Okay, we don't have any Public Hearing or Zoning Agenda items tonight so we are going to move on to Unfinished Business. If the City Clerk will please call the first item. City Clerk: That first item is Consideration of an Ordinance to Amend Chapter 46, Article III of the Milton Solid Waste Ordinance to Provide Additional Standards for Companies Seeking to Provide Waste Hauling Services in City Limits, Agenda Item No. 21-163, Ms. Teresa Stickels. Ms. Stickels: Good evening Mayor and Council. I have some minor updates to bring before you for your consideration tonight for Chapter 46 of the Solid Waste Ordinance. You'll recall that last week Bernadette was in front of you to discuss infrastructure fees. I'm going to mention those a couple of times, but that is not anything that is in this update, so that was a totally different discussion and anything proposed in that discussion is not included in this so if you can totally silo those two things. And I say that and of course I am going to mention infrastructure fees a couple of times here. So just as a reminder, our Solid Waste Ordinance has three articles. The first one is just general definitions. The second article is litter control and you all updated that. I believe Robert Drewry was in front of you in November of 2020 and you did an update to that portion of the Solid Waste Ordinance. Then article three is what we are going to talk about tonight and that has to do with collection services. It talks about what's expected of the waste haulers. It primarily talks about the City's relationship with the waste haulers. So the reason the update is even happening is that there have been issues for years about administering this ordinance. It just needed some tweaks and we do understand that CPAC has that there has been a lot of feedback and maybe we need to review Solid Waste as an entire subject in the City. But that will take a little time and we don't know what the outcome of that would be, don't want to presuppose that. So in the meantime, I spoke to Sarah VanVolkenburgh about whether there are ways Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 8 of 45 we can tighten up the ordinance to help improve the oversight of the haulers. So the way it is administered now, this third article, there is the infrastructure fee part of it and that is handled out of Finance and Bernadette talked a little bit about that last week at the Work Session. The other part of it is the contract renewal between the City and the individual haulers and that originally back in the day oddly enough Matt Marietta used to do that. I don't know if any of you all remember him coming before you with issues related to the Solid Waste Ordinance. But once the Sustainability Coordinator, my predecessor, was hired, it was given to her. And then when I took the job I inherited it so that portion of it, the annual paperwork, resides in ComDev. So the changes that I am bringing before you are administrative in nature. I think they are very minor and I hope they will help me, help the City staff, administer it, but they are not that controversial. But since it is an ordinance change, of course you to review it and you weigh in on it. In' the redline that you have there are some sections that I will go over, but in addition to that there are occasional words that are changed and that was just Legal's review, they can't help themselves to want to make it better and more concise. So some of those changes, just a word here and there, Sarah suggested those just to make it more concise or more consistent in language. I'm not going to talk about any of those changes. If you want to ask me about any of those, that is fine. The proposed changes, the first one is in section 46-65. It will improve the collection of the annual paperwork by having the term of the contract begin each year July 1St and end on June 30th of the following year. And I know this is not gripping, but the way it works now is I send them paperwork after the first quarter infrastructure fees are due, just to make sure everybody is paid up through the previous year and its renewal paperwork. Some of them reply right away, some of them I have to give them a notice or sometimes a second notice. It can be an ongoing game to chase the paperwork down. So I may have some renewals that are done in March and some that aren't done until August. So we have this sort of moving slate of contracts. And we're intending to tighten up the oversight of the ordinance and that's also related to the infrastructure fees so we want everybody to have a drop dead date, actually that's probably not a good term. We want them to have a hard and fast date of July 1St for their paperwork. If their paperwork is not in on July 1St, then the ordinance will give us the Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 9 of 45 ability to start the clock right then, they will get a notice from our attorneys that they're not in compliance and we are going to try to . train them to be more responsive to us. One of the things that the annual paperwork contains that I think is the most important part of it, is their proof of insurance. So we need every year to make sure those big trucks that are barreling around the City are properly insured under our ordinance. The second addition allows a mutual termination of the contract. This didn't exist in the ordinance before and may not seem like that big a deal, but if a company decides that it doesn't have enough customers or for whatever reason wants to pull out of Milton, the intention here, first of all, was to give them a process to do that. So we would come before Council and let you know that they ask to leave the City, to end the contract. But also the hope is that we would be able to give all the customers 30 days notice. So that exists to give them a timeline if they decide it's not profitable for them to operate in Milton, for whatever reason, then they hopefully would come before us and would allow 30 days notice for their customers. Now there may be a scenario where there's some dramatic change of circumstance and say the company simply goes bankrupt or something like that, you know then 30 days notice may not be possible. We recognize that but we just put it in here to sort of encourage the best behavior. I think in talking through this with Sarah VanVolkenburgh it's very hard to create an ordinance that can stop all the bad actors from misbehaving because you have to write a million things and think ahead of them. But we can write toward probably the average behavior and so this is one of those instances where we're trying to just encourage them to think about their customers and give them that extra time if they decide they're not going to operate here. So the last three really that's been that will allow us to collect additional information from haulers so that we can improve our ability to serve notices as well as collect unpaid fees. So if we have a company that leaves Milton and has unpaid fees and they desire to return or they return with a different company name, but the same principles we have mechanisms they have to now tell us their previous four years of company names and all the principles and they would not be allowed to come back to the City unless they paid all those unpaid fees from before. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 10 of 45 So again it's just this is supposed to improve the oversight of the administration of the ordinance, that is my intention. That was my intention of coming to Sarah to try to tighten it up a little bit. I can't promise that's going to be the ultimate outcome, but I think this is a step in the right direction. Any questions about this incredibly gripping subject? Mr. Longoria: Hey, it's important. Ms. Stickels: It's very important. Mr. Longoria: Teresa, the method of renewal. Are we allowing the people who are signing up to get that done either in person, by mail, or online? Ms. Stickels: You mean the haulers? Mr. Longoria: Yes. Ms. Stickels: Historically we've done it by mail. Mr. Longoria: Do we give them the option to do it online? Ms. Stickels: You know we don't collect email addresses for the companies. Mr. Longoria: There's not an automated form through our website that allows for the collection of the information that we need, if we have all of the process to be automated? Ms. Stickels: We have the form online that they can fill out. Even the quarterly infrastructure fee form that Bernadette was talking about is not generated online. Mr. Longoria: So we do it by mail or they come into the office and do it in person. Ms. Stickels: And some do that because they don't have Mr. Longoria: You were talking about training. I like the term incenting good behavior. Do you have a penalty if they file late? Do we ramp that up the later they get? Ms. Stickels: Well we don't in this version. Basically that was the idea by making July Is` that hard deadline. There are two components. I'm not talking about the infrastructure fee in any of these changes, but in order to be compliant they have to both complete the annual 1 1 1 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 11 of 45 paperwork from me and I have to check with Finance and make sure there are no outstanding fees. So the idea would be, if July 2"d I don't have that paperwork or they still owe money, then Legal sends them a letter that lets them know they are out of compliance. The ordinance actually tells you what you have to do if you want to call a hauler in. They get a 30 day notice. Mr. Longoria: We have two competitive haulers. One does everything by the book, on time and the other is always late and we never get all the information that we need out of them. Why would this person want to be this person other than they have some kind of internal rigor that requires it. Ms. Stickels: Sleep well at night, yeah. That's a great point. Mr. Longoria: My point is if there is no penalty, there's no incentive for them to comply. I'm not a guy who likes to penalize everybody like if you deal with that behavior and there's real liability for the hauler if they are operating without some of the requirements and there's problems that are associated with that. It could be difficult for our citizens and we don't want to allow that. Ms. Stickels: There's a late fee and entrance charged when they are overdue on their infrastructure fees. That's already in the ordinance. And the ordinance says basically if we consider someone in material breach of the ordinance, that would be late on fees, not providing service, not doing Mr. Longoria: Does it happen very often? Ms. Stickels: That they are in material breach? Mr. Longoria: How many people