Given under my hand and the Seal of the City of Milton, Georgia on this 5th day of May, 2008. ______________________________ Joe Lockwood, Mayor About Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia (pronounced fy-bro-my-AL-ja) is a complex chronic pain disorder that affects an estimated 10 million Americans and approximately 3-6% of the population worldwide. While it occurs most often in women, it strikes men and children, and all ethnic backgrounds. For those with severe symptoms, fibromyalgia (FM) can be extremely debilitating and interfere with basic daily activities. Diagnosis: o The FM diagnostic criteria, established by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) in 1990, includes a history of widespread pain in all four quadrants of the body for a minimum duration of three months, and pain in at least 11 of the 18 designated tender points when a specified amount of pressure is applied. o Since people with FM tend to look healthy and conventional tests are typically normal, a physician knowledgeable about the disorder is necessary to make a diagnosis. o Physicians should rule out other causes of the symptoms before making a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Symptoms: o Although chronic, widespread body pain is the primary symptom of fibromyalgia, a variety of other symptoms are common in FM patients. Symptoms include: moderate to severe fatigue, sleep disorders, problems with cognitive functioning, IBS, headaches and migraines, anxiety and depression, and environmental sensitivities. o Research has documented neuroendocrine physiological abnormalities that may contribute to the symptoms. Causes: o Recent research has suggested a genetic component. The disorder is often seen in families, among siblings or mothers and their children. o Fibromyalgia often occurs following a physical trauma, such as an acute illness or injury, which may act as a “trigger” in the development of the disorder. o Increasing attention is being devoted to the central nervous system as the underlying mechanism of FM. Recent studies have suggested that FM patients have generalized disturbance in pain processing and an amplified response to stimuli that would not ordinarily be painful in healthy individuals. Treatment: o Since there is no known cure for FM, treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and improving function. o A variety of prescription medications are often used to reduce pain levels and improve sleep. On June 21, 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Lyrica (pregabalin) as the first drug to treat fibromyalgia. o Alternative therapies, such as massage, myofasical release, acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal supplements and yoga, can be effective tools in managing FM symptoms. o Increasing rest, pacing activities, reducing stress, practicing relaxation and improving nutrition can help minimize symptoms and improve quality of life.

To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following: a. To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community Development on February 28, 2006. Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. Analysis and Recommendation The subject site is located on the south side of State Route 9 (Cumming Hwy) just west of Sunfish Bend. The site is zoned C-1 (Community Business) and is approved for the development of 62,240 square feet of retail, service commercial, office and accessory uses at a density of 7,535.11 square feet per acre, pursuant to 2003Z-140 NFC. The applicant’s submitted site plan shows a total of 61, 375 square feet. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners also approved a Modification of Site plan on May 5, 2006 which included a concurrent variance to delete the required landscape strip along the west and south sides of the detention pond. Staff notes that on the current plan submitted, the detention will be underground. It is the Mayor and City Council’s policy to require a 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the entire frontage of the property with a minimum 4.5 foot grass strip between the sidewalk and the back of curb, and shall have a transverse double row of faux concrete brick pavers every 50 feet along Hwy 9. In addition, a black four-board-equestrian-styled fence adjacent to the sidewalk between the sidewalk and the development is also required. Both of these design standards are included in the recommended conditions. Due to building configuration refinements that have been made in regard to the overall development, the applicant is seeking to revise the site plan approved pursuant to Z003Z- 0140 NFC and ZM06-011 NFC and is therefore requesting a modification of zoning condition 2.a. The proposed revision of the site plan will not result in an increase in density for the overall development. Staff is of the opinion that the applicant’s request is in harmony with the development approved by the Board of Commissioners pursuant to 2003Z-0140 NFC, as well as with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of the proposed modification of zoning condition 2.a. CONCLUSION: Should the Mayor and City of Council approve this petition, the Recommended Conditions (RZ07-010) should be revised to read as follows: Prepared by the Community Development Department for the Mayor and City Council Meeting on May 19, 2008 4/28/2008 Page 5 of 7 ZM08-02 2. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following: a. To the site plan received by the Department of Environment and Community Development on March 31, 2008 (RZ03-140). Said site plan is conceptual only and must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit. Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy. (ZM08-02) 3. To the owner’s agreement to the following site development considerations: d. Provide 6-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the entire frontage of the property with a minimum 4.5 foot grass strip between the sidewalk and the back of curb, and shall have a transverse double row of faux concrete brick pavers every 50 feet as approved by the Public Works Director for Milton. e. Provide a black four-board-equestrian-styled fence adjacent to the sidewalk between the sidewalk and the development or as approved by the Director of Community Development.

