329
Especially the small ones that we've been looking at.

1153
01:47:52,329 --> 01:47:56,529
They want to increase in size now.

1154
01:48:18,756 --> 01:48:22,956
(inaudible) Maybe nothing would slow down. (inaudible)

1155
01:48:45,455 --> 01:48:47,455
>> (inaudible)

1156
01:49:14,768 --> 01:49:15,893
>> That's another question.

1157
01:49:15,893 --> 01:49:21,461
If they came to us and we just said we don't --

1158
01:49:21,461 --> 01:49:27,461
they say fine and then -- (inaudible) There are other

1159
01:50:10,977 --> 01:50:12,433
models out there.

1160
01:50:12,433 --> 01:50:18,185
So I'll send you something that I received from Massachusetts

1161
01:50:18,185 --> 01:50:23,449
and that way we can look at all these different models.

1162
01:50:23,449 --> 01:50:28,510
I don't think we're in a place to make a decision today.

1163
01:50:28,510 --> 01:50:32,110
But there are models that work.

1164
01:50:32,769 --> 01:50:38,517
That way you can -- you guys can look at it.

1165
01:50:38,517 --> 01:50:40,917
Just another option. (inaudible)

1166
01:50:47,540 --> 01:50:52,940
>> Okay. >> (inaudible) the moratorium per se is not good

1167
01:50:53,905 --> 01:50:58,705
but the moratorium -- just like you said.

1168
01:50:59,906 --> 01:51:05,306
I'd like the question answer -- (inaudible) Seeing them

1169
01:51:26,597 --> 01:51:31,397
on the ordinance side, (inaudible) some more additional

1170
01:51:31,457 --> 01:51:32,197
stuff.

1171
01:51:32,197 --> 01:51:36,437
On the Georgia Tech proposal, it sounds like they're still

1172
01:51:36,437 --> 01:51:40,370
questions we need answered before --

1173
01:51:42,997 --> 01:51:46,189
if it doesn't include certain things,

1174
01:51:46,189 --> 01:51:49,789
it becomes a question of --.

1175
01:51:50,872 --> 01:51:58,437
Versus if we get more experts or -- as it relates to Marietta,

1176
01:51:58,437 --> 01:52:02,370
more specifically, maybe using collaborations --

1177
01:52:03,528 --> 01:52:07,517
it might save costs on some stuff which --

1178
01:52:07,517 --> 01:52:11,717
and having them help out and --

1179
01:52:15,942 --> 01:52:19,370
>> I think either T or Jason said --

1180
01:52:19,370 --> 01:52:22,437
experts that we feel need to be --

1181
01:52:22,437 --> 01:52:30,570
and have all that put into this -- before we say yes to it.

1182
01:52:30,570 --> 01:52:35,940
>> (inaudible) but to look at who we think needs to go

1183
01:52:35,940 --> 01:52:40,997
in there and make sure -- yes to this agreement.

1184
01:52:40,997 --> 01:52:47,597
It's an agreement that will -- taking in all the environmental

1185
01:52:47,789 --> 01:52:50,789
-- and all those things.

1186
01:52:51,470 --> 01:52:57,470
Add that into this and see if they say --

1187
01:52:57,579 --> 01:53:01,779
>> That's kind of where I'm at. (inaudible)

1188
01:53:10,330 --> 01:53:13,690
>> To be clear, did you say you had confirmed the --

1189
01:53:13,690 --> 01:53:16,690
and electrical engineer health experts?

1190
01:53:18,117 --> 01:53:21,463
>> They said they would include those.

1191
01:53:21,463 --> 01:53:23,463
>> Okay.

1192
01:53:26,567 --> 01:53:30,800
>> And we also as a council want to let him know what we are

1193
01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:39,200
looking for in terms of -- >> So we can just ask the questions --

1194
01:53:40,357 --> 01:53:47,557
looking to see if that is -- (inaudible) and in that case,

1195
01:53:56,557 --> 01:53:59,203
(inaudible) we've heard some of the things --

1196
01:53:59,203 --> 01:54:02,397
is there anything else you want to ask?

