Please remember as you look at the financial statements that there are several revenue sources whose collections in the first two periods of a new fiscal year will be accrued back to the previous fiscal year. It is a generally accepted accounting principle to apply the revenue to the period it is intended for. Total expenditures to-date are $3,251,048 and are 12.04% less than expected for this period of the fiscal year. Capital Project Fund Expenditures within this fund continue to occur on a project-by-project basis. With a total project expenditure budget of $13,273,058, capital expenditures-to-date total $8,635. Please note that beginning in January 2018 the financial statements for capital related funds now include current encumbrances. This will provide a clear picture of future commitments of resources prior to an actual payment being made. 1 of 13 City of Milton STATEMENT OF REVENUES & EXPENDITURES General Fund For the Period Ending October 2018 Actual Budgeted Variance over/(under)Actual Budgeted Variance over/(under) Property Tax 11,850,115 7,786,702 7,041,082 745,620 7,786,702 7,041,082 745,620 Motor Vehicle Tax 462,045 -

The RFP process is a procurement option allowing the award to be based on stated evaluation criteria. The RFP states the relative importance of all evaluation criteria. No other evaluation criteria, other than as outlined in the RFP, will be used. 2.1 CONSULTANT COMPETITION The City encourages free and open competition among consultants. Whenever possible, the City will design specifications, proposal requests, and conditions to accomplish this objective, consistent with the necessity to satisfy the City’s need to procure technically sound, cost-effective services and supplies. 2.2 RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS AND PUBLIC INSPECTION A. Public Information. All information received in response to this RFP, including copyrighted material, is deemed public information and will be made available for public viewing and copying after the time for receipt of qualifications has passed, and the award has been made, with the following four exceptions: (1) bona fide trade secrets meeting confidentiality requirements that have been properly marked, separated, and documented; (2) matters involving individual safety as determined by the City of Milton; (3) any company financial information requested by the City of Milton to determine vendor responsibility, unless prior written consent has been given by the consultant; and (4) other constitutional protections. B. Procurement Officer Review of Proposals. Upon opening the submittals received in response to this RFP, the procurement office will review the proposals and separate out any information that meets the referenced exceptions in Section 2.2(A) above, providing the following conditions have been met: 1. Confidential information is clearly marked and separated from the rest of the submittal. 2. An affidavit from a consultant’s legal counsel attesting to and explaining the validity of the trade secret claim is attached to each submittal containing trade secrets. Please contact Honor Motes for additional information. Information separated out under this process will be available for review only by the procurement office, the evaluation committee members, and limited other designees. Consultants must be prepared 14 | RFP 18-ED02 to pay all legal costs and fees associated with defending a claim for confidentiality in the event of a “right to know” (open records) request from another party. 2.3 CLASSIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS A. Initial Classification of Proposals as Responsive or Nonresponsive. Proposals may be found nonresponsive at any time during the evaluation process or contract negotiation, if any of the required information is not provided; the submitted price is found to be excessive or inadequate as measured by criteria stated in the RFP; or the qualification is not within the specifications described and required in the RFP. If a qualification is found to be nonresponsive, it will not be considered further. B. Determination of Responsibility. The procurement office will determine if a consultant has met the standards of responsibility. Such a determination may be made at any time during the evaluation process and through contract negotiation if information surfaces that would result in a determination of nonresponsive. C. Evaluation of Proposals. The evaluation committee will evaluate the remaining proposals and recommend whether to award the contract to the highest scoring consultant or, if necessary, to seek discussion/negotiation in order to determine the highest scoring consultant. All responsive proposals will be evaluated based on stated evaluation criteria. In scoring against stated criteria, the City may consider such factors as accepted industry standards and a comparative evaluation of all other qualified RFP responses. These scores will be used to determine the most advantageous offering to the City. D. Completeness of Proposals. Selection and award will be based on the consultant’s proposals and other items outlined in this RFP. Submitted responses may not include references to information located elsewhere, such as Internet websites or libraries, unless specifically requested. Information or materials presented by consultants outside the formal response or subsequent discussion/negotiation, if requested, will not be considered, will have no bearing on any award, and may result in the consultant being disqualified from further consideration. E. Opportunity for Discussion/Negotiation and/or Oral Presentation/Product Demonstration. 15 | RFP 18-ED02 After receipt of all proposals and prior to the determination of the award, the City may initiate discussions with one or more consultants should clarification or negotiation be necessary. Consultants may also be required to make an oral presentation and/or product demonstration to clarify their RFP response or to further define their offer. In either case, consultants should be prepared to send qualified personnel to Milton, Georgia to discuss technical and contractual aspects of the submittal. Oral presentations and product demonstrations, if requested, shall be at the consultant’s expense. F. Evaluation Committee Recommendation for Contract Award. The evaluation committee will provide a written recommendation for contract award. G. Request for Documents Notice. Upon concurrence with the evaluation committee’s recommendation for contract award, the procurement officer may issue a “Request for Documents Notice” to the highest scoring consultant to obtain the required insurance documents, contract performance security, and any other necessary documents. Receipt of the “Request for Documents Notice” does not constitute a contract and no work may begin until a contract signed by all parties is in place. H. Contract Negotiation. The procurement officer and/or city department representatives may begin contract negotiation with the responsive and responsible consultant whose submittal achieves the highest score and is, therefore, the most advantageous to the City. If contract negotiation is unsuccessful or the highest scoring consultant fails to provide necessary documents or information in a timely manner, or fails to negotiate in good faith, the City may terminate negotiations and begin negotiations with the next highest scoring consultant. I. Contract Award. Contract award, if any, will be made to the highest scoring consultant who provides all required documents and successfully completes contract negotiation. 2.4 RIGHTS RESERVED While the City has every intention to award a contract as a result of this RFP, issuance of the RFP in no way constitutes a commitment by the City of Milton to award and execute a contract. Upon a determination such actions would be in its best interest, the City, in its sole discretion, reserves the 16 | RFP 18-ED02 right to: 1. Modify, cancel or terminate this RFP, 2. Reject any or all proposals received in response to this RFP, 3. Select a consultant without holding interviews, 4.

