And whereas time and time again, women have demonstrated resilience in the [0:12:56, 0:13:16]: face of unprecedented challenges. Whereas American W America's women have readily tackled the dispute disruptive forces and demands of wartime and embraced the technological and industrial advancements of the past 250 years. Whereas we have followed them with the exceptional leadership of women like Olive Ann Beach, the first female head of a major aircraft company, [0:13:16, 0:13:36]: And Marvara Collins, who was working as a full-time substitute teacher in Chicago when she founded a low-cost private school for low-income children. Whereas women are leaders in a range of fields from business, medicine, and government and arts. Now therefore I, Anthony S.

Whereas children have the right to be safe and be provided, and to be provided an opportunity to thrive, learn, and grow. [0:16:27, 0:16:47]: In an environment that fosters their healthy growth and development. Whereas child abuse and neglect can be prevented by supporting and strengthening Georgia's families by providing parents with the social support, knowledge of parenting and child development, and concrete resources that are needed to cope with stress and nurture their children. [0:16:46, 0:17:06]: Preventing their far-reaching effects of maltreatment, providing the opportunity for children to develop healthy, trusting family bonds, and consequently building the foundation of communities.

Therefore, we must come together as partners so that the voices of our children [0:17:06, 0:17:26]: Are heard by all, and we are, as a community, extending the right and helping hand to children and families in need. Whereas by providing a safe and nurturing environment for our children, free of violence, abuse, and neglect, we can ensure that Georgia's children will grow to their full potential as the next generation of leaders, helping to secure the future of the state.

[0:21:12, 0:21:18]: We are Anthony Ford of this great city, and I can tell you that I can speak for the man. [0:21:18, 0:21:38]: Not just the mayor, but I can speak for the man and his temperament and his commitment to the city. So I stand here to join with you and to join with the city council and the great state of Georgia to recognize you not only for being the very first African-American mayor of this great city, [0:21:38, 0:21:43]: But please join with me in saying the being the very best as well. [0:21:55, 0:22:00]: If you will allow me, I just want to read just a couple of lines of [0:22:01, 0:22:21]: This proclamation that I share with the entire Senate this morning, much to the chagrin of our great mayor, but it says recognizing and commended Mayor Anthony S. Ford for his outstanding public service and for other purposes. Whereas Mayor Anthony Ford has been long recognized by citizens of this state. [0:22:21, 0:22:32]: for the vital role that he has played in leadership and his deep personal commitment to the welfare of the citizens of Georgia and whereas he is united and loving in marriage to his wife. [0:22:33, 0:22:40]: Eliseo Alcellia and has been blessed with one remarkable daughter, Ariana. [0:22:40, 0:23:00]: And this proclamation goes on, and I'm going to skip down a little bit because these words are important. It says, whereas Mayor Ford's significant organization and leadership talents, his remarkable patience and diplomacy, has his keen sense of vision and his sensitivity to the needs of the citizens of this state. [0:23:00, 0:23:20]: has earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and associates. And I am here from the great state to vouch that he has certainly earned his respect, our respect down at the state capitol. And Mayor Ford, I am delighted to present this proclamation to you, signed by the President of the Senate, Casey Cagle, as well as myself. [0:23:20, 0:23:23]: on this very special day. [0:23:24, 0:23:36]: It is a tremendous, tremendous accomplishment, and I look forward to being here and having these kind of occasions with you on many, many other events. Thank you and God bless you for your celebration. [0:23:50, 0:24:10]: Very appreciated. Thank you, Senator Jones, without a doubt. I really appreciate that. And as I as I have since stated during the swearing in on the 8th of January, first of all, I'm humbled by this, without a doubt, and and the fact that obviously the citizens had to elect elect me in this aspect. So I thank you for that. And my is my intent along with the council because once again I'll say again, the mayor can do [0:24:10, 0:24:30]: without the council. This is the council right back here. I can't do without them. All right. And and I I I will say now, I've been saying all along, it's a team effort, and we have to work together as a team to make it work for the citizens for you all. And uh we're all at large. You elected all of us, so we serve you. So that's what we need to do in this aspect. And um I want to make sure [0:24:30, 0:24:50]: that uh I want to acknowledge also I'm sorry our staff. See even with the elect officials got to do their little thing. The staff has to do the heavy lifting. Okay. So nitrogen, the Nessa, our public works, our personnel. You know, we've got an outstanding staff here in the city of Stockbridge.

