PUBLIC COMMENTS Kathy Walker (200 Hunting Court) raised concerns about the loss of a natural buffer, ongoing construction impacts, and a lack of transparency in city communications, including the unavailability of meeting audio and public access to meeting transcripts. Jontay Holmes (206 Hunting Court) described significant structural disturbance to homes from construction activity and expressed concern about a large mound of excavated dirt behind residences posing a mudslide risk, calling for an approved buffer. Following public comments, Councilmember Barber requested a status update on the Tranquil Trails development from City Attorney or the City Manager. The City Attorney stated she had no information to provide. City Manager Shawn Edmondson reported that the developer was in the process of applying for a permit and is still in the process of doing so. Councilmember Barber inquired whether it was proper for the developer to continue moving dirt without a building permit; the City Manager confirmed that activity was a separate process that they could proceed (moving dirt) prior to the issuance of a building permit. CONSENT AGENDA Council Consideration to appoint a member to the Planning Commission: Mills Johnson was nominated as the District 1 representative to the Planning Commission. Motion to appoint Mills Johnson as the District 1 representative to the Planning Commission was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander and seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 4-0. OLD BUSINESS Second read of an ordinance establishing the City of Stockbridge Community Redevelopment Tax Incentive program for Blighted Properties pursuant to Article IX, Section Il, Paragraph VIli(d) of the Georgia Constitution and 0.C.G.A. § 41-2-12, et. Seq. City Attorney Megan McCulloch presented the second reading of the Community Redevelopment Tax Incentive Program ordinance for blighted properties. The ordinance is designed as a redevelopment tool, applying only to properties meeting defined blight criteria — not broadly to any vacant property. The final version incorporated language from both the City Attorney's draft and staff's proposed version, the latter of which added a voluntary remediation agreement process. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander expressed a preference for a single compliance deadline rather than multiple, emphasizing the need to address long-standing blighted commercial properties along North Henry Boulevard. 2|Page --- page 3 --- Attorney McCulloch confirmed that a preliminary determination triggers a 45-day cure period through a voluntary remediation agreement, after which non-compliant properties proceed to a final determination and municipal court, where a judge holds authority to impose a tax rate of twenty-five (25) times the standard rate. The ordinance applies to non-owner-occupied residential and commercial properties; primary residences are excluded. Blight Determination Process and Procedures: Initiation of Action: « A determination that a property may be blighted can be initiated by: o Petition from more than five residents (not from the same household), o Resolution by the City Council, o Internal community development department findings. Preliminary Determination: « An inspection and preliminary determination phase occur when the property is assessed. Properties meeting blight criteria enter an initial phase allowing for voluntary remediation. Voluntary Remediation Agreement (Off Ramp): » Property owners may enter into a voluntary remediation agreement with the Community Development Department. This agreement allows property owners to remediate changes within an agreed timeframe. If remediation occurs timely, properties can remain eligible for tax incentives. This voluntary agreement acts as an off ramp early in the process to encourage quick resolution. Final Determination and Legal Enforcement: « If the property owner fails to comply with the remediation within the agreed period (approximately 45 days cure period), the process moves forward. This leads to a final formal determination of blight. The case can then proceed to municipal court for enforcement. The court can impose penalties such as a tax increase of up to twenty-five (25) times the regular tax on blighted properties (focused on non- owner-occupied residential and commercial properties; primary residences are excluded) Mayor Pro Tem Alexander expressed a preference for having only one off ramp in the process to avoid delays. It was recommended to set a date certain by which property owners must be 100% compliant to avoid penalties. Motion to adopt the ordinance as described, with one compliance off-ramp and final determination by a municipal court judge, was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander; Seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 4-0. REQUEST TO AMEND THE AGENDA: Councilmember Barber requested an amendment to the agenda to include a discussion item. Barber moved to discuss the creation of a program similar to "Code Cares" called 3|Page --- page 4 --- "Bridge Cares.";Seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion failed 2-0-2. Councilmember Cloud and Mayor Pro Tem Alexander abstained. NEW BUSINESS Scope Of Services Under Contract No. RFP 2024-0001 With Whitley Engineering, Inc. Community Development Director Ryan Anderson presented a proposed scope-of- service amendment to the existing Whitley Engineering contract to implement a Home Land Disturbance Permit (HLDP) review program. Under this program, each individual unit within a master civil plan would require its own land disturbance permit, in addition to the existing plan-level LDP review, to enhance oversight of erosion and stormwater control. The amendment carries no cost to the city; property owners/developers would pay a $300 fee per unit, of which $200 is retained by the city and $100 is paid to Whitley Engineering for the individual review, not to exceed $25,000 in fees to Whitley Engineering per calendar year. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander requested that the scope of the amendment include a requirement that surrounding property owners be formally notified — by mail, using the same distance requirements as the public hearing process — prior to the issuance of any land disturbance permit no matter how long the permitting process has taken. City Manager Edmondson acknowledged that notification requirements exist in the code, and Anderson confirmed this condition would be incorporated into Whitley Engineering's review process. Councilmember Barber sought clarification on the financial impact, confirming there is no cost to the city. Motion to approve the amended scope of services under Contract No. RFP 2024- 0001 with Whitley Engineering, Inc., including the requirement for surrounding-area notification prior to permit issuance, was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander,; Seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 4-1. Councilmember Barber opposed. MAYOR'S COMMENTS There were no comments.

