Parag Agrawal, Community Development Director
We conducted stakeholder workshops to get citizen feedback to improve our TDR program. It
was attended by 15 stakeholders. We received a lot of very good feedback both from citizens who
want to sell TDR and those who want to buy them. We are in the process of organizing a land
conservation workshop in March to discuss CUVA, conservation easements, and TDR's. We have
several speakers organized for the event but if you have additional topics you would like discussed,
please let us know. We will be recognizing Arbor Day on February 15th and will open the Mark
Law Arboretum at that time. The city has not received any new rezoning or use permit applications
for the December 261h deadline. We are working on a text amendment to eliminate vape shops in
the city. We will be applying for a grant through the Atlanta Regional Commission for the Livable
Centers Initiative for the Deerfield Corridor. This grant was last received in 2012.
Rich Austin, Police Chief
We were down an additional 3% in Part I crime last year. Our traffic accidents were down by 2%.
We noticed a trend last year regarding private property crashes which, if we remove those from
the statistics, traffic accidents would be down by 6%. Our closure rate for the criminal
investigation division was 43%; up 7% from last year, which is well above the national average.
We had a very successful event, "Cocoa with a Cop." We raised almost $5,000 for St. Jude's
Children's Hospital. We participated in "Shop with a Cop." We were very involved in the Milton
High School Football Team State Championship game. We escorted the team to the Mercedes
Benz Stadium and helped with the parade.