So it's a team effort folks always has been and always will be as long as I'm around always a team effort. I mean I appreciate the the help the process thank you senator but I can't do it without the [0:25:10, 0:25:25]: Their vote, the s the staff here, the staff and also the the the the council's approval and uh to get things done.

And one of the ways we [0:29:09, 0:29:29]: do that to get our fundages through Taste of Henry every year. This will be our 17th year. It is April the 20th. It is still at the Jason Harper Event Center because they still have a covered pavilion. If you came last year, thank you very much because I think just about everybody did come last year. It was very [0:29:29, 0:29:49]: crowded. It was our our biggest year yet, which is a good thing, but we had to learn a few things um like how to get people to be in separate lines. So we're gonna work on that a little bit this year. So I encourage you to come back if you um came last year and had to wait long lines but uh hopefully you got to enjoy uh some good [0:29:49, 0:30:09]: food. We had several um places from Stockbridge represented last year at Taste of Henry. We are excited. I had a meeting probably about six weeks ago with um Mr. E from the Merlbanders Conference Center with the Tasty Truck Tuesdays and you all are going to have a food truck there and we're going to set [0:30:09, 0:30:29]: up the Stockbridge City tents and all with the food truck to encourage participation at the food truck event. So I think that's a huge win-win and a great partnership because it's a win for us because we get another food vendor with the food truck and then a great advertisement for your Tasty Truck Tuesday. So um I'm just [0:30:29, 0:30:49]: here again to ask your permission um working with um kira to to get the signage put up that we put around the city um the last couple of years that that you all have let us do that. It's just a banner advertising um taste of Henry and wanting uh people to come and uh they pay their entry fee at 100% [0:30:49, 0:30:57]: of the proceeds come back to our kids at a friend's house. So we currently have sixteen kids right now at a friend's house and um [0:30:57, 0:31:16]: We are doing the best we can to to make it the best um you know situation that we can for the kids while they're there. We had a great year this past year. We actually had one of our residents graduate and she is currently in out Georgia State uh getting her degree. So that is um that is a bit. [0:31:18, 0:31:38]: So we don't often um get that opportunity to see that a lot. And then we have another young lady, it's her senior year, and uh she I don't know where the process is right now, but she is uh working on getting into the Naval Academy. So again, another just great thing um that's coming from these kids. [0:31:38, 0:31:58]: because they're great kids, they've just been put in bad situations out of out of their control. So many thanks to to you all for what you've done before and for all your support of a friend's house and taste of Henry. If you have any questions about anything about what we do at a friend's house or or at Taste of Henry, I'd be glad [0:31:58, 0:32:18]: I had to entertain those, but I I don't want to take your valuable time. So any questions that anyone has? Yes, and any questions on anybody? Yes, ma'am, go right ahead, please. Oh, I'm sorry you got a question? Yes, sir. Councilman Buffett. I just want to say thank you for allowing Stockbridge to be a part of this because it is a tremendous honor. [0:32:18, 0:32:38]: to be supportive of our children. So um I I just know with this council my colleagues we're here to support so please continue to keep us in mind and to know that that we'll have your um we'll definitely support you every year. Thank you. You know you'll definitely have my support so but thank you so much for [0:32:38, 0:32:41]: Everything that you do for our children. Thank you. We appreciate it. [0:32:42, 0:32:58]: Okay. Yes, Mayor. You gonna make the motion? Is that what you're doing? Go ahead. Go right ahead. Mayor Ford, I move that we approve the um partnership with the friends house to allow for annual fundraisers, taste of Henry to display signage throughout the city. I second. Okay, there's a f motion, a second. Any further discussion? [0:32:59, 0:33:05]: All in favor, please indicate. It's a unanimous decision. Thank you very much, Mr. Thank you. I look forward to seeing y'all there. Thank you very much. [0:33:06, 0:33:26]: New business council consideration for the use of Ted Strickland Community Center on May 2nd, 2018 for the GMA for GMA to conduct a regional workshop on the new requirements for background checks and fingerprinting, pre-employment auto license procedures, and have a speaker from the Department of Revenue speak on alcohol license requirements and ISO [0:33:26, 0:33:46]: ratings presented by Ms. Camilla Moore, Community. Good evening, Mayor and members of the Council. I bring before you this item at the request of Georgia Municipal Association. As you know, each legislative cycle they always produce a set of bills. This year one of the bills that have come out uh that's pending in the legislature deals with new requirements as it pertains to alcohol. [0:33:46, 0:34:03]: the handling of alcohol and sale of alcohol. Stockbridge is kind of located in the middle of the state and they made the request to see if they could hold their