Executive Summary: It is the intention of the Milton Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit to partner with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC). The Milton Police Department agrees to conduct internet crimes against children investigations following the procedures of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) Internet Crime Against Children Task Force Board of Directors’ protocol. The Milton Police Department will have sole discretion in deciding what investigations to initiate, the personnel assigned to the investigation and the methods used to conduct the investigation, except only sworn personnel trained to conduct on- line proactive investigations will be assigned to these cases. The mission of the ICAC Task Force program is to assist state and local law enforcement agencies in developing an effective response to cyber enticement and child pornography cases. The Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program is a national network of coordinated state and local task forces engaged in proactive investigations, forensic examinations, effective prosecutions and community education. The ICAC program was developed in response to the increasing number of children and teenagers using the Internet, the proliferation of child pornography, and the heightened online activity by predators searching for unsupervised contact with underage victims. By helping state and local law enforcement agencies develop effective and sustainable responses to online child victimization and child pornography, the ICAC program delivers national resources at the local level. In addition, the ICAC program believes that building partnerships will reduce child victimization, locally, in the United S tates and internationally. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None. Alternatives: Continue without an ICAC task force and the related training and equipment that is furnished to the department.

Executive Summary: Ring has recently developed the Neighbors App which encourages community engagement to work with local law enforcement to make neighborhoods safer. When new law enforcement agencies come on board, Ring announces the partnership in-app via a regional announcement, so users are aware. When using Neighbors, law enforcement sees the same interface that all users see; the content is the same, the exact locations of posts are obscured, and the user' s personal identity is not displayed. There are two key differences, though: 1) law enforcement can view public posts from within their jurisdiction (instead of just their 'neighborhood') and 2) law enforcement posts are identified so users can clearly see that they are the source of the content. This means that posts or comments made by law enforcement are clearly marked with their official title and name. Law enforcement can only view the publicly available content in the Neighbors App, unless a user explicitly and voluntarily chooses to share their own recordings with law enforcement. Exact locations of devices and user information are never provided to law enforcement without a user's express permission or a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us. Page 2 of 2 Law enforcement can request information from users within their jurisdiction (Ring sends the official request to users). Law enforcement must reference a relevant case number in order to make a request within a specific, limited time range and area. Ring will then ask a targeted group of users in that area if they are willing to share any relevant footage with law enforcement. It's then up to the user to share their video file(s) or decline the request. Users can also opt out of all future requests by law enforcement. Again, Ring will not release user information without a user's express permission or a valid and binding legal demand properly served on us. By entering into this Access Agreement with Ring, the Milton Police Department will enhance its ability to potentially solve crimes. This will be another resource in addition to the S.C.R.A.M(Security Registration and Mapping) program Funding and Fiscal Impact: None. Alternatives: None.

Executive Summary: In February 2018, the City adopted a new franchise fee agreement with Comcast to replace and update the previous agreement that had expired. The new definition of “gross revenues,” the basis for the franchise fee calculation, now includes late fees, advertising and home shopping services. After comparing the year-over-year franchise fees paid by Comcast, we noticed they weren’t trending how we anticipated and requested that Local Government Services, Inc (LGS) perform a compliance review. Through our agreement with Georgia Municipal Association (GMA), LGS is the third-party firm that provides telecommunications and right-of-way management, including franchise compliance monitoring services. LGS’ audit confirmed that Comcast failed to include the new revenue items in their gross revenue calculations, resulting in an underpayment of $34,896.40. It is worth noting that our partnership with GMA and LGS has generated nearly $160,000 in additional revenue to the City since 2017. Funding and Fiscal Impact: An increase in revenues by $34,896.40. Alternatives: No alternatives Legal Review: Approved by Jeff Strickland with Jarrard & Davis on 10/15/19 Concurrent Review: Steven Krokoff, City Manager Attachment: Settlement Agreement SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT FRANCHISE FEE AUDIT/REVIEW This Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") is dated this day of 2019, between Comcast Cable Communications, LLC ("Comcast"), and the City of Milton, GA (the "City").

RECITALS WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 4. 1.1 of the franchise agreement, the City is permitted to receive from Comcast a franchise fee in the amount of five percent of Comcast's gross revenues (the "Franchise Fee"); WHEREAS, the City engaged the firm of Local Government Services to conduct a review of Comcast's Franchise Fee payments for the period from October 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019 ("Audit Period"); WHEREAS, the City has provided Comcast with a copy of a report prepared by Local Government Services dated October 8, 2019 ("Report"), which report concludes that Comcast owes additional franchise fees for the Audit Period; WHEREAS, the Parties deem it to be to their mutual benefit to settle their differences for all Franchise Fee payment issues for the period of October 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019 (the "Settlement Period"), by this Settlement Agreement, resolve all such disputes and specify the terms under which Comcast will pay the City the sum of $34,896.40 in full settlement of all Franchise Fee payment obligations for the Settlement Period.

RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND FINAL SATISFACTION AND RELEASE OF PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS The Parties hereby release and discharge each other from all claims related to Franchise Fee payments for the Settlement Period.

A-1 APPENDIX B CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS ................................. B-1 1 AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of the ____ day of _________, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), and is between the City of Milton, Georgia, an incorporated Georgia City (the “Franchising Authority” or the “City”), and Comcast Cable Communications, LLC whose principal place of business is located at 2925 Courtyards Drive, Norcross, Georgia 30071 (the “Company”). For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise defined in this Agreement, the capitalized terms, phrases, words, and their derivations, shall have the meanings set forth in Appendix A. The Franchising Authority, having determined that the financial, legal, and technical ability of the Company is reasonably sufficient to provide the services, facilities, and equipment necessary to meet the current and future cable-related needs of the community and that, as of the Effective Date, the Company is in material compliance with the terms and conditions of the cable franchise preceding this Agreement, desires to enter into this Agreement with the Company for the construction, operation, and maintenance of a Cable System on the terms and conditions set forth herein. In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows: SECTION 1 GRANT OF AUTHORITY 1.1 Grant of Franchise. The Franchising Authority hereby grants under the Cable Act a nonexclusive franchise (the “Franchise”) to occupy and use the Streets within the Franchise Area in order to construct operate, maintain, upgrade, repair, and remove the Cable System, and provide Cable Services through the Cable System, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Franchise authorizes Cable Service only, and it does not grant or prohibit the right(s) of the Company to provide other services. 1.2 Term of Franchise. This Franchise shall be in effect for a period of ten (10) years commencing on the Effective Date, unless renewed or lawfully terminated in accordance with this Agreement and the Cable Act. 1.3 Renewal. Subject to Section 626 of the Cable Act (47 U.S.C. § 546) and such terms and conditions as may lawfully be established by the Franchising Authority, the Franchising Authority reserves the right to grant or deny renewal of the Franchise. 1.4 Reservation of Authority. Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) abrogate the right of the Franchising Authority to perform any public works or public improvements of any description, (ii) be construed as a waiver of any codes or ordinances of the Franchising Authority or of the Franchising Authority’s right to require the Company or any Person utilizing the Cable System to secure the appropriate permits or authorizations for its use, or (iii) be construed as a waiver or release of the rights of the Franchising Authority in and to the Streets. Notwithstanding the above, in the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any code or ordinance adopted by the Franchising Authority, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail. 2 1.5 Competitive Equity and Subsequent Action Provisions. 1.5.1 Purposes. The Company and the Franchising Authority acknowledge that there is increasing competition in the video marketplace among cable operators, direct broadcast satellite providers, telephone companies, broadband content providers, and others; new technologies are emerging that enable the provision of new and advanced services to City residents; and changes in the scope and application of the traditional regulatory framework governing the provision of Video Services are being considered in a variety of federal, state, and local venues. To foster an environment where all Cable Service Providers and Video Service Providers using the Streets can compete on a competitively neutral and nondiscriminatory basis; encourage the provision of new and advanced services to City residents; promote local communications infrastructure investments and economic opportunities in the City; and provide flexibility in the event of subsequent changes in the law, the Company and the Franchising Authority have agreed to the provisions in this Section 1.5, and these provisions should be interpreted and applied with these purposes in mind. The parties agree that the Franchising Authority shall not be required to execute a franchise agreement or authorization with a competitive CSP or VSP that is identical, word-for-word, with this Agreement to avoid triggering the provisions of this Section 1.5, so long as the regulatory and financial burdens on and benefits to each CSP or VSP are materially equivalent to the burdens on and benefits to the Company. “Materially equivalent” provisions include but are not limited to: franchise fees and the definition of Gross Revenues; system build-out requirements; security instruments; public, education and government access channels and support; customer service standards; and audits. 1.5.2 Fair Terms for All Providers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other provision of law, (a) If any VSP or CSP enters into any agreement with the Franchising Authority to provide Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area, the Franchising Authority and the Company, upon written request of the Company, will use best efforts in good faith to negotiate the Company’s proposed Franchise modifications, and such negotiation will proceed and conclude within sixty (60) days, unless that period is reduced or extended by mutual agreement of the parties. If the Franchising Authority and the Company agree to Franchise modifications pursuant to such negotiations, then the Franchising Authority shall amend this Agreement to include the modifications. If there is no written agreement or other authorization between the new VSP or CSP and the Franchising Authority, the Company and the Franchising Authority shall use the sixty (60) day period to develop and enter into an agreement or other appropriate authorization (to the extent the Company determines an agreement or authorization is necessary) that to the maximum extent possible contains provisions that will ensure competitive equity between the Company and other VSPs or CSPs, taking into account the terms and conditions under which the new VSP or CSP is allowed to provide Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area. 3 (b) Following the Franchise modification negotiations provided for in Section 1.5.2(a), if the Franchising Authority and the Company fail to reach agreement in such negotiations, the Company may, at its option, elect to replace this Agreement by opting in to the same franchise agreement or other lawful authorization that the Franchising Authority has granted to the new VSP or CSP. If the Company so elects, the Franchising Authority shall adopt the Company’s replacement agreement at the next regularly scheduled City council meeting. (c) The Franchising Authority shall at all times enforce the City code, state, and federal ban on providing Cable Service without a franchise. The Franchising Authority’s enforcement efforts shall be continuous and diligent throughout the term of this Agreement. Should the Franchising Authority not commence enforcement efforts within sixty (60) days of becoming aware of a VSP or CSP providing Video Service or Cable Service within the Franchise Area, the Company shall have the right to petition the Franchising Authority for the relief provided in Section 1.5.2 above. (d) This Section 1.5.2 shall not apply for VSPs or CSPs providing Video Service or Cable Service in the Franchise Area under the authorization of the Georgia Consumer Choice for Television Act (O.C.G.A. § 36-76-1, et seq.). 