PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Paul Turner raised questions about the VyStar Amphitheater Agreement; expressed
concerns about the city being fiscally responsible and questioned the redaction of
information of Open Records Requests.

Mayor Ford noted the VyStar Amphitheater Agreement was signed by the city’s
Amphitheater Representative, and the contract agreement was approved by the City
Council members who were present during the January 8th Retreat meeting, noting
Mayor Pro Tem Gantt and Councilmember Barber were not in attendance, and noted
the agreement had been distributed to all members of the Governing Body earlier in the
month of January, and that the contract is a legal document.

Councilmember Barber noted the Retreat Meeting Agenda was amended to add the
VyStar Amphitheater Agreement, noting the Retreat Agenda was to discuss HB581, and
that the full Council was not aware the Amphitheater Naming Rights Agreement was
going to be presented at the January 8 Retreat; and noted for the record that she did
not write the statement made by Mr. Turner.

Mayor Pro Tem Gantt noted the Retreat meetings are advertised and posted by the City
Clerk to the public, noting she was not in attendance of the January 8 Retreat meeting,
and noted the City Council attends Retreat meetings twice each year, and they have
always been published and are open to the public.

PRESENTATION
2. Financial Report as of December 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
Presented by: Frank Milazi, City Treasurer/CFO
Mr. Milazi presented an unaudited review of the FY2024 financials highlighting
the Statement of Revenues for all funds, and Statement of Expenditures for all
funds, noting there were several non-budgeted and non-funded expenses in
FY2024 that need to be adjusted and cleaned up with budget amendments; and
noted the Amphitheater was budgeted at $2million and expenses were $6 million.
2|Page
Councilmember Alexander noted the full financial reports are available for review,
and that in the essence of time, line by line discussion is not necessary,
acknowledging that some of the numbers are alarming, however, in its totality,
the overall financial position of the city is good.

Mr. Milazi agreed, noting during the City Council Retreat in March of this year, he
and the city’s Financial Advisor were tasked with building up the city’s Fund
Balance account, and thanked the City Council for approving the Finance Policy
that will support those efforts.

Councilmember Alexander stated he is hopeful the FLOST will go on the
November 2025 ballot to help generate funds and perhaps alleviate the city’s
millage.

Mr. Milazi noted his main concern is the non-budgeted and overspending of the
budget, and the city needs to be more fiscally responsible, and to utilize
TSPLOST and SPLOST funding which are better suited rather than the city’s
General Fund, noting the FY2024 Operating Budget was $26 million, and $28
million was spent.

Mayor Pro Tem Gantt noted city facilities, such as the Merle Manders
Conference Center and the Amphitheater are capital projects and not going to
make money, as was indicated in the LCI Study where anchor buildings are
designed to bring economic development to the area and attract developers; and
noted the next project slated is the Community Center.

PUBLIC HEARING (Mayor Ford read the Public Hearing Rules)
3. REZONING CASE #RZ-2025-02 FOR 4482 NORTH HENRY BOULEVARD.
(Property is located in Council District 4.)
Consideration of a city-initiated rezoning request to rezone property at 4482
North Henry Boulevard (Parcel #S26-01014000) from ‘SR’ (Suburban
Residential) and ‘DTV’ (Downtown Village Overlay District) to ‘PUD Master Plan
(Planned Unit Development Master Plan) and ‘DTV’ (Downtown Village Overlay
District) for the purpose of allowing the construction of a mixed-residential
development. The City of Stockbridge owns this property and is the applicant.
The property contains 15.43 +/- acres, and it is located in Land Lots 61 & 62 of
District 12.
Presented by: Ryan Anderson, Community Development Director
Mr. Anderson presented an overview of the city-initiated Rezoning Case #RZ-
2025-02, noted the Planning Commission recommended approval.

Councilmember Barber noted the Rezoning Case is located in her Council
District 4, and that she supports redevelopment of the downtown, and questioned
the signed Rezoning Application and LOI (Letters of Intent), and noted her
requests for months to receive appraisals that should be shared with all
Councilmembers, especially considering she is the District Representative for the
proposed Rezoning and development,

3|Page
Mayor Ford noted he signed the Rezoning Application not the (LOI) Letter of
Intent and noted there have been no closed-door meetings.

Mayor Pro Tem Gantt noted there is an LOI (Letter of Intent), however, there is
no contract, and noted matters of real estate discussion needs to be reserved for
Executive Session.

Mr. Anderson noted Mayor Ford signed the Rezoning Application in his capacity
as Acting City Manager, and that rezoning the property will assist in moving the
development forward.

PUBLIC HEARING OPENED
No Speakers in Favor
Speakers Opposed: Mr. Paul Turner, Mr. Kenneth Sands, Ms. Buquesha Perpall,
Ms. Tira Brown, Ms. Brenda Callaway, and Mr. Richard Ordonez

PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED

Mayor Ford asked staff to address street lighting in the proposed area and along
North Henry Blvd.

Mr. Aaron noted the developer would be required to submit a street lighting plan
for approval.

Councilmember Alexander referenced the newly installed lighting along East
Atlanta Rd., and noted the city has $2 million dollars allocated in TSPLOST for
the Rock Quarry Road Expansion, and that the city is seeking additional funding
to complete the project.

Mr. Aaron noted monies are set aside for the design of the Rock Quarry Road
Expansion that was approved by the voters, noting it will take several months for
the design considering the wetlands and surrounding properties, and will take
months of planning.

