[0:00] percentage
[0:04] I apologies to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic
[0:10] for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and just for
[0:17] all
[0:29] right purpose of tonight's meeting is a public
[0:35] hearing and this is on the peace boss which is transportation special purpose
[0:43] local option sales tax
[0:51] I mean he's interested in putting this on the ballot for this fall and in the
[0:59] hopes that all the municipalities are in favor of this and they sent some
[1:09] information out to it's all the cities and I pointed out the council that
[1:16] in our case we would only use this for Road improvements
[1:21] resurfacing and whatever repairs it would be necessary
[1:27] and the projection is 130 million dollars
[1:32] over the course of five years and the city of Stadium would
[1:40] get 3.37 percent of that and that would work out to about
[1:47] 876 every year for five years so
[1:53] I guess to put that in perspective guesstimate for the section of Atlanta
[1:59] Highway is about 1.2 million um and the guesstimation for totally
[2:06] tournaments between four and five hundred thousand so it would definitely
[2:13] help improve the roadways throughout the
[2:16] county with all the county municipalities or
[2:21] on board with this so I'm going to open up for discussion with the council at
[2:27] this point work I guess we should have
[2:35] um I need a motion to go into the public hearing make a motion thank you and all
[2:42] those in favor um
[2:47] so um
[2:50] if any discussion as far as I forward or go on whatever I had when I got it
[2:58] it's just a council members
[3:01] yeah I think you know I think it could be here
[3:05] excellent opportunity for the city Bobby
[3:15] somebody remind us I know there was a page
[3:23] recommendations about three council members
[3:30] um no it was a week at the three council members went to the
[3:36] comprehensive transportation for the overall accounting effect but one of the
[3:41] things that with this tea Supply since you can you can name specific roads
[3:47] but the recommendations that I've been given is
[3:53] if you if you name specific roads then the money has to be a lot for those and
[4:00] since our uh
[4:04] Charter calls for anything over 25 000 of the Civil bid we don't know what it
[4:10] will cost for Road Aid versus Road B so put it down that the monies will be used
[4:18] for resurfacing uh roads throughout the city so if we made a specific Road
[4:27] correct like
[4:38] yeah yeah and we have we have approximately 23 miles of road that
[4:43] we're responsible for but if it's you know if the council was thinking well
[4:49] let's
[4:58] flexibility but you know like anything the monies have to be accounted for so
[5:06] we could show that for instance we have I'll make money to
[5:10] go towards Hamilton Road the city has made the difference
[5:15] but we show in our records we show that we spent say 60 000 of a hundred
[5:22] thousand and now we make money when it's forty thousand five hundred towards that
[5:29] we have the documentation so you know as long as the documentation is very
[5:34] supportive of what the decision and council is gives us flexibility
[5:39] this this road is in worse shape than what we thought
[5:44] so we're going to do that one first and then we'll schedule it
[5:48] accounting so I'm throwing hot lock into a certain amount of time
[5:54] in in the probably
[5:58] dueling town will be one of the first since we've already got a commitment to
[6:03] do Hammond Road but you know if you can say that and that's the only thing that
[6:10] you can use it for yeah any one that would like to speak
[6:16] from the audience in reference to this no one signed up
[6:26] could you Scott
[6:29] okay excellent opportunity
[6:35] so it was really something that the citizens make about it on what it is for
[6:41] coming after this is all about
[6:45] and and it would you know this would free up city tax dollars that
[6:52] could be used for other things because uh
[6:57] you know this this would definitely assist
[7:00] we can work on sidewalks and are absolutely yeah
[7:08] I I'm all for it I think that this is you know
[7:13] I think we tried to do it and we did it as a region and it didn't pass in our
[7:18] mind County Wide I'm hopeful because the way the roads look right now I can't
[7:33] so this would be right
[7:42] I think without pictures
[8:02] I don't believe that the text Jordan I might be able to get an answer but I
[8:08] don't believe we have we have in the Parks where we have money to set aside
[8:13] in the budget to take care of that one welcome
[8:17] bridge that goes into a proper private part that people use with the golf cart
[8:23] yeah I'm walking transportation for cars and trucks
[8:33] [Music] amazing
[8:37] skirts but
[8:43] I know that goes through the bridges as well
[8:50] a year for five years it's supposed to be a five-year plan no more than five
[8:56] year I've read in this that says that they're anticipated uh
[9:03] 100
[9:07] and then it breaks it down to of course Barrow County would would get
[9:14] 72.49
[9:19] three um then Auburn
[9:23] 6.43 uh city of Stadium at 3.37 and that works out to four
[9:41] yeah a lot of lot of usable money I think our three biggest roads in the 23
[9:49] miles Road system would be the Atlanta Highway duallytown
[9:55] and I believe uh Hamlin and uh problems probably be a toast a close tie
[10:04] and then you know we have you know like Mulberry it's getting pretty bad and
[10:11] Price Street a lot of these other ones but you know we haven't been able to do
[10:16] anything well
[10:20] everywhere there was a sewer line tap um
[10:34] especially when the subdivision start and all the way out of time abroad
[10:41] so it sounded like um we're probably like this leader
[10:45] pretty broad with broad projects yeah and I'll find out when we and it's
[10:52] probably when we you know do the resolution and because we'll have that
[10:58] into the to the county and uh keep their regulator on it in August so
[11:05] this is our second public hearing we'll have another public
[11:11] hearing problem conversation and then it can be voted on
[11:19] in time for the county so because they have a certain number of
[11:25] days to get
[11:33] thank you for being a definitely would help and if if it freed some tax dollars
[11:39] it can be used to be used more pressing things within the city
[11:45] of engaged across the board game changer for staff so
[11:51] then this cost money is a will help as far as it happens when we get the
[12:00] silver bought me that would really help with them
[12:07] before you had studies as long as a work session for kind of the sorry
[12:13] interesting because yeah
[12:19] you know other discussions no pros and no problems
[12:25] World many times well
[12:29] I'll ask for a motion to go out of public hearing okay
[12:35] and always in favor
[12:41] no citizen input
[12:46] questions and all those in favor
[12:54] thank you thanks Scott
[13:01] thank you