regional training on this particular bill once it's adopted by the governor at the Ted Strickland. So I stand before he before you tonight with the request from GMA to do just that. [0:34:04, 0:34:06]: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Moore? [0:34:08, 0:34:28]: Well let me make a mu comment in passing. I I think this is a great thing to have GMA come to our city to do this. Uh say regionally look kind of located in a sense, but uh I don't recall uh GMA coming to to do conduct anything like this in the past. I don't know whether or not someone that can share that light on that. I think it's a good thing to have them come here. Maybe we can have a more routine for even training section. [0:34:28, 0:34:48]: And I believe Councilwoman Nee Robinson talked about that once before. Yes, ma'am, go right ahead. [0:34:48, 0:35:08]: state. And I did submit the city of Stockbridge. We had actually asked for the Merrill Manders Conference Center training rooms. It's not available that day. Therefore we uh they still wanted to host it here though in the city. Okay. And that's why we have uh put forward the Ted Strickland. Well but they do want to hold training in this area [0:35:08, 0:35:28]: making it conducive for those uh in the area not to have to travel so far to Athens and things like that. So this is a prime location for them and if we could um move forward and let them know that this is good, I think you'll see more uh to come. I appreciate Def Vanessa, absolutely. I I think it's a great thing. It puts us [0:35:28, 0:35:48]: more on the map even with GMA, right? Okay. Mayor Folk. Any other any other comments? Yes. Yes, Ma go right please. Um again thank you for acknowledged. Yes, I did mention that um because we have a lot of opportunity here. We have beautiful facilities and we're the central location. Um we're the largest city in Henry County and our doors should just swing wide open. [0:35:48, 0:36:08]: for these opportunities to come and highlight what we can do here in Stockbridge. So to you, Madam Clerk, thank you so much for submitting that because that is something that we need and also to Ms. Camilla Moore, thank you for bringing it forth to us because again there's a lot of other opportunities and I would love for us to [0:36:08, 0:36:26]: continue this not just with GMA there's also um the ACLU everything they have opportunities ARC whatever we can do we just want to bring um opportunity here to our city so everyone can see how beautiful the city of Stockbridge really is thank you so very much. Okay good deal any other comments from the council [0:36:27, 0:36:42]: And if not, uh we have a motion, we'll have a second. Well we don't excuse me, we don't have a motion yet, do it. I would like to make a motion, uh mayor, that we you allow the GMA to conduct their regional workshop um here at our Ted Strickland Center on May the 2nd, 2018. [0:36:43, 0:36:48]: Okay, second by Maripo Tim. Any further discussion? If not, all in favor, please indicate. [0:36:48, 0:37:08]: Okay, fantastic. Unanimous decision. All right. Number 10 item, we're going to uh come back after executive session. We discussed that in the executive session. Uh number 11's been taken off. Number 12, it is um council consideration to approve Georgia Power Lighting Service Agreement for Memorial Park, LED conversion in the amount of$27,000. [0:37:08, 0:37:13]: thousand dollars which is a spLOS funding project. Mr. Aaron, please. [0:37:14, 0:37:34]: Uh yes, Mr. Mayor and Council. Last year the city started with the conversion of their street lights and park lights from uh the sodium vapor lights to the LED lights, which are more energy efficient and put out more lights. So uh Memorial Park is the last park. We've already done Clark and Gardner Park, so this will be the [0:37:34, 0:37:46]: final phase of that project to make the transition to LED and the funding is from Splost and we're asking for approval to move forward with Georgia Power converting the lights at Memorial Park to LED. [0:37:47, 0:38:07]: Okay. Um council any question for Mr. Aaron at all? I I got a coup questions on on the program. Go right ahead, sir. Uh in terms of the overall LED program, it was supposed to be inclusive of the entire city. I'm familiar with the summit at Eagles Landing. They did like maybe a few of those [0:38:07, 0:38:27]: lighting fixtures up front but then there was an addition to the neighborhood and then the back of the neighborhood you can tell the difference especially at night you see the LED bright white lights and then you get to the back and they're still the yellowish color. I'd like to know what exactly is it that they're doing or what is going on [0:38:27, 0:38:47]: on at the summit at Eagles Landing in this program and then subsequent off the subject, uh the bank of lights on Jodeco Road uh heading north at the exit, they're out and they've been out for a couple of uh uh probably a couple of weeks now. Uh we'll contact G Dot in reference to those [0:38:47, 0:39:01]: But uh what we've done is uh Jeff Greenway has been riding around in the city identifying lights that Georgia Power did not convert. So we've got a list that we'll be submitting to them to make sure that we get all the lights switched over. [0:39:02, 0:39:04]: Okay, good to hear. Yes, sir. [0:39:04, 0:39:16]: I uh move to approve the uh consideration to approve the uh Georgia Power Lightning Service Agreement. Okay