Award a portion of this RFP or not award any portion of this RFP if it is in the best interest of the City not to proceed with contract execution; or 7. If awarded, terminate any contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract if the City determines adequate funds are not available. 17 | RFP 18-ED02 SECTION 3: SCOPE OF PROJECT 3.0 BACKGROUND The Deerfield Corridor is an area of roughly 2,200 acres at the Georgia 400 Windward Parkway Exit and extends up Highway 9. It is already home to the Verizon Headquarters, Exide, and Change Healthcare in addition to numerous office buildings, restaurants, hotels, and retail establishments. There is still room for growth and we want to ensure that the small amount of remaining land is developed to its fullest potential. The City wishes to: • Promote the Deerfield Corridor as a place for new business attraction and formation. • Support the formation of and nurture new and innovative startup companies within the Deerfield Corridor area. • Advocate for business and economic development interests in local municipalities and with State agencies within Deerfield Corridor area. The City needs assistance in: • Developing an understanding of the regional economic situation and opportunities. • Developing a strategy and action plan for the Deerfield Corridor Economic Development operation. 3.2 GENERAL SCOPE OF SERVICES The firm chosen to conduct this work will be required to develop a project timeline, to include regular reports of progress/deliverables/benchmarks at agreed upon intervals beginning with 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, etc. The expressed goals of the project are to: • Develop an understanding of the regional economic situation and opportunities and means for capitalizing on these opportunities. • Develop an economic development strategy and marketing plan for the Deerfield Corridor. The following scope is a suggested framework. While embracing the themes in the scope below, the proposing firm should feel free to suggest in their proposal alternative approaches to achieving the stated goals: 3.3 SPECIFIC SCOPE OF SERVICES 1. Communications No planning can be effectively undertaken without “the goal in mind”, and clearly stated goals are the necessary foundation of a successful planning effort. A sound 18 | RFP 18-ED02 communications plan will ensure clarity of purpose and objectives throughout the effort. Project Launch and Objective Setting • City will identify and engage a consultant through this competitive selection process. • The consultant will work with City staff to coordinate, plan, and schedule both a kickoff meeting and a series of interviews. The project kickoff meeting will include a clarification and confirmation of the work plan, timeline, and deliverables to ensure that all parties are operating under the same understanding. • Provide consultant team with area studies, plans, and other relevant studies identified during the working session. • Draft a set of objectives for City staff review. Communications Plan • Establish a plan of regular communications which will include intermittent check- in sessions on progress of work product and analysis. Some of the sessions will be held in-person, while others may be held over a conference call. • Schedule key milestone meetings to discuss both findings and the implications of those findings. 2. Situation Assessment In order to determine where to go, we must first assess where we are and where we have been.

