CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA JANUARY 30, 1984

The special meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held January 30, 1984 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor
Kelley presiding and members present were Harold Cochran, G. W. Evans, Ross McMichael, Joe Simmons
and Ronnie Simmons.

Richard Harris, McIntosh Trail APDC, was present to review the process of making application for a grant
through the Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Program to develop a City park on 9.7 acres owned
by the City on East Atlanta Road. This grant program requires matching funds equal to fifty percent of the
total project cost to be paid by the City. The City must also agree to utilize a qualified consultant to plan and
design the park. Mr. Harris stated that McIntosh Trail has a consultant on staff who would do this work for
the City for a smaller cost than a private consultant.

For Mr. Harris to proceed with the application, it would be necessary for the City Council to adopt two
resolutions:

The first resolution would certify that the City of Stockbridge will comply with Title VI of the 1964 Civil
Rights Act. Motion was made by Joe Simmons to authorize Mayor Kelley to sign the resolution on
the behalf of the City of Stockbridge, seconded by Ross McMichael and passed unanimously.

The second resolution would authorize McIntosh Trail to make pre-application for a matching grant
with the Land and Water Conservation Fund for the City of Stockbridge. Motion was made by Ronnie
Simmons to authorize Mayor Kelley to sign the pre-application forms on the behalf of the City of
Stockbridge, seconded by Harold Cochran and passed unanimously.

Bids on garbage truck were opened. Low bid was $31,225 from Consolidated Disposal Systems, Inc. for a
1984 Ford-F800 with a Dempsey Dumpster compactor. This truck comes with hydraulic brakes that work
similar to air brakes. W. A. Gardner was instructed to order the truck with air brakes if it will not delay delivery
and the cost is not over $1,200. Motion was made by G. W. Evans to accept low bid, seconded by Harold
Cochran and passed unanimously.

Meeting adjourned 7:40 p.m.

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