I Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 6 of 46 REPORTS AND PRESENTATIONS Mayor Jamison: Any oppose? That's unanimous. Okay, so we will move on to reports and presentations. Will the City Clerk please say the first item? City Clerk: Mayor, that item is proclamation recognizing Memorial Day. Mayor? Mayor Jamison: Thank you. As we all know, we have Memorial Day coming up on May 30th. We're going to have our ceremony at Freedom Park that Monday from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. It's gonna hopefully, be fantastic weather and I hope everyone will come out and honor the Memorial Day. So, it is my honor to read this proclamation. Whereas, Memorial Day was first proclaimed on May 5th, 1868 by US Gen. John Logan and 100 years later, Congress determined that the holiday would occur annually on the last Monday of May; and Whereas, the first shots of the American Revolution through the Civil War, two World Wars, and more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, members of the US military have fought valiantly and served honorably; and Whereas, we will never forget the more than one million Americans who have died to preserve our freedom, as well as the tens of thousands who are prisoners of war or declared missing in action; and Whereas, the state of Georgia and Milton, particularly was home to many such men and women who selflessly answered the call to serve our nation and fought for freedom; and Whereas, on this Memorial Day, we honor those heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice and in so doing continue to inspire us; and Whereas, we invite the community to remember them during a special ceremony on May 30 at Milton's Freedom Park. Now therefore, we, the mayor and City Council of the city of Milton, Georgia, hereby dedicate and proclaim Monday, May 30, 2022 as Memorial Day in the city of Milton and call this observance to the attention of all our citizens. I This is given under my hand and seal in the City of Milton, Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 6 of 45 Georgia on the 16th day May of 2022. So, I hope everyone will ' come out Monday and have a good time. I guess there's no proclamation or any presentation for anybody else. City Clerk: Well, there'll be some that you might present at that actual ceremony and it will be from 10:00 to 11:00. Mayor Jamison: Great. And all the information is on the city website. So, we will move on to the next item. City Clerk: Next item is the community development update; our Community Development Director Mr. Bob Buscemi. Mr. Buscemi: Good evening, Mayor and Council. I promise to keep it as short as we can, but as you can see, I have the group here; part of the group. Not the whole group, but part of the group. The way we set things up, I really feel like we have a good, high -performing team. [00:12:08] We've set things up where everybody takes a lead on certain items. And then, it's their responsibility to get that accomplished and completed, and everybody is helping everybody but there's always a lead. So, I see groups coming up presenting their own individual accomplishments. We missed last month's ' report, so this month's a little longer. So, I'll just give you a couple quick ones. All right. So, with new employees, we have a new site inspector. The new site inspector started today; Craig. I'll have him come in at the next meeting. Every time we have a new employee start, we usually I let them slip until the next one and then I'll bring them in and introduce them to you. But he started today, so I think we got a good find. He was working with Forsyth County. He worked with Cherokee County. He had a lot of experience. So he'll be taking on Josh, who was in that role. And Josh moved over to Public Works to assist them so that left that open. So then, we filled it with Craig, and I'll introduce you to him next week. But I'm glad we found somebody good because it's one of those positions where it backs up real fast and we have a lot of inspections every day coming through. And the building official position is still open, but I have the interim building official here tonight just to give you some updates on what we've been doing with him. Fire station 42 site construction has started, so the project is ' underway officially and shop drawing submittals are in. So, in the Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 7 of 45 ' beginning, you have — while'they're doing some of the site work, we're doing all the shop drawings and submittals. That's when we're buying the project out, selecting all the products. Today, that's critical because of scheduling and product availability, so we have kind of changed my formula a little bit on how to run these things. We're buying everything out a whole lot earlier that we normally would. Normally, I would buy it out as we progress through. Now, I'm ordering windows and doors from day one. So, it's almost like you have — these things are almost a year out on some of them. That's kind of a crazy purchasing policy but I've really changed everything to maintain schedule. And then, cross training within the department has been another huge initiative. With the help from Steve, we've really pushed on cross training. It's an initiative that I really wanted to start. We've created a department training program, so cross training is, everybody's kind of helping out, teaming, and everybody's training from one another within the department. So, that's been working ' out really well. We're also doing a lot of field training, so the staff is going out in the field. So, a building official might take somebody out with him and say okay, this is what I'm looking at. This is what it looks like. Somebody else takes you out and says, this is what the site looks like. There's a foundation. This is what we're looking at. It's really important because I think people who just stay in the office aren't seeing what's physically out there and the people that are out in the sites aren't seeing what's in the office. So, they're sort of training each other, so we getting much even review process and everybody kinds educates each other. We work together as a team. It's been very successful and it's something that I think is really better than been tracking everything with Bernadette; hours of training, what we're training, courses we're taking, really just not going for a convention or something but really taking a course where you get a certificate and you sort of elevate your standing in the profession of what it is that you're looking to do. And Bernadette's been helping me track everything. We're doing all the SLPs and getting everything in. And I told Steve this morning, all of this is really helping. ' I can honestly report to you all that everything I'm doing is just really nurturing and helping the team to work. So, I think it's really Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page S of 45 great. I told you about Project Teams, where we're grouping up so ' everybody's in a team. Nobody's working alone. Somebody's the lead, but there's always somebody behind him. You go on vacation, you want to ask a question, you sort of want to team up so you're not doing anything individually. You're not just out there alone. So, it's kinda nice to have somebody to work with as a group. And then, board training, we'll have Robyn get up and talk about board training because we've been doing a lot of board training. Ms. MacDonald: Good evening, Mayor and City Council. So, with the change in January, we have a lot of new members of our various boards. So, we've been working hard on having training for them to get them ready for their new jobs. So, January 26 we had training by our City Attorney Paul Fricke to the planning commission. And then in February 24, staff presented the Deerfield Highway 9 corridor what's going on with that. And then, on March 23, we had a presentation of the comp plan update 20/40, the short-term work program so that the Planning Commission can get up to date on where we were with them at that point in time. They've asked us to give monthly updates on the comp plan and ' our status of our short-term work program to keep them up-to-date on how that's going. February 15, the Board of Zoning Appeals, along with the design review board have a joint training again by the city attorney. And then, the Atlanta Regional Commission sponsors a great training for our board members. And so, we had one of our members from Planning Commission attend that. It was a four -session training, a hybrid. A couple of them were in person, a couple of them were online and I think she got a lot out of that. And hoping that some more people will be able to participate if they have a fall offering. So, staff is trying to give the tools to our new board members and commission members so that they feel comfortable and feel confident in doing what they've been asked to do. So, thank you. Mr. Buscemi: Now, we'll have the Building Department, Joe, the interim Building Inspector, Chief Building Official. He'll be giving a — they've been doing a lot of updates on policies and procedures. Keep that up, keep it running and even get our ISO rating because there is an ISO rating on buildings and we're looking at that as well. I Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 9 of 45 1 Mr. Stapleton: Good evening, Mayor, City Council, how are you this evening? I would like to mention that there's several different things that I've identified as a result of evaluating the building department. One was the certificates of occupancy form that's currently been updated. The ISO rating is very important. Also, there is another rating, the International Accreditation Service, which is something that the city might want to consider in the long-term. I will say this, that you do have a great team here in the Community Development Department. They have been instrumental in allowing me to assess the department and change a lot of different things and make improvements. So, I will say this. In the short-term, standard operating procedures are being looked at currently right now, and departmental policies so, that's pretty much it at this particular moment in time. But if there's any questions for me, please let me know. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. ' Mr. Buscemi: And I'm just going to have different staffs come up. We're going to talk about bonds, what we've done with the bonds and then City View Workshop which we've been telling you we wanted to do, which we did. So, they'll go through that. The Planner of the Day update because that's been very successful. Our strategic plan, War Room, our project management initiatives, our Highway 9 beautification initiative, our tree canopy study, which I think you'll be proud of. We're doing it in-house rather than a consultant, and our place making and branding. So, we'll just go through some of those. And then, at the end, the permit techs will get up and tell you how many permits we've been getting and how it looks. Ms. Wildes: Good evening, Mayor, Council. In line with the review of our standard operating procedures, staff has conducted a thorough review of our bond process as it relates to development bonds collected during the LDP process. Typically, our department collects three bonds: a development bond, an erosion control bond, and a landscape bond for trees. These bonds are secured in the event the developer is unable to complete all work within the project scope outlined in the construction drawings. There are two types of bonds that are accepted, a cash bond or a paper, bond ' provided through a surety company. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 10 of 45 And this review has allowed staff to do several things. Number ' one, work with legal and confirm the accuracy of our bond agreements, create a standard operating procedure for collecting and reimbursing bonds, documenting and clarifying bond requirements for developers. And then, it's allowed us to increase our coordination with the finance department for tracking all bonds and for recording their status. Ms. Schnarre: Good evening, Mayor and Council. As Bob mentioned, we recently held a City View public training. This was something that we really wanted to roll out so that we could talk to members of the community, so different contractors and homeowners who may be using this process and really give them an overview of the permitting process and then also dive in on frequently asked questions. We had nine people attend and we did it back in April, and we were able to have a really extensive and productive question answer session. So, I think we were able to identify some major problems and then also solve some solutions and get some good feedback from them. Mr. Cardamon: Good evening, Mayor and Council. The Planner of the Day started ' on March 4 and since that time, we have processed over 170 questions. When a question is resolved, it is checked off in the POD tracker. Our goal is a 24-hour response. Another great feature is we are able to log repeat questions, and you'd be surprised how many repeat questions we get throughout the week. This allows us to give a unified and accurate response when we reply to questions. Overall, this is a fast track of POD the last two months. I appreciate your time. Ms. Lim: Mayor and Council, tonight I want to to show to you our strategic plan and short-term work program [inaudible] 100:23:59]. So, as Bob said, it's really an exciting time and busy time for our department and we have several exciting projects coming up this year. One of these projects is the execution of our short-term work program year one projects, so, it's pretty exciting. As part of our approach to managing multiple projects, we have set up a war room. And as you can see, we have maps, pictures, and a spreadsheet of all our projects. So, this room is designated for us for collaboration meetings with team leaders and various stakeholders. So, if you happen to be in ' the Com Dev area, please stop by and pick out a room. Thank you. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 11 of 45 Ms. Schnarre: Me and Jackie have recently been working on the Com Dev project management initiative. This is really about creating visual boards for us to focus our long-term projects on. So, what you're seeing at the bottom of the screen is actually examples of some of the project management boards that we've created. And these are basically outlines to most of our long-term projects. So, this is how Com Dev is kind of keeping a finger on these. So, as you all come and walk through Com Dev, you'll see these at the end of our desks, visually checking off all of our progress as the project progresses. Ms. Jangam: Good evening, Mayor and Council. This is Shubha Jangam and Chris. Mr. Williams: Good evening, Mayor and Council. Ms. Jangam: So, based on the input we received from some of the councilmembers, there is a strong desire to scale up the look on the Highway 9 corridor. As a first step, we have actually looked ahead, analyzing what's there and making businesses comply with the ' current code. So, planners, many of us, and Code Compliance working together on this project, we have identified more than 300 businesses on the Highway 9 corridor. We have taken pictures of their buildings, premises, and signs and code enforcement is reviewing their property maintenance issues, and I'm particularly looking into the signs to make sure they are in compliance with our sign code. What you're seeing on the screen here is a GIS map where it's all going to be documented and it's going to be an interactive map later on. You can click on the business and find out if they are in compliance or in violation. So, that's in the works right now. So, essentially, this is a database that we can actually update periodically. That's the plan. Ms. DeWitt: Good evening, Mayor and Council. So, I am here to talk to you about the tree canopy study. As you may be aware, the tree conservation canopy ordinance requires the city to conduct a tree canopy study in the fall of 2022. So, we are beginning preparation for that. Right now, we are in the research phase and we are looking at the previous studies that were conducted in 2012 and 2017 which were done using the i-Tree Canopy software. So, we're ' looking at using that software or if we can do something a little better than the i-Tree Canopy. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 12 of 46 So, we're doing the research for that. I'm going to be working with ' Emily on that in Com Dev. She is now our new GIS person so, our target is to have it completed by November 2020, and we will be back to report the results to you then. Thank you. Ms. Jupin: Good evening, Mayor and Council. Tonight, I'd just like to share a brief overview of our placemaking initiative that we've begun working on and why this is so important. Placemaking is the philosophy and a practical process for transforming public spaces. At its heart, it is a people -centered approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces. So, today, I simply wanted to share more about this creative process and how it's beginning to take shape and really come to life. At Bob's suggestion, I have included an image of a roadmap that we sketched out in its purest form, which are my messy notes. But Bob has turned his sketches on a piece of paper or on a whiteboard into this beautiful building that we are sitting in tonight. So, I have full trust in him that sharing that piece is critical for you to see where these ideas are all beginning. This roadmap here has a five -step process to really get the community involved in observing, planning, and really help shaping a place. In step one, I you can't see it so I'll highlight them for you. It's defined place and identify stakeholders. In step one, we're identifying our entry points, marking the businesses in each character area, and identifying the stakeholders that are key to involve in the process from the very beginning and to keep them involved throughout. In step two, were evaluating space and identifying issues. We're exploring the possibility of placemaking workshops, pop-up engagement, creative [inaudible] [00:30:031 engagement and we're looking to take some valuable lessons from our neighboring municipalities to not only develop our brand but reveal it. And now, step three, this is the part we have been referring to as the heartbeat of this process. This is the place vision. This step is where we hope to identify our mission, our statement goal. This is where we will develop a unique description for each character area, complete with concept plans and action plans. Step four refers to short-term experiments and and management. That will include things like public art, local programming, and lighter development projects. ' And step five is long-term improvements and ongoing Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 13 of 45 ' reevaluation. Creating great places is an ever -evolving process, ensuring that the vision for a space always mirrors the goals of community is arguably the most crucial part of this process. So, I look forward to providing more updates as we continue to make progress on this initiative. We are looking to find a firm that we can partner with, that we can lean on to provide expertise while still keeping this a grassroots effort. This is really exciting. It's very energizing. Milton is a unique city and we look forward to showing the community just how powerful their collective vision can be. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Ms. Citta: Good evening, Mayor and Council, and other staff members. Rema and I quickly just have some numbers to report. We have been going through creating the Georgia storm water report for other staff members and it's a bimonthly report. And with that, we have discovered that we have processed over 300 permit applications in the last two months, a third of that being building, a third of that ' being trade permits, and the other third is pool, plumbing, sign permits, just various permits that people submit for throughout the day. So, that gives us about an average of eight, nine permits that we have to view every single day and that Rema has to issue permits for every day. So, we'll keep these updated a little bit better as we learn the system a little bit more, since we've switched over to City View. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any questions? CM Cookerly: No questions for you, but thank you all to the staff. That was a really fun presentation to hear all of you and to see your participation and your contribution. Mayor Jamison: A lot of good work ahead, thanks, Bob. Mr. Buscemi: Sure, [inaudible] [00:33:101. CM Moore: Yeah, top of our list of things to do today? Mr. Buscemi: [Inaudible - Crosstalk]. ' CM Cookerly: Are you buying dinner for them afterwards? Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 14 of 46 CM Moore: Thank you all very much. ' Mayor Jamison: Okay, will the City Clerk please sound on the next item. City Clerk: Mayor, that next item is discussion of RZ 2204, a text amendment to prohibit outdoor storage in the Crabapple Form -Based code, Article 19, Crabapple Form -Based Code. Ms. Robyn MacDonald. Ms. MacDonald: Okay. Again, good evening, Mayor and City Council. Tonight, we are going to be discussing the text amendments to the Zoning Board minutes regarding the prohibition of outdoor storage in Crabapple Deerfield Form -Based Codes. The purpose and the objective, I'm sorry, these text amendments is to ensure the beautification of the Crabapple and Deerfield Form -Based Code the commercial retail areas. The objective of these text amendments is to codify the prohibition of the storage or sale of goods in parking lots or other areas outside of the interior or permanently sheltered portions of a building. So, you can see over here one of our target items that we, in the past, have had issues with in the primarily Deerfield Form -Based Code area and we'll continue on talking about that. At the March ' 22nd CZIM meeting, there were no comments on this subject for this text amendment. The planning commission unanimously recommended approval of these two text amendments at their April 27th meeting, as presented by staff. Like I said before, historically, there have been issues with placement of drop off boxes for clothing or other items for charities in parking lots within the Deerfield Form -Based Code retail shopping areas. Currently, there are prohibitions within the traditional zoning districts, such as CI, ONI, MIX. Really, what we have left of those are up at Birmingham Crossroads. But there are no prohibitions specific to the Form -Based Code and that's what, within that code, we have to go by what is within that portion of the Form -Based Codes in Deerfield and Crabapple. So, that's why we're bringing this to you as a text amendment. There are occasions when an administrative permit is issued for seasonal sales, such as Christmas trees or fireworks stands, which would be permitted by an administrative permit. So, there are certain exceptions to be able to have those type uses in parking lots and other areas. So, this is the proposed text amendment. They're exactly the same for both Deerfield and Crabapple but basically, it ' states the storage of goods or sale of goods in parking lots and Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 15 of 45 other areas outside of the interior or permanently sheltered portions of the building is prohibited, except as expressly permitted in Chapter 64 zoning. And then, under A, the sale of goods displayed under sheltered portions of a building shall be brought inside the building prior to closing of the business. So, this picture to the right of the Twisted Thread, they do a great job of exactly what we're talking about, where you may have display. There is a portion of the building that covers that area and they bring in the display every night and so, that's really what we want to see as far as display and nearby adjacent to the buildings, but also addressing the issue of various items getting placed in parking lots. So, I'm happy to answer any questions you guys might have on the subject or you're okay with it. There'll be a first reading right after this and then, you'll make a vote on it in the first meeting in June. Mayor Jamison: Robyn, so I know there's more to the code than we're looking at tonight, but is that like seasonal things, when you've got, I don't ' know, right now probably not a good example. What is a good example? I'm not sure it's within our footprint, but like Home Depot, if it's seasonal plantings and they want to bring in racks and racks and racks and expand their display into the parking lot area. Is that covered by this? Ms. MacDonald: Not exactly. That was all — Mayor Jamison: Not necessarily, Home Depot as as the example, but — Ms. MacDonald: — done prior to the — no, that was built and permitted before we became the City of Milton, so they're grandfathered, that example of the Home Depot or sometimes Walmart. Walmart's pretty good about keeping it within the building area. But like for instance, every year of the, they come with their tent permit for their Christmas trees and greenery and that gets permitted through us for their additional storage. Mayor Jamison: Okay, thank you. Any questions? Okay. Ms. MacDonald: Sounds good. Mayor Jamison: Will the City Clerk please tell the next item? ' City Clerk: Mayor, to read the next item into the record, it's the discussion of Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 16 of 45 RZ2205, a text amendment to prohibit outdoor storage in the ' Deerfield Form -Based Code Article 20, Deerfield Form -Based Code, which Robyn just spoke of. FIRST PRESENTATION Mayor Jamison: Okay, so we'll on the first presentations. Would you please say on the first item? City Clerk: That item is consideration of U22-02 to request a use permit for an indoor auditorium, section 64-1846 at 12630 Crabapple Road, Suite 340 by Itaska Walk, LLC. Agenda item number 22-161. Our B item, it's consideration of RZ2204, a text amendment to prohibit outdoor storage in the Crabapple Form -Based Code Article 19, Crabapple Form -Based Code, agenda item number 22- 162.

City Clerk: Mayor, that item is consideration of the issuance of an alcohol beverage license to H&KP Holdings LLC, doing business as Savi Provisions at 12630 Crabapple Road, Suite 120 in Milton, agenda item number 22-164. Our Assistant City Manager, Ms. Bernadette Harvill. Ms. Harvill: Good evening, Mayor and Council. You have before you an application for an alcohol beverage license to be issued to H&KP Holdings LLC, doing business as Savi Provisions. The business is located at 12630 Crabapple Road, Suite 120 right here in downtown Milton. The applicant originally applied last summer and is not restricted by any of the moratoriums that have been enacted over the past seven months. The application is for an off -premises retail package store selling beer and wine, including Sunday sales. Savi Provisions has also applied for the add -on license of a craft beer and/or wine market for both beer and wine. Here you can see the signage that they put out. As a reminder, the add -on license for a craft beer and wine market has a few requirements with which the applicant must comply, including an interior floor space of which 60% or more is devoted to the retail sales of craft beer and/or wine for consumption off premises, food preparation for grocery sales, including shelving and displays. Sixty percent of the gross sales must be derived from retail package beer or wine for off premises consumption, prepared food in meals, groceries, or any combination thereof. And consumption on premises may only occur Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. You can see the floor plan for Savi Provisions on the screen in front of you, and they are in compliance with the 60% requirement and their affidavit for food and beverage sales ratios is also in compliance with code. On the map before you shows the location of the business in relation to other businesses in downtown Milton that are licensed to sell alcohol, as well as those that are pending approval. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. And ' I'll be back before you later this evening during new business to obtain an official vote on whether to proceed with the issuance of Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 18 of 45 this license. I Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any public comment, Tammy? City Clerk: Yes, we do. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Attorney Sard: Good evening, Mr. Mayor, Councilmembers. My name is Michael Sard. I'm an attorney at Sard & Leff Attorneys. I'm here representing the applicant. Mr. Dishang Patel is here. Love your support of this application. We'll reserve the rest of our time, and be happy to answer any questions that we can for you. Mayor Jamison: Will you say your address also? Attorney Sard: My address is 3789 Roswell Road, Atlanta 30342. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Appreciate it. Attorney Sard: Thank you. Mayor Jamison: All right. I will close the — any more? Is that it? ' City Clerk: That's all, Mayor. Mayor Jamison: Okay, so I'll close the public hearing. Any questions for Bernadette? Okay. If we will call the next item, please. City Clerk: Mayor, that next item is consideration of the issuance of an alcohol beverage license to H&KP Holdings LLC, doing business as The Liquor Market at 12630 Crabapple Road, Suite 150 in Milton. It's agenda item number 22-165. Bernadette? Ms. Harvill: Before you is an additional license for H&KP Holdings LLC, this time doing business as The Liquor Market. The business is located at 12630 Crabapple Road, Suite 150, right next door. The applicant originally applied last summer, again, and is not restricted by any of the moratoriums that have been enacted over the past seven months. This application is for an off -premises retail package store selling distilled spirits, including Sunday sales. No application for an ancillary tasting license has been made at this time. A warrant for the liquor selling establishment was issued for this ' location on August 19, 2021, as is currently required by Chapter Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 19 of 45 ' 64. The following products are prohibited from being sold in the location, either by Chapter 4 or the language within the warrant that was issued by Community Development. No CBD or vape products, no games of chance or lottery products, no video games or tobacco products and the hours of operation are right there below that are specifically specified by the warrant. These differ slightly from within Chapter 4, but that is what that is what their warrant allows. Again, you can see the location right next door to Savi Provisions. And I will be happy to answer any questions that you may have and we will vote later this evening. Mayor Jamison: Any public comment? City Clerk: Yes, Mr. Michael Sard? Attorney Sard: For the record, Michael Sard, Sard & Leff Attorneys, 3789 Roswell Road Atlanta 30342, here representing the applicant. Happy to answer any questions. ' Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Attorney Sard: Thank you. Mayor Jamison: Any more? I'll close public hearing. Any questions? Paul. CM Moore: Bernadette, these are literally next door to each other, aren't they? Ms. Harvill: I'm sorry, sir? CM Moore: Two locations, the one, the application just prior to this and this one are literally next door to one another. Ms. Harvill: Yes. By law, there has to be two separate suites in order to have a distilled spirit sale, so the applicant is in compliance with those rules by having these two separate suites next door to each other. CM Moore: And so, are they intending to be complementary to one another? Is that the whole point of the two applications and the side -by -side, or are they independent operators? Ms. Harvill: If you'd like to talk to the applicant, I will have him come up and answer that question. I have not asked that question directly. ' CM Moore: Okay, yeah, if you don't mind. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 20 of 45 Ms. Harvill: Yeah, would you like that? ' Mayor Jamison: Real quick, hey, Kenge, can we do this now or should it be later on? Attorney Jarrard: The decision, obviously, would be made later but you have every right to ask the questions now. It's perfectly in order. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Attorney Sard: Good evening. To answer your question, so, it's the same ownership same operators. They're really just separate businesses but the intent is that they will feed off of one another if that's the right way to say it. CM Moore: Are they complementary to one another or are they going to have competing — Attorney Sard: No. They're definitely going to have competing products. The liquor store is literally selling distilled spirits only. And then, the Savi Provisions, from an alcohol perspective, is selling beer and wine. There is no common products between the two. I CM Moore: Okay. Thank you. Attorney Sard: Thank you. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any other questions? All right, we'll move onto the next item. City Clerk: Mayor, that next item is consideration of the issuance of an alcohol beverage license just serving Crabapple doing business as Milton's Cuisine and Cocktails at 800 Mayfield Road, Milton, Georgia. And it's agenda item number 22-166. Ms. Bernadette Harvill. Ms. Harvill: Our final alcohol beverage license application for this evening is for serving Crabapple doing business as Milton's Cuisine and Cocktails. They too, are located in downtown Milton at 800 Mayfield Road. This business holds an active license for consumption on premises for beer, wine, and distilled spirits, including Sunday sales. The application before you is for the add - on license to be an alcoholic beverage caterer. This allows a licensed retailer to transport and serve alcohol at off- ' site events. Each event hosted within the city limits will also Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 21 of 46 ' require an approved catered event permit. These individual caterer permits are free for the resident caterers for those whose businesses are authorized and licensed by City Council. And just for location of where the business is located right there at the traffic light. I'll be happy to answer any questions that you may have, and again, we'll be voting later this evening. Mayor Jamison: Any public comment? City Clerk: The applicant is here or the representative is here if you have questions, but no public comment. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Thank you. Any questions? All right, we'll close a public hearing and move onto the next item. Ms. Harvill: Thank you. City Clerk: Mayor, that item is consideration of a moratorium regarding permits for display and sale of adult video or printed material and/or adult instruments, etc., agenda item number 22-167. Mr. ' Ken Jarrard. Attorney Jarrard: Members of the Counsel, this is a public hearing. I will handle the lead-in. On April 18th, the City Council imposed a time sensitive moratorium that prohibited applications for building permits, LDPs, or any other sort of regulatory permit for adult bookstores. The Milton zoning code defines an adult bookstore as an establishment or facility licensed to do business in the city, having a minimum of 25% of its stock in trade comprised of the following sorts of items: books, magazines, periodicals DVDs, CDs, novelties, paraphernalia, etc. all depicting various specified sexual activities. And what the city of Milton is doing right now is taking a look at your adult bookstore definition and thinking about whether or not that 25% limitation makes sense and whether or not we need to retool how we are, in fact, defining this sort of activity. And to do that, you need time and so, on April 18th, we put in place.a 30-day moratorium following a public hearing, which the mayor will call in just a few moments. Then, when you get to this under the next section of the agenda, if you adopt this resolution we will be extending this moratorium quite a bit longer. ' In fact, we'll be extending it until December 19th. That will be enough time for us to consider this issue, put together something to Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 22 of 45 rework it, bring it back to you for the requisite number of public , hearings and then hopefully have in place a different sort of adult bookstore definition that may be more consistent with what Milton is looking for. Mr. Mayor, we do need to have a public hearing, no action until we get to it later in the agenda. Mayor Jamison: All right. Thank you. Any public comment? City Clerk: We do not, Mayor. Mayor Jamison: All right. Any questions for Ken? All right, so we will move on to our next item. City Clerk: Mayor, that next item is consideration of an emergency resolution of the city of Milton extending existing combined moratorium on the acceptance of new alcohol applications for craft beer and/or wine markets, limited tap establishments, limited services restaurants, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, micro distilleries, and consumption on premises other than incidental service, BYOB, farm wineries, golf courses, hotels, special event facilities, or eating establishments in the city of Milton and on the acceptance of applications for development permits, building ' permits, rezonings, modification variances, use permits, warrants, and any other permit provided in the zoning ordinance for use of property for craft beer and/or wine markets, limited tap establishments, limited services restaurants, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, micro distilleries, and consumption on premises other than incidental service, BYOB, farm wineries, golf courses, hotels, special event facilities, or eating establishments in the city of Milton. It is agenda item number 22-168. Ms. Bernadette Harvill. Ms. Harvill: Good evening again. Before you is an emergency resolution to extend the existing combined moratorium, related to the acceptance of applications for the plethora of items that our City Clerk just read off, and I'll spare you from rereading them. They are related to the consumption on premises and establishments that do not qualify as our traditional eating establishment or some of the specified ones we have for incidental service BYOB farm wineries, golf courses, etc. And here before you can see a timeline of the moratorium process that has been in place providing a ban on the acceptance of these related applications while staff has worked with the planning ' commission and Council to draft edits to Chapter 64 zoning as it Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 23 of 45 1 pertains to alcohol -related businesses. We initially started the moratorium process back in October 2021. Here are the key dates and occurrences that have led to the request for a moratorium on these applications. In the summer of 2021, staff started receiving applications for business concepts that were not