City Manager’s Office Recommendation Adopt the attached grant application approving the submission to the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for the purchase of two Harley-Davidson police motorcycles (and all the necessary accoutrements) to equip Milton’s Traffic Unit, and authorizing the Mayor to execute all required grant documents should the grant be awarded. Background The purpose of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety program grants is for local jurisdictions to develop the capacity to enforce regulations that pertain to the state’s roadways. The program may be used to establish, equip and innovate new methods of reducing property damage, injuries and fatalities that occur as a result of traffic collisions. Discussion The motorcycle presents a unique means of traffic enforcement in a suburban environment. In a jurisdiction such as Milton that has no interstate, traffic congestion on roadway during peak hours can be detrimental to an officer’s maneuverability in the apprehension of traffic violators. The police motorcycle has been a staple of traffic enforcement units since the first decade of the 20th Century primarily because of the flexibility provided. It also serves as an incredible public relations tool in that a motorcycle officer may use interest in his or her vehicle to conduct public outreach on matters of highway and general safety. The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety offers several grants in support of traffic enforcement programs. Since the City of Milton’s nascent traffic function is still heavily associated with zone patrol, the acquisition of traditional traffic enforcement vehicles may help to define the unit as a truly unique function within the police department. To that end, the City of Milton Department of Public Safety would like to make application with the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for funding to provide the basic outlines of a full fledged traffic unit. Funding and Fiscal Impact This grant will serve to cover capital outlay for the development of the traffic unit. As such, operating expenditures will not be included in the grant request. Two officer salaries/benefits 1 City of Milton 13000 Deerfield Parkway, Milton, Georgia 30004 (and associated costs such as uniforms) will therefore still carry a financial impact. The City would also be responsible for fuel and maintenance of the vehicles. The grant, if awarded, will provide the motorcycles (Harley-Davidson FLHTPs), LED light boxes, sirens, markings, and two LIDAR speed detection devices to fully outfit the vehicles. Total grant request for this project will be $40,000 ($20,000 per unit). Alternatives: The city may finance this agency enhancement out of capital funds if it deems a motorcycle traffic unit a priority for its police department. Additionally, the department could continue to operate the traffic officers in a standard police vehicle (with roof-mounted lights and so on) as a subset of the uniformed patrol section. Concurrent Review: Chris Lagerbloom, Interim City Manager Charles Millican, Interim Public Safety Director 2 STATE OF GEORGIA COUNTY OF FULTON RESOLUTION NO. _____ A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL TO APPROVE THE SUBMISSION OF A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY FOR THE ACQUISITION OF EQUIPMENT TO SUPPORT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DEDICATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT UNIT BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Milton, GA while in regular session on May 5, 2008 at 6:00 pm. as follows: WHEREAS, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety provides grants to support traffic enforcement efforts in counties and municipalities; and WHEREAS, such funds are awarded directly to police departments to enhance their ability to protect the public by funding traffic enforcement initiatives; and WHEREAS, the City of Milton has applied for funding through this program; and WHEREAS, the funding, if awarded, shall be used to purchase and equip two motorcycles to provide the material basis for the formation of a dedicated traffic unit; and WHEREAS, evidence authorizing the acceptance of said application may be provided to assist in the application process. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT SO RESOLVED, this 5 Day of May, 2008, by the Mayor and Council of the City of Milton that the submission of the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety application is hereby approved; and if awarded the Mayor is hereby authorized to execute the award package with directives under the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