1.5.3 Subsequent Change in Law. If there is a change in federal, state, or local law that provides for a new or alternative form of authorization, subsequent to the Effective Date, for a VSP or CSP utilizing the Streets to provide Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area, or that otherwise changes the nature or extent of the obligations that the Franchising Authority may request from or impose on a VSP or CSP providing Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area, the Franchising Authority agrees that, notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon the written request and at the option of the Company, the Franchising Authority shall: (i) permit the Company to provide Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area on substantially the same terms and conditions as are applicable to a VSP or CSP under the changed law; (ii) modify this Agreement to comply with the changed law; or (iii) modify this Agreement to ensure competitive equity between the Company and other VSPs or CSPs, taking into account the conditions under which other VSPs or CSPs are permitted to provide Video Services or Cable Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area. The Franchising Authority and the Company shall implement the provisions of this Section 1.5.3 within sixty (60) days after the Company submits a written request to the Franchising Authority. Should the Franchising Authority fail to implement these provisions within the time specified, this Agreement shall, at the Company’s option and upon written notice to the Franchising Authority, be deemed amended as initially requested by the Company under this Section 1.5.3. Notwithstanding any provision of law that imposes a time or other limitation on the Company’s ability to take advantage of the changed law’s provisions, the Company may exercise its rights under this Section 1.5.3 at any time, but not sooner than thirty (30) days after the changed law goes into effect. 1.5.4 Effect on This Agreement. Any agreement, authorization, right, or determination to provide Cable Services or Video Services to Subscribers in the Franchise Area under this Section 1.5 shall supersede this Agreement. 4 SECTION 2 THE CABLE SYSTEM 2.1 The System and Its Operations. 2.1.1 Service Area. As of the Effective Date, the Company operates a Cable System within the Franchise Area. 2.1.2 System. As of the Effective Date, the Company maintains and operates a Cable System capable of providing over 250 Channels of Video Programming, which Channels may be delivered by analog, digital, or other transmission technologies, at the sole discretion of the Company. 2.1.3 System Technical Standards. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Cable System shall be designed, maintained, and operated such that quality and reliability of System Signal will be in compliance with all applicable consumer electronics equipment compatibility standards, including but not limited to Section 624A of the Cable Act (47 U.S.C. § 544a) and 47 C.F.R. § 76.630, as may be amended from time to time. 2.1.4 Testing Procedures; Technical Performance. Throughout the term of this Agreement, the Company shall operate and maintain the Cable System in accordance with the testing procedures and the technical performance standards of the FCC. 2.2 Requirements with Respect to Work on the System. 2.2.1 General Requirements. The Company shall comply with ordinances, rules, and regulations established by the Franchising Authority pursuant to the lawful exercise of its police powers and generally applicable to all users of the Streets. To the extent that local ordinances, rules, or regulations clearly conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail, except where such conflict arises from the Franchising Authority’s lawful exercise of its police powers. 2.2.2 Protection of Underground Utilities. Both the Company and the Franchising Authority shall comply with the Georgia Utility Facility Protection Act (O.C.G.A. § 25-9-1, et seq.), relating to notification prior to excavation near underground utilities, as may be amended from time to time. 2.3 Permits and General Obligations. 2.3.1 The Company shall be responsible for obtaining all permits, licenses, or other forms of approval or authorization necessary to construct, operate, maintain, or repair the Cable System, or any part thereof, prior to the commencement of any such activity. The Franchising Authority shall not charge the Company, and the Company shall not be required to pay, any fee or charge for the issuance of permits, licenses, or other approvals, as such payments are included in the franchise fees described in Section 4 below. The issuance of permits, licenses, or other approvals shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld by the Franchising Authority. Construction, installation, and maintenance of the Cable System shall be performed in a safe, thorough, and reliable manner using materials 5 of good and durable quality. All transmission and distribution structures, poles, other lines, and equipment installed by the Company for use in the Cable System in accordance with this Agreement shall be located so as to minimize interference with the proper use of the Streets and the rights and reasonable convenience of property owners who own property adjoining the Streets. 2.3.2 Code Compliance. The Company shall comply with all applicable building, safety, and construction codes. The parties agree that at present, Cable Systems are not subject to the low voltage regulations of the National Electric Code, National Electrical Safety Code, or other such codes or regulations. In the event that the applicable codes are revised such that Cable Systems become subject to low voltage regulations without being grandfathered or otherwise exempted, the Company will thereafter be required to comply with those regulations. 2.4 Conditions on Street Occupancy. 2.4.1 New Grades or Lines. If the grades or lines of any Street within the Franchise Area are lawfully changed at any time during the term of this Agreement, then the Company shall, upon at least ninety (90) days’ advance written notice from the Franchising Authority and at its own cost and expense, protect or promptly alter or relocate the Cable System, or any part thereof, so as to conform with the new grades or lines. If public funds are available to any Person using the Street for the purpose of defraying the cost of any of the foregoing work, the Franchising Authority shall make application for such funds on behalf of the Company.