contemplated under Chapter 4 at that time. Throughout the fall, staff brought forward a series of edits to Chapter 4 and had some in-depth discussion with counsel related to new business concepts that included consumption on premises but did not qualify as a traditional restaurant or eating establishment. Feedback from those conversations led to the drafting of RZ 2114, which included the issuance of administrative variances for such activity. When RZ 2114 made its way to the planning commission, there was a request for a joint work session with the Council to discuss concerns that the commissioners were having. The joint work session was held on December 6, 2021 and the result was a new direct from the staff to change the approach from administrative variances to Council issued use permits. That joint ' work session yielded a new timeline and new edits to the Chapter 64 under RZ 2203. Staff said additional feedback and clarification of the February 14 City Council work session to ensure that the standards and conditions and the use permits were in line with the Council's vision. Those edits were brought before CZIM on March 22, 2022, and to the Planning Commission on April 27, 2022. At the Planning Commission meeting, the commissioners deferred the item and requested additional time to review the material. On the moratorium before you, should you approve it later this evening, would extend the ban on those applications and provide staff another opportunity to reconvene with the Planning Commission, then bring the item back before Council. So, this will be an emergency moratorium for 33 days and then, Robyn and her team would advertise and extend it the entire time needed to do all the rest of the processing due to the deferral. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Ms. Harvill: Absolutely. Mayor Jamison: Any public comment? Okay. So, I will close the public hearing. Any questions? Okay. Thank you. So, there are no items under ' zoning agenda or unfinished business. Moving on to new business, will City Clerk please read the zoning rules and say the first item? Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 24 of 45 NEW BUSINESS I City Clerk: Mayor, that new business item is consideration of a moratorium regarding permits for display and sale of adult video or printed material, and/or adult instruments, etc. It's agenda item number 22- 167 and we do have one public comment. Mayor Jamison: Okay. City Clerk: I would like to call Mr. Strong to the podium, please. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Mr. Strong: Thank you. Good evening, Mayor, Council, and staff. My name is Steve Strong, 1646 Manhasset Farm Road, Dunwoody 30338. I am a licensed professional engineer and executive in the electronics industry and a long-time businessperson looking to exit the large corporate world and start a small business of my own. In this particular case, the business in question is a small upscale welcoming specialty boutique -type of establishment. I'm looking at Watercress Village which is just a tiny little piece. It's barely inside of Milton, surrounded by Alpharetta. ' The pertinent portion of this resolution, from what I've read, the items and concern are what in the industry would be considered pleasure products. And nothing else in the definition applies to my particular business. Basically, the way I like to describe the business in question is, it's Victoria's Secret meets CVS. It presents as a very upscale lingerie boutique with approximately 80% of the store being comprised of apparel, including lingerie, men and women, and a substantially smaller portion, less than 20%, being the products in question as part of this resolution. It's also important to note that CVS in the city of Milton already has a actually pretty impressive display open for everyone who walks through this door of the products in question. So, this is not something new to the city of Milton. It's already been sold and is being sold. One difference is, of course, in CVS, anybody is allowed to walk through the aisle with those products on display. In our case, it's a company policy that it would be customers 18 and over only, not because of any legislative or ordinance requirements but just simply a company policy to help prevent — let's face it, it'll typically be teenage boys coming in looking at ' lingerie and kind of being disruptive in general to paying Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 25 of 45 customers. So, I would say the two main takeaways for you all to consider is one, like I said, the products in question are already being sold in the city, so this is not something new. What is new is the fact that I'm trying to meet a perceived market need. It is something truly unique in the city of Atlanta and I would dare say unique in the state of Georgia in that this is not what you think of as the definition uses the term adult bookstore. As a matter of fact, it's our number one priority to not be considered an adult bookstore or any other form of sexually oriented business because of the fact that we do present as that specialty upscale boutique with highly trained staff. They receive continuing education on a monthly basis and we are there quite simply to help fulfill a market need to help couples of all kinds enhance their romantic lives. I do have, if it helps, a real estate brochure that I made up that gives some more details. If you wish to see it, I can leave it with you, of course, if you have any questions. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Thank you. Feel free to leave it with our city attorney. Thanks. Any other public comment, Tammy? City Clerk: That is all, Mayor. Mayor Jamison: Okay, so I'll close the public comment. Any questions, comments before I open it for a motion? Okay. Motion. CM Cookerly: I'm not sure how I would ask my question. Mayor Jamison: That motion will work just fine. CM Cookerly: Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve agenda item number 22-167 as read. CM Moore: Second. Mayor Jamison: Okay. I have a motion from Councilmember Cookerly and a second from Councilmember Moore to approve agenda item number 22-167. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. CM Johnson: Aye. CM Moore: Aye.

Councilmember Moore seconded the motion. The motion passed (4- 0). Councilmember Verhoff, Councilmember Jacobus, and Councilmember Mohrig were absent from the meeting. Mayor Jamison: Any opposed? That's unanimous. Will City Clerk please say the next item? City Clerk: It's the consideration of an emergency resolution of the city of Milton extending existing combined moratorium of the acceptance of new alcohol applications for craft beer and/or wine markets, limited tap establishments, limited service restaurants, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, micro distilleries, and consumption on premise other than incidental service, BYOB, farm wineries, golf courses, hotels, special event facilities, or eating establishments in the city of Milton and on the acceptance of applications for development permits, building permits, rezoning, modifications variances, use permits, warrants, or any other permit provided in the zoning ordinance for use of property for craft beer and or wine markets, limited tap establishments, limited service restaurants, breweries, microbreweries, distilleries, micro distilleries, and consumption on premises other than incidental services, BYOB, farm wineries, golf course, hotels, special event facilities, or eating establishments in the city of Milton, agenda item number 22-168. Ms. Bernadette Harvill? Ms. Harvill: Before you is that 33-day extension giving community development enough time to advertise and do the more lengthy moratorium, should you want more time to consider this item. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any public comment? City Clerk: There are none. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Close the public hearing. Any questions for Bernadette? Okay. Open it up for a motion.

City Clerk: Mayor, that next item is consideration of a resolution of the Mayor ' and Council of the city of Milton, Georgia, authorizing a one-time premium payment for eligible city employees using funds received under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, agenda item number 22-169.Our Deputy City Manager, Ms. Stacey Inglis. Ms. Inglis: Good evening, Mayor and Council. If it's okay, I'll do my little presentation from up here. I really don't have much of a presentation. I spoke to you a few weeks back about different eligible uses for the ARPA funds and you were interested in providing premium pay to our employees. And so, the resolution before you is codifying what you want to do for the employees. Just to summarize, the premium pay would be $600.00 per month during the eligible time period, which is March 17, 2020 and March 22, 2021 for a period of one year. It will be $600.00 per month for sworn officers and firefighters that worked in person during that time for the amount of months that they worked in -person at the time. So, if they started in the middle of that, they'll get paid for half of it. And then, $200.00 per month for non-swom people, civilian employees who also worked in - person during that time. Part-time personnel would be prorated based on the number of hours that they worked. And it would be one time lump sum payments and all applicable eligible employer ' taxes will be paid and employee taxes will be paid. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 28 of 45 And then, all this would be funded by the ARPA funds. The total amount to come out of the ARPA funds is $638,800.00. That's the maximum amount that would come out for this particular eligible use. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any public comment, Tammy?