Mayor Williams was not present. 4|Page --- page 5 --- Action from Executive Session A motion to execute a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Phlanx Holdings LLC for property located at 101 and 102 Love Street, conditioned upon completion of due diligence and review of existing leases, was made by Councilmember Gantt and seconded by Councilmember Cloud. Discussion: Councilmember Barber asked if there was an appraisal for the property. Attorney McCulloch advised that the governing body will have an opportunity to review the appraisal during the due diligence period, which is about 75 days, and if within that time the city does not want to move forward, all the city is out is the earnest money. She further clarified that the rent rolls and the leases are a part of that due diligence period. Councilmember Barber asked: So, this is gonna have to come back to us once you receive the appraisal? Attorney McCulloch advised that “you will receive the appraisal and a summary of the rest of the due diligence items. And if you would like to see the due diligence items themselves, I'm sure that we can make those available to you.” The motion passed unanimously 5-0. ADJOURNMENT Motion to adjourn made by Councilmember Gantt; Seconded by Councilmember Berry The motion passed unanimously 5-0 The meeting adjourned at 9:53 pm.

Councilmember Barber asked to remove the following item from the consent agenda for discussion. 1|Page --- page 2 --- # 3: CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE TAD EXPANSION: SEEKING COUNCIL APPROVAL FOR A RESOLUTION TO EXPAND THE TAD MAP TO INCLUDE LARGE COMMERCIAL PARCELS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREAS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAX ALLOCATION DISTRICT Motion to adopt the agenda as amended by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander; Seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 4-0. Review of the Minutes Review the June 8th City Council Summary Minutes — No Action. Public Comments One Public Comment: Kathy Walker of 200 Hunting Court. Ms. Walker expressed concerns about recent construction where grading resulted in the removal of mature trees. She emphasized that young replacement trees cannot adequately replace this lost natural buffer. Walker voiced her disappointment when Councilwoman Yolanda Barber’s requests to bring this issue back for public discussion were ignored by the council. She commended Elton Alexander for his recent town hall. Ms. Walker highlighted a sewer smell noticed in the community. She reports that she was told came from the developer letting their license expire. She continued that meetings intended to address these concerns were canceled which raises serious questions about communication, oversight, transparency, and responsiveness from city officials. Presentation CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE TAD APPLICATION: SEEKING COUNCIL APPROVAL FOR A RESOLUTION TO SUBMIT APPLICATION TO THE HENRY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR COMMITMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TAX ALLOCATION DISTRICT #1 Economic Development Director William Smith presented an overview of Tax Allocation District #1 and the process by which the City of Stockbridge would submit a formal application to the Henry County Board of Education requesting their commitment to participate in the district. Council and staff discussed the background of the TAD, with Smith clarifying that a TAD is not a built-in tax increase. Rather, as property values within the designated area increase, the incremental tax revenue generated above the established base value is captured and reinvested into the redevelopment area to fund improvements and attract capital. After the presentation the discussion moved into expanding the Tax Allocation District map to include large commercial parcels in the redevelopment areas that were not included in the Tax Allocation District #1. Continued discussion touched on the legal framework underpinning the TAD expansion. It was noted that once a redevelopment area is formally established under state law, the city gains redevelopment powers, including the authority to create a TAD, but only 2|Page --- page 3 --- within that designated area. The expansion resolution would bring in large commercial parcels that were not captured in the original TAD #1 boundary. Mr. Smith clarified “Before we present anything to the Board of Education, we wanted to expand the TAD within that boundary to give it maximum impact, the application that we put together that will go to the Board of Education, it does include those parcels. But we did not want to send the application until we have permission and consent from you all about what you want to afford — so making sure that having all those parcels included is something you want to afford.” Motion to approve the TAD application made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexader; Seconded by Councilmember Gantt. The motion passed 4-1. Councilmember Barber opposed. CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE TAD EXPANSION: SEEKING COUNCIL APPROVAL FOR A RESOLUTION TO EXPAND THE TAD MAP TO INCLUDE LARGE COMMERCIAL PARCELS IN THE REDEVELOPMENT AREAS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAX ALLOCATION DISTRICT #1 This item was discussed in the above presentation. New Business TEXT AMENDMENT CASE #TX-2026-03. (CITYWIDE) CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND TITLE 9, CHAPTER 9.09 OF THE STOCKBRIDGE MUNICODE TO ALLOW VARIOUS CHANGES TO BE MADE FOR LICENSING AND REGULATION Business Services Manager Uneeda Smith-Sellars presented the proposed text amendment and explained that the revisions were intended to strengthen enforcement of occupational tax and business licensing requirements by establishing a graduated penalty structure for businesses that fail