1
00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:02,033
every you need it.

2
00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:05,300
just beat me up.

3
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:20,933
how you doing?

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,833
How are you?

5
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:23,233
are you?

6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:26,800
[laughter]

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,133
That's good.

8
00:00:33,300 --> 00:00:34,633
stay tuned.

9
00:00:36,300 --> 00:00:37,133
[thud]

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,083
I call the meeting for the City

11
00:00:39,150 --> 00:00:41,283
of Richmond Hill City Council

12
00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:44,300
meeting for July 7th, 2026 to order.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,283
We will begin with an invocation by
Andrew McClure

14
00:00:47,350 --> 00:00:49,783
of Community Bible Church.

15
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:53,700
And then we'll have the Pledge of
Allegiance by Council member Bose.

16
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,633
Thank you for being here.

17
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:57,300
Thank you, Mayor Collins.

18
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,600
Well, I want to invite all of us to
go to the Lord in prayer.

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,083
Heavenly Father, we thank you for

20
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:07,283
who you are, that you are loving,

21
00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:09,783
you're good, that you're gracious.

22
00:01:09,850 --> 00:01:12,283
And from your love, you've created
each one of us here.

23
00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:15,283
You've given us the lives that we
live, you've given us the breath

24
00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:18,283
that we breathe, and we want to be
good and faithful stewards

25
00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:21,233
of these lives that you've given us.

26
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,233
We can't do that apart from you.

27
00:01:23,300 --> 00:01:27,083
We confess that apart from you, we're
prone to selfishness, to our sin.

28
00:01:27,150 --> 00:01:30,083
We don't naturally love what is good
or walk in your ways, but we give

29
00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:33,233
you praise that we are not left to
ourselves.

30
00:01:33,300 --> 00:01:36,283
You sent your son, Jesus, to live the
perfect life that we could

31
00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:39,283
never live, to die the death that we
deserve to die,

32
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:41,233
to forgive us of our sins.

33
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:43,083
To give us new hearts.

34
00:01:43,150 --> 00:01:46,083
Hearts that are bent towards you,
hearts that live in alignment

35
00:01:46,150 --> 00:01:49,083
with your will and your ways, and we
give you all the praise and

36
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:51,600
all the honor for this.

37
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,783
Because we gather here this evening,
we specifically pray for your love

38
00:01:54,850 --> 00:01:57,283
and for your wisdom to be granted to
these civil leaders, to our mayor,

39
00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:59,233
to our city council.

40
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:02,283
Grant them the wisdom to make good
decisions, the courage to do what

41
00:02:02,350 --> 00:02:05,083
is right even when it's difficult,
the humility to listen well,

42
00:02:05,150 --> 00:02:08,083
the integrity in every decision and
genuine love for those that

43
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:10,233
they serve.

44
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:13,283
Remind them this evening that every
earthly authority is ultimately

45
00:02:13,350 --> 00:02:16,283
entrusted by you, and therefore
empower them to steward that

46
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:19,300
authority for your glory.

47
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,783
We ask, Lord, that you continue to
let the City of Richmond Hill

48
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:25,700
flourish under their faithful
service.

49
00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,783
Finally, Lord, we pray for this
specific meeting this evening.

50
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:31,783
Give the citizens and attendance
clarity of mind, the ability

51
00:02:31,850 --> 00:02:34,783
to communicate clearly and in love
and in humility and give our

52
00:02:34,850 --> 00:02:37,783
leaders guidance as they deliberate
and determine the various agenda

53
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:39,783
items.

54
00:02:39,850 --> 00:02:42,983
And we pray all of this in the name
of Jesus Christ our Lord.

55
00:02:43,050 --> 00:02:44,383
Amen.

56
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,233
Please stand for the Pledge of
Allegiance.

57
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,133
[chair scrapes]

58
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:48,283
Please stand at attention.

59
00:02:48,350 --> 00:02:49,283
[chair scrapes]

60
00:02:49,350 --> 00:02:51,983
I pledge allegiance to the flag.

61
00:02:52,050 --> 00:02:55,183
to the flag of the United States of
America.