Consultant agrees to be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its subordinates, employees, and subcontractors during the life of this Agreement.

It is further understood that this Agreement is not exclusive, and City may hire additional entities to perform the Work related to this Agreement. Inasmuch as City and Consultant are independent of each other, neither has the authority to bind the other to any third person or otherwise to act in any way as the representative of the other, unless otherwise expressly agreed to in writing signed by both Parties hereto.

Meetings will occur as problems arise and will be coordinated by City.

City shall give Consultant at least seven (7) calendar days’ written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement for cause and the reasons therefor.

In the interest of brevity, the Agreement may omit modifying words such as “all” and “any” and articles such as “the” and “an,” but the fact that a modifier or an article is absent from one statement and appears in another is not intended to affect the interpretation of either statement.

Agreement. The Agreement shall consist of this Professional Services Agreement and each of the Exhibits hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference, including: Exhibit "A" — Scope of Work Exhibit "B" — Insurance Certificate Exhibit "C" — Contractor Affidavit Exhibit I'D" — Subcontractor Affidavit In the event of any discrepancy in or among the terms of the Agreement and the Exhibits hereto, the provision most beneficial to the City, as determined by the City in its sole discretion, shall govern. Section 2. The Work. A general description of the Project is as follows: TriStem will conduct an audit of prior electricity billing and payments to determine that amounts billed by vendors are correct, report findings to the City, and seek to obtain any necessary refunds for overpayment. Additionally, TriStem will research possible cost saving alternatives for the City. The Work to be completed under this Agreement (the "Work") includes, but shall not be limited to, the work described in the Scope of Work provided in Exhibit "A", attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Exhibit "A", while the City will consider in good faith any recommended overbilling recovery options and cost -recovery recommendations, nothing in this Agreement will require the City to pursue or authorize any such options and recommendations, and the City will retain full discretion in selecting whether to proceed with all, some, or none of the actions proposed by Consultant, even if Consultant's compensation would be diminished due to the City's exercise of this discretion. Unless otherwise stated in Exhibit "A", the Work includes all material, labor, insurance, tools, equipment, machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, facilities, services and any other miscellaneous items and work necessary to complete the Work. Some details necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work may not be specifically described in the Scope of Work, but they are a requirement of the Work if they are a usual and customary component of the contemplated services or are otherwise necessary for proper completion of the Work. Section 3. Contract Term: Termination. The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall commence as of the Effective Date, and expire on the City's full payment of any amounts owed to Consultant upon conclusion of the Work. All Work shall be completed on or before September 30, 2019. Certain obligations, such as indemnity and choice of law, will survive termination/expiration of this Agreement. City may terminate this Agreement for convenience at any time upon providing written notice thereof to Consultant. Provided that no damages are due to City for Consultant's breach of this Agreement, if City terminates for convenience City shall pay Consultant for the reasonable value of all Work performed to date. The 1 parties agree and acknowledge that, in light of conclusion of Work within the present fiscal year and City's right to terminate this agreement at will, this is not a "multi-year purchase agreement" contemplated by O.C.G.A. § 36-60-13.

Any changes to the Work requiring a change in the Contract Price (defined below) shall require a written change order executed by the City in accordance with its purchasing regulations. Section 5.

For purposes of calculating initial savings realized, only those savings that produce direct and readily -quantifiable monetary benefits to the City (e.g., cash, account credit, or other contributions having an easily -measurable monetary value) will form the basis for Consultant's compensation, it being the City's intention in entering into this Agreement to save taxpayer dollars rather than accept more intangible remedies. It is agreed and understood that the Consultant's compensation for the services rendered is upon a contingent fee basis. If no initial savings or approved implemented savings are recovered, the City will not be indebted to the Consultant for any fees.