Councilmember Barber asked her colleagues to focus on the infrastructure of the
downtown area before moving forward with more development, noting during the
recent Retreat, the city’s Financial Advisor advised the city’s residential
properties are approximately 69% of the city’s tax base, and commercial is 31%,
and that should be the opposite too much of the burden being placed on
residential; and noted 99% of the (9) nine developments in Council District 4
have been outside of the downtown area, and that the city should seek
commercial economic development opportunities throughout the entire city with
retail and restaurants, not just at Jodeco, Eagles Landing Parkway and Walt
Stephens Road.

Councilmember Alexander noted $3 million dollars has been allocated to the
downtown area and improvements with the Amphitheater spurring economic
development; referenced the right turn lane that was added, noted Rock Quarry
Road widening is out for bid that will become four lanes; and noted businesses

4|Page
follow new construction, noting the average home in the downtown area in Old
Stockbridge was built in 1966.

Councilmember Alexander noted Tim Horton’s is coming to the proposed area,
and noted businesses need to know there are new rooftops who will support their
businesses; noted the city did a re-write of the Code to improve design
standards, and that the overall theme is to bring young families in and bring life to
the downtown area.

Mr. Anderson noted that the city needs to increase density in the downtown area
to help promote businesses.

Mayor Ford noted the Rock Quarry Road Expansion will also benefit access
to/from Piedmont Hospital and will be a much-improved route for emergencies.

Councilmember Barber referenced the Downtown Development Authority’s
Market Study prepared by Georgia Tech, noting the study calls for 1700 rooftops
in the downtown area, however, the developments in Council District 4 have
been along Davis Road, State Route 42 and Valley Hill Road, all outside of the
downtown area, and respectfully asked her colleagues not approve any more
developments until a Master Plan could be completed to show the infrastructure
plan and improvements.

Mr. Sanders agreed with what has been said, noting businesses in the downtown
area are struggling for business, and need customers; noted the daytime
customers are not there, and that needs to change, and that the proposed 3-acre
development across from city hall will include a residential component, and the
businesses need homeowners patronizing their businesses regularly, not just
visiting during the concert season, and expressed the importance of foot traffic in
the downtown area.

Councilmember Barber agreed, noting her support to revitalize the downtown,
and that 998 units have been approved outside of the downtown area with no
commercial development.

Councilmember Alexander noted the city is focused on affordable housing, and
noted the County chose Stockbridge for the new STEM School.

Mayor Pro Tem Gantt noted the conversations to expand Rock Quarry Road
began prior to 2013, and that the city is trying to attract young urban
professionals to the area with this development which is less than one mile away
from the downtown; noting the city is requiring developments to have a
commercial component as the vision is to make Stockbridge a Live, Work, Play
community.

Mayor Ford noted the Amphitheater will be paid off this year in August, and the
city will focus on the next project.

Rate in accordance with HB92 and HB581.
Presented by: Frank Milazi, City Treasurer/CFO, Ed Wall, Financial Advisor
(online)
Mr. Milazi referenced HB581 which requires municipalities to provide an estimate
of the rollback, noting the City did so, and provided to the County, and that
Governor Kemp then approved an amendment HB92 which requires the municipal
government to officially adopt the estimated rollback. Mr. Milazi noted the action
taken today does not affect the tax process that takes place every year, and that
the action today is to meet the requirements of HB581 and HB92; and noted the
Resolution would give the City Treasurer the authority to send the estimated the
1|Page
millage rate of 3.77 and submit to the County; and noted the city’s Financial
Advisor, Ed Wall, is available online for any questions, and reiterated this action
does not affect the millage rate to be set in July based on the budget.

Mayor Ford noted the proposed millage of 3.77 is the same as it currently set and
has been for two years.

Mr. Milazi confirmed, noting the actual millage rate would be set at a later date in
July of 2025.

Councilmember Barber asked if the July public hearing dates have been set.

Mr. Milazi noted the County has not confirmed the city’s Public Hearing Dates as
yet.

Councilmember Alexander noted that if the millage rate remains the same, that is
considered to be a tax increase and public hearings will be required, and the
actions today are the result of new provisions by the State.

Mr. Milazi confirmed, noting the Governing Body is required to act by April 24,
2025.

Councilmember Barber noted for the record that she did not support the FY2025
Budget, and does support HB581 and HB92, and prefers a decrease in the millage
rate.

Mayor Pro Tem Gantt joined the meeting at 3:19 p.m.

Motion to approve a Resolution for the Estimated 2025 Millage Rate of 3.77 in

FY 2025 FIRST QUARTER UPDATE
Infrastructure

Infrastructure investment is critical to a city’s continued economic
success. And aging, deteriorating and obsolete infrastructure, along
with rising expectations of what infrastructure should deliver, challenge
a city’s ability to meet public expectations. Cities must expand and
modernize its infrastructure across various sectors to help ensure they
continue to provide businesses, both large and small, an environment
where they can successfully grow and operate. Research has shown that
well designed investments in infrastructure can increase long-term
economic growth, productivity and land values, while also providing
significant positive spillovers to areas such as economic development,
energy efficiency, public health and manufacturing. Improving
infrastructure will not only create economic opportunity for residents,
but also improve their fundamental quality of life.
Some Rules of Thumb –
Expected Life

� Pipelines and valves: 40-50 years
� Mechanical equipment: 15 years
� Wells and springs: 25-35 years
� Storage tanks: 30-60 years
� Meters: 10-15 years
� Lift stations: 15-20 years