1197
01:54:02,397 --> 01:54:08,397
In terms of what we might be looking for? >> (inaudible)

1198
01:54:14,250 --> 01:54:16,250
>> Yes sir.

1199
01:54:17,223 --> 01:54:22,623
>> I think it would be good if -- (inaudible).

1200
01:54:27,517 --> 01:54:34,117
Just take -- if someone said we got the perfect spot,

1201
01:54:34,799 --> 01:54:37,799
all we need is --

1202
01:54:39,757 --> 01:54:45,157
I think we have to be as cautious (inaudible)

1203
01:54:48,370 --> 01:54:54,677
we are the owners and we just say -- let them help us.

1204
01:54:54,677 --> 01:55:02,477
They do a lot of research -- (inaudible) A lot of clients ask

1205
01:55:15,370 --> 01:55:19,570
for non-disclosure agreements. (inaudible) Which is everybody

1206
01:55:42,589 --> 01:55:44,989
but one now. (inaudible)

1207
01:55:58,199 --> 01:56:00,199
[inaudible conversation]

1208
01:56:07,917 --> 01:56:11,533
At this time are there any other directions or instructions --

1209
01:56:11,533 --> 01:56:16,933
or is this something that needs to be --?

1210
01:56:18,272 --> 01:56:23,720
(inaudible) I'm not hearing any opposition to that.

1211
01:56:37,937 --> 01:56:43,000
This will remain on the agenda for next month.

1212
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:46,370
The item will be on the agenda next month.

1213
01:56:46,370 --> 01:56:49,637
If you have any questions (inaudible),

1214
01:56:52,487 --> 01:56:53,981
probably get together with Ronny.

1215
01:56:53,981 --> 01:56:56,981
Does that make sense? >> (inaudible)

1216
01:57:06,637 --> 01:57:09,210
probably better to have a motion.

1217
01:57:09,210 --> 01:57:14,421
Entertain a motion to move this to the next >>

1218
01:57:17,603 --> 01:57:21,124
For clarification, just the Georgia Tech proposal?

1219
01:57:21,124 --> 01:57:23,124
(inaudible)

1220
01:57:24,775 --> 01:57:28,157
>> Bring back everything. (inaudible) just keep us

1221
01:57:28,157 --> 01:57:30,997
Apprized of the ordinance stuff because --

1222
01:57:30,997 --> 01:57:33,997
send you something as well.

1223
01:57:37,237 --> 01:57:41,937
So just forwarding this to the September Committee,

1224
01:57:41,937 --> 01:57:48,537
and all those in favor -- is there any further business?

1225
01:57:51,677 --> 01:57:55,237
Hearing none come that meeting is adjourned to.

1226
01:57:55,237 --> 01:57:58,577
>> I call to order the Economic Development Committee.

1227
01:57:58,577 --> 01:58:03,977
First order of business is to approve the minutes.

1228
01:58:06,757 --> 01:58:08,197
>> Approve.

1229
01:58:08,197 --> 01:58:09,277
>> Second.

1230
01:58:09,277 --> 01:58:11,277
>> All in favor?

1231
01:58:11,597 --> 01:58:13,597
Motion passes 3-0.

1232
01:58:16,477 --> 01:58:17,877
>> Kelsey, how are you?

1233
01:58:17,877 --> 01:58:18,405
Doing well.

1234
01:58:18,405 --> 01:58:25,500
Our next order of business is the fiscal year 25 CDBG CAPER.

1235
01:58:29,917 --> 01:58:32,853
>> This is our end of year program report for program year

1236
01:58:32,853 --> 01:58:36,265
2025 and it's currently out for public comment until September

1237
01:58:36,265 --> 01:58:36,765
11th.

1238
01:58:36,765 --> 01:58:41,717
We have a public review meeting scheduled for 11:00 on Tuesday

1239
01:58:41,717 --> 01:58:43,170
September 8th.

1240
01:58:43,170 --> 01:58:45,322
This doesn't require a vote to.

1241
01:58:45,322 --> 01:58:46,817
It's just a presentation.

1242
01:58:46,817 --> 01:58:51,605
Just a brief overview of our funding from last year.

