PUBLIC COMMENT None CHILDREN’S CHARITIES – Amanda White and Lauren Holmes 1. Children’s Charities is a non-profit group serving the North Fulton and South Forsyth community. They have a goal of bringing a fully funded all accessible playground to Milton. 2. The focus is to allow children of all abilities to be able to play at this new playground. They will need the City to donate the land. One possible location was Providence Park. 3. Timeframe is important as we intend to seek public comment in March on Providence Park. That would lead to the development of a master plan which could lead to the City being able to commit space for the play area with Children’s Charities. 4. A motion was made by Mr. Shannon to continue working with Children’s Charities to bring a play area to the City of Milton. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cranmer and was passed unanimously.