Save your organization's valuable time by conducting a comprehensive audit on your behalf; 2. Enhance your organization's revenue by securing refunds of overbilled utility services; 3. Reduce future expenses by correcting ongoing errors and implementing savings opportunities; 4. Educate your organization on utility billing practices and regulations applicable to your specific region and business, providing your staff with knowledge to identify future billing errors and savings opportunities after our audit has been completed. TriStem values the importance of customer service, and will tailor our audit to address specific concerns or needs of each client. Our staff has over 100 years combined experience in auditing electric, natural gas, water, sewer, telecommunications and waste accounts for commercial consumers to find "anything and everything" that could cause your organization to overpay for these vital services. We cannot predict what we might find; however, there are some basic procedures that TriStem follows for every audit to ensure the best outcome. TriStem will obtain a copy of one invoice for each account to be audited, along with supplemental information on your service locations necessary to perform the audit. We obtain historical billing and usage data from your providers). We analyze these records as well as utility tariffs, service contracts and all applicable state and local laws. During the audit, TriStem locate and document overcharges and other billing errors, and determine if rate adjustments or other cost savings opportunities exist. TriStem will work directly with the utility companies to obtain the proper remedy for all documented overcharges. The client can be involved in this process to the degree it chooses. Our job is not complete until you have received all applicable refunds, billing corrections, and approved savings. For any particular billing error, a claim for recovery will be filed as soon as that overcharge can be documented. Throughout the audit process, TriStem will communicate with the client to keep them up-to-date on what errors are found and what steps TriStem is taking to resolve the errors. This includes periodic reports (via emails, letters, meetings and/or phone) and frequent communication as needed. After our Clients send some basic information such as a copy of one months' bill for each account, a Letters of Authorization, copies of any contracts with your providers, and a few other pieces of information we get to work for you! Work Plan TriStem will review your organization's account history of usage and charges to determine if errors or savings opportunities exist. The following is a detailed summary of the various stages of TriStem's process: 1. Data Collection - Obtain necessary documents and information from Client. 2. Initial Review - Perform brief review of all bills received to detect common errors and savings opportunities. We correct errors we find and facilitate refunds as we go along. 3. Database Compilation — We prepare a database of your information and run our proprietary audit routines to assist us in detecting errors. This database will be provided to the client upon completion of the audit as a basis for future account tracking. 4. Acquisition of Documents from Utility Providers - This will take place concurrently with the Database Compilation stage. S. In -Depth Analysis - Our goal during this stage is identifying any errors or savings opportunities, including, but not limited to: meter read errors, charges billed for incorrect or non-existent equipment, meter malfunctions, incorrect meter constants, clerical billing errors, billing for services belonging to others, alternative rates and riders, unneeded services, discounts not applied, etc. 6. Acquisition of Supplemental Information - Consult with client and/or utility providers regarding any accounts where verification of service characteristics is needed in order to determine billing accuracy and cost savings possibilities. When investigating possible billing errors, TriStem may need to contact certain client personnel regarding facility use and operations, such as facility managers, maintenance managers, or anyone else familiar with the facilities we are investigating. 7. Refund Claims/Recovery and Cost -Savings Measures - Submit refund claims (with backup documentation) and communicate with utility providers to accomplish correction and refund of verified account errors_ Submit requests to utility providers for client -approved account changes to reduce future expense. The date that a claim for refund is filed is dependent upon what we find in your bills. In each case, our clients receive copies of all claims. TriStem will take the lead role in the recovery stage and stay an the claim until the proper recovery has been obtained. The client may be involved to the degree it chooses. g. Field Work - For accounts requiring on-site inspection to determine billing/metering accuracy, TriStem will make arrangements with the client to perform field work to view meters, transformers, and any other equipment or facilities whose operational characteristics playa role in the monthly billing. For telecommunications audits, a site visit may be scheduled earlier in the audit process to physically inspect your phone system and network setup. 9. Final Report - After the audit is complete, all account errors have been corrected, approved savings recommendations have been implemented, and all refunds issued, TriStem will submit a final report to the client to summarize work performed.