The final plat revision is a nine single- family lot with a total of 12.147 acres with a density of 0.74 acres lots per acre. It's agenda item number 22-170. Our Land Development Manager Ms. Tracie Wildes. Ms. Wildes: Mayor and Council, the revision to the Kingsley Estate final plats is before you tonight for consideration. This is a 96 lot subdivision on 145.40 acres that was developed in six phases, and each phase was platted separately. Kingsley Estate is located on the far north end of the city just before the Fulton Cherokee County line with an entrance off of Birmingham Highway and another entrance off of ' Freemanville Road. The graphic to the right identifies phases, the Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 33 of 45 ' plats by phase, and by units In accordance with the HOAs request to privatize the subdivision, the final plat revision is to convert the public streets and public easements to private ingress, egress, and utility easements in accord with the resolution approved by Milton City Council on December 6, 2021. All of the existing public streets are to become common area, owned and maintained by the HOA in this revision applies to all plats recorded for Kingsley Estates. This graphic represents the abandonment process and we are in the final stage of this process. The abandonment process started in 2018 with the initial application submittal from the HOA. Since then, it has gone through two public hearings, the latter of which occurred on December 6, 2021 and a resolution to approve that abandonment was at that hearing. After this resolution was approved, the next step was for the HOA to submit a subdivision plat meeting all of our requirements within Chapter 50 and tonight it's before you for that approval. If it's approved tonight, then the next step is to ' record this revised plat and a quit claim deed to abandon the right- of-way will be executed. All of the plats executed by each phase, again, is on the left and then a summary of the right-of-way area and the easement within each phase and unit is identified to the right. All of the plat information and documents submitted do meet our requirements for city code and I'll welcome any questions. Mayor Jamison: Thank you. Any public comment, Tammy? City Clerk: There are none, sir. Mayor Jamison: Okay. Close the public comment any questions for Tracie? Paul. CM Moore: Tracie, in the process to secure the opportunity to go forward with the city, the HOA had to conduct the survey of the residents. In your chart, I believe it showed 100% compliance or 100% support from the community. Is that an accurate statement? Ms. Wildes: I'm not certain. I would have to defer to Ms. Sara Leaders, Public Works but she's been in communication with with the HOA. ' CM Moore: You don't have any idea what the percentage was? Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 34 of 45 Ms. Wildes: I do not. ' Mayor Jamison: Any other questions? Okay. Open it for a motion. CM Cookerly: Mr. Mayor, I make a motion that we approve agenda item number 22-170. CM Moore Second. Mayor Jamison: Okay. I have a motion from Councilmember Cookerly and a second from Councilmember Moore to approve the agenda item number 22-170. Is there any discussion? Okay. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. CM Johnson: Aye. CM Moore: Aye. CM Cookerly: Aye. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Cookerly moved to approve Agenda Item No. 22-170. Councilmember Moore seconded the motion. The motion passed (4- I 0). Councilmember Verhoff, Councilmember Jacobus, and Councilmember Mohrig were absent from the meeting. MAYOR AND COUNCIL REPORTS Mayor Jamison: Any opposed? That's unanimous. Thank you. We will move on to Council reports. Does Council have anything to say? Okay. So, we'll move on to police. STAFF REPORTS Police Chief Austin: Greetings, Mayor and Council. All right, technology is working now. Currently, crime is up a tad. We're up 12 cases from this time last year. However, half of those were driven by burglaries to storage units within one single complex. Of course, those have to be listed as six separate crimes. However, the cases were quickly solved by our detectives working with other local agencies. An arrest has been made in that case. A crash overview, we're also up slightly by eight accidents. One area where we're seeing crashes up significantly is in the construction area at Bethany Bend & ' Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 35 of 45 Hopewell Road. I'm sure you've all been there and seen obstacles that our drivers are seeing there, but we are increasing patrols in that area of those crashes. Even though we're up, we're only up one personal injury crash at this time. As far as community engagement, in April, we participated in the community egg hunt. I had a great time engaging with our younger citizens there. As you can see from the photos, it was very well attended and just a great time was had by all. Also, in April we participated in the DEA drug take back day. And to sort of springboard off of this, because we always get these bags and bags of drugs that need to be disposed of, prescription drugs, and we worked in conjunction with a grant through CVS pharmacy and got this drug take back box. So, now we're able to offer this to our citizens every day that our lobby is open. So, they can bring them in and then, we have the means to dispose of those in-house. We'll still participate in the drug take back day but this is just another added service for our citizens. ' Also in May, we participated in the Special Olympics sports run. You probably noticed that area there, might have seen even the chief out there running around a little bit. A rainy day, but for a great cause for Special Olympics. We actually passed the torch on to the Roswell Police Department, who picked it up. A great time there. And this was a great lead-in into into our National Police Week activities. We had the MPD Back the Blue blood drive. It was very well attended. We have all of the slots taken for appointments. We had that in conjunction with Stone Creek Church, who let us use their facilities, and very successful event. We also hosted a citywide shredding event, also very successful. Our goal was to get sensitive documents out of circulation to reduce the chances of fraud occurring with our citizens. Then, in this room, we had the fallen officer memorial ceremony. It was just a very somber but well attended ceremony. We did this in conjunction with the Roswell Police Department and the Alpharetta Police Department. We hosted this year. As you can sorta see in the background there we had Tracie Wildes and Tammy Lowit to sing our national out for us during that ceremony, so we very much appreciate that. And then, we ended the week on a high note with our MPD awards ' ceremony therein without officer of the year Laura Hamby, who's been with us a few years now. We also had rookie of the year and Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 36 of 45 civilian of the year and just a lot of awards that went out ' recognizing offices our educational attainment and other great work going on within the agency. So, it was a great week all in all. We enjoyed it internally but we also really enjoyed engaging with our citizens during these events. And that's all I have, unless there are any questions. Mayor Jamison: Questions for the Chief? Paul? CM Moore: Chief, just a comment. I really appreciate what appears to be a heightened level of of activity for monitoring speeding across the city. See the guys out and about quite a bit lately. However, one request that's for two different roads. If you could take a look how often we are tracking speeds besides the new posted speed signs on Freemanville, I would just request that we try to find a way to up our presence on Freemanville throughout. It's a long road, obviously, but I continue to get complaints from constituents about Freemanville. Same thing for Henderson Road. For whatever reason, Henderson has a pass -through coming from Cherokee seems to get a high velocity of speed. I know that we are attentive to that but I continue to get complaints about that. ' Outstanding job by the guys. I passed, I think, two or three of them on the way here this evening and they were out doing their hard work. Always appreciate what they do. Chief Austin: Thank you. We'll look into those. CM Moore: Thank you. STAFF REPORTS Parks and Recreation Mayor Jamison: Thanks, Chief. All right, Tom? Baseball is over. Mr. McKlveen: That will conclude my report. All right. Good evening, Mayor and Council. Happy to provide a quick update on what's been happening in parks and rec. First, let's start with our programming metrics. Over the winter, we had a program satisfaction rate of 79%, which is above what we strive for with our program providers. And as you can see from our spring program registration, numbers are strong. Eagle six girls and North Georgia ' rec boys lacrosse, they seem to always hover right around that 500 Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 37 of 45 ' to 525 number and we're there again. Hopewell baseball saw a very large increase once again this season with over 1,000 kids now. So, we're getting a lot of kids on those baseball fields. Tennis, same old, same old, they are very steady. Terry can only take so many folks with four courts there. And then, youth dance, we had a class that make. Seems be a continual class that just keeps making so we're working on how can we get those other classes that she offers making, and I think we're looking at some good opportunities at the Milton City Park and Preserve at the