62
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:58,283
and to the Republic for which it
stands,

63
00:02:58,350 --> 00:03:01,283
one nation under God, indivisible,

64
00:03:01,350 --> 00:03:04,400
with liberty and justice for all.

65
00:03:04,467 --> 00:03:05,300
You may be seated.

66
00:03:05,367 --> 00:03:06,800
[chair scrapes]

67
00:03:07,267 --> 00:03:08,100
Thank you.

68
00:03:08,167 --> 00:03:09,500
That work?

69
00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:15,300
Right, now we have the approval of
the agenda. Is there a motion?

70
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,600
I'll make a motion we approve the
agenda.

71
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,083
Thank you. Is there a second?

72
00:03:19,150 --> 00:03:20,233
I can second.

73
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:22,300
All in favor?

74
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,133
So carried.

75
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:27,783
Do want to remind everybody about
public comment.

76
00:03:27,850 --> 00:03:30,800
It is limited to items that are on
the agenda.

77
00:03:31,300 --> 00:03:34,783
So when I get to a certain topic,

78
00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:37,983
if you have something that you would
like to say, please let us know.

79
00:03:38,050 --> 00:03:40,783
I don't know if anyone else that no
one else has actually filled

80
00:03:40,850 --> 00:03:43,083
out the form, so, right, Linda?

81
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:43,983
Okay.

82
00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:48,783
Okay, so I'm assuming nobody really
wants to have any input.

83
00:03:49,333 --> 00:03:52,783
But we will move on to our consent
agenda.

84
00:03:54,483 --> 00:03:57,466
You'll see there acceptance of bonds
on there and the personnel

85
00:03:57,533 --> 00:04:00,883
with the skill bridge training
apprentice program.

86
00:04:00,983 --> 00:04:02,483
Is there a motion?

87
00:04:02,983 --> 00:04:04,416
I'll make a motion.

88
00:04:04,483 --> 00:04:05,466
I can second.

89
00:04:05,533 --> 00:04:07,483
To approve.

90
00:04:08,483 --> 00:04:11,783
We have a second. Is there any
discussion or any questions?

91
00:04:13,983 --> 00:04:15,483
Okay, all in favor?

92
00:04:15,983 --> 00:04:17,316
So carried.

93
00:04:18,983 --> 00:04:21,983
Now we move on to planning and
zoning, Mr. Crooks.

94
00:04:23,483 --> 00:04:32,416
[paper rustles]

95
00:04:32,483 --> 00:04:35,466
Good evening, Mayor and Council. We
have a few items on the agenda

96
00:04:35,533 --> 00:04:37,966
under planning and zoning.

97
00:04:38,033 --> 00:04:41,466
The first one tonight is the May 2026
permit totals and the June

98
00:04:41,533 --> 00:04:44,366
port summaries.

99
00:04:44,433 --> 00:04:47,983
Those are in your packet for any
information.

100
00:04:48,983 --> 00:04:52,483
Any questions or comments?

101
00:04:54,483 --> 00:04:55,416
Questions?

102
00:04:55,483 --> 00:04:56,816
Okay.

103
00:04:57,483 --> 00:04:58,416
All right.

104
00:04:58,483 --> 00:04:59,816
So the next item...

105
00:05:06,290 --> 00:05:09,553
the annextion of 86.445 acres,

106
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:14,403
a portion of pin 061055 by Court
Investment Company on behalf

107
00:05:14,470 --> 00:05:18,873
of Savannah Health Sciences LLC,
doing business as Royal Health.

108
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:20,573
This is an item for action.

109
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,383
Uh, we had a couple different points
of conversation on this

110
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:26,753
over the last several months.

111
00:05:26,820 --> 00:05:29,623
Uh, last week kind of spoke on this

112
00:05:29,690 --> 00:05:34,143
was there was some information and
some action with the county that they

113
00:05:34,210 --> 00:05:39,883
were handling between the annexing
party

114
00:05:39,950 --> 00:05:42,533
as well as us.

115
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,313
So ultimately what kind of happened
with that was that was worked out

116
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:49,303
between the county as well as the
applicant themselves

117
00:05:49,370 --> 00:05:51,013
without involvement with us.