The Contract Administrator will evaluate the Contractor's applications for payment and will either issue to the City a Certificate for Payment (with a copy of the Contractor's application for payment) for such amount as the Contract Administrator determines is properly due, or notify the Contractor and City in writing of the Contract Administrator's reasons for withholding certification in whole or in part. The Contract Administrator may reject Work that does not conform to the Contract Documents and may withhold a Certificate of Payment in whole or in part, to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the City. When the reasons for withholding certification are removed, certification will be made for amounts previously withheld. Even following a Certificate of Payment, the City shall have the right to refuse payment of any invoice or part thereof that is not properly supported, or where requests for payment for Work or costs are in excess of the actual Work performed or costs incurred, or where the Work product provided is unacceptable or not in conformity with the Contract Documents, as determined by the City in its sole discretion. The City shall pay each such invoice or portion thereof as approved, provided that neither the approval or payment of any such invoice, nor partial or entire use or occupancy of the Project by the City, shall be considered to be evidence of performance by the Contractor to the point indicated by such invoice, or of receipt or acceptance by the City of Work covered by such invoice, where such work is not in accordance with the Contract Documents. C. Final Payment and Retainage. The City and Contractor shall comply with the provisions of O.C.G.A. § 13-10-80. The Contractor through each invoice may request payment of no more than ninety percent (90%) of that portion of the Work completed during the term covered by such invoice until fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Contract Price, as may be adjusted, is due and the manner of completion of the Work and its progress are reasonably satisfactory to the City. Payment for the remaining ten percent (10%) of Work completed and covered by such invoices shall be retained by the City until substantial completion. Once fifty percent (50%) of the Maximum Contract Price, as maybe adjusted, is due and the manner of completion of the Work and its progress are reasonably satisfactory to the City, no additional retainage shall be withheld, except as provided below. All amounts retained by the City shall be held as a lump sum until substantial completion of the Work, regardless of earlier completion of individual component(s) of the Work; provided, however, that, at the discretion of the City and with the written approval of the Contractor, the retainage of each subcontractor may be released separately as the subcontractor completes his or her work. If, after discontinuing the retention, the City determines that the Work is unsatisfactory or has fallen behind schedule, retention may be resumed at the previous level. If retention is resumed by the City, the Contractor and subcontractors shall be entitled to resume withholding retainage accordingly. At substantial completion of the Work and as the Contract Administrator determines the Work to be reasonably satisfactory, the City shall, within 30 days after the invoice and other appropriate documentation as may be required by the Contract Documents are provided to the City, pay the retainage to the Contractor. If at that time there are any remaining incomplete minor items or Work that is incomplete through no fault of the Contractor, as determined by the City in its sole discretion, an amount equal to 200 percent of the value of each minor item or item of Wort{ that is incomplete through no fault of the Contractor, as determined by the City in its sole discretion, as determined by the Contract Administrator in its sole discretion, shall be withheld until such item, items or work are completed. The reduced retainage shall be shared by the Contractor and subcontractors as their interests may appear. The Contractor shall, within ten (10) days from its receipt of retainage from the City, pass through payments to subcontractors and shall reduce each subcontractor's retainage in the same manner as the Contractor's retainage is reduced by the City; provided, however, that the value of each subcontractor's work complete and in place equals fifty percent (50%) of his or her subcontract value, including approved Change Orders and other additions to the subcontract value; provided, further, that the work of the subcontractor is proceeding satisfactorily and the subcontractor has provided or provides such satisfactory reasonable assurances of continued performance and financial responsibility to complete his or her work including any warranty work as the Contractor in his or her reasonable discretion may require, including, but not limited to a payment and performance bond. The subcontractor shall, within ten (10) days from the subcontractor's receipt of retainage from the Contractor, pass through payments to lower tier subcontractors and shall reduce each lower tier subcontractor's retainage in the same manner as the subcontractor's retainage is reduced by the Contractor; provided, however, that the value of each lower tier subcontractor's wort{ complete and in place equals fifty percent (50%) of his or her subcontract value, including approved. Change Orders and other additions to the subcontract value; provided, further, that the work of the lower tier subcontractor is proceeding satisfactorily and the lower tier subcontractor has provided or provides such satisfactory reasonable assurances of continued performance and financial responsibility to complete his or her work including any warranty work as the subcontractor in his or her reasonable discretion may require, including, but not limited to, a payment and performance bond. Final payment of any retained amounts to the Contractor shall be made after certification by the Contract Administrator that the Work has been satisfactorily completed and is accepted in accordance with the Agreement and Contract Documents. Neither final payment nor any remaining retainage shall become due until the Contractor submits to the Contract Administrator (1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and. equipment, and other indebtedness connected with the Work for which the City or City property might be responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by City) have been paid or otherwise satisfied, (2) a certificate evidencing that insurance, required by the Contract Documents to remain in force after final payment, is currently in effect and will not be canceled or allowed to expire until at least thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice has been given to the City; (3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract Documents, (4) consent of surety, if any, to final payment, (5) a release or waiver of liens, claims, security interests, and encumbrances by all subcontractors and material suppliers, and (6), if required by the City, other data establishing payment or satisfaction of obligations, such as receipts, to the extent and in such form as may be designated by the City. If a subcontractor or material supplier refuses to furnish a release or waiver as required by the City, the Contractor may furnish a bond satisfactory to the City to indemnify the City against such lien. If such lien remains unsatisfied after payments are made, the Contractor shall refund to the City all money that the City may be compelled to pay in discharging such lien, including all costs and reasonable attorneys' fees. Acceptance of final payment by the Contractor, a subcontractor or material supplier shall constitute a waiver of claims by that payee, except those claims previously made in writing and identified by that payee as unsettled at the time of final application for payment. "EXHIBIT J" The following individuals are designated as Key Personnel under this Agreement and; as such, are necessary for the successful prosecution of the Work: Reserved. "EXHIBIT K" The City, will be administering the contract itself "EXHIBIT " Maintenance of Worksite: The Contractor shall maintain the Project and the surrounding worksite from the beginning of the Work until final completion of the Project. Such maintenance duties include, but shall not be limited to, continuous and effective prosecution of the Work day by day with adequate equipment and forces to ensure that the roadway or structures within the Project worksite are kept in satisfactory condition at all times. All existing guard rail, signs, pavement, pavement markings, bridge handrail, traffic control devices and other safety appurtenances that are not subject to removal or relocation in the completion of the Work shall also be maintained in a safe and satisfactory condition. The Contractor shall not allow vegetative growth at any time to obstruct signs, delineation, traffic movements; or sight distance. The Contractor shall, as necessary to keep the worksite clean and clear of all litter and debris, clean up and remove litter and debris. These requirements shall apply to all areas within the Project worksite (i.e., the Project termini and lateral limits). All maintenance costs during construction and before the Work is accepted will be included in the Maximum Contract Price (and any individual flat fee or unit prices), and the Contractor will not be paid any additional compensation for such maintenance services. 2. Repair of Worksite and Private Property In the Case of Damage: From the beginning of the Work until the final completion, the Contractor shall take every precaution against injury or damage to any part of the Project and the surrounding worksite by any cause whatsoever. The Contractor shall rebuild, repair, restore, and make good all injuries or damages to any portion of the Project or the worksite (with the exception of injury or damage caused by the sole negligence of the Owner) before final completion and shall bear the expense thereof. In case of suspension of Work from any cause whatsoever, the Contractor shall be responsible for the Project and shall take such precautions as may be necessary to prevent damage to the Project, provide for normal drainage and shall erect any necessary temporary structures, signs, or other facilities at its expense. Where the City elects to carry out a portion of the Work, in accordance with Section I I(A)(ii) of the Agreement, the City will determine if certain precautions are unriecessary and may be waived in that instance. The Contractor shall also take every precaution against injury or damage to private property in or around the worksite and shall repair or replace any private property damaged (directly or indirectly) by the Work. For purposes of progress payments and retainage calculation, and except where otherwise approved by the City in writing, damage to the Project or the worksite shall be repaired to the satisfaction of the City before the Work shall be deemed to have increased in value such that any further progress payments are due to the Contractor. Further, except where otherwise approved by the City in writing, any damage to private property in or around the worksite, which damage is caused by the Contractor, shall be repaired or otherwise addressed to the satisfaction of the City before the Work shall be deemed to have increased in value such that any further progress payments are due to the Contractor. 3. Roadway Maintenance and Repair Duties in Relation to Traffic Activity: If the Project requires that traffic be maintained through the Project worksite during the prosecution of the Work, the Contractor shall assume all responsibility for damage to the Project and surrounding worksite caused by such traffic until final completion of the Work. If the Work requires that traffic be relocated to an alternate roadway or the Project is constructed on a new location, the Contractor shall be responsible for all damage to the Project and the worksite until the City directs that the Project be opened to traffic. At that time, the Contractor will no longer be responsible for traffic -related damage to the Project or worksite other than damage attributable to the Contractor's actions or inadequate construction. 469 MILTON Ir TO: FROM: AGENDA ITEM: MEETING DATE: ESTABLISHED 2006 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM City Council DATE: December 11, 2018 Steven Krokoff, City Managero Approval of Change Order #3 to Professional Services Agreement for TSPLOST Batch 1 Design Services Monday, December 17, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting BACKGROUND INFORMATION: (Attach additional pages if necessary) See attached memorandum APPROVAL BY CITY MANAGER: (APPROVED NOT APPROVED CITY ATTORNEY APPROVAL REQUIRED: (,AYES () NO CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW REQUIRED: (,AYES () NO APPROVAL BY CITY ATTORNEY: ((APPROVED (J NOT APPROVED PLACED ON AGENDA FOR: 1 217) 20` 2006 Heritage Walk Milton, GA P: 678.242.2500 1 F: 678.242.2499 info@cityofmiltonga.us I www.cityofmiltongo.us 0000 To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members From: Sara Leaders, PE, Transportation Engineer Date: December 11, 2018 for the December 17, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting Agenda Item: Approval of Change Order #3 to Professional Services Agreement for TSPLOST Batch 1 Design Services _____________________________________________________________________________________ Project Description: A professional services agreement was executed with Pond & Company on July 24, 2017 to provide concept plans for the City of Milton on the TSPLOST Batch 1 projects.