motion uh made by Blount, seconded by Alexander. Any further discussion? [0:39:17, 0:39:22]: If not, all favor please indicate. Okay. Fantastic. Thank you, Mr. Aaron. [0:39:23, 0:39:33]: Um next is council consideration to uh to approve Georgia Power Lighting Service Agreement for a maintenance facility, LED conversion in an amount of six hundred thirty dollars per month. Mr. Aaron. [0:39:33, 0:39:53]: Uh yes, Mr. Mayor. Currently the city has 10 lights down at the maintenance facility. And with this agreement we'll be adding four additional lights to for our street sweeping operations. There are some areas that currently do not have lights. So we're going to increase our lighting capacity by 40%. [0:39:53, 0:40:09]: and our electrical bill would go up by 27%, but we'll have 40% more coverage with the four additional lights, which help the street sweeping operations because they come in a lot of times at night when traffic is not as heavy to perform their street sweeping operations. [0:40:10, 0:40:21]: Okay. Great. Any other questions for Mr. Aaron about our maintenance facility and additional lights in LED? Just real quick for the public, identify the specific area that you're you're talking about. [0:40:21, 0:40:41]: As far as the maintenance shop? Well yeah, where the w that would be the lights will be added. There's an area where the uh street sweeping operation is performed where there there's a fire hydrant there where they get water for the street sweeper and also where they empty out the sweeper. But a lot of times their operation is performed, as I said, at night. So they need light in there. [0:40:41, 0:40:49]: area so when they're out performing their operations it makes them safe and also have light available to them. [0:40:50, 0:41:10]: And sec secondarily, if a member of this audience wanted uh that feels like lighting is inadequate in their community or they want lighting added, what would they do? Would they contact you? Yes, so the process would be they they contact public words, public words contact uh Georgia Power, Georgia. [0:41:10, 0:41:15]: George Power goes out and does an assessment and then they'll come back with a recommendation as far as the lighting is concerned. [0:41:16, 0:41:17]: Thank you, sir. [0:41:18, 0:41:19]: Okay. [0:41:19, 0:41:21]: Yeah. [0:41:24, 0:41:38]: Yeah, right, exactly right. City managers should be well aware of that. My assumption is is that you uh there's gonna be a total of fourteen lights out there, right, with with the four additional fourteen lights and all on the LEDs would amount to further questions uh for Mr. Aaron? [0:41:39, 0:41:40]: If not any uh motion please. [0:41:41, 0:41:51]: Mayor Ford, I move that we approve the um Georgia Power Lighting Service Agreement maintenance facility LED con conversion in the amount of six hundred and thirty dollars per month. [0:41:51, 0:41:54]: Here second. Ms. Robinson, okay. Any further discussion? [0:41:55, 0:41:57]: If not, all in favor, please indicate. [0:41:57, 0:41:59]: Okay, fantastic. [0:41:59, 0:42:10]: All right. Thank you, Mr. Aaron. Appreciate it. Item 14 will come back to the citizens after we discussed it in executive session. So on that note, uh I have here comments from our city manager. [0:42:11, 0:42:31]: Yes, thank you, Mayor and Council. Uh the one comment I want to make is uh certainly to um uh acknowledge uh the great town hall that we had last Thursday evening here at City Hall. We had a standing room-only crowd. Uh citizens came and were informed about the deannexation proposal that is before us, which uh you all have taken the lead and been fighting very hard. [0:42:30, 0:42:50]: for the citizens of Stockbridge. And we will be conducting a town hall this Thursday, this coming Thursday, um at 7 o'clock p.m. here at City Hall. And so we encourage all citizens to come out, to be informed, to receive information about this proposed deannexation, and know how they're and to also [0:42:50, 0:43:10]: learn how their voices can be heard and we certainly not we certainly um would ask all of our citizens to visit our website where you can obtain additional information and of course please feel free to call uh your staff at any time regarding these proposals so that you will get the facts about what is being proposed and what [0:43:10, 0:43:18]: what the mayor and council are are doing in terms of their leadership uh to combat uh these proposals that are before us. [0:43:18, 0:43:22]: Thank you. Thank you, sir. Uh Mr. Thomas, please. Any comments? Thank you, Mayor. [0:43:23, 0:43:30]: I like to take this opportunity to do an um women history month. Excuse me, I've been [0:43:30, 0:43:34]: having a little trouble with my throat here. Um, excuse me. [0:43:36, 0:43:49]: I'd like to take this opportunity to, during Women History Month, to lift up the name of and legacy of Mrs. Georgia Knight Henderson. [0:43:50, 0:43:52]: Who is the founder? [0:43:53, 0:44:00]: the builder of Knights Amy Church at 224 Red Oak Road right here at Stockbridge. [0:44:01, 0:44:04]: She was born March 13th. [0:44:05, 0:44:06]: Nineteen hundred. [0:44:07, 0:44:08]: in Dublin, Georgia. [0:44:10, 0:44:15]: Reverend Henderson decided to have the church dedicated. [0:44:15, 0:44:19]: by laying the cornerstone in nineteen fifty eight. [0:44:21, 0:44:24]: Thus m making the origin of this church. [0:44:25, 0:44:27]: Passed it there until [0:44:28, 0:44:31]: She retired in 1975.