118
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,113
So county has not moved forward with
any other objection,

119
00:05:54,180 --> 00:05:56,193
they tabled that item, so

120
00:05:56,260 --> 00:05:59,463
in terms of this, council would be
able to move forward

121
00:05:59,530 --> 00:06:03,380
with the approval of such issues.

122
00:06:04,450 --> 00:06:07,320
Any questions on the annextion?

123
00:06:10,290 --> 00:06:12,440
Hearing none, is there a motion?

124
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,120
I'll make a motion that we approve
the annextion request.

125
00:06:18,380 --> 00:06:19,950
Is there a second? Second.

126
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,570
Any discussion at all?

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,420
Okay. All in favor?

128
00:06:28,190 --> 00:06:29,970
And all opposed?

129
00:06:32,030 --> 00:06:35,793
Just for clarification, you two were
later, but everybody was in
agreement.

130
00:06:35,860 --> 00:06:37,123
Okay.

131
00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:38,940
All right. So that passes.

132
00:06:40,030 --> 00:06:44,183
Okay. So the next item is an item for
second reading and action.

133
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:49,393
That is a rezoning of portion of
parcel number 061055,

134
00:06:49,460 --> 00:06:51,263
referred to as part pod,

135
00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:53,103
excuse me, Port Royal Pod 4.

136
00:06:53,170 --> 00:06:56,973
So this is an item specifically
related to the

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,263
previous item for the annextion.

138
00:06:59,330 --> 00:07:05,593
This would be the zoning item to then
zone that within the city.

139
00:07:05,660 --> 00:07:10,103
They are, the applicant has
specifically requested a PUD for
this.

140
00:07:10,170 --> 00:07:13,143
We've had a couple different
conversations, couple different

141
00:07:13,210 --> 00:07:14,493
meetings on this as well.

142
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,383
The PUD document is in your packet.

143
00:07:18,450 --> 00:07:24,883
Uh, essentially serving as an
extension of the existing PUD, uh,

144
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:29,403
in terms of what those standards are,
what they would allow for basically

145
00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:32,393
a mirror image of the kind of
remaining portion

146
00:07:32,460 --> 00:07:35,650
that is there on Port Royal.

147
00:07:36,170 --> 00:07:38,880
Any questions, feedback for me?

148
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,750
Hearing none, is there a motion?

149
00:07:49,980 --> 00:07:52,470
I'll make a motion we approve the
rezoning.

150
00:07:53,100 --> 00:07:54,990
Is there a second? Second.

151
00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:57,540
Any discussion at all?

152
00:07:58,460 --> 00:07:59,840
All in favor?

153
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:04,890
All opposed?

154
00:08:07,150 --> 00:08:09,143
Okay, well then this comes down to a
tie-breaker.

155
00:08:09,210 --> 00:08:13,770
So I am going to vote to approve.

156
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:22,733
So the next item, Madam Mayor, is an
ordinance to amend Appendix A,

157
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,463
Unified Development Ordinance of the
City of Richmond Hill Code of
Ordinances.

158
00:08:25,530 --> 00:08:29,383
This is an item for public hearing as
well as first reading.

159
00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:34,143
So Amanda presented this at the last
workshop. We have had a couple of

160
00:08:34,210 --> 00:08:37,073
conversations on this

161
00:08:37,140 --> 00:08:40,373
a little bit more broadly at a few of
the different workshops.

162
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,183
had a memo with some of the bigger
items that we were potentially
looking

163
00:08:44,250 --> 00:08:49,163
at making some recommendations on
some of those different sections.

164
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:53,343
Several of those have been
incorporated here and one thing you
will notice is

165
00:08:53,410 --> 00:08:56,973
some of the items that we have been
discussing have been left out

166
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,163
from those recommendations,

167
00:08:59,230 --> 00:09:02,293
so that way we get a little bit more
discussion and feedback.

168
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,523
Most of those were items that would
fall under Article 12,

169
00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:07,323
those are some of the things

170
00:09:07,390 --> 00:09:10,573
that we've talked about related to
parking, uh, animals,

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,373
things along those lines.

172
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,953
Um, otherwise everything is in the
packet in terms of what those

173
00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:19,153
redline revisions are.