1243
01:58:51,605 --> 01:58:57,605
We received over $417,000 in our yearly allocation and then we

1244
01:58:57,637 --> 01:58:59,965
had some rollover from prior year's.

1245
01:58:59,965 --> 01:59:06,610
We had about $583,000 to work with and we spent a little over

1246
01:59:06,610 --> 01:59:07,530
$468,000.

1247
01:59:07,530 --> 01:59:13,221
15% of our budget is capped for public services which is roughly

1248
01:59:13,221 --> 01:59:13,885
$60,000.

1249
01:59:13,885 --> 01:59:17,606
And we had six recipients that expended that.

1250
01:59:17,606 --> 01:59:19,907
All of this money has to be spent

1251
01:59:19,907 --> 01:59:23,645
on city of Marietta residents that are low to moderate income.

1252
01:59:23,645 --> 01:59:27,861
These are the six recipients we had and their outcomes.

1253
01:59:27,861 --> 01:59:30,627
So the center for Family Resources

1254
01:59:30,627 --> 01:59:33,237
served six households which had 15 individuals

1255
01:59:33,237 --> 01:59:35,967
and they provided emergency rental assistance

1256
01:59:35,967 --> 01:59:38,453
so everyone they provide assistance for

1257
01:59:38,453 --> 01:59:41,263
is received an eviction notice and is

1258
01:59:41,263 --> 01:59:44,920
on the cusp of becoming homeless and they provide assistance

1259
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:49,492
to prevent that. (inaudible) for children and their parents

1260
01:59:53,797 --> 01:59:57,837
and they provide services to abused and neglected children.

1261
01:59:57,837 --> 02:00:01,437
(inaudible) 14 individuals through their Glad program

1262
02:00:01,677 --> 02:00:04,357
which provides domestic violence counseling.

1263
02:00:04,357 --> 02:00:08,863
An extension serves 62 homeless women through their residential

1264
02:00:08,863 --> 02:00:14,263
substance abuse program and -- through their after school

1265
02:00:14,785 --> 02:00:15,469
program.

1266
02:00:15,469 --> 02:00:19,357
All of that done just with a $60,000,

1267
02:00:19,357 --> 02:00:21,510
which we always like to talk about.

1268
02:00:21,510 --> 02:00:27,341
We had a little over $97,000 left over from prior years that

1269
02:00:27,341 --> 02:00:30,127
we had allocated for public facilities and improvements

1270
02:00:30,127 --> 02:00:33,683
and we finally got to spend that.

1271
02:00:33,683 --> 02:00:36,917
CDBG money paid for the installation and equipment

1272
02:00:36,917 --> 02:00:38,557
of the playground.

1273
02:00:38,557 --> 02:00:41,437
We're really proud that that funding got in.

1274
02:00:41,437 --> 02:00:46,663
And got some money that we've been holding for a few years.

1275
02:00:46,663 --> 02:00:50,607
For housing rehabilitation and this is our largest program.

1276
02:00:50,607 --> 02:00:54,807
We expended a little over $228,000 serving 12 households

1277
02:00:56,703 --> 02:01:00,810
and then we had three households that we spent money on that were

1278
02:01:00,810 --> 02:01:01,805
not yet complete.

1279
02:01:01,805 --> 02:01:07,757
All in all that was a little over $151,000 of grants provided

1280
02:01:07,757 --> 02:01:10,177
to mostly senior citizen households.

1281
02:01:10,177 --> 02:01:14,373
All but two of our households served last year or 62 or older.

1282
02:01:14,373 --> 02:01:19,773
The average income of those 12 households was right at $24,000.

1283
02:01:21,757 --> 02:01:25,957
>> Can you tell me the acronym --

1284
02:01:27,217 --> 02:01:28,777
>> ELD is elderly and disabled.

1285
02:01:28,777 --> 02:01:34,461
We do grants up to $50,000 for households that are extremely

1286
02:01:34,461 --> 02:01:37,461
low income and elderly or disabled.

1287
02:01:37,461 --> 02:01:42,337
These are people on the very bottom of that income range.

1288
02:01:42,337 --> 02:01:45,337
LBP is lead based paint.