to comply with City regulations. Council discussed the effectiveness of the existing fee schedule and whether the current penalties provided sufficient incentive for businesses to comply. It was noted that some businesses have found it more economical to pay repeated fines than to obtain or renew the required business license, thereby undermining the City's enforcement efforts. Staff clarified that when a Code Compliance Officer issues a citation, the matter proceeds to Municipal Court where the judge has discretion to enforce the ordinance and may grant additional time for compliance. Staff further explained that courts generally rely upon the penalty schedule established by ordinance and that a clearly defined tiered fine structure would provide greater consistency in enforcement. Councilmembers discussed implementing escalating fines rather than imposing the same penalty for repeated violations. Members expressed concern that maintaining a flat $300 penalty for each offense failed to deter continued noncompliance. Staff recommended adopting a graduated penalty schedule that would increase with each subsequent violation while remaining within the limits authorized under Georgia law. 3|Page --- page 4 --- During discussion, staff advised that municipal ordinance penalties are subject to statutory limitations and recommended establishing a maximum administrative penalty of $1,800, after which the business license would be subject to revocation. Staff further recommended authorizing the City Manager to revoke a business license upon reaching the maximum penalty threshold, with reinstatement requiring approval by the City Council after exhaustion of the administrative and judicial enforcement processes. Following discussion, Council reached consensus that the initial penalty should be increased substantially to encourage prompt compliance and reduce repeat violations. Approved Tiered Fee Schedule Council approved the following graduated penalty schedule for businesses failing to comply with occupational tax and business licensing requirements: Violation Approved Fine First Violation $600 Second Violation (after 30 $1,200 days) Third Violation $1,800 After Third Violation Business License Subject to Suspension/Revocation Under the approved amendment, once the business reaches the maximum penalty of $1,800, the business license becomes subject to suspension or revocation. Reinstatement of the license would require further action by the City Council following the applicable administrative process. Motion to approve the proposed revisions and incorporating the revised graduated fee schedule as follows: « First violation: $600 « Second violation (after 30 days): $1,200 « Third violation: $1,800 « Upon the third unpaid violation, the business license shall become subject to suspension or revocation. Made by Councilmember Gantt; Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander; The motion passed unanimously 5-0. 4|Page --- page 5 --- COUNCIL CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PROPOSED FLOST DISTRIBUTION SCHEDULE AND AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT WITH HENRY COUNTY AND THE MUNICIPALITIES THEREIN City Attorney Megan McCulloch presented a resolution for Council's consideration approving the proposed Floating Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) distribution schedule and authorizing the mayor to execute an intergovernmental agreement with Henry County and the participating municipalities. She explained that the proposed distribution allocates 13.28% of the municipal share to the City of Stockbridge based on an agreed- upon formula utilizing 2004 population data and Georgia Municipal Association guidance, with an adjustment recognizing Hampton's population growth. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander provided additional context regarding the purpose of the legislation established under Senate Bill 33, explaining that the proposed 1% sales tax would be dedicated exclusively to reducing property taxes and would require voter approval during the November referendum. Alexander noted that, if approved by voters, the measure could substantially reduce the City's property tax millage while also providing county property tax relief for residents. He emphasized that the sales tax revenues could only be used for property tax reduction and that implementation would occur only if approved by voters. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander then thanked Henry County officials and the municipalities for collaboratively reaching the proposed distribution agreement. During discussion, Council clarified that the projected FLOST revenue would replace property tax revenue rather than generate additional revenue for the City. Staff further explained that the proposed funding structure would allow visitors and non-residents contributing through sales taxes, including hotel guests and travelers, to help offset locat property taxes. Council discussed the anticipated financial benefits to both city and county taxpayers. Motion to approve made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander; Seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 5-0. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A BLIGHT TAX Community Development Director Ryan Anderson & City Attorney Megan McCulloch presented the proposed Blighted Property Tax Ordinance, explaining that the ordinance is intended to establish a process for identifying and taxing qualifying blighted properties within the City of Stockbridge. The proposal defines blighted property through specific criteria and establishes the legal authority under state law to implement a Community Redevelopment Tax Program. Revenues generated from the tax would be dedicated exclusively to community redevelopment activities. Staff outlined the proposed enforcement process, which includes property identification, inspection, technical review, determination by the appropriate code enforcement officials, notification to the property owner, and formal designation as blighted. S5|Page --- page 6 --- Once designated, qualifying properties would be subject to a tax rate equal to ten (10) times the City's adopted millage rate, with revenues deposited into a Community Redevelopment Fund. In addition, designated properties would be placed on a public Blighted Property Registry and assessed an annual $1,500 regulatory fee. The City Attorney advised Council that revisions were still being made to merge staff's administrative recommendations with the draft ordinance presented to Council. She recommended postponing action until a second reading to ensure the ordinance was fully refined and consistent. Council expressed strong support for creating stronger enforcement mechanisms to address long-standing blighted properties throughout the city, including vacant commercial buildings, abandoned hotels, stalled construction projects, and neglected residential properties that are not owner-occupied. Councilmembers emphasized the need for an efficient enforcement process that complies with state law while minimizing unnecessary administrative delays. Discussion also included: « Clarification that the ordinance targets non-owner-occupied residential properties, commercial, industrial, and vacant structures, rather than primary residences. o The importance of establishing clear legal definitions of blight to support enforcement. « Concerns that property owners have historically paid existing fines without correcting violations, prompting discussion about whether the tax penalty should be increased beyond the proposed ten-times millage rate. Staff noted that state law permits penalties of up to twenty-five (25) times the adopted millage rate. « An estimated enforcement timeline of approximately 30 to 90 days, depending on property conditions, compliance efforts, and procedural requirements. Following discussion, Council agreed additional revisions were appropriate before adoption. A motion was made and seconded to advance the proposed Blighted Property Tax Ordinance to a second reading following incorporation of staff and legal revisions. Motion to move this to a second reading made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander,; Seconded by Councilmember Gantt. The motion passed 5-0. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SHOPPING CART CONTAINMENT AND RETRIEVAL REQUIREMENTS Motion to remove this item from the agenda made by Councilmember Gantt; Seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander.

You're making decisions based on half information that you're being given. You're making decisions that are affecting my district. This governing body is making a whole lot of decisions about my district but yet they're not spending much time in their own districts where their residents and business owners can hold them accountable for their decisions. You can't keep making decisions about my district and not hear from me. You're hear from me every time. But eventually, the 2 well, 3 newest members of this governing body are gonna realize they are being manipulated. | jumped that ship years ago. | will stand on my own 10 toes down on every decision that | make. Every one of them. You can't keep making decisions in my district affecting the people in my district and not be held accountable for it.

Council discussion also highlighted the City's improved financial position, including an approximately $15,000,000 fund balance (approximately 50% of the operating budget, well above the GMA-recommended 25-30%), and a total of approximately $21,000,000 recovered following prior Department of Justice audit findings.

(Amphitheater Rental Policy) Motion to amend the agenda to add discussion of the Amphitheater Rental Policy, made by Councilmember Barber seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 4-0 Operating Hours of the Amphitheater Mayor Pro Tem Alexander raised the issue of amphitheater operating hours in the context of the May 24 concert, during which inclement weather caused a delayed start and a hard cutoff at 11:00 PM, resulting in abbreviated performances. He proposed amending the noise ordinance to allow a midnight end time in cases of inclement weather or force majeure, an 11:30 PM limit for shows running late due to operational factors, with the standard 11:00 PM curfew remaining the default. Council discussion acknowledged competing interests between concertgoers, the City's fiscal responsibility, and the quality of life of nearby residents. Councilmember Barber opposed any extension of concert hours, citing the impact on homeowners in the surrounding district. Councilmember Berry expressed support for a compromise that would allow reasonable weather-related grace periods without significantly extending disruption to residents. City Attorney Megan McCulloch noted that any change would require formal enactment, including amendment of the noise ordinance and public notice, and confirmed she would prepare a more complete draft ordinance for a future meeting. No formal action was taken on this item. Amphitheater Rental Policy Councilmember Barber noted that the Council has never formally approved or adopted an amphitheater rental policy and moved to table the item to the next regular council meeting to 4|Page --- page 5 --- allow for a full presentation by the City Manager and amphitheater management staff. The motion to table resulted in a 2-0-2 vote (two in favor, two abstaining) and therefore failed. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander subsequently moved to adopt a temporary rental fee schedule as recommended by staff, to take effect inmediately, with a full presentation from City Events staff and the City Manager at the next regular meeting for final action.