are late? We've only got 25 companies that we deal with, right? Ms. Stickels: Yeah. We have one or two chronic late haulers. One or two chronic ones. Mr. Longoria: Okay, you also mentioned this idea of we need to make sure they are covered from an insurance point of view. Is there an umbrella type policy that we really concern ourselves with? We're not really looking to make sure every one of their vehicles is insured, right? Ms. Stickels: They send us a Certificate of Liability and the City's name is an Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 12 of 45 additional insured. There is one in particular that's chronically behind on paperwork and I have twisted arms, I typically get that from him. Even if he doesn't give me anything else, because like I said I view that as the most important thing that they give me. Mr. Longoria: I have one other question; you're going to think it is strange. Does any of the paperwork that they turn in, does it have to be notarized? Ms. Stickels: There's an affidavit that they do notarize. And what the affidavit says is that this company agrees to be bound by the terms of our Solid Waste Ordinance. So when they sign that they are saying that they will do everything that the Ordinance requires them to do, which includes recycling. Mr. Longoria: This is just a renewal of a contract that they sign years ago potentially. Ms. Stickels: Using the word contract is a little odd because it's not like there was a contract that was brought before Council like the normal contracts that you see. Mr. Longoria: That's okay. The reason I was asking that question is believe it or not I've gotten calls from business owners in our City that complain about the fact that everything that they did with the City has to be notarized and that they they show up sometimes and if they don't have it notarized, then they have to leave and come back, we don't have a notary that can operate, it's a mess so that's the only reason I really wanted to know that. Ms. Stickels: It was a real problem in 2020. It really was. When my paperwork went out it was in the thick of the early days of the lockdown. I had these big companies who are usually very responsive and they understand the importance of this kind of paperwork, they were calling me saying we're not allowed in the office. We can't figure out how we can get this notarized. Mr. Longoria: Hopefully we never have to revisit 2020 again. Thank you. Ms. Stickels: You're welcome. Mayor Lockwood: Any other questions? Laura? Ms. Bentley: So if they are late with their application for the next year currently there is no penalty. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 13 of 45 Ms. Stickels: There is no penalty, like fee, like a dollar amount. The penalty is if we choose to tell them they are in material breach of the Ordinance, it starts this big long clock. We have to give them a 30 day notice to respond and if they don't at that point then they get a 20 day notice of a hearing before Council. Then you all can, I always tell them they can come in and explain to you all why they aren't paying their fees or submitting their paperwork. At that point, you can choose to give them more time or you can terminate their contract and kick them out of the City. Within memory we have had to do that for previous hauler. Ms. Bentley: The things that you propose seem very reasonable and thanks for your expert insider information. Hope they can get their stuff in. I don't remember any one coming before us in the past. Mr. Longoria: Like eight years ago. Ms. Bentley: Okay, sorry. Ms. Stickels: Ten years ago you removed one hauler and maybe two years ago there was another one. I don't know if you remember. Only two in the history of the City. Mayor Lockwood: Any other questions? Mr. Longoria: I just felt compelled to ask questions. Anybody who supplies us with that deserves one or two questions. Mayor Lockwood: Tammy, do we have any public comment? City Clerk: Not on this item, no sir. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I'll open up for a motion. Ms. Bentley: Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve Agenda Item No. 21- 163. Mr. Longoria: Second. Mayor Lockwood: All in favor, say aye. All: Aye. 1 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 14 of 45 Motion and Vote: Councilmember Bentley moved to approve Agenda Item No. 21-163. Councilmember Longoria seconded the motion. The motion passed (7- 0). NEW BUSINESS Mayor Lockwood: That passes unanimous. We'll move onto New Business if Tammy will please sound the next item. City Clerk: That item is Consideration of an Intergovernmental Agreement between the City of Milton, Georgia and the City of Alpharetta, Georgia Regarding Joint Use of Municipal Court Facilities and Shared Municipal Clerk Services, Agenda Item No. 21-164. Ms. Stacey Inglis. Ms. Inglis: Good evening Mayor and Council. I'm here to talk to you tonight about the IGA you have before you to share our Municipal Court facilities with the City of Alpharetta and to share our Municipal Court Clerk. A little bit of background, back in September of 2020 the City Administrator of the City of Alpharetta approached our City Manager about forming a partnership to collocate Court services in our brand new Court facility that has just recently finished and to also share a Municipal Court Clerk. Their Court Clerk retired and so they were and they also potentially looking at building a new facility. And they thought now would be a great time to talk to the City of Milton about forming a partnership. We started to do a feasibility study. We entered a short-term agreement to give us some time to explore the feasibility of collocating and sharing and that is just what we did. So we looked at several focus areas that needed to be satisfied in order for us to deem this a feasible project. First we looked at space and furniture needs, spatial needs. We wanted to make sure we had enough room to house their personnel as well as, the Courts wanted to make sure the days they hold Court were different from our days, that there was no rearranging of the schedules. We wanted to figure out if we had to purchase additional furniture, which we do. Alpharetta has four Deputy Court Clerks or Record Clerks and a Court Clerk. We have space for two so we would need to purchase two additional work stations. We already had Court Clerk office space and the Judges' furniture that is in the office that we currently have is a couch basically so we needed to put a desk in there for better use of that space. We contacted the same company that furnished the new Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 15 of 45 buildings and got a price quote of $18,300 there about. Just confirmed actually today right before I walked into the meeting that that price is still good and is good through the end of June. So that was great news. The next thing we looked at was IT needs, the infrastructure needs that we needed to make sure that their employees were able to work in our facility. So we currently have a point-to-point connection between the Public Safety Complex and the Alpharetta 911 center because they do our 911 services. So we looked at possibly doing a fiber connection. Currently Alpharetta has a connection at the Windward/Highway 9 intersection and so we would be running a fiber down Highway 9 into the Milton Public Safety Complex. Milton would also be able to tap into that. We would get rid of the point-to-point connection and utilize this fiber connection. As far as other infrastructure needs, they would not be housing any of the servers or anything in the City of Milton. We talked between the IT departments about any Help Desk support or anything that would be needed, hashed through who would be the first point of contact for any kind of Help Desk support, how that would go through and determine if that was feasible with everything that was discussed. The next thing we looked at was cashiering requirements. We wanted to make sure that collocating two Court services in one building and collecting payments on behalf of both Courts would work well. And so we talked between, Brooke Lappin is here, we talked between Brooke and our Finance department and went through some of the processes of how payments would be handled, who would handle them, would it be their employees, would it be our employees? And we determined that each Court would be handling their own payments, but there would be some cross - training involved because if there's any needs, if our Deputy Court Clerk is out one day and Brooke isn't available to take a payment in the front, then one of the Alpharetta employees would stand up in the front and vice versa. As far as banking requirements, both Cities utilize the same bank, which is nice, and so we would be able to take the deposits at the same time to the bank. The software system that both Cities use is the same E -Court. I believe Alpharetta is in the middle of implementing E -Court in their facility right now or in their Court services. So both utilize the same system. There could be dual sign -ons on one computer. And the case numbers are different enough that you can't confuse the Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 16 of 45 two. Credit card payments, the credit card machines can be configured for each system so there is no comingling of funds there and each City would operate their own cash drawer. For personnel, since we are collocating in one facility there would not be any additional personnel needed. With Alpharetta employees coming into our facility, Alpharetta has agreed to follow our personnel policies. We already talked about each Court would handle their own Court operations, but there would be some cross -training. The last thing we looked at was cost considerations. We looked at rent calculations, what would be a reasonable amount that we could charge the City of Alpharetta for collocating in our facility. So we talked to a leasing company that manages class A office and found out in that area the average cost per square foot is between 25 and 28 dollars per square foot. We figured the square feet of the new Court area and you can see there is 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. The only thing we did not include in the square footage calculation was number 5 which is basically a shared lobby between Police and Court. We thought that was fair to just use 1, 2, 3, and 4 Court areas because those would be utilized the most. And then the space allocation because Alpharetta operates three days a week for Court and Milton operates two days a week for Court, a 60/40 cost allocation is reasonable. So if you apply the total