174
00:09:19,220 --> 00:09:22,483
I have not received any questions or
comments from Council

175
00:09:22,550 --> 00:09:26,263
from the last workshop.

176
00:09:26,330 --> 00:09:30,713
I will note that between the workshop
and today, we did get some final

177
00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:35,213
feedback that we were looking at for
some of the items for Article 13,

178
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,533
and that was specific to the
requirements for uh, multifamily

179
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,543
in the commercial districts.

180
00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:46,483
So what those use requirements would
look like, we finally got that
feedback

181
00:09:46,550 --> 00:09:49,493
from some of the folks that we had
reached out to on that,

182
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:54,913
and had some conversations with them,
made some, some tweaks based on that.

183
00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:57,593
And have something that we think is a
little bit better

184
00:09:57,660 --> 00:09:58,753
than what we originally proposed.

185
00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:00,640
So between what you

186
00:10:00,707 --> 00:10:06,920
all at the workshop and what you have
now before you central to the same
otherwise

187
00:10:06,987 --> 00:10:08,320
that one provision for Article 13.

188
00:10:09,187 --> 00:10:12,787
that any questions before we open the
public hearing?

189
00:10:14,627 --> 00:10:15,960
Any questions?

190
00:10:16,417 --> 00:10:17,750
Okay.

191
00:10:17,927 --> 00:10:19,960
turn it over to you for the public
care.

192
00:10:20,027 --> 00:10:22,620
We will open the public hearing now.
This is an opportunity

193
00:10:22,687 --> 00:10:29,687
for people to give their input if
they are in support of or not.

194
00:10:29,917 --> 00:10:32,270
to this UDO revision,

195
00:10:32,337 --> 00:10:36,447
are there any persons that would like
to give input?

196
00:10:39,107 --> 00:10:40,497
See no hands.

197
00:10:41,577 --> 00:10:42,910
Mr. Clark.

198
00:10:45,687 --> 00:10:49,057
any other questions from the?

199
00:10:52,477 --> 00:10:55,607
Otherwise this is an item for first
reading.

200
00:10:57,527 --> 00:11:00,170
Mayor Council, if y'all have any
other questions in between now

201
00:11:00,237 --> 00:11:02,860
and the next meeting for second
reading, feel free to reach out.

202
00:11:02,927 --> 00:11:05,220
I'll be happy to meet with you,
Mayor, either one.

203
00:11:05,287 --> 00:11:07,757
because we're available. Thank you.

204
00:11:07,957 --> 00:11:10,890
I will reiterate that, y'all please,
there are a lot of red marks
throughout

205
00:11:10,957 --> 00:11:13,477
this and it's a lot of pages.

206
00:11:13,787 --> 00:11:17,937
So please make sure you're prepared
at the next meeting for that.

207
00:11:18,667 --> 00:11:20,000
Thank you, Mayor.

208
00:11:23,537 --> 00:11:25,587
Next up, we have new business.

209
00:11:27,037 --> 00:11:28,370
Mr. Clark.

210
00:11:39,617 --> 00:11:40,950
Good evening.

211
00:11:41,017 --> 00:11:47,567
The item in front of you regarding
Elpass Keller water tank.

212
00:11:47,677 --> 00:11:54,677
The extension from our GFA loan,
construction delays pushed us outside
the original completion date.

213
00:11:54,817 --> 00:11:57,057
we've extended that through GFA.

214
00:11:57,147 --> 00:12:00,737
You'll see in your packet that it's
to October of 2026.

215
00:12:01,027 --> 00:12:07,800
However, the tank itself is in the
process of being finished within the
next month to six weeks.

216
00:12:07,867 --> 00:12:12,570
as far as it being able to be
serviceable with water to the area.

217
00:12:12,637 --> 00:12:16,530
But this is still a portable document
that the GFA requires

218
00:12:16,597 --> 00:12:19,520
to complete the loan and to complete
the construction project

219
00:12:19,587 --> 00:12:22,387
as originally presented.