Michelle Moody (100 Mimosa Drive) raised safety concerns about the intersection of Hillcrest Road and Bowen Drive, citing a dangerous creek with a steep drop-off and requesting consideration of a guardrail or barrier. She provided photographs and was directed to follow up with City Manager Mr. Edmondson. Charles Dubs (108 South Lee Street) spoke in opposition to the Lee Street name change, presenting documentation showing former Mayor Lee lived at 108 South Lee Street for years. He detailed Lee's contributions to Stockbridge, including helping establish Stockbridge High School, getting streets paved from McDonough to Atlanta, and bringing electricity to the city. Council voted 3-0-2 to allow him to complete his comments beyond the three-minute limit. Willie Carter (123 Wilson Ave) opposed the street name change, noting the city already has Martin Luther King Heritage Trail and expressing concern that changing the name would not benefit the underprivileged community area. Anthony Ford (708 Lilly Glenn Lane) spoke in favor of the street name change, explaining it would create MLK-named streets on both sides of downtown as it develops. He noted his personal connection to Dr. King through their shared fraternity membership and suggested adding "Doctor" to the proposed name. Ford believed this would make Stockbridge unique in having father and son honored on both sides of downtown. Judy Neal (174 Eagles Club Drive) opposed the name change, citing concerns about impacts on businesses like Pinehurst catering facility, potential delays in Google Maps updates, and costs. She referenced the estimated $95,000-$130,000 cost of statues in today's money and argued the city should focus on supporting Henry County School System initiatives instead of pursuing divisive street renaming. Charles Marshall (140 Somerset Hills) supported the street name change, noting that 955 streets have been named or renamed after MLK across 41 states and 1,000 other places worldwide. He emphasized the King family's historical connection to Stockbridge and the opportunity to honor Dr. King's legacy alongside the existing MLK Senior Heritage Trail. PRESENTATION Henry County Schools City of Stockbridge Update Presentation Assistant Superintendent Dr. Cemond Robinzine presented updates on behalf of Henry County Schools, joined by board members and principals from Stockbridge cluster schools. The presentation highlighted that Henry County Schools is the eighth largest district in Georgia with approximately 42,000 students and over 6,000 employees, making it the largest employer in Henry County. Key highlights included the community-inspired strategic plan with five strategic actions focusing on learning opportunities, educator retention, community connections, health and wellness, and operational culture. The district has achieved notable successes including Stockbridge Elementary School exiting the federal Target Support 2|Page --- page 3 --- Improvement designation, significant safety infrastructure investments totaling over $30 million, and expansion of arts and STEM programs. The presentation covered upcoming E-SPLOST VIl initiatives and the development of a new five-year strategic plan. Mayor Williams opened the floor for discussion: Mayor Pro Tem Alexander asked about a previous study on school capacity that indicated pockets of high intensity but overall available seats in the school system despite community growth; Questioned how the recent school enrollment trends align with growth and capacity planning. Deputy Superintendent Summer Cox confirmed the district conducts periodic enroliment studies with external partners. She noted a slight overall reduction in school enroliment over recent years, consistent with state and national trends and projected some growth in enrollment at specific schools over the next 5-10 years, with plans for additions at Dutchtown Elementary and Tussahaw Elementary. Mentioned that community development does not always translate to increased school enroliment. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander asked about growth and capacity specifically for Flippin Elementary and Union Grove Elementary schools, noting that many students in his district attend these schools while having McDonough addresses. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander then requested data on these schools’ enroliments and expressed interest in pursuing safe routes to school funding for sidewalk connections in new neighborhoods near Hickory Flat Elementary and Flippin Elementary. Deputy Superintendent Summer Cox acknowledged the requests and indicated willingness to follow up on possible sidewalk projects and safe routes to school funding. Noting that the E-SPLOST VII plan is under review and that suggestions for sidewalk improvements may be considered for future projects. Councilmember Gantt inquired about population planning and expressed appreciation for reduced use of trailers and new school additions. CONSENT AGENDA Confirmation of the Chief of Police Scott Hamilton with an official start date of April 13, 2026. Motion: Mayor Pro Tem Alexander motioned to confirm Scott Hamilton as the new Chief of Police with an official start date of April 13, 2026; seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The Motion passed 5-0. Chief Hamilton addressed the governing body, thanking them for their confidence and promising to elevate the already respected Stockbridge Police Department to the next level with professionalism, transparency, and accountability. He introduced his family and committed to serving his new Stockbridge family. 