square footage to the lowest average square footage per class A office space in that area, $25, you come up with $135,000 annually for the whole space. When you apply the cost allocation 60/40, 60% would be Alpharetta's share. The amount for the total rent for a year would be $81,300, per month that would be almost $7,000 per month. Looking at a cost -benefit, we wanted to apply what the annual rent was and to what the cost would be for sharing Brooke with Alpharetta, because now Brooke is an Alpharetta employee. Her salary plus benefits would be roughly $156,000 per year. Our 40% of her allocation would be around $62,000 per year. We do have some budgetary savings because we did budget for a full-time Clerk for the whole year at $112,500 and then we would do away with that point-to-point connection which is about an $8,400 per year cost. And so annually we would actually gain about $140,000 by doing this. Of course there's budgetary concerns there, but annually we would still work out to be the better. If you go forward it's about $13,000 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 17 of 45 annually that we would gain. The other cost -benefit to this is actually fulfilling the current Comp Plan. There is a Plan priority in there that talks about partnering opportunities with neighboring jurisdictions and the first objective is to identify opportunities to share facilities and services, so this fulfills that priority. We did look at alternatives. We can return back to our normal operation where we employee a full-time person, a full-time Court Clerk. The pros would be complete control over court operations, limited wear and tear on the new facility, no dependence on another municipality. And the cons is the cost is higher, obviously to employee a full-time Clerk versus sharing a Court Clerk. Other cons I didn't list here would be a potentially damaging relationship with the City of Alpharetta. You are about to actually consider another IGA coming right after this item. And I don't know how that would work out. I'm just saying, you could damage future partnership opportunities. The other alternative is to continue to share the Court Clerk, but not collocate, but we just determined that was not feasible for Brooke to have to go back and forth between the two facilities is just not feasible. My recommendation is to move forward with the IGA being considered tonight. This has already been approved by the City of Alpharetta last Monday. And I'll be happy to answer any questions. Mayor Lockwood: Are there any questions? Ms. Cookerly: I just had a comment. Thank you. I am very much in favor of this, I appreciate this kind of streamlining which is in the benefit of all the citizens. Well done. Ms. Inglis: Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: And also, Brooke, thank you for being here tonight. I assume it will all work out good as far as physically for you and (Ms. Lappin inaudible) all right, good thank you for working together with us. If there are no other comments, do we have any public comment? City Clerk: No sir. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 18 of 45 Mayor Lockwood: I'll close the hearing and I'll open it for a motion. Mr. Mohrig: I'll make a motion that we approve Agenda Item No. 21-164. Ms. Cookerly: Second. Mayor Lockwood: I have a motion from Councilmember Mohrig and a second from Councilmember Cookerly. All in favor please say aye. All: Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Mohrig moved to approve Agenda Item No. 21-164. Councilmember Cookerly seconded the motion. The motion passed (7- 0). Mayor Lockwood: That's unanimous. Ms. Inglis: Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: Thank you, Stacey. All right, Tammy if you will please call the next New Business item. City Clerk: That next item is Consideration of a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Milton and the City of Alpharetta to Waive Non -Resident Fees Associated with Youth Football, Youth Softball and Therapeutic Summer Camps, Agenda Item No. 21-165, Mr. Tom McKlveen. Mr. McKlveen: Good evening Mayor and Council. What you have before you here is a proposed MOU for your consideration with the City of Milton. This MOU is a little different or a lot different than the previous MOU that we had from 2012 to 2019. When I met with the Alpharetta staff we were looking for an agreement that was beneficial to both Cities without all the reporting and the transfer of funds from City to City. So we were looking at specific programs where it made sense. Those three programs were Softball, Football, and our Special Needs Summer Camps that we offer. First up, we have the Youth Football program. Under this proposed MOU, Milton would take the football programming for both Cities. Right now, the way it is currently constructed our football provider NAFL they have a contract with Alpharetta and Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 19 of 45 they have a contract with us as well. Alpharetta would not renew their contract and we would take the football programming. And then the MOU would allow the Alpharetta residents to participate in our football program. Alpharetta would not allow one of the fields at North Park. Right now they allow two fields for football, they would remove one of the fields from their usage and the City of Milton would take on one field, an additional field. Then we move into Youth Softball. Alpharetta would retain the softball program and City of Milton residents could participate in that program at the resident rate. We don't have any softball fields right now so we wouldn't be able to contribute any softball fields at this time, but the big kick is the Milton participants would be considered residents in the travel softball program which really got hit hard when the MOU expired because there was a lot of Milton participation on the travel softball side. And then the last is the special needs summer camps. Camp Joyful Soles is the Milton program. We offer ages 13-22. Camp Happy Hearts offers ages 6-12 so it was a no brainer marry there, we could offer programming for both Cities at that resident rate to help those families. There is a minimal fiscal impact to this proposed MOU. And it's the loss of non-resident fee collection. Roughly, a little bit less than $6,000 per year between those two programs. And all the reporting we had to do in the previous MOU took weeks for multiple staff members so saves time on the staff level. And the Milton residents and Alpharetta residents would be able to enjoy all these programs at a more affordable rate. Any questions? Mayor Lockwood: Any questions for Tom? Laura and Joe. Ms. Bentley: I have a question just to help my memory. If I recall, girls softball is dependent on the Cities really making up those teams there's not enough really in just our City to make a viable softball league and I do remember getting a lot of emails from softball parents. Is that correct? Mr. McKlveen: Yes, it's a rather small program even when the MOU was in place. It wasn't a huge program and when it got broken up it made it hard on Alpharetta to keep it going. Ms. Bentley: Right, sounds good. Thank you. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 20 of 45 Mayor Lockwood: Okay, Joe. Mr. Longoria: I appreciate you pointing out the amount of revenue the City looses because we don't charge non-resident fees. Obviously there is a portion of that or Alpharetta experiences the same thing for softball and whatever the other program was. Is there any chance, because we seem to be taking a baby step which I think is great, but we're recognizing the fact that the close proximity of our Cities it leads to not only some confusion, but some opportunity in terms of providing service to everybody because there's obviously some programs that the City of Milton has that Alpharetta citizens want to use and there are some programs that the City of Alpharetta has that Milton citizens want to use. Why don't we do away with this residence fee all together? Non -residence fee rather. Rhetorical question, you don't have to answer it. Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: All right. Anybody else? Paul. Mr. Moore: Tom, in the first part of the presentation you talked about one football field coming out of the equation. Can you help me understand what's the rationale behind that? Why is it not going to be used? Mr. McKlveen: The NAFL program right now is very heavily Milton residents as it is, roughly two-thirds of the participants are Milton residents and only one-third of the allocated fields are in Milton. So part of making it work with Alpharetta was if two-thirds of the program is Milton residents, let's have two-thirds of the field allocation to Milton fields. Mr. Moore: So the three fields that will be used will be sufficient to accommodate, nobody will be turned away from the program based on the number of fields being used? Mr. McKlveen: No. Mr. Moore: Is that fourth field going to sit vacant? Mr. McKlveen: There isn't a fourth. Two fields were Alpharetta, one was provided by Milton so we're just flip-flopping who is providing the fields. So there's still three fields being used. Mr. Moore: Explain that to me again please. Mr. McKlveen: In previous years, this past fall that just happened, two fields at Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 21 of 45 North Park were being used for football and one field at Bell Park was being used for football. Mr. Moore: Right. Mr. McKlveen: If we move forward with this MOU the amount of fields that each would provide City would be flipped. Mr. Moore: Yes, so there's one field then in Alpharetta that is not going to be committed to the program. Mr. McKlveen: Correct. Mr. Moore: So my question still stands then. What is that field going to be used for? You already answered there is no kid who won't be able to play because of lack of space. The three fields should be sufficient. Is the fourth field available if there is a make-up practice or a make-up game if they get some sort of inclement weather situation and they need to make up a game? Can that fourth field come into play? Mr. McKlveen: Potentially, yeah. Mr. Moore: So it's not just off the table for some unusual reason. Mr. McKlveen: And the amount, with the three fields we would have there would be a lot of space available. Mr. Moore: Great, thank you. Mayor Lockwood: Peyton. Mr. Jamison: To Joe's point, I think this is a step in the right direction. I applaud Alpharetta and Milton coming together and getting this done. I think it's great. Mayor Lockwood: I think it's beneficial to all of our citizens, Alpharetta and Milton. Okay, do we have any public comment on this? City Clerk: We do not, sir. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I'll close the public hearing part and open up for a motion. Ms. Cookerly: All right, I'll do it. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 22 of 45 Mayor Lockwood: Okay, and thank you guys for working together with Alpharetta on this. Ms. Bentley: And the PRAB, the Parks and Rec Board who also vetted this, so thank you. Ms. Cookerly: Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve Agenda Item No. 21- 165. Mr. Moore: Second. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I have a motion for approval from Councilmember Cookerly with a second from Councilmember Moore. All in favor, please say aye. All: Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Cookerly moved to approve Agenda Item No. 21-165. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Moore. The motion passed (7-0). Mayor Lockwood: That's unanimous. Thank you, Tom. Ms. Cookerly: Thanks Tom. Mr. Moore: Way to go, Tom. Mayor Lockwood: All right, if our City Clerk will be please sound our third New Business item. City Clerk: That item is Consideration of a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (TSPLOST II) Project List, Ms. Sara Leaders, I'm sorry Agenda Item No. 21-166. Ms. Leaders: Good evening Mayor and Council. Tonight we want to review a few of the highlights from the Work Session and present the proposed TSPLOST II Project List for consideration. So as you know, Fulton County is preparing for a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax Referendum this November. And then related to developing our project list we've held a couple of events for public input. Held a develop project list development forum on May 11 h, did that in a in-person and virtual and recorded format. We held a project list comment form on our TSPLOST project website, that began on May 6t'. And then we had Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 23 of 45 discussion at the May 171 Work Session on the project list. And tonight we're presenting a vote on the proposed project list. So once all the project lists are submitted to the County, they will develop an Intergovernmental Agreement with all the cities. And then once that Agreement is approved, there will be a resolution for adoption by the County Board of Commissioners, that would be for the election. And the election would be November 2nd. On the right-hand side of this slide is the latest funding estimate. I'll show on the next slide that data that came from Fulton County. And we're looking at a project 546 million dollars for TSPLOST 11 and the latest Milton estimate is 6.6% of the County population. And so then we look at how that splits out into three tiers, with Tier 2 being 100% of the projected collections. Tier 1 is 85% and then Tier 3 is 115%. Collections would begin April 2022 and run for five years. Here is the slide I showed at the Work Session as well. It's the latest funding scenario estimate from Fulton County. They also looked at the projections for TSPLOST I that's underway currently and have shown Milton to collect an estimated 32 million for TSPLOST II a projection of 36 million. And highlighting where we are with TSPLOST I that's currently underway, collections began April of 2017. The right-hand side is the project list that was part of the IGA with TSPLOST 1. So you can see the three tiers of projects and then the project funding amounts are listed only for the project purpose with the individual projects just listed underneath of those. Show what we have underway with the check mark and then the portions we have completed are marked on this list. So we have most of Tier 1 underway at this point. Tier 2, it started concepts on two of the intersections listed in the Operations and Safety category. So those are just in the concept stage. And then the remaining projects on the TSPLOST I list that we haven't gotten to are all primarily programs and we've wrapped those programs into the proposed TSPLOST II list. And then these are just roughly the highlights of what is underway, what is planned with TSPLOST I as far widening, new roadways, sidewalk/trails, six roundabouts, some turn lane projects, the three intersections that are in concept phase, and one bridge. Wanted to show you the importance of planning documents in Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 24 of 45 developing our project list, as well as the public input through this TSPLOST II process. We have the 2016 Comprehensive Transportation Plan, the 2018 North Fulton Plan, the Comprehensive Plan, the Trail Prioritization Plan, the Strategic Plan. And then too to highlight in particular here are the upcoming 2022 Milton Comprehensive Transportation Plan and the Local Road Safety Plan. And those two documents will really play into help laying out the specifics of projects that we have identified in general categories. Looking at our Strategic Plan, one of the goals is to implement transportation infrastructure that meets current needs, accounts for future growth, and allows residents to traverse Milton in a calm, safe, and efficient manner. And those objectives under that Strategic Plan goal really fit the Operations Safety category and the Bicycle and Pedestrian category of TSPLOST project types. The bottom three project types really support more of that infrastructure focused projects as far as maintaining and improving our infrastructure. So these are the five project types that we are proposing on our project list and we have some general project descriptions under those. This graph really shows those project types and how they breakdown across the funding tiers. So Tier 1, these are the different projects proposed and I'll show them in more detail on the next slide. But this is just a breakdown of what percentage of overall tier funding each of these type represents. And this is the same slide I showed at the Work Session. I did have one math error that I corrected, but looking at Tier 1 the quote will show up on the IGA are the bold project types with the funding and then the projects underneath will not have the funding breakdown, but I've shown this as an estimate of what this could look like. And those planning documents that are underway would really provide the specifics of what we move forward with under some of these categories. So for Operations and Safety, we did call out Cox Road Intersection Improvements and that could include Cox at Etris Ebenezer and Cox at King as well as Cox Road at the Athletic Complex driveway. City of Roswell is considering contributing a portion of funding to these improvements because they have one leg of those two intersections is in the City of Roswell. So they're considering their list this week and if they don't contribute, funding still will be enough to fund those intersections. And if they do provide funding the additional could go into the Efficiency or Safety categories. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 25 of 45 We have the Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvement category. Under that talked about bicycle accommodations and what that really looks like will come out of the Local Road Safety Plan and Transportation Plan as far as which roads are designated for what type of bike facilities. Then pedestrian enhancements, streetscape, that could be used on the State Route 9 project enhancing some of those walls or streetscapes. And then Community Trail Prioritization Plan funding to further implement the recommendations out of that plan. We have the Bridges category and Maintenance and Safety. Maintenance and Safety includes a line item for specific strategies from the Local Road Safety Plan. Quick Response is those low cost, operational minor improvement projects and then Program Management to help us track and manage the program. Tier 2 just adds in these two categories Operations/Safety and Bike/Ped. Tier 3 Operations/Safety, Bike/Ped and Quick Response. So the next steps of the project list are the consideration of adopting that project list tonight. We then submit that to Fulton County and it would be included in the IGA and it would expect to see the IGA as a Council agenda item in July. I'll answer any questions. Mayor Lockwood: Any questions for Sara? Ms. Bentley: Sara, thank you very much. I know we're keeping the list at kind of a high level, but I did have someone ask about neighborhood paving because some of our neighborhoods are getting a little bit older. Of that five million in Tier 1, do we have any of that allocated for paving of neighborhoods? Ms. Leaders: We could look at a specific residential program and it could be part of that is a preservation program that helps extend the life of some neighborhood streets so we're not spending all of the five million right on resurfacing of neighborhood roads, but maybe partial is to preserve and to extend the life and some resurfacing and then possibly some of that could go to some of the collector roads or it could free up some general funds that go to the paving program too. So we've got a couple options. Ms. Bentley: Whatever the percentage is to be sure that we don't forget about them and preserving sounds good because I know that they don't have the volume of traffic that if you live in a big neighborhood that's starting to see some wear and tear I know we've heard from some folks and then of course trails are big priority as we Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 26 of 45 discussed last week. Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, anybody else? Do we have any public comment, Tammy? City Clerk: We do not. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I'll close the public hearing part. Thank you, Sara. I'll open up for a motion. Ms. Bentley: Mayor, I'd like to make a motion to approve Agenda Item No, 21- 166. Mr. Moore: Second. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I have a motion to approve from Councilmember Bentley with a second from Councilmember Moore. All in favor please say aye. All: Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Bentley moved to approve Agenda Item No, 21-166. Councilmember Moore seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0). Mayor Lockwood: It's unanimous. Okay, we can move on to our next New Business item. City Clerk: That item is Consideration of an Agreement between the City of Milton and Strategic Materials, Inc. to Provide a Collection Bin and Associated Hauling Service for the Purpose of Glass Recycling, Agenda Item No. 21-167, Ms. Teresa Stickels. Ms. Stickels: Good evening Mayor and Council again. This is a little bit more exciting than my earlier presentation, I think you all have been anticipating this as much as I have been. Mayor Lockwood: So are you saying I might not get some of these calls saying they are going to dump their stuff on my property? Ms. Stickels: I can't actually promise that, but let's hope they reduce in number. This is glass recycling. Just going to go over quickly, you've heard this spiel from me before and those of you who are on CPAC have heard this several times. Prior to 2017, Milton residents were able to get rid of their glass in their curbside recycling. Around 2016-2017 materials recovery facilities, which are also called MRFS, stopped accepting glass in the mixed recycling, comingled Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 27 of 45 or single stream. So glass, in 2017 I came before the Council and painfully asked that glass be removed from the list of required recyclables. At that point, people who were committed to recycling glass found it pretty convenient to drop it off at the Roswell Recycling Center. And that continued up until March 2020 when it closed to all but Roswell residents. Now initially, that closing was due to COVID and much like we behaved here at City Hall, Roswell needed to find how to keep both their visitors and their staff safe so they decided to close the facility entirely. And then they opened it up to Roswell residents only so at that point it was a little bit beyond just the COVID protocol. It was probably a budgetary issue. We've been a little surprised that they haven't reopened to the community at large because the facility depends on the recyclables that come in. They are sold and that's revenue for the facility. Now my understanding is that facility is never really broken even, Roswell still subsidizes it, but if you think about it now they are getting even less recycling coming in so it really is hard to understand how their numbers are working out. But regardless of that, it is closed to the general community. Only open to Roswell residents. So that leaves the Keep North Fulton Beautiful Recycling Center in Sandy Springs as our only option for our residents who are committed to recycling glass. So you can imagine that we went from sticking glass in the curbside recycling, to having to drive over to Roswell recycling we probably saw a decrease in glass recycling rates. So then March of last year we lost an opportunity to go to Roswell Recycling and we're having to send our residents down to Sandy Springs. I can only imagine that we've seen a dramatic drop in glass recycling in the City of Milton. Now at the same time I'm hearing from people how very much they want to recycle. It's just in order to make this work, it really has to be more convenient than driving down to Sandy Springs. And if you think about the environmental cost, you know if you're recycling glass, but you're driving down to Sandy Springs to do it, it's not as cut and dry. It's something we want to be able to help our residents do what they want to which is recycle glass. So in 2020, the City actually Councilmember Jamison was approached by two Milton High School students. They had shown a great deal of initiative. They went to a glass recycler and they said we want to see if you'll donate a collection bin and the emptying of it to the City for free. And I love that. That's a lot of initiative and very gutsy, but it turns out that the glass recycling industry is desperate for glass. In fact, in Georgia they are Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 28 of 45 importing recycled glass from other states in order to create product here. Mr. Moore: What? Ms. Stickels: Yes, that is true. So this glass recycler, which is Strategic Materials, Inc., they are a leader in glass recycling. They said yeah, we'll do that if the City of Milton will come up with a location, we'll give them a bin and we'll handle the associated hauling. So initially the students had wanted to site the bin at Milton High School cause they have a club there, the Clean and Green Club. And they were interested in overseeing, they wanted to the City involved in it, but they were interested in sort of overseeing the dumpster, having their club do it. So the principal at Milton was very supportive, but the decision had to be sent to Fulton County Board of Education for approval. And there it has languished in the interim. So the kids could see that was happening so they said, in the event that we can't put it at Milton, at the high school, does the City have any places? And of course, they're young and enthusiastic so they're thinking the City has lots of places to put the bin. And it turns out, you know when you're trying to find a location for anything, it is never just a matter of saying well here let's put it here. So there was a lot of give and take, but I am proud to say that our process has been quicker than the Fulton County Board of Education because we were able to come up with an agreement with Strategic Materials. We were able to come up with a location and, Tom is back, so I want to say a special thanks to Tom McKlveen in particular, and the Parks and Rec department in general for agreeing to let us have the pilot location at Bell Memorial Park. So it's going to be in this, this is the gravel overflow area of the parking lot. So we'll have it back here. I did learn more about the needs of a glass collection bin than I had ever imagined needing to know. It needs to be visible, it needs to be easily accessible, but it needs to be well lit and locked up at night so you don't get illegal dumping. If we get a lot of contamination in these loads, they will stop collecting. They will say it's a broken agreement and we won't have a local glass drop off point. So that's where we're going to put the first one and this is an image of what their bins look like. They were quite eye catching as you can see. It is huge. It is not Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 29 of 45 just a regular size dumpster like you would see behind a business. It's got those three openings. They actually send a really large truck, will bring an empty one and pull this one away. So they will be side by side, one will go in the corner and then when they switch it out, it will be in the next spot the next time and so it will be back and forth. So it will occupy that entire area at the back corner, which Tom assures me they can donate the space for that. If this is successful, then SMI will give us a second bin for a second location, again free of charge with the associated hauling. But we are letting this one be a pilot. We have to make sure that people behave properly. We can only get glass in there, we can't have any other misbehavior and so we are sort of taking this as the pilot and I will be honest with you, I don't have a second location at my fingertips. But if this works, then we will go back to the drawing board and find another place to put it. Or maybe by that time, Milton High School will have gotten permission to put the second one there. The second thing I wanted to tell you was that I'm going to have a Proclamation before you at the next meeting, June P", to honor the Milton students for doing this. It just with the craziness of the end of the school year, I wasn't able to get it ready for this time, but you will see them on June 7t' so you'll be able to let them know how much the City appreciates their efforts. And wanted to mention Mark Arrington is here tonight, he has as you know been our recycling champion since the start of the City. He has been fully supportive of this. In fact, when I first gave him a heads up that this was coming down the pike, he was brainstorming for locations where we could put it on City property. So we had a lot of people bringing a lot of talent and enthusiasm to the project. I guess finally I should say that staff recommends that you approve this agreement because it normally would be under Consent, but we though it was a shame to hide it there. We wanted to get a chance to let you hear about it, so you will have to vote to approve it if you so choose. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I want to thank you Teresa and staff. Obviously it's a great service not only for your residents, but really for our environment. Mark, thank you for all your hard work all these years. I'd like to open up to any questions. Rick? Mr. Mohrig: Just a couple. Do I understand this correctly, there is no cost to us because they want the material? Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 30 of 45 Ms. Stickels: That's right. They're doing it for the glass. We're paying them in glass. Mr. Mohrig: This is a great move then no cost and we're providing a service. Also, will we will be putting signs up to kind of give the recommendations or the rules of what you can put in there, what's allowable recycling? Ms. Stickels: Yeah, there will have to be signage there and we'll roll out some notices when the bin is in place. We'll make sure we probably, I would guess the Herald would have a piece and Greg will send some information out an a blast letting people know. Mr. Mohrig: This is great. Great effort, appreciate what you guys did. Mayor Lockwood: Joe? Mr. Longoria: Teresa, given this information that glass is actually in demand and is needed, can we revisit the language that we have in our recycling clause in our waste haulers? Ms. Stickels: They can't send it in single stream to the materials recovery facilities so the only way that it can be recovered is if there is a third bin. That's what they are doing in Alpharetta and Roswell, both of whom just have one hauler. Mr. Longoria: So you're saying if we recycle glass, the glass has to be all by itself? Ms. Stickels: It does. It can't be with the other recyclables. Mr. Longoria: All right. Mayor Lockwood: Laura? Ms. Bentley: I just want to make sure that we're good in we don't have any breaches with contamination so who is going to get those bins locked? What is the plan for that? Ms. Stickels: So the park is locked. They have gates which if we need more specifics, Tom can give us. That was part of the appeal of putting it there was those gates are locked so nobody can drive in. I mean I guess somebody could hop the gate and carry something over there, but it's not going to be like a sofa or a tv, that would be bad. Or even household garbage. Again, this is a pilot. We want Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 31 of 45 people to behave well. I can't stand up here and guarantee you that's Ms. Bentley: So it would be good though, surveillance cameras are cheap and that would be a huge deterrent. I love surveillance cameras so let's do that. Ms. Stickels: Are there