220
00:12:22,637 --> 00:12:25,810
If you recall back in 2024, we did
have some issues with

221
00:12:25,877 --> 00:12:29,320
the foundation type of the tank,

222
00:12:29,387 --> 00:12:35,657
that led to about a six-month delay
and that's the reason for this
extension.

223
00:12:36,147 --> 00:12:38,327
Nathan, when did you say the
extension was to?

224
00:12:38,707 --> 00:12:40,937
We have to October of 26.

225
00:12:41,357 --> 00:12:44,787
Well, mine says February 1st, 2027.

226
00:12:45,117 --> 00:12:46,090
Oh, okay.

227
00:12:46,157 --> 00:12:48,807
Is that right?

228
00:12:50,787 --> 00:12:52,050
Yes.

229
00:12:52,117 --> 00:12:55,320
We extended the official, and if you
look at exhibit three,

230
00:12:55,387 --> 00:12:57,490
the completion date of October of 26
is

231
00:12:57,557 --> 00:13:01,220
what we believe will be 100% complete
by then. But then

232
00:13:01,287 --> 00:13:04,347
to February of 27, which is six
months after that date.

233
00:13:07,827 --> 00:13:10,887
Thank you for catching that,
Councilman Scollin.

234
00:13:13,787 --> 00:13:15,127
Any other questions?

235
00:13:16,997 --> 00:13:21,927
And the city attorney has reviewed
and he's already signed off on all
his documents.

236
00:13:22,117 --> 00:13:23,450
That is correct.

237
00:13:24,487 --> 00:13:25,940
All right, is there a motion?

238
00:13:26,007 --> 00:13:28,837
I make a motion to approve the
extension of the GFA loan.

239
00:13:29,087 --> 00:13:30,927
Is there a second? I can second.

240
00:13:32,157 --> 00:13:33,490
All in favor?

241
00:13:34,597 --> 00:13:35,930
So carried.

242
00:13:36,927 --> 00:13:40,120
Okay, I am going to actually move the
communication portion up

243
00:13:40,187 --> 00:13:42,790
because we're going to be going into
executive session

244
00:13:42,857 --> 00:13:46,657
and we will not be voting on anything
when we come back out.

245
00:13:46,757 --> 00:13:48,840
So, there are several things on here.

246
00:13:48,907 --> 00:13:53,650
I do want to say thank you first to
everyone that had a part of the
Fourth of July event.

247
00:13:53,717 --> 00:13:54,810
It was phenomenal.

248
00:13:54,877 --> 00:13:57,300
The fireworks were amazing.

249
00:13:57,367 --> 00:14:03,840
We know how many hours go into that
and the time and effort that is put
into all those special events.

250
00:14:03,907 --> 00:14:07,567
So thank you very much. It was a
wonderful night. The rain did not
win.

251
00:14:07,857 --> 00:14:10,890
And it was a great night for families
to be out. Everybody

252
00:14:10,957 --> 00:14:12,540
was smiling and happy and

253
00:14:12,607 --> 00:14:16,667
it was just a great community event.
So thank you.

254
00:14:17,637 --> 00:14:22,037
Several of us attended a GMA
conference, June 26th through the
30th.

255
00:14:22,687 --> 00:14:25,620
And I'm going to be asking some of
the attendants of classes

256
00:14:25,687 --> 00:14:27,490
just to share some updates

257
00:14:27,557 --> 00:14:30,817
at our next workshop about that.

258
00:14:31,287 --> 00:14:35,960
I want to remind everybody about the
National Night Out, which is going to
be held at JF Gregory.

259
00:14:36,027 --> 00:14:41,157
Thanks to our Richmond Hill Police
Department on August the 4th from 3
to 7.

260
00:14:41,487 --> 00:14:42,970
We're inviting all the families to
come out.

261
00:14:43,037 --> 00:14:47,000
It's going to be a lot of fun for
everybody there, not just the kids.

262
00:14:47,067 --> 00:14:49,697
We're going to have fun as adults as
well.

263
00:14:50,437 --> 00:14:55,960
Also want to remind everybody about
the Mayor's table that's meeting the
second Monday of each month.

264
00:14:56,027 --> 00:15:00,416
This next meeting next week though
will not hold the

265
00:15:00,483 --> 00:15:02,746
morning session because I will be at
Fort Stewart.

