Jim Cregge, Parks and Recreation Director
This is an ordinance to modify Appendix A, Chapter 34 which is the Parks and Recreation Fee
Schedule. We are proposing to delete the Deerfield Courtroom as a rental facility and add the
ability for the Milton Country Club Tennis Courts to be rented. We consulted with five different
agencies in the area to formulate a rental fee for the tennis courts. The results were approximately
$3.00 to $5.00 per hour. So, we are recommending a rental fee of $5.00 per hour to use the tennis
courts. We already have in place the ability to reserve the tennis courts via an online portal.

RESOLUTION NO. 18-03-466
— (Agenda Item No. 18-086)
(Bob Edgar, Fire Chie, fl
Bob Edgar, Fire Chief
We are seeking your approval for a Grant Application through the Department of Homeland
Security and FEMA for the replacement of our self-contained breathing apparatus. The forty units
that we own today were purchased during the formation of the fire department twelve years ago.
They can only be hydrostatically tested every five years for up to a period of fifteen years. So, we
are coming to the end of the usable life of this equipment. They were manufactured under a 2002
specification and there have been upgrades to those specifications throughout the years and most
recently as 2018. This grant will allow us to purchase new breathing apparatus without using any
capital funds.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Bentley moved to approve Agenda Item No. 18-086.
Councilmember Mohrig seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0).

Ken Jarrard, City Attorney
Service Delivery Strategy is a state law that allows us to work with the surrounding cities and
Fulton County to ensure that there are no redundancies or overlapping in services. There is one
final negotiation that needs to be signed by the Mayor and submitted to Fulton County which is in
front of you tonight for your approval.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Longoria moved to approve Agenda Item No. 18-087.
Councilmember Kunz seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0).
3. Consideration of a Resolution Regarding Senate Bill 426, the Broadband Infrastructure
Leads to Development Act (BILD).
RESOLUTION NO. 18-03-467
(Agenda Item No. 18-088)
(Ken Jarrard, City Attorney)
Ken Jarrard, City Attorney
I know you have been receiving regular updates regarding this Senate Bill through the Georgia
Municipal Association. With respect to both county and city right-of-way, this legislation would
allow wireless providers to be able to construct cell towers in the right-of-way as a matter of state
law. This resolution, which I wrote, voices rejection of this bill. It states that the City of Milton
is against the passage of this legislation, that it does not strike an appropriate balance between the
need for deployment of wireless broadband infrastructure and the need for local government to
manage its own right-of-way, and it unduly benefits private for profit industries at the expense of
rural view sheds and aesthetic and public policy considerations of the city. This opposition is to
ultimately protect our citizens and the city as a whole.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Bentley moved to approve Agenda Item No. 18-088.
Councilmember Kunz seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0).
4. Consideration of a Resolution and Policy of the City of Milton Authorizing Certain
Community Partners to Receive (Limited) Personal Information for Authorized Purposes
RESOLUTION NO. 18-03-468

Ken Jarrard, City Attorney
Occasionally, we have to share some of the information that we collect from our citizens with
corporate or non-profit industries. However, we need a formal resolution outlining the procedures
for sharing this information and exactly what type of information can be shared. We are mainly
referring to contact information such as email addresses. We will require our community partners
to enter into a memorandum of understanding with us that outlines the guidelines of sharing
information. For instance, we will require them to tell us why they are requesting the information
and how will they use it. We will also require them to let us know how they will protect the
information that we provide.
Motion and Vote. Councilmember Kunz moved to approve Agenda Item No. 18-089.
Councilmember Longoria seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0).

Our Veterans Breakfast in November was very well attended and also the Literary Festival.
Combining Christmas in Crabapple with our Tree Lighting was a big success. Unfortunately, our
pancake breakfast with the firefighters was snowed out. The Milton Equestrian Committee had
over 50 volunteers help clean up Birmingham Park which was an extremely successful event.
Citizens are now able to ride horses on the trails. We had 150 runners for the Mayor's Run Jog
for a Cause and over 50 phantom runners which are individuals who contribute to the cause but do
not actually run. Our department also collaborates with all of the other departments helping with
the Citizens Government Academy and the State of the City Address. The Earth Day celebration
will be on April 21" at City Hall. The opening ceremony for the Golden Games will be held on
April 25th at Bell Memorial Park. Milton Rock for Rescues will be held on April 28"' on Broadwell
Road. Memorial Day is May 28th and our Beach Bash at Bell Memorial Park will be held on Tune
16th

Carter Lucas, Public Works Director
Our TSPLOST revenues for the month were a little over $516,000. At this time, we are tracking
about 86% of our projected revenue. While we have collected approximately $5 million in
revenue, we had expected to receive about $6 million by now. This means that only our Tier 1
projects will be realized at this time. The Hopewell at Thompson and Hopewell at Hamby projects
are currently under contract. Our public outreach regarding these two projects will begin around
May or June. The Hopewell at Bethany's project is beginning its peer review and then public
outreach will begin after that. The northeast Crabapple project is in its final plans and public
outreach will begin in May or June. We hope the project will go to bid toward the end of the
summer. The roundabouts at Freemanville and Providence and at Morris Road will go to bid soon.
Bob Edgar, Fire Chief
We have received the Firehouse Subs Grant funds so we have placed the order for our ballistic
vests. We are meeting with Fulton County Schools this week to review their evacuation drills
and to discuss possibly changing how they evacuate the schools during a fire alarm. Our MDA
boot drive has started and our first group collected $16,000 in one day.
Sarah LaDart, Economic Development Manager
Hopefully, you have received several invitations to Grand Openings at the Crabapple Marketplace
for retail shops. There will also be a Grand Opening in the Deerfield area for a website developer.
On March 22"d, we will introduce a new program with the Milton Business Alliance and the
Crabapple Community called Launch. We will invite all businesses that have applied for a new
business license within the past two years. This will be an opportunity for these new businesses
to network with each other.