already cameras out there? Mr. McKlveen: Yeah, we a camera system at Bell, but that location is so far away from the internet access that we use. We could put deer cams or something. Ms. Bentley: Deer cam will work. Let's do that. Mr. McKlveen: Yeah and during the day the park will be staffed. Ms. Bentley: It will be very convenient for the you know people going to the back and making that trip. That's awesome. Thank you so much. Ms. Stickels: And Tom's already talked to Tri Scapes about keeping an eye on the dumpster. We'll have to monitor it, especially early on. I anticipate there is a real pent up need so we'll quickly fill the first few times. Once it's full, and I'll have to work with Greg, we may have to put out a notice "It's closed" because it will take a couple days to get it changed out. It's a big semi that comes and moves it so we can't call and get same day service. Mayor Lockwood: Do we have any public comment? City Clerk: No. Mayor: Paul. Mr. Moore: Teresa, what's the targeted start date? Ms. Stickels: Well if you approve this tonight, I hope we can have it in place the first part of June. I'd like to say the first week of June. They're ready to go, we're ready to go. Mr. Moore: And we'll do probably social media? Ms. Stickels: Yes. Mr. Moore: Thanks Greg. I just want to say thank you I know you've been a Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 32 of 45 champion of this for a long time and Teresa great job on this. And Mark, for the role that you've played, Mark Arrington thank you. You gave me a great education when I first stepped into this seat and appreciate the education you gave me and you're willingness to continue to poke at us to get this done. Good job, well done. Ms. Stickels: I'll you there's been tremendous support from the Council, from the City leadership. It wouldn't have gone anywhere if everybody wasn't. Mayor Lockwood: I'll just add that there's been tremendous support from our citizens who want to recycle so all good. All right, if there's no more questions. There is no public comment so I'll close the hearing. Do we have a motion? Mr. Mohrig: Mr. Mayor, I'll make a motion that we approve Agenda Item No. 21-167. Mr. Moore: Second. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I have a motion for approval from Councilmember Mohrig with a second from Councilmember Moore. All those in favor, please say aye. Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Mohrig moved to approve Agenda Item No. 21-167. Councilmember Moore seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0). Mayor Lockwood: Any opposed? That's unanimous. Thank you Teresa and everybody else. Ms. Stickels: Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: All right, City Clerk will please sound the final New Business item. City Clerk: That final item is Consideration and Possible Imposition of an Immediate Thirty Five -Day Moratorium on the Acceptance of Alcohol Applications, Building Permit Applications, and Land Disturbance Permit Applications for Farm Wineries within the City of Milton, while otherwise Modifying the City's Land Use Code Regarding Farm Wineries as a By Right Use, Agenda Item No. 21- 168, City Attorney Mr. Ken Jarrard. 1 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 33 of 45 Mr. Jarrard: Mr. Mayor and members of Council, thank you for very much. This last item is a topic that I know has been on the Council's mind of late which is the by -right availability to operate a farm winery in the City of Milton. I believe, it will be up to the Council of course, that there may be an interest in imposing a moratorium with respect to the three items in the agenda header as they pertain to farm wineries and this is important, while the City of Milton otherwise modifies its code with respect to the as -of -right use of a farm winery in AG -1. I know that I have spent some time as your City Attorney engaged in these issues and I know that staff has as well as citizens come forward. Want to know what sort of uses do accompany the farm winery as -of -right use and that perhaps Milton should have some additional regulatory controls over that use. Moratorium is just what it sounds. It is in fact a prohibition of the three things that are caught up in this Moratorium would be the acceptance of alcohol applications, the acceptance of a building permit application, or the acceptance of a land disturbance permit application. All of those being the sorts of things that someone might want to come in and do to become vested with respect to a farm winery use in AG -1. You may ask why the 35 days. Thirty-five days is because we're doing this without a formal public hearing, but I believe the better play is to go ahead and get the moratorium in place. That is intended to maintain status quo while we then have the luxury of being able to modify our codes the thought being that if we don't maintain the status quo, by the time we go through the somewhat laborious task of modifying the code, individuals would have brought in applications that would therefore become vested so we would have effectively closed the barn door once the horses have left. That's a Miltonesque expression. In any event, having said that 35 days is about as long as I would really have a moratorium until we have a public hearing, therefore should you in fact adopt this item this evening, 35 day moratorium, which will line up to June 28th On June 28`x' we will have a Zoning procedures law public hearing, I will have advertised that in the legal organ, and otherwise have a formal resolution that will extend the moratorium much longer, probably at 120 days. That moratorium will in fact expire on its own terms when we modify the code to build in those regulatory controls that you all want to build in assuming you do, but I suspect that you may want to. So Mr. Mayor, that's it, there's no formal back up. There's no resolution. It's truly just going to Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 34 of 45 be a motion inaudible That's my presentation. Mayor Lockwood: I'll open it up for a motion. Mr. Longoria: Mayor, I move that we approve Agenda Item No. 21-168. Ms. Cookerly: Second. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, I have a motion from Councilmember Longoria for approval and a second from Councilmember Cookerly. All in favor please say aye. 11: Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Longoria moved to approve Agenda Item No. 21-168. Councilmember Cookerly seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0). MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Lockwood: That passes, unanimous. Thank you. We will move onto Reports. Is there anything any Councilmembers have that they would like to report on? Mr. Moore: Okay, I've got one. Mayor Lockwood: Okay, go ahead Paul. Mr. Moore: It's actually just a thought. Steve, this is for you in particular. We don't have a Steering Committee meeting for CPAC this week and there's been a couple of weeks while some of the hard work is being done behind the scenes. It occurred to me that as we are thinking about some of the critical masses come to the vitality of Crabapple and possibly Deerfield as well with some of the future businesses that will be coming here. That I don't recall a discussion, good, bad, or indifferent on the following topic. Whether or not we should have consideration for street performers, artists, like street vendors, food trucks, chalk artists, pop up corner performers, anything of the kind, mimes. We might want to consider, good, bad or indifferent, does that bring good or does it bring somebody who's not desired for the vitality of this entertainment area of this vitality that's coming to Crabapple and Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 35 of 45 other parts of the City as well. So I just offer that for consideration. Mr. Krokoff: Is this something you want to see brought back before CPAC? Mr. Moore: I do. I think it's worth consideration. Mr. Krokoff: Absolutely. Mr. Moore: Thanks. Mayor Lockwood: Anything else on Council? Ms. Bentley: I have a comment, just in light of our great progress with Alpharetta and the MOU and the partnership on the Court. I mean, it's great. I walk the trails over in North Park a couple of times a week and one of our citizens who lives in your neighborhood, Greg, is working tirelessly on those trails. And the City of Alpharetta is North Park so my point of mentioning this is they're beautiful. He's an engineer and he's putting wood chips down. Citizens don't care about boundaries and who's park is this and that. They just know it's part of their community so what we saw tonight and the cooperation and moving forward and doing what's best for citizens is really, it's very rewarding. So that was great to see and I'm glad that was something we got to get done tonight. Thank you. Mayor Lockwood: Yes, good point. I had to participate as a panelist on a possible new city formation and that was one of the big things I brought up was to work together with your sister cities and all that so that it really wasn't about borders it was about citizens and all and serving everybody. Good job. All right, we'll open up Staff Reports. STAFF REPORTS Department Updates 1. Police Chief Austin: Greetings Mayor, members of Council. Looking at our crime data year to date, we're showing through April an overall decline of 14% from last year's numbers at this time. Crashes as you know have plummeted in 2020 due to COVID. However, we're well below our three year average from 2017 data which is 45. So through April we had a total of 40 crashes for a reduction of I I% Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 36 of 45 over the last three year average excluding last year. In the community, we had a busy month. We celebrated National Police Week from May 9t' through the 15'' and we were very happy to host several events and be involved throughout the North Fulton community in some other events. We held a free shredding event to give citizens an opportunity to destroy sensitive documents with personal information. I participated in a panel discussion hosted by St. James United Methodist Church where members of the public came together to discuss and ask questions about many topics involving law enforcement. We also participated in a fallen officer ceremony hosted collaboratively by the Roswell, Alpharetta, and Milton Police Departments and this is something I'm proud to say the North Fulton area began with the Milton Police Department a few years ago. We held this outdoors this year at the Roswell area park where we commemorated the lives of the Georgia officers who lost their lives in the line of duty during 