266
00:15:02,813 --> 00:15:05,546
So we're going to have to cancel the
9:00 to 10:00 in the morning,

267
00:15:05,613 --> 00:15:08,726
but we will be at the Weland Center
from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

268
00:15:08,793 --> 00:15:11,686
That's an opportunity for you to come
out and ask any questions,

269
00:15:11,753 --> 00:15:15,596
share your input, uh, suggestions,
ideas and

270
00:15:15,663 --> 00:15:18,626
and so far it's been very well
attended and, um,

271
00:15:18,693 --> 00:15:21,516
got a lot of good input from the the
community.

272
00:15:21,583 --> 00:15:24,246
Uh, the last thing I do want to share
is,

273
00:15:24,313 --> 00:15:26,286
if you notice that we have our new
agenda.

274
00:15:26,353 --> 00:15:29,546
Um, those that are watching this
through social media,

275
00:15:29,613 --> 00:15:32,376
don't see all that we have,

276
00:15:32,443 --> 00:15:35,856
but eventually we're going to get the
entire packet uploaded,

277
00:15:35,923 --> 00:15:39,646
so as this is being streamed, people
will actually be able to see

278
00:15:39,713 --> 00:15:43,046
not only the agenda, because I know a
lot of times when we talk

279
00:15:43,113 --> 00:15:45,766
consent agenda, we're looking at
what's on the consent agenda,

280
00:15:45,833 --> 00:15:47,106
but the people don't know what's on
there.

281
00:15:47,173 --> 00:15:50,546
But it will actually have the entire
packet that we all received.

282
00:15:50,613 --> 00:15:53,306
So y'all can actually see all the
documents as well.

283
00:15:53,373 --> 00:15:54,796
So I'm looking forward to that,

284
00:15:54,863 --> 00:15:57,122
that should hopefully happen in the
next couple months.

285
00:15:59,232 --> 00:16:02,586
With that being said, we are going to
be going into executive session

286
00:16:02,653 --> 00:16:05,526
and Council member Hunter will be
taking us into that.

287
00:16:05,593 --> 00:16:07,836
But I do want to thank all of you for
coming.

288
00:16:07,903 --> 00:16:10,136
You're welcome to stay for when we
come back out, um,

289
00:16:10,203 --> 00:16:12,732
but we won't be voting on anything.

290
00:16:13,882 --> 00:16:16,936
All right, motion to enter into a
closed meeting of City Council by

291
00:16:17,003 --> 00:16:20,286
7 of 2026. Councilman Dan Hunter
makes the following motion.

292
00:16:20,353 --> 00:16:24,156
That this mayor and council now enter
into closed session as allowed by

293
00:16:24,223 --> 00:16:30,256
OCGA 50-14-4 and pursuant to advice
by the city attorney.

294
00:16:30,323 --> 00:16:34,476
for the purposes of discussing the
following: legal matters as

295
00:16:34,543 --> 00:16:40,176
authorized by OCDA 50-14-2-1.

296
00:16:40,243 --> 00:16:42,956
That this body in open session adopt
a resolution authorizing

297
00:16:43,023 --> 00:16:46,846
and directing the mayor or presiding
officer to execute an

298
00:16:46,913 --> 00:16:52,236
affidavit in compliance with OCGA
50-14-4

299
00:16:52,303 --> 00:16:55,786
and that this body ratify the action
of the council taken in

300
00:16:55,853 --> 00:17:00,286
closed session and confirm that the
subject matters of the closed session

301
00:17:00,353 --> 00:17:04,406
were within the exceptions permitted
by the open meetings law,

302
00:17:04,473 --> 00:17:08,242
said resolution to be in the form of
an attached hereto.

303
00:17:11,722 --> 00:17:14,052
We need a motion for approval? Yes.

304
00:17:16,552 --> 00:17:17,485
I make a motion to approve.

305
00:17:17,552 --> 00:17:18,385
I second.

306
00:17:18,452 --> 00:17:19,448
I'll second.

307
00:17:19,515 --> 00:17:22,288
Okay. We're going to enter into
executive session. Thank y'all.