1289
02:01:45,423 --> 02:01:47,570
We have to test any house built before 1978

1290
02:01:47,570 --> 02:01:49,188
for lead based paint.

1291
02:01:49,188 --> 02:01:51,577
If it tests hot we have to abate that.

1292
02:01:51,577 --> 02:01:55,463
We did one lead based paint project last year and five

1293
02:01:55,463 --> 02:01:57,463
emergency projects.

1294
02:02:03,244 --> 02:02:03,744
>> Sure.

1295
02:02:03,744 --> 02:02:06,161
Most of the time they include some sort of plumbing issue.

1296
02:02:06,161 --> 02:02:10,581
We actually got one a few weeks ago from Marietta Water.

1297
02:02:10,581 --> 02:02:14,877
Somebody had a $5,000 water bill and they called us and said

1298
02:02:14,877 --> 02:02:16,282
clearly he has a leak.

1299
02:02:16,282 --> 02:02:17,425
It's on his side.

1300
02:02:17,425 --> 02:02:18,357
Can we help?

1301
02:02:18,357 --> 02:02:21,880
We were able to go in within a week

1302
02:02:21,880 --> 02:02:23,297
and fix that and get him back on track.

1303
02:02:23,297 --> 02:02:26,485
Some of the others are if an elderly person

1304
02:02:26,485 --> 02:02:29,657
doesn't have heat or air conditioning comet

1305
02:02:29,657 --> 02:02:32,770
we consider that an emergency.

1306
02:02:32,770 --> 02:02:33,928
What we usually do is we bump them

1307
02:02:33,928 --> 02:02:36,845
to the top of the list for that and then most of the time

1308
02:02:36,845 --> 02:02:39,197
they have other issues and we put them back on the list

1309
02:02:39,197 --> 02:02:45,797
and when we get to their order we complete the rest.

1310
02:02:45,871 --> 02:02:47,871
>> (inaudible)

1311
02:02:51,195 --> 02:02:52,700
>> No, not currently.

1312
02:02:52,700 --> 02:02:54,623
They've never submitted an application for funding.

1313
02:02:54,623 --> 02:03:00,307
This is just a map of where the projects we completed last year

1314
02:03:00,307 --> 02:03:01,437
fall.

1315
02:03:01,437 --> 02:03:04,605
Funny enough, we tend to do things in clusters.

1316
02:03:04,605 --> 02:03:08,570
Will not serve an area for years and then we'll do three --

1317
02:03:08,570 --> 02:03:09,945
Roosevelt Circle is one of those.

1318
02:03:09,945 --> 02:03:12,117
We hadn't done a project in quite a few years

1319
02:03:12,117 --> 02:03:16,180
and then we did three their right almost beside each other.

1320
02:03:16,180 --> 02:03:19,780
And we typically have a concentration

1321
02:03:19,937 --> 02:03:27,137
in the Booth road area or the Tower Ridge area as well.

1322
02:03:28,637 --> 02:03:31,637
And here are some pictures.

1323
02:03:31,961 --> 02:03:33,461
Because we did a lot of emergencies,

1324
02:03:33,461 --> 02:03:37,770
we didn't have as many fancy things to show.

1325
02:03:37,770 --> 02:03:40,703
And with a declining budget, we pretty much tried to stick

1326
02:03:40,703 --> 02:03:47,303
to that $15,000 maximum because the money you can spend on more

1327
02:03:47,493 --> 02:03:50,237
projects than just doing one large project.

1328
02:03:50,237 --> 02:03:52,237
Another one.

1329
02:04:00,997 --> 02:04:03,397
And that is all.

1330
02:04:03,941 --> 02:04:04,941
Any questions?

1331
02:04:04,941 --> 02:04:06,263
We don't have to vote.

1332
02:04:06,263 --> 02:04:09,549
We just have to present it and there's still public comment

1333
02:04:09,549 --> 02:04:12,863
for the public to submit any comments or questions until

1334
02:04:12,863 --> 02:04:18,263
September 11th. >> (inaudible) Them it just has to be

1335
02:04:24,651 --> 02:04:25,151
presented.