community center there. And last, we have a youth basketball program that occurs in the spring. It's more of a training. It's not really a league, so 82 as a pretty strong number, as a matter of fact, for that spring basketball season. So, what are we looking at for the end of spring and what's up coming in the summer? We just had a tai chi class 70% filled, which is really strong. It's the most we've had in a tai chi class so, that's good to see and early reports are showing increases in most ' of our summer programming as well. We've got [inaudible] 101:22:331. It's already at 83% capacity filled. Some weeks are one away from filling up weeks, so as the word spreads, week to week, those latter weeks at the end start filling up when the new people join and see how great the camp is. Those weeks at the end fill up. We've also got photo camps. Our photography camp is we have one week that's full. So, we're doing good things with photography camp. We've got another one with some openings still. Hoping to keep filling those camps up. Swim team for this summer, par for the course, they are killing it get out there. They've got 200 and something swimmers, low 200s right now. They kicked off end of last week so, the pool was open, passed inspection so, we're moving there. We've also got a short baseball season. We call it the sandlot season; little less commitment, you're not going out on weekends. It's usually just the weekday thing for those parents that want to keep their kid in like rec ball but it's not as much of a high commitment. We've got basketball camps, girls lacrosse camps, adult soccer at Bell Memorial Park. We moved it over to Bell for this summer with Cox Road getting shut down for the construction. And we've also got youth dance camps that are occurring this ' summer as well. There is some ongoing and completed projects that we've got going on right now. On the left, we've got the parks Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 38 of 46 and rec activity guide. We received very positive feedback from , that guide. Gives our residents an opportunity and the department to increase our visibility in our programs. And it gives us another marketing opportunity for our programs and partners. Seems to be working very well. We had the ribbon cutting for the Milton City Park and Preserve Community Center and the trail on April 23rd. It was a perfect introduction to the Earth Day celebration we had immediately following. Great response from the community and a lot of citizens really took place in the event for sure. Lastly, I'd like to thank our partners at Tri Scapes and the team at Public Works for creating that lovely trail. It spans 2.25 miles if you do the up and back and also, thanks to Community Development and Pencor for the work that they did out at the club at the Community Center. Speaking of Park and Preserve, we're just a couple of weeks from that pool officially opening for this summer and very excited to see how that goes with newly renovated building and restroom facilities available. It's going to be nice. I think the residents are I really going to respond well. Cox Road Athletics Complex, the turf project is officially underway. We broke ground. This picture that you see here was about 10 days ago, so they've already started tearing up the grass and they're moving and grooving out there. We're expecting that project to probably be completed in August, as long as things keep moving on as scheduled. Next time you head out to Providence Park, you'll notice some nice new amenities out there on the bottom right. We had a Boy Scout complete a project who received his Eagle award. He installed environmental signage in a couple of park maps along the White Trail which is the ADA trail. And then, we also that same weekend, I believe, had had Stone Creek Church come out and they did their city serve event and they revitalized the picnic area off of the Yellow Trail, which is that picture on the bottom right. They also did the outdoor classroom. That's on the bottom right. The picnWs on the other side. It turned out really nice. Coming later this month, we will have the Memorial Day celebration on Monday, May 30, 10:00 out at Freedom Park. Questions? Mayor Jamison: Questions for Tom? Paul? I Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 39 of 45 CM Moore: Mr. McKlveen: CM Moore: Tom, at the new City Park and Preserve I know that Councilmember Bentley used to request for available bathrooms restrooms now available to tennis? They have been, for months. Oh, fantastic. be for very prolific about her for the tennis players. Are the Mr. McKlveen: Once the restrooms were completed we put a combination lock on that door to get into that section of the building and we locked off the rest of it. So, they've been accessible. CM Moore: Same thing for users of the trail? They can use the same facilities? Mr. McKlveen: Yes, sir. CM Moore: Outstanding. Perfect. Thank you. STAFF REPORTS Fire Mayor Jamison: Thanks, Tom. Appreciate it. Chief? The other Chief or vice versa. Thanks for everything today. This is good stuff. I asked the kids which one they liked better and unfortunately, after going in the fire truck and looking at the hoses [inaudible] [01:27:221. Chief Benmoussa: That's why I always pick the slot, the last slot [inaudible]. Mayor Jamison: Next year we might need to maybe created a fire and let them kind of — yeah, just a little campfire, or something. You know? They had a great time. You all did a fantastic job. ChiefBenmoussa: Good evening to you. So, this week is actually EMS week so, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my firefighter EMTs and paramedics for the outstanding job they do in practicing medicine in the city. I think they provide second to none emergency and nonemergency medical services to our community so, I'm really proud of them. So, just want to bring that up. All right. And how befitting for the update. So, our total incidents right now for the last three months that's a total of 788, up three calls from the same period last year. Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 40 of 45 We've had some increases in fire inspections and some pre plan, ' plan reviews in [inaudible] [01:28:23] community service, as well as our Milton Fire Cares; our community paramedics program has grown significantly and we're having an impact in our community with that program, especially with our vulnerable population and elderly population. We provided over 568 vaccinations over the last three months and we continue to provide vaccinations, especially with the fourth booster. We're getting calls from specific members of the community or they stop by so, we provide that service as well. Again, the trends continue the same up-and-down in different areas. We're still averaging about 45% to 50% emergency medical calls. Because of the demographics of our city, we're unlike any other cities where they are running typically medical about 80 to 85%. Milton Fire Corps is up and running. Just want to provide you. They do a phenomenal job; they're our volunteers. They support us during large events, structure fires, any extended time type incidents. They provide rehab services, that is water, some food. They clean our gear from fires, equipment. They show up. They're members of this community. They're phenomenal. We have about 26 members. So, I just want to share some hours. ' They have averaged about about 150 some hours for the last three months and they provided support with care. They showed up at training, station upkeep support, beautifying some of the fire stations. It's all volunteer time that they provide. They're very active. We're working actually now with North Fulton maybe is complying and having a North Fulton Fire course so that because we get a lot of support from Alpharetta and then, in turn, I'm working with the Roswell Fire Chief to actually share the inner light truck, which is a rehab truck, so we don't have to go buy one. We'll be using — Roswell will provide that. We'll provide the Fire Corps. They don't have a Fire Corps yet, so they're hoping to build it. But we collaborate and it saves us both a significant amount of money. Some other updates. I have four firefighters attending Cherokee County fire rescue paramedic school. That is due to the relationship that we have built with Cherokee County. This is at no cost to the city. We saved about $20,000.00 in tuition reimbursement for four firefighters. We only paid for their books. They're doing very well. Hopefully within 13 months, they'll be certified paramedics, which is great. It just augments our advanced life support services in the city. I Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 41 of 45 ' We're also submitting for reimbursement through the Stafford Act for Covid-related expenses, about $62,188.72 for the Covid vaccination clinics that we provided last year, over the last year $44,000.00. And then, over time, backfill for Covid leave is about $17,000.00 so, we're submitting the documentation right now to FEMA. As far as accreditation, Commission on Fire Accreditation International, we have completed our community risk assessment study report. We took all the different development areas of the city, Crabapple, Birmingham Highway and we kind of analyzed the risk specifically to those areas and we rated all the risks. It's a lot of work. It's about 100 some pages document. That is the first step. We have to understand what kind of risks that exist in our community in order for us to effectively deploy resources and ask for resources, so that's the first piece. The second piece of this is, we're hoping by