Executive Summary: This is an update to Chapter 32 of the City of Milton Ordinances. This update adds the offense of Theft by Shoplifting. Year to date, the Milton Police Department has responded to 233 larceny calls. Of those 233, 53 percent (124 calls) were determined to be Theft by Shoplifting. Until recently, the department typically charged offenders under the state code for shoplifting. In November 2017, the department began a pilot program that directs officers to charge lower level larceny offenders on a city charge of Disorderly Conduct (DC), as one element of DC is theft of property. Early indications are that this approach will sustainably save valuable officer time, as often these matters may be handled with a citation or, at least, a less time-consuming approach of reporting and/or drawing warrants. This also allows more discretion for officers, especially when dealing with especially youthful or otherwise cooperative offenders. While the new policy is showing benefit, the process could be further improved by the enactment of a city Theft by Shoplifting ordinance. When offenders are charged with a state code violation, they may opt to have their cases remanded to state court where the charges very likely could be reduced or dismissed. Also, currently, if a case were to be bound over to state court, the charge would logically align with the state’s disorderly conduct charge, which has no theft element. This misalignment puts these cases at further risk of being dismissed or the charges lowered. This also runs counter to the state law that reclassifies all shoplifting charges to the felony (more serious) category after three convictions. If the city were to enact a specific ordinance for shoplifting, there would be less opportunity for these cases to be dismissed or for the offender to plead to a different charge other than shoplifting. Staff feels that this approach would also free up finite police resources and Page 2 of 2 allow more opportunity for the city’s municipal court to maintain more direct control over these cases. This would also have the added benefit of coalescing with the city’s diversion programs and other avenues for the adjudication of these cases. Funding and Fiscal Impact: Thus far, the utilization of city charges for shoplifting cases has not appreciably impacted officer overtime nor has it caused an undue strain on the Milton Municipal Court. There are no other significant negative fiscal impacts anticipated. Alternatives: Continue to charge offenders on the state Theft by Shoplifting charge or the Milton City Ordinance of Disorderly Conduct.