Drewry, Director of Public Works Date: Submitted on September 23, 2019 for First Reading on October 7, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting and Second Reading on October 21, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting Agenda Item: Consideration of an Ordinance Amendment to Chapter 48, Article VII, Division 3, Section 48-585 for Prohibitions and Uses in the Public Rights-of-Way to Address Fixed Objects within the Right-of-Way _____________________________________________________________________________________ Department Recommendation: Approval . Executive Summary: The current municipal code section addresses fixed objects encroaching in the public right-of-way. However, the current code language implies that fixed objects in the right- of-way are safety hazards. Not all fixed objects and encroachments in the right-of-way constitute a safety hazard. Often times those fixed objects are within the right-of-way but, not all those fixed objects are within “clear zones” to allow the operator of a vehicle to re-enter the roadway after leaving the roadway and therefore, not all those fixed objects are foreseen as a safety hazard. Th e recommendation is to replace the ordinance language stating that “fixed objects within the right-of-way are safety hazards” with language to the effect that objects that “in the reasonable opinion of the City traffic engineer or his/her designee, may pose a safety hazard” are not allowed in the right of way. It is also recommended that language in the code providing that fixed mailboxes are not allowed in the right of way be modestly adjusted to account for the traffic engineer’s discretion regarding other objects in the right of way. The code further directs City staff to perform safety evaluations of those encroachments. Those evaluations may result in action by the City to direct the owner to remove those encroachments. Funding and Fiscal Impact: None Alternatives: 1. Amend ordinance per staff’s recommendation. 2. Not to amend ordinance.

Executive Summary: The National Decennial Census is April 1, 2020. Milton’s first decennial census was in 2010 and counted 32,661 people. This was based on a 77% mail in response rate. Estimates indicate that Milton’s current population is closer to 40,000 residents. The City of Milton wants to improve the upcoming census response rate. We are encouraging each resident (100%) to respond to the upcoming census in 2020 so that Milton can account for each resident and plan to provide services for the community. The census is important because it is used to determine the proportional distribution of nearly $1 trillion in federal funding for programs. Non-response to the census questionnaire can result in an undercount and less funding allotted to Milton. The census is also used to determine representation at every level of government including the state of Georgia and Milton’s city council districts. An undercount in any area of the city can skew district lines. The 2020 U.S. census will be the first to allow the census survey to be completed online , with the option to receive a traditional paper questionnaire. Milton is committed to encouraging a 100% response rate for the 2020 census and contributing the complete count of its residents. To assist with this effort, we will work with stakeholders from a wide spectrum of the community to form a complete count committee to help provide an accurate count by encouraging residents to respond to the 2020 census questionnaire.
