CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Lockwood: Good, alright. Good evening. I’d like to call the regular meeting of
the Milton City Council for Monday, March 16, 2020, to order.
The City strongly recommends that you review tonight’s agenda
carefully, and that if you wish to speak on any item on the agenda,
please bring your comment cards to the clerk as soon as possible.
While the Milton rules allow a speaker to turn in their comment
cards up until the clerk calls the agenda item, once the agenda item
is called, no more comment cards will be accepted. Will the City
Clerk please call the role and make general announcements?
Sudie: Good evening, Mayor and Council. I’ll be happy to call the role for
the March 16, 2020, regular meeting. I will waive the reading of
the meeting rules since there is no one in attendance in the
audience. As I call role this evening, please confirm your
attendance. Mayor Joe Lockwood.

Sudie: Council member, Laura Bentley.

ROLL CALL Councilmembers Present: Councilmember Jamison, Councilmember Bentley, Mayor Joe Lockwood, Councilmember Cookerly, Councilmember Joe Longoria and Councilmember Mohrig. Councilmember Absent: Councilmember Paul Moore.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE (Led by Mayor Joe Lockwood)
All: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and
to the republic for which is stands, one nation, under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Mayor Lockwood: Alright, we appreciate everybody making it here. These are kind of
weird times so we’ve tried to adjust the meeting so there won’t be
any concern for our public, so I’m going to ask the Clerk to go
ahead and call the next item.
APPROVAL OF MEETING AGENDA (Add or remove items from the agenda) (Agenda Item No. 20-070)
Sudie: Our next item this evening is approval of the meeting agenda.
Agenda Item Number 20-070.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay. I’d like to add an executive session to discuss personnel,
also an emergency ordinance after our consent agenda, and also
add a separate agreement and full and final release of claims after
the executive session. Is there anything else that staff or council
would want to alter the agenda?
Ken: Mr. Mayor, members of the Council – first of all I want to concur
with everything the Mayor just said, but I want to provide a little
bit of commentary before you actually adopt the agenda. Two
things – one is the Mayor accurately stated – my vision with
respect to the – it’s a – basically, it’s a separation or a full and final
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council

separation agreement involving a City of Milton employee, Alicia
Newberry. That will be, actually, something we will consider when
we come out of executive session – so that’s one thing.
I also want to put some information in the record with respect to
necessity. You know, the Open Meetings Act does anticipate that a
council – any board, any entity – has the authority to discuss non-
published agenda items that are added on the day of the meeting. A
case came down on Friday, which is one of the reasons this is fresh
on my mind and is why I want to present this to you.
And so what I do want to just talk about – the two issues you all
are going to address: number one is the Newberry Agreement. That
is necessary: (a) because finalization of the agreement actually
concluded on Friday after the formal agenda had been published
and, of course, the actual cessation date for employment is
imminent, so we need to go ahead and get this done quickly, and I
want the record – to the extent we’re creating a record here – to
reflect that that’s the reason why this wasn’t on the published
agenda.
The other issue that we’re going to talk about today is an
emergency ordinance, and I don’t know that since I’ve been
practicing law – about a quarter of a century – I can think of a time
that has necessitated an emergency ordinance more than today.
This is an extraordinary time, an extraordinary situation. Local
governments throughout the state and nation, candidly, are dealing
with the pandemic that we’re currently in and trying to deal with it
through processes, and otherwise keep the orderly administration
of government going, but otherwise taking reasonable measures to
safeguard their citizens, which is exactly what we’re attempting to
do.
So the necessity that warranted this to be on the agenda this
evening is, candidly, the fact that this situation is devolving almost
on an hourly basis, and local governments are attempting to do the
best they can to just keep up with it, and that’s what prompted this,
and so as you make a motion to approve the agenda, I just wanted
to make a record as to why this, too – an ordinance, for heaven’s
sake – was not on the published agenda. That’s because, candidly,
the circumstances dictating we needed to do this have just come up
since the published agenda has, in fact, been published. We’re
simply reacting as best we can to protect our citizens and do the
people’s business.

Mr. Mayor, that’s my presentation, and I think a motion is in order
to approve.
Mayor Lockwood: Thank you, Ken, for adding those words. I’ll open up for a motion
in a second on the agenda as read.
Carol: Mr. Mayor, I’ll make a motion that we approve the agenda as read,
Number 20-070.
Rick: Second.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I have a motion for approval from Council member
Cookerly, a second from Council member Mohrig. All in favor
please say aye.
All: Aye.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Cookerly moved to approve the
Meeting Agenda with the following changes:
• Add an Emergency Ordinance and;
• Add an Executive Session to discuss personnel.
Councilmember Mohrig seconded the motion. The motion passed (6-0).
Councilmember Moore was absent from the meeting.
PUBLIC COMMENT (General)
None
Mayor Lockwood: That’s unanimous. I don’t believe we have any public comment
tonight.
Sudie: No we don’t, sir.
Mayor Lockwood: We can move to the Consent Agenda. Sudie, if you’d please read
the item?

