CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA DECEMBER 31, 1991

The special meeting of the City Council was held December 31, 1991 at noon. Members present were G.
W. Evans, W. A. Gardner and Ronnie Simmons.

Motion was made by Ronnie Simmons to convene, seconded by W. A. Gardner, motion carried.

It was noted that Georgia Municipal Association has collected past due business licenses from insurance
companies for the City of Stockbridge, sending fifty percent to the City and retaining fifty percent as a
collection fee. In the past, they have not collected the current years and have only collected licenses that
were several years past due. A. J. Welch, City Attorney, recommended the Council request payment in full
for the current years and notify GMA not to collect any future past due licenses until the City furnishes GMA
with a past due list.

Ted Strickland, City Manager, advised Council that Michael Guttery had been involved in a traffic accident.
Officer Smith will furnish a copy of the accident report to be forwarded to insurance company.

Council discussed the annexation of Vulcan Materials on Quarry Road. A. J. Welch advised Council that
Vulcan Materials had two concerns. Their first concern was would this change cause Henry County to be
upset with Vulcan Materials? Vulcan Materials has a good working relationship with Henry County and would
not want to do anything to change the status of their relationship. Mr. Welch assured Vulcan Materials
executives that Henry County has notified the City of Stockbridge in writing, that they have no problem with
Vulcan Materials annexing into the City. Their second concern is that the zoning cannot be changed by the
City of Stockbridge, only the owner of property can make a zoning change. Motion was made by W. A.
Gardner to adopt an ordinance to annex Vulcan Materials, pending receipt of Application for Annexation,
seconded by Ronnie Simmons and passed unanimously.

Motion to adjourn was made by Ronnie Simmons, seconded by W. A. Gardner, motion carried. Meeting
adjourned at 12:45 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Merle Manders R. G. Kelley
City Clerk Mayor