2020. And culminated with the Milton Police Department's annual awards ceremony where we took time to commemorate a number of individuals both in our department and the community who made a difference and significant contributions over the year and helped the Milton Police Department fulfill our mission, vision, and values. Overall, it was a very busy week of celebration and commemoration; it was a great week. Really enjoyed engaging with our citizens. That's all I have tonight. Mayor Lockwood: Thanks. Joe? Mr. Longoria: Chief, depending on what channel you watch, it's easy to hear headlines about rising crime rates and issues that we're having from a, let's call it social management point of view. Are we having any difficulty in that area. If you've seen any uptick, is there any spillover from other cities that is impacting Milton in that regard? Chief Austin: No crimes trends that I've seen that would indicate that. One thing that we do very well is we communicate with our other area Police Departments. For instance, we will meet with all the area Chiefs tomorrow as a matter of fact and we will talk about our different crime problems. We address trends before they get out of hand so Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 37 of 45 we deploy resources very intelligently and we stay on top of things. So I think that helps. We're very proactive. Mayor Lockwood: Rick? Mr. Mohrig: I just wanted to say thank you also. I know we have a number of volunteers who put up the markers, the crosses, for Veteran's Day and Memorial Day and appreciate the Police being around this Sunday making sure that that goes safely. Thanks to your officers for that also. Chief Austin: Glad to assist, absolutely. Mayor Lockwood: Thank you, Chief. Chief Austin: Thank you. STAFF REPORTS Department Updates 2. Parks and Recreation Mr. McKlveen: Good evening Mayor and members of Council, again. Happy to provide you all with a quick update on everything going on with Parks and Rec. I'll start with Providence Park. The trail and the pier contractor has been selected. We should have the construction on those two projects beginning early to mid next month. We are going to explore other options on the restroom. The price came in very high so we are looking at other options to make it more responsible. With the Former Milton Country Club, we will have the bid advertised this week so the renovation bid will be out sometime in June, we should be looking at what comes in. At the pool, it's opening this Saturday and we are rather fully open again. We are going to encourage social distancing and sanitizing, but the previous capacities will be back in place. We are keeping that occupancy counter in place that we had last summer as well so any folks that are leery still, you'll be able to see how many folks are at the pool and decide if you want to go or not. I also implemented on the City website, a live status of the lightning detection system so it will show you if we're in a lightning delay at the pool. It will show you that we're in a lightning delay. And it actually has the countdown until how much longer until the pool Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 38 of 45 full activities can resume. Good stuff. Swim team is currently at the pool right now. They are practicing Monday through Friday, actually right now, probably wrapped up now since it's 7:30, and that's going very well. We have an ADA pool lift, portable pool lift that's being delivered as we speak. My staff did a great job of procuring that and keeping an eye on when it's going to be coming. Spring activities are all wrapped up with successful seasons in all the programs. We had some rain right at the end of the season that kind of hindered some of the baseball tournament and whatnot, but we got the seasons in. Spring surveys have been sent out so I'll have some feedback. We just sent them late last week so next you hear from me, you'll have some survey results. Rolling into summer programming, we've got Camp Joyful Soles two weeks away. We've got a full staff and already at this point all the weeks are between 88 and 100 percent filled. So that's good. Summer athletic and recreation programming. Hopewell Baseball is doing, they started this new program last summer, they call it the Sandlot League. That's just weekday games for recreational players and it went well so it was an opportunity for those kids that COVID hit and cancelled the seasons so they wanted to something in the summer and it was successful so they are doing it again this year. And they've got over a couple hundred kids playing in the summer. Rush Union, the adult soccer program, they start early June. Our summer camps, we've got youth basketball, Steam camps, photography camps, music camps, dance camps. They're all full bore this summer. And we're looking at some potential new programs too. Maybe some art and fitness by the fall, so stay tuned there. Cox Road, we are very close to having an RFP completed to see what we can get done on those fields and tennis courts and potentially additional parking where one of the buildings was. Lastly, Wall of Fame nominations are extended to the end of this month for the Wall of Fame and we'll be gearing up for another November Wall of Fame ceremony. Any questions? Mayor Lockwood: Any questions? Rick. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 39 of 45 Mr. Mohrig: Just a question, topic from in the past. I know we've had people come before us to talk about an all-inclusive playground. Have you heard anything more about that, is there a status update? Mr. McKlveen: I don't have an update at this time. Mr. Mohrig: Okay. Mayor Lockwood. Okay. Thank you, Tom. Mr. McKlveen: Appreciate it. STAFF REPORTS Department Updates 3. Community Development Mr. Buscemi: Good evening Mayor and Council. They put me last, but I promise I'll be quick. We are going to start with sustainability. Ms. Stickels: They might be tired of hearing from me tonight. So this was under Consent, but we just wanted to point out every year the Atlanta Regional Commission offers, it's called Sustainable Connections. It's a program where they place college students in municipalities to do sustainability work. We have applied for one of those interns. There's no guarantee that we'll get them, it's fairly competitive. It will be a an unpaid position, but it would be, the student would be getting school credit for it. Anyhow, you all did approve that under Consent and I will let you know if we are lucky enough to receive one. If we do get one, the plan is to have them help us do research on hopefully moving from Green Communities Bronze level to Silver. That would be the project. It's a whole year long project that they would work on. Mr. Buscemi: Let's hope we get lucky there cause they could really use some extra help there and it's a nice program for them to work on. We're really trying to get our status up to Silver. CPAC, we had the draft plan Open House last Thursday evening. It was pretty well viewed, a lot of folks came. We had a nice turnout. We showed a video recapping the draft plan and the video actually came out quite nice. It's really professionally done. We got the Character Areas blown up on boards and we're looking to put them into the lobby now because they came out real nice, lot of Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 40 of 45 great feedback on those visuals. Future land use map was there and the short term work programs. The next step here would be we're going to be presenting the draft plan to Council on June 21St So we'll be in here with the full draft plan. The goal is to get everything out early so that everybody has a chance to read it, adjust it, we're going to do an executive summary so it helps everybody navigate through it. And then hopefully you can bring any questions you may have to that meeting so we can just answer questions at the meeting because it would be the draft plan presentation. On the Building department front, interviews are underway. We've been interviewing last week and we have some interviews this week. And we're -going through that cycle so the next time I present a staff update, I'm .hoping to be able to tell everybody that we have some really good key members that are looking to join the City. We are being picky on who we're getting, of course. We're really trying to vet everybody out and get the best we can. Might be a little bit of a gap there, depending on if the offers are working this week so even if we offer some folks this week, there might be a two. week gap, but I'm going to manage that gap. So we'll be okay. I don't think we'll be falling behind. We've been working with all the real big, large key developers to make sure we get everything that they need done this week or part of the plan for next week so I'm starting to roll out a short term plan just to make sure that transition is smooth and keep everybody moving along. What's happening, Fire Station 42. We're working on doing the septic soil borings infiltration testing on the adjoining property, the adjoining property already came to us and said they may be willing to give us the land at no charge as an easement and we said okay. So we're going to check to see if the soil is even suitable for it. If it is, it would save us because we wouldn't have to go all the way down the block to Bell Park, so that would be a big savings for the City. We already did the Former Milton Country Club, Tom did that and Providence Park, you know that one too. Okay, so we have four projects that we just wanted to show you tonight, keep you up to date on what's going in the department as far as projects. This one here is a large lot development. It's known as the Homestead, it's really the old former Trophy Club Golf Course. It's 190 acres total and they came in with a large lot layout so we recently have increased the amount to an unlimited amount of large lots under the program. So I want to thank you all 1 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 41 of 45 because this one comes in and now we can actually utilize that. We have 32 estate lots. They are ranging from around 3.5 to 10 acres. The smaller ones are a little bit around the lake so they're more internal, but you know lake front is a definitely a premium so they are trying to get in as many as they can around the lake. But for the most part, I think they've done a really, really nice job in laying out the roads, being sensitive to the environment out there with creek crossings and such. Making all the intersections have one way rise which I think really looks good and the cul-de-sacs instead of just circles, they made them into loops and I