1336
02:04:25,151 --> 02:04:27,120
That's what's in our plan.

1337
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:31,565
No official motion or anything has to be taken.

1338
02:04:31,565 --> 02:04:32,153
>> Thank you.

1339
02:04:32,153 --> 02:04:34,553
You're doing good work.

1340
02:04:35,245 --> 02:04:37,925
>> You all have been very supportive and we always

1341
02:04:37,925 --> 02:04:39,925
appreciate it. >>

1342
02:04:45,185 --> 02:04:46,143
>> Any other questions?

1343
02:04:46,143 --> 02:04:48,143
All right.

1344
02:04:48,845 --> 02:04:54,245
With that said, we will adjourn the Economic Development

1345
02:04:56,471 --> 02:04:58,471
Committee meeting.

1346
02:04:58,965 --> 02:05:02,311
Call the Public Works Committee meeting for order.

1347
02:05:02,311 --> 02:05:05,850
First is meeting minutes from July 28th.

1348
02:05:05,850 --> 02:05:07,850
Motion and second.

1349
02:05:07,645 --> 02:05:09,651
All those in favor?

1350
02:05:09,651 --> 02:05:11,651
Passes 3 to 0.

1351
02:05:13,325 --> 02:05:18,125
Let's take the next three items in sequence. >>

1352
02:05:21,293 --> 02:05:22,251
Thank you Mr. Chairman.

1353
02:05:22,251 --> 02:05:28,251
2016 SPLOST -- I think you received the email from Rachel

1354
02:05:30,700 --> 02:05:33,501
announcing the ribbon cutting for September the 18th,

1355
02:05:33,501 --> 02:05:34,765
10:30 a.m.

1356
02:05:34,765 --> 02:05:36,769
Over at Aviation Park.

1357
02:05:36,769 --> 02:05:41,405
I'll try to get you a calendar invite out so you have --

1358
02:05:41,405 --> 02:05:43,261
but I hope to see all of you there.

1359
02:05:43,261 --> 02:05:48,610
We finally get it rescheduled and hopefully --

1360
02:05:49,251 --> 02:05:51,618
(inaudible) out in the sun too much.

1361
02:05:51,618 --> 02:05:54,885
We will have a ribbon cutting at that time.

1362
02:05:54,885 --> 02:05:56,633
That's all I have on 2016.

1363
02:05:56,633 --> 02:05:59,633
Do you have any questions?

1364
02:05:59,765 --> 02:06:01,185
No?

1365
02:06:01,185 --> 02:06:02,605
Okay.

1366
02:06:02,605 --> 02:06:04,605
2022, a few updates.

1367
02:06:08,545 --> 02:06:11,653
We are continuing to move forward with the intersection

1368
02:06:11,653 --> 02:06:12,195
improvements.

1369
02:06:12,195 --> 02:06:16,181
That project is being prepared to go out to bid.

1370
02:06:16,181 --> 02:06:21,405
Now we're finishing up the right of way acquisition.

1371
02:06:21,405 --> 02:06:23,245
Franklin gateway Ridge replacement --

1372
02:06:23,245 --> 02:06:26,471
we're waiting the contract now with the contractor.

1373
02:06:26,471 --> 02:06:31,656
So we can get that finalized and the start date on that one.

1374
02:06:31,656 --> 02:06:35,145
Same thing on New Polk Road and Wiley Road.

1375
02:06:35,145 --> 02:06:39,500
We're waiting for the contract to be signed.

1376
02:06:39,500 --> 02:06:42,605
We have had for crossing projects

1377
02:06:42,945 --> 02:06:45,977
finished in the last few days.

1378
02:06:45,977 --> 02:06:51,153
So Chestnut Hill Road, that crossing has been finished.

1379
02:06:51,153 --> 02:06:56,685
We've got a couple touch ups. I drove by today.

1380
02:06:56,685 --> 02:07:01,151
The contractor has finished up primarily on that one.

1381
02:07:01,151 --> 02:07:03,445
So that one is done.

1382
02:07:03,445 --> 02:07:08,845
Victory in the park was another one that --

1383
02:07:09,605 --> 02:07:14,405
(inaudible) so that one is done as well.