This update adds the offense of Prohibition on the Sale, Manufacture, Use, Delivery, Purchase, Possession or Distribution of Unregulated Marijuana Substitutes. Recently in our area, the use of marijuana substitutes has caused several of our city’s teens the need to seek urgent medical attention after ingestion. Though currently legal, these largely unregulated products, typically sold in convenience stores or vapor cigarette shops, contain ingredients that are known to be harmful. On July 19, 2018, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning related to these products. According the FDA: “There are a number of synthetic marijuana products being illegally marketed and used for their psychoactive effects. The FDA has previously worked with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to place several synthetic cannabinoids into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to avoid an imminent hazard to public safety. Generally, these products have been known to be associated with adverse effects including rapid heart rate, vomiting, violent behavior and suicidal thoughts, and an increase in blood pressure, as well as causing reduced blood supply to the heart, kidney damage, and seizures. ( Retrieved from http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/ newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm614027.htm. Page 2 of 2 While, as the warning states, some of these products have been made illegal, manufacturers are known to frequently alter the ingredients minimally in order to circumvent governmental restrictions. The purpose of this ordinance change is to improve the general health, safety and welfare of our citizens by reducing the availability of any and all unregulated marijuana substitutes within our city. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None Alternatives: Do not prohibit the sale, use, manufacture, delivery, distribution, or possession of unregulated synthetic marijuana products within the city.