[0:44:41, 0:44:46]: The present pastor there is Reverend David A. Marl. [0:44:48, 0:44:49]: Reverend Knight [0:44:49, 0:44:51]: Serve continuously [0:44:53, 0:45:13]: until her death, but the church continuously to praise and worship for the last sixty years right here in the city of Stockbridge. So I just want to take this opportunity just to lift up her name and her legacy. I know Mrs. Reed is here. Mrs. Reed has been a uh [0:45:13, 0:45:17]: a longstanding member of that church for many years and [0:45:17, 0:45:33]: This was a lady uh that was in my neighborhood as a child and I do remember her and I just wanted to lift up her name and her legacy because the church still stands today and I just wanted to shout out her name. [0:45:34, 0:45:38]: Reverend Georgia Knight Henderson. [0:45:38, 0:45:45]: the founder and the builder of Knights Emmy Church right here in the city of Stockbridge. [0:45:46, 0:45:46]: Thank you.

So I want to say thank you for that. Just stay tuned. I look forward to seeing you on Thursday. Make sure you spread the word. Don't assume that everyone knows about this. Make sure that [0:47:25, 0:47:32]: know about it by spreading the word on your social media sites and to your neighbors. Thank you again for your support. [0:47:33, 0:47:34]: Councilman Al Zenter.

Uh congratulations, Mayor. Uh you observe it. Thank you so much for for what you do. Uh I did wanted to make uh [0:47:54, 0:48:06]: One additional comment. Um as a Eagles Landing resident, I want you to understand the residents of Eagles Landing are not the enemy. They are just as clueless as you are. [0:48:07, 0:48:27]: It is a very small minority of people who are involved in what is going on. I don't support this and I live in a community with three hundred and nine neighbors. They don't support it either. So it's not the residents of Eagles Landing. It's not because for overall they do not support this. So as we go [0:48:27, 0:48:47]: Through this battle, let's try to make sure that we keep the city united and understand that the Eagles Landing residents are in this with us. It's not that they're against what we're trying what we're trying to do to keep the city together. And um I want to uh follow up on my comments from the town hall the other night to ensure to make sure that [0:48:47, 0:49:07]: that everybody knows that the staff is working hard to make sure that they do everything. Uh and uh and that uh they're working hard and now that we have increased the public awareness, the media and everything. We're working toward that defending the city uh in the right direction and that uh we want it uh to [0:49:07, 0:49:27]: to make sure that you know that all the suggestions that you made uh will be incorporated or will be considered to be moved forward because we value your opinion and what you wanna do. And I was just overwhelmed that's how many people showed up and said that they cared about the city. Those images matter. [0:49:27, 0:49:31]: Thank you so much for showing once again that you love your city of Stockbridge. [0:49:32, 0:49:52]: Yeah. Councilwoman Need Robinson, please. Yes. Thank you, Mayor. Thank you again, everyone, for coming out to the wonderful women that were honored on tonight. Um I'm just so excited that they're with their willing vessels to be in our community.

He is standing strong for us and I was truly honored this morning to stand in the well when he received [0:50:32, 0:50:52]: See the surprise from Senator Jones in that um a resolution that was presented to him, but he's doing an outstanding job and we just need to support him. So whatever there that's going on, he needs to be uplifted to know that he's caring a lot, but he's doing a lot.