1384
02:07:14,645 --> 02:07:17,645
We already had mid-block crossings.

1385
02:07:17,661 --> 02:07:23,735
We just added our FBS, a little safer for traffic purposes.

1386
02:07:23,735 --> 02:07:25,933
So Cherokee and Dobbs --

1387
02:07:25,933 --> 02:07:29,533
First Baptist Church. (inaudible) plus you.

1388
02:07:30,845 --> 02:07:35,385
So we've got all of the signs and everything --

1389
02:07:35,385 --> 02:07:38,385
and they're now complete. (inaudible)

1390
02:07:43,105 --> 02:07:44,605
>> Again, which was already there --

1391
02:07:44,605 --> 02:07:50,935
instead of having a static sign -- electronic signs to help --

1392
02:07:50,935 --> 02:07:54,450
so all I have on the 2022 list --

1393
02:07:54,450 --> 02:08:00,450
I won't ask any questions. >> (inaudible) any estimate on when

1394
02:08:03,491 --> 02:08:05,125
that might be moving on?

1395
02:08:05,125 --> 02:08:07,725
I mean we are a little closer.

1396
02:08:07,725 --> 02:08:11,325
I've reviewed the first plan. (inaudible)

1397
02:08:21,115 --> 02:08:25,261
>> The performance report -- you have that in front of you.

1398
02:08:25,261 --> 02:08:29,461
Nothing out of the ordinary. (inaudible) inspection

1399
02:08:32,938 --> 02:08:38,338
or sanitation -- everything seems to be going steady.

1400
02:08:38,581 --> 02:08:43,405
A couple of other announcements as far as the department goes.

1401
02:08:43,405 --> 02:08:47,514

02:08:47,514 --> 02:08:48,665

02:08:48,665 --> 02:08:52,776
He's in our engineering division and we went a little

1405
02:08:55,116 --> 02:08:57,360
He'll be on the second floor.

1407
02:08:58,345 --> 02:09:01,388
If you have the opportunity we appreciate you coming by

1408
02:09:01,388 --> 02:09:02,911
and saying goodbye to him.

1409
02:09:02,911 --> 02:09:06,501
Did he decided to hang it up and move on.

1410
02:09:06,501 --> 02:09:08,111
He's been our stormwater inspector

1411
02:09:08,111 --> 02:09:11,840
for the last several years.

1412
02:09:11,840 --> 02:09:14,400
He is moving on now.

1413
02:09:14,400 --> 02:09:17,684
And then the Board of Zoning Appeals --

1414
02:09:17,684 --> 02:09:21,450

1416
02:09:21,673 --> 02:09:24,620
A couple of you I've been in contact with.

1417

But also all the rest of you, all the other regular

appointments are set to expire December 31st.

1420
02:09:36,681 --> 02:09:40,511
So you all need to look at your current appointments

1421
02:09:40,511 --> 02:09:43,151
and decide what you want to do with those.

1422
02:09:43,151 --> 02:09:47,618
We need all of that taken care of.

1423
02:09:47,618 --> 02:09:51,187
We don't have anything on the agenda but --

1424
02:09:51,187 --> 02:09:54,725

For the Fire Marshal's office.

1432
02:10:26,525 --> 02:10:30,740
We preferred if people have some sort of construction experience.

1433
02:10:30,740 --> 02:10:36,145
It's not required but -- if you can find somebody,

1434
02:10:36,145 --> 02:10:40,345
that makes it go a little easier.

1435
02:10:44,123 --> 02:10:46,261
>> For the Construction Board of Appeals --

1436
02:10:46,261 --> 02:10:52,861

>> I think that's the second.

1465
02:21:06,273 --> 02:21:10,658

>> Can I offer a suggestion on this one?

1476
02:22:16,408 --> 02:22:20,679
(inaudible) ask our attorney to take a look through that and see

if it matches -- if it doesn't match then --

02:22:23,853 --> 02:22:27,273
to get the correct language in there.

1479
02:22:27,273 --> 02:22:31,900
Maybe we have a motion and second.