really think that landscape element is going to be very beneficial. So the way it all looks, it really came out nice. Some of the out parcels that were also part of this sale, on the one 6 acre lot what they did was they sold one 3 acre in the back and then the 3 acres in the front that fronts the road, the next door neighbor said oh, I want to buy it, so he came in and I believe he's purchasing that so from the roadway it will look visually very pleasing. They are coming in with an entrance and fencing scheme which I saw some preliminaries that look very nice and met the Milton standards. This came out very nice. The next one is Ms. Bentley: Bob, I have a comment. Mr. Buscemi: Okay. Ms. Bentley: I'm sorry to interrupt, but that's just fantastic to see 190 acres that could have been, something like that. That's a scary number. That's what I think we've been all working so hard for, so that's another high five. Thank you so much. Mr. Buscemi: Yes, it's really coming out nice. They actually have a video and they are doing really a great job on the marketing campaign for it. It was a two -minute video, I'm not going to show it tonight, but I saw it. They showed it to me and they've enhanced it since they've even shown it to me. They have Fuller doing the architecture so the concept is really coming along quite nice and if you want next month I think I can show you, I think it's a two - minute video and it really does show you the lots and the beautiful vistas that you're going to see. They're doing it more for marketing, but I think it'd be nice to share it so if it's okay with you all, I'll show it you next month. Mayor Lockwood: I'm going to add in thanks to Council for promoting these large lot Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 42 of 45 developments and whatnot along with staff taking it from there. Kudos to Council too. Mr. Buscemi: Yes, it's a big Council initiative. It's a totally a Council initiative and we just limiting the number of lots and then we came back and said there is such a great demand, why limit them? So then Council lifted that up. It's been working. Last month I showed you three that went to the larger lots and people have been calling me up and saying Bob, they're marketable, they're coming in and they are really, really in demand so then we're working on some of the large tracts in this size that potentially we can go to large lots too and try to work with those potential purchasers. So it's really been a win, it's working great. I do want to thank the Council, I think it's great for Milton. It's really been working and it's totally on a voluntary basis so it's really been working nicely. This here is in Crabapple. They're calling it the Gateway. Milton Library is to the bottom of the page so it's right across the street, it's that corner lot that's there. So last month I showed you John Gaston just to the left of that site that's right to the left is another sister building to what he has now, so I showed you that last month. This one would then finish that corner and the beauty of this is the development came in and is working with us on something that would be appropriate for the corner. He called it the Gateway because I keep saying it's the gateway into Milton and it's prominent and I want it to look really nice and we need a nice investment there. I really wanted to have a nice impact when you first pull into Milton, the first building that you're going to see so he said, gee Bob, I'm just going to name it the Gateway. The beauty is that he is putting in underground parking. He's got two levels of structured parking. So you know a few years ago everybody came and said geez why isn't the City building structured parking and we did a full plan and came back and said we just can't afford it. We'd have to buy the land, purchase the property, we'd have to build the building and then maintain it for perpetuity. And then everybody said, well, is it really going to be something that people would utilize, just have big surface lots because no body here is going to want structured parking. Well, I just did an inspection this morning of the structured parking garage Orkin and Associates is building right across the street. The lower level is now open to the public and the upper level, they are just holding off on because they have some tenant move in and out and he doesn't want to conflict with traffic. But it's structured, it's all buried behind, internal to the buildings so you don't really see if from the roadway. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 43 of 45 Then we have Beecham's over there is doing structured parking underneath his buildings. John Gaston came in last month and said he wants to build a sister building and he's going to do structured parking as well. And now this building here, Dennis Powell is actually working on this and he said gee Bob, the structured parking is the best alternative for me to utilize. And the nice part of this is the upper level will just look like surface parking from the road, from Mayfield, but then when you come in from the back side on Charlotte Drive or Heritage, when you come in the back then you'll be able to pull into the back. So I'm sort of using the same philosophy that I used for Orkin which is two tier no actual inner connection within the parking. So it works out really nice. I think this came out nice and it's going to be a nice addition to the finish this off. So then caddy corner on the other side are the two medical buildings that we have and they just came in and secured their LDP the other day so you will start to see where the old stone house is, you'll start to see activity occurring there. And we have two medical buildings initially they came in just looking for one and because of form based code they had really had to build two. They did, they built two separate buildings, they came out real nice. We had two or three different iterations through DRB to get them exactly the way we thought they should be, but the developer really stepped up and it's a very prominent doctor and I think it will be a nice addition to Milton. Mr. Moore: I know at one point there was some discussion about trying to reincorporate some of the stonework from the old house that was there. Is that still part of the plan? Mr. Buscemi: Yes, yes absolutely. We're taking the old stone. First we documented it, we had drawings made, we took photos so that we never forgot. And then we dismantled and maintain the stone and the new architecture incorporates all of that stone into the new exteriors. So I think it will have a nice historical content there, something to talk about. It was a lot of work. We went through a couple of iterations to get that just right. This one here is right down the block. This is Crabapple First Baptist, so this is right across the street from the school. And the picture on the left is what it looks like now and we worked with the architectural group to come up with a new fagade which is more like a porch that comes out. The drawing on the left is going to have new fagade, what you're seeing there on the left is almost a Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 44 of 45 two story three arches and it's all going to all be made out of heavy timber to mimic City Hall so you'll see this real heavy structural timber. There will be a steeple, I'm putting a steeple on it so we'll have our steeple in downtown Crabapple. I think it looks very much like an old time religious institution building. So there will be interior and exterior, the drawing you see on the bottom is actually a drop off from the back. They'll have a covered drop off so that they can have people coming and going without any rain issues. And they're going to redo the signage so on the left, you're seeing what that sign will look like from the roadway. So we're keeping them very much in the same architectural character as the rest of the signage of Milton. It's going to be wood timber and have the old sign with the nice little roof and I think it's all blending. So we're really starting to anchor the placemaking of downtown Crabapple is the key here. We're really starting to make it look like it's solid. So every little location, you're starting to see, I think there's a big difference between the right and the left photos. All right, this one here is in Crabapple too. It's on Crabapple Road. It's the last one I'm going to feed you tonight. If you remember, if you look at the top of this picture on the left, that's really the old Lee property that Ashton Woods came in and purchased from the Lees. The Lees still own the site that runs down on the left where you see the barn. And then the site owner on the right side that's highlighted in yellow, somebody has come in to purchase with the hopes of also purchasing the Lee property. So what we did though, is instead of just looking at it as individual lots, we're trying to look at this in its totality. I made them design the whole thing as if they owned both, just we can see how this looks when it's completed and developed fully. Right now you're seeing this one on the left which has the same points of interconnectivity just where they are. And then if you look at this one, the photo on the left, then shows how the whole build out would look if they acquire or the next person comes to buy the Lee property in the future. Either way, it would have parks, lots of greenspace, lots of pedestrian interconnectivity. You can see the trail plan. I'm trying to get the trail plan that continues, so we'll have the trail plan go all the way through here and make the connection. I think it's looking pretty nice and the way it is, we went through many iterations to get this as well. Just wanted to show it to you. Steve has wanted to show you what we're really doing. LJ n 1 1 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 24, 2021 Page 45 of 45 We're still working on all the other ones, like on Deerfield that are coming in, but since we showcased those I don't want repeat anything. I'll just wait for those to conclude. Okay that's it, if anybody has any questions. Mayor Lockwood: Any questions for Bob? No? Thank you, Bob. Mr. Buscemi: Thanks. Mayor Lockwood: If nobody has anything else, I will open up for a motion to adjourn. Mr. Mohrig: Motion to adjourn. Mr. Jamison: Second. Mayor Lockwood: I have a motion and a second to adjourn. All in favor, please say aye. All: Aye. Mayor Lockwood: That's unanimous. Thank you guys. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Mohrig moved to adjourn the City Council meeting at 7:51 pm. Councilmember Jamison seconded the motion. The motion passed (7-0). Date Approved: July 7, 2021