September we will submit as a candidate agency to start the process for the assessment. And that's another lengthy process. ' They'll come and visit and make sure all the stuff that we put in here is actually true, right? So, they have to check. I'm hoping by early fall we can essentially be accredited and become one of the 300 out of 31,000 fire departments in the nation to be accredited. That is 0.89 agencies, so it would be great. A lot of work but we're getting it done, and I'm hopeful that we will get it done. As far as just an update for our fire department strategic plan, we have completed 100% goal two, five and seven ahead of schedule and we're also working towards completing priority goals one, three, four, six, and eight. We're about 80% complete, so we're working through our strategic plan. Now, the exciting stuff; Milton Community Connect. So, we launched as part of our reorganization for our programs and softwares and bringing everything under one suite, Community Connect is just another piece of our first do suite that logs all our incidents, our [inaudible] 101:33:201 incidents, how we do our reports. That saves the city about $14,000.00 in the next budget year by going through one suite instead of having these multiple programs. Now it's all in one. So, Community Connect is just a bonus and what Community Connect is, essentially, it's a community preparedness and resiliency tool. ' It's for residents, functional need organizations, senior care homes, businesses, HOAs, pretty much anybody in the community and Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 42 of 45 they can sign up. It takes about five minutes and they can share ' information with us. I'll show you a brief video here in a little bit that talks about that. Some of the information is really important for us when we respond to an incident. That information that citizens share actually has the same level of encryption as banking. So, it only shows up when we have a particular call at that address I'll give you an example. If you have a special needs, for example, a person or child in that house and you share that information, when we come to that emergency, we know. So, we adapt our response, how we approach that special needs child or an individual. Or even if you share I have three dogs, we know that in the event of an emergency you have three dogs, you know what they look like. Or, we have five bedrooms and we have the kids sleep in this bedroom so, all that stuff helps, or even having a key with the neighbor. So, if we have a fire alarm, for example, going off, instead of us breaking your door or window, that information comes up and says check with the neighbor or to call so and so or call me, so then, we can work through that. Obviously, if it's on fire, we're going in, right? But before, it's a check. So, it really saves our community ' money, saves us time. But then, we're working together to prepare and be resilient in a resilient community. So that's the goal of Community Connect. Right now in the whole state of Georgia, us and Sandy Springs that are doing this, and then Alpharetta is kind of watching us what we're doing, as well as Johns Creek and Roswell. We're hoping the five cities will go to the same program so that when they respond here they'll get the same information, and when we respond and help our neighbors will get that same information. This is unheard of around metro Atlanta. We're like the five cities; incredible the amount of cooperation that we have. So, I will share with you what the website looked like and then a quick video. So, this is when you login, there's one specific for business owners and one for residents. Business owners can share alarm company information. That's the biggest issue, by the way, because that changes. And we panel trying to shut it off. There is no fire, trying to call the alarm company. You don't have the number, so that's an opportunity to keep that up to date. And we have different campaigns. We're working with the equestrian committee in the city to document the bams, the type of horses, all ' the special things that we might need to know in case we respond Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 43 of 45 1 to one of those properties. So, it explains what is a Community Connect. There's a quick message, and then I'll share the video. This sort of sums up what I just shared with you. Video Speaker: As your fire and EMS agency, we are here to ensure we do whatever it takes to protect you and your family. However, there are many valuable pieces of critical information that can help save lives and property in a real emergency that we don't know until we arrive at your door. Things like how many occupants to expect at your home, if anyone has access or functional needs or speaks another language, whether or not you have pets or livestock, structural details, like where the bedrooms are, or even where hazardous materials may be located. But now, with Community Connect, you have the power to keep us informed of nearly everything that matters, so we can better serve you when emergency strikes. Community Connect is a safe and secure online program available at no cost to all residents that allows you to provide us with critical property and occupant information that we can access at the time of response, leading to ' better outcomes in case of fire or medical emergency. So, what are some examples of the kind of information you can contribute? First, your family members, who lives at your residence and how to get in touch during an emergency. Next, your property. Things like where your families bedrooms are located, your gate and door codes, if you have a pool or basement, how to shut off water and electricity, and even where your family's emergency meeting place is located, your needs, details regarding functional needs, like mobility, Alzheimer's, autism, severe allergies, visual or hearing impairments and more. And last, but not least, your pets, their picture, their names, their habits and even their veterinary information. So, no matter what happens, your furry family members are always known about and taking care of. Signing up is easy from any internet connected device. It just takes a phone number, email, and an address. Rest assured, all of your data is safe and only available to our first responders during the time of response, using the same data security and encryption standards found in online banking. If you have five minutes to sign up, please select the link to create your profile and get started helping your first responders help you. I ChiefBenmoussa: I have some cards. Tammy has some cards. We have these. We're going to put them on our rigs and we'll share them and pass them Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Paoe 44 of 45 down to our community. We already have 207 people signed up ' since we started about 2 1/2 weeks ago and we're already actually going to calls and we're using it. The information comes also from the assessor, the initial from the Fulton County assessor. So, we already know what the square footage of the homes and sort of the layout. That's already part of that. But any additional information obviously helps us better serve you. So, if you have any questions, happy to answer. Mayor Jamison: Quick question. Does the police have the same access to this? Chief Benmoussa: No, but the police can access it. If we have information and you're in an incident, we can share that information because it's readily available really quick. Mayor Jamison: That's good stuff. You have a question? No. CM Moore: Just a comment. Just wanted to say, Chief, again, thanks. And you and Chief Austin make us proud every single day and the leadership you both set in this city is extraordinary. It sets us apart from all the surrounding communities in so many ways, and I just want to let you know how much I personally appreciate and I'm ' sure all of Council does as well. And Chief, I said this to you coming in tonight. I didn't have a chance to say it in public the other night when you were not here, how proud I was to be from Milton. When I was on a business trip the other day up just to Jasper, Georgia to conduct some business in my everyday life and had a chance to meet Chief Tim Prather, who had just joined the Jasper Fire Department as their new chief coming, having just retired out of Cherokee, and one of his proudest moments was showing me this award that he had received from you as a recognition of his service. And I can't tell you what it made me proud as a citizen, also member of City Council to be able to share in that, his pride in the award that he had received from the City of Milton. So, just another extraordinary effort and just can't thank you enough for constantly all, both chiefs, for representing our city in such a fine way. Chief Benmoussa: Thank you, sir. Mayor Jamison: Thanks, Chief. And me and Chief Austin spent 2 1/2 hours on ' Sunday at a cycling event in a workshop, so I appreciate you being Regular Meeting of the Milton City Council Monday, May 16, 2022 Page 45 of 45 there as well. We represented the city of Milton very, very good, so appreciate it. Anything else? Okay. We are not having an executive session, so there you go. So open up for a motion to adjourn. CM Moore: So moved. CM Johnson: Second. Mayor Johnson: All right. I have a motion from Councilmember Moore and a second from Councilmember Johnson to adjourn. All in favor, please say aye. CM Johnson: Aye. CM Moore: Aye. CM Cookerly: Aye. Mayor Jamison: Any opposed? It's unanimous. Thank you. Motion and Vote: Councilmember Moore moved to adjourn the Regular Meeting at 7:43pm.