3|Page --- page 4 --- Mayor Pro Tem Alexander noted that Chief Hamilton is the first African American police chief appointed in both the city of Austell and the city of Stockbridge. OLD BUSINESS Street Name Changes for North Lee Street and South Lee Street Community Development Director Ryan Anderson reported that staff conducted additional research through over 60 pages of documents but could not find conclusive evidence of who Lee Street was named after. Motion: Mayor Pro Tem Alexander motioned to rename North Lee Street and South Lee Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way; seconded by Councilmember Gantt. Discussion: Councilmember Barber stated her opposition to the name change. She emphasized that North Lee and South Lee streets are in her district, and the initiative did not originate from her, but affects the residents and stakeholders in the district she is duly elected to represent. She expressed concern about impacts on homeowners and business owners who have lived on Lee Street for decades and noted their public comments opposing the change. Barber requested that council reconsider the initiative, stating it would not benefit her district. Councilmember Berry questioned Mr. Anderson about the research findings. Anderson confirmed they found evidence of former Mayor Lee living on Lee Street but could not locate definitive documentation stating the street was named after him. Based on typical street naming conventions involving largest property owners, first settlers, landmarks, or famous people, Anderson suggested it could “likely” be concluded the street was named after the Lee family. Councilmember Barber presented and referenced an administrator's deed of sale stamped by Henry County that showed William Jackson Lee's connection to the property, citing it supported the street being named after former Mayor Lee. Mayor Williams called for the vote: The Motion passed 3-1-1 (Councilmember Barber opposed, Counciimember Berry Abstained). NEW BUSINESS Council consideration to approve the increase in the City's paid Basic Life Insurance benefit from $10,000 to $50,000, effective April 1, 2026. Human Resources Director Dwayne Pollock presented the proposal using the EPAS model (enhance, provide, align, strengthen) to improve employee benefits. He noted that the current life insurance policy benefit amount of $10,000 is insufficient and is not enough to cover typical funeral expenses in today’s economy. The increase would raise monthly costs from $2.65 to $11.20 per employee, with a total annual cost increase of $19,000. Mr. Pollock emphasized that the adjustment would demonstrate the City’s commitment to employee well-being, provide stronger financial protection, improve competitiveness with peer municipalities, and support talent recruitment and retention. Councilmember Barber inquired about a specific budget line item, to which Mr. Pollack confirmed that the line item is described as "employee group life insurance.” 4|Page --- page 5 --- Councilmember Barber then asked for the approved budgeted amount for this line item. Mr. Pollack responded, “when we receive the annual renewals for the carrier for insurance, the annual amount for this particular coverage is $5,846.00.” Motion: Councilmember Gantt motioned to authorize the increase of the city's basic life and AD&D benefit from $10,000 to $50,000 effective April 1, 2026; seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander.

Yes, ma'am” Motion: Councilmember Gantt motioned to approve; seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The Motion passed 5-0. Council consideration to approve the purchase of two vehicles for departmental use at a cost not to exceed $94,910. The funding for this purchase is available in the fiscal year 2026 budget. Community Development Director Ryan Anderson explained the request is for two vehicles - one for the permitting and inspections division and one for the new business compliance officer position. He noted that in 2023, the city promised five vehicles when permitting and inspection was brought in-house, but this equipment had not been received until now and is presenting the request for two trucks. 5|Page --- page 6 --- Councilmember Barber asked if the purchase was included in the community development budget, to which Mr. Anderson confirmed, “Yes.” Motion: Councilmember Gantt motioned to approve; seconded by Councilmember Berry.

Councilmember Alexander asked about preliminary cost estimates, and Price around $40 million, but acknowledged they had been "spitballing" previously with noted: "when you're talking about a bridge, that's millions of dollars right there. if you don't have to do a bridge. it can save you millions," Alexander expressed his view on timing and property acquisition.