No changes to the ordinance are requested. Executive Summary: The original ordinance was passed on November 21, 2006 and has been approved each successive year since its original enactment. The City’s authority to enter into solid waste franchise agreements originates from this ordinance. This ordinance requires approval each year in order to continue the enforcement of our solid waste franchise agreements. The following companies are on the current list of permitted haulers: Advanced Disposal American Disposal Arrow Waste Custom Disposal Grogan Disposal GW Lovelace Henry Edward Kincaid M&M Waste Republic Services Sanitation Solutions Waste Management Waste Pro Page 2 of 2 Funding and Fiscal Impact: The ordinance contains the requirement for an infrastructure maintenance fee to be paid to the city quarterly in the amount of 5% of gross receipts. As of November 2018 the revenue collected was $124,720.47. This includes the FY18 third quarter payments which were due November 15, 2018. Alternatives: If not approved, the City would lose its authority to regulate solid waste collection within our corporate limits and the ability to collect franchise fees for the same activity, with the accompanying loss of revenue.

IN GENERAL 1. Title 1.1. This chapter shall be known as the Tree Conservation Ordinance of the City of Milton, Georgia or the “tree ordinance”. 2. Community Forest Vision and Goals 2.1. The City of Milton’s natural and extensive tree canopy provides significant benefits and irreplaceable value to our quality of life. 2.2. The city is committed to managing its community forest to continually improve the quantity and quality of its vital green infrastructure. 2.3. It is the goal of the city to maintain no net loss of tree canopy cover below the 57 percent existing as of March 2017, and to further achieve an average of 60 percent tree canopy cover across the city by 2033. 2.4. The city aims to measure average tree canopy cover across the city every 5 years using the latest GIS technology and use the results to evaluate the effectiveness of the tree ordinance and other tree management programs and policies in achieving the city’s tree canopy goals. 3. Purpose and Intent 3.1. The purposes of the tree ordinance are to: a. Create a living and working environment for Milton’s citizens and visitors that is attractive, healthy and safe; b. Manage and utilize trees for the economic, environmental, and social functions and benefits they provide; and, c. Provide a framework for accomplishing the goals and objectives in the City’s comprehensive plan and other community, environmental and conservation ordinances, plans and policies. 3.2. The intent of this ordinance is to: a. Promote human, environmental and economic health within the community; b. Promote shared responsibility by all property owners to contribute to tree canopy cover; and, c. Establish the minimum amount of regulations that will achieve the vision and goals of the city and produce the desired outcomes. City of Milton Chapter 60. - Tree Canopy Conservation Ordinance Adopted August 6December 17, 2018 Page 2 4. Administrator 4.1. The director of the community development department or his/her designated agent(s) shall be the administrator of the tree ordinance. 4.2. The city arborist shall be the primary agent responsible for the administration of the tree ordinance for the administrator. 4.3. The administrator shall have the authority to waive any provision of this tree ordinance where such waiver is consistent with the purpose and intent of this ordinance and is in the best interest of the public health, safety and welfare. The following factors shall be considered in evaluating the waiver request: a. Whether a literal enforcement of the tree ordinance will create an undue hardship or an unreasonable practical difficulty on the applicant; b. Whether the situation causing the undue hardship or practical difficulty is unique to the affected lot and is not self-imposed; c. Whether a reasonable accommodation or alternative solution can be made to accomplish the desired activity without the alteration of the tree; d. Whether the waiver will injure or be wholly compatible with the use and future or existing development of adjacent properties; e. Whether the increased development costs caused by conserving the tree create an undue hardship on the development of the lot; f. Whether there is any identified adverse effect of the alteration or conservation on erosion, soil moisture retention, flow of surface water, and drainage systems; g. Whether there is any substantial impact to the buffering of residential areas from the noise, glare, and visual effects of non-residential uses. h. The costs versus the benefits of relocating required utility service infrastructure and easements based on the conservation or alteration of protected trees; i. Whether the proposed tree replacement procedures adequately mitigate the alteration of the tree; j. Whether the alteration adversely affects public health, safety and welfare; k. Whether the granting of the waiver will be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the tree ordinance to the greatest degree reasonably possible. 5.