Mayor Lockwood: That’s unanimous. Okay, Sudie, if you will please read the
ordinance item that we added during the approval of the agenda.
Sudie: This is an emergency ordinance of the Mayor and Council of the
City of Milton, Georgia, under Section 3.18 of the Charter of the
City of Milton, Georgia, to provide for the operation of the City of
Milton, Georgia, during the public emergency of the Novel
Coronavirus Disease 2019 global pandemic, to provide for an
effective date, and for other purposes. Mr. Ken Jarrard?
Ken: Mr. Mayor, and member of the Council, as I had forecast in my
preparatory remarks, the City of Milton Charter does anticipate
that we have the ability to enact emergency ordinances. They are
good for 30 days. They will immediately discontinue after 30 days
unless they are, in fact, renewed, and this emergency ordinance
pertains, of course, to the pandemic we’re currently going through.
What this pertains to is, candidly, the operation of – particularly
with respect to the operation of the City of Milton as it applies to
how we interact with the public who want to engage their
government.
Every jurisdiction that I work in is grappling with the issue right
now. A lot of governments are doing it differently. I think that
what we have put in front of you and what I’m going to go over is
a very measured response that sort of balances the need for the
City of Milton to continue to operate in a fiscal and responsible
manner, but also putting aside, maybe, some of the long-range
strategic and policymaking things that this Council does – putting
it aside for a period of time thus that citizens don’t feel compelled
to want to come for the meetings and need to participate and speak
live at the meetings, because we’re not going to make those sorts
of decisions for a while.
I think that the law gives us the opportunity to sort of do that, and
that’s what we ought to take advantage of, so what this does – this
emergency ordinance, should the Council want to approve it, and
all of the things I’m going to talk about, would extend for 30 days,
because that’s as long as this emergency ordinance can last – is 30
days.
First of all, let’s talk about public hearings. All matters requiring a
public hearing, including but not limited to zonings, special use
permits, variances, and even regulatory permits, are stayed for a
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm
Page 10 of 17
10
period of 30 days from the date of this ordinance. At the
conclusion of the 30 days, or earlier termination of this ordinance,
the scheduling of hearings will resume in the ordinary course
barring further extension of this ordinance. Milton staff are
directed to work with applicants and those otherwise affected by
this stay to ensure that financial impact, or business interruptions,
are kept to a minimum, but all of those public hearings will be
stayed.
The next section – existing regulatory permits. If there are in effect
existing regulatory permits, like an alcohol license, et cetera, that
required a public hearing to renew and they will lapse if they don’t,
we are automatically extending those until such time as we can
have a public hearing. So again, you can see the emphasis – the
emphasis is to not force our citizens to have to come and engage us
live.
2.3 – Milton Zoning and Administrative Agencies – the business of
Milton zoning and administrative agencies, such as the Milton
Planning Commission, Milton Board of Zoning Appeals, the
Milton Design Review Board, and all other what I call inferior
agencies – not that they’re inferior in purpose, but actually just not
you – not the Council – are hereby suspended for a period of 30
days from the date of this ordinance. At the conclusion of 30 days
or the earlier termination of this ordinance, all those entities shall
continue business operations in the ordinary course.
Okay, now to you, the Milton Council – the Milton Council shall
continue to operate and assemble at public meetings subject to the
following: (1) all policy-making functions of the Council, like
strategic plans, ordinances, land use functions, visioning,
development of citywide objectives and goals, and similar sort of
long-range planning activities, are suspended for 30 days, except
for policy-making and ordinance functions directly related to
addressing COVID-19 and related public health and safety issues.
So in other words, we’re not going to be talking about land use
planning for 30 days because that involves citizens wanting to get
engaged in that, but when it comes to the pandemic, we will
continue to engage on this.
All zonings, plats, variances, and other land use decision-making
will be suspended for 30 days. All nonessential business
proclamations, presentations, will be suspended for 30 days.
Contracts, budgeting, and the fiscal operations of the City shall
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm
Page 11 of 17
11
continue in the ordinary course. We do need to continue to do the
people’s business.
E. Citizens, by way of our staff and our public informational
apparatus, will be strongly encouraged to observe City Council
meetings via online streaming, particularly in light of all the
planning, and public, and ordinance-based functions being
suspended – watch from home. That’s where it’s safe.
F. Citizens that choose to attend an open meeting will be allowed
to attend but will be requested to observe social distancing
protocols – sit away from each other, and again, you see the gallery
this evening. We’re optimistic that will continue to be the way it
goes.
On or before the 30th day after this date, the Council will convene
and we will either shut this down or we will continue it for another
30 days. I will tell you – some of the jurisdictions I’m working in
that aren’t constrained by this 30-day limit are going ahead and
putting 60 days in. We’ll just have to renew after 30. My sense,
from everything I’m hearing, and you’ve got public safety folks
that can probably speak to this better than me, is that 60 days is
probably a more reasonable benchmark to go by.
Mr. Mayor, that’s the presentation. This is an emergency
ordinance. I think it’s a nice balance of the pragmatic and being
reasonable and responsible, but this is what I would recommend,
and I’ve recommended to the City Manager.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay, and to clarify – I know you said we can extend another 30
days. That may be, unfortunately, what folks are predicting, but
also to clarify – if something would change we could end it earlier,
too.
Ken: Exactly, it was drafted with that expressly intended.
Mayor Lockwood: Are there questions or comments on this? Okay, I’ll open up for a
motion.
Laura: Mayor, I’d like to make a motion to adopt the emergency
ordinance resolution to continue the operation of the City of Milton
under the guidelines as presented in the resolution.
Rick: Second.

Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm
Page 14 of 17
14
Final Release of Claims under the Open Meetings Act. I have the
obligation to come and sort of walk you through the substantive
part of this agreement.
The agreement that is in front of you is, again, a full and final
release of claims involving the City of Milton and Alicia
Newberry. The material components of the agreement are that
there will be a cessation of employment date of March 22, 2020,
and that upon Miss Newberry’s leaving employment with the City
of Milton, she will receive compensation in the amount of
$11,879.52, representing six weeks of severance and
corresponding health insurance costs for three months, with
appropriate payroll deductions made at a regular rate. Mr. Mayor,
member of the Council, those are the substantive terms of the
agreement, and it is my recommendation this be ratified by the
Council.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay, put up for a motion.
Laura: Mayor, I’d like to make a motion to approve the Separation
Agreement between the City of Milton and Miss Alicia Newberry
with the material components as read by Mr. Jarrard.
Carol: Second.

with a second from Council Member Cookerly. All in favor please

approve the Separation Agreement between the City of
Milton and Miss Alicia Newberry. Councilmember
Cookerly seconded the motion. The motion passed (6-0).
Councilmember Moore was absent from the meeting.

Joe: I’ll ask to – I did want to bring up something.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay, go ahead Joe.
Joe: So we took action tonight to prepare ourselves for things that could
cause us challenges for the next 30 days. I was listening to news
today – President Trump basically said that this could extend out
as far as August of this year, which – I don’t know how to react to
that, but with the idea that we may need to meet without actually
physically meeting, I was wondering, Stephen, if we could start
researching some better tools from a teleconference-type point of
view.
I think that the stuff that we have today works okay if you’re just
looking at the meeting and not really participating, but I’m a little
bit worried about what we would have to do if we actually had to
meet via some kind of Webex or Cisco meeting, or something like
that.
Ken: Right, so the – two answers – one’s a legal one and then one’s not
going to be a legal one. The legal answer is that the Open Meetings
Act does contain a provision that allows for a true teleconference
meeting – not one or two of you calling in, but the entire council
not physically assembling. Of course, it has to be upon a declared
emergency, which you all would have to take official action to
declare – which you’ve sort of done tonight, by the way, but it
would take a little bit of additional papering.
The only additional requirement is that that teleconference meeting
has to be simultaneously viewable by the rest of the public – so
they would need to literally be able to click a link on your website
and be able to also participate. Right now, that’s going to take a
little bit of technical prowess to pull that off. I know a lot of
jurisdictions are not quite there yet and are working toward it. I
also do expect that the Attorney General is about to give some
enhanced guidance to governments on some other alternatives that
they may be able to pull off.
I know some governments have been dealing with the notion of
truly assembling, like you all have done, with literally the ability to
lock the doors where no one else can come in except for live
streaming. That has not been signed off on yet – the Open
Meetings doesn’t allow that yet – but the notion was that difficult
times call for difficult solutions, and maybe the AG would give us
Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council
Monday, March 16, 2020 at 6:00 pm
Page 16 of 17
16
some guidance on that. But a true cyber-meeting, which is what
Council Member Longoria is talking about – whether it’s done by
some sort of a Skype, or Go To Meetings, or some other protocol –
the Open Meetings Act doesn’t speak to it directly, but I think that
may be in the works, and a lot of governments are looking at doing
just that right now.
Stephen: Okay, as you can tell from Ken’s comments we’re looking at the
technology.
Joe: Yeah, I had a feeling you were, but…
Stephen: I was originally hoping to pull something like that off tonight, but
obviously I can’t. We can cast out live, but we lack the ability fo r
comment and interaction.
Ken: I mean you can see the difficulty with a true cyber-meeting – say
every one of you is at home in front of a computer, presumably
with either a phone or a monitor and maybe a little video camera. It
just gets complicated, and then to simultaneously simulcast that to
your public.
Stephen: I had a full staff meeting today with people in the building over –
electronically. It’s the introduction of the other part that I have –
we’d wrestle with, but there are solutions.
Female Voice: Good, thank you.
Mayor Lockwood: Okay, and I’ll just also mention the census coming up. I don’t
remember the exact date and I don’t know how this will affect,
actually, the whole census process. We need to keep that in mind
and remind everybody to get counted.
Carol: It would be easier if people would be at home to be counted.
[Laughter]
Mayor Lockwood: Alright, do I have a motion to adjourn?
Peyton: So moved.
Mayor Lockwood: Do I have a second?
Laura: Second.
