Mayor Stuart asked Attorney Welch to cite the motion for the Resolution for land acquisition as discussed in
Executive Session. Attorney Welch stated that Mr. & Mrs. Mark Weeks have made an offer to sell and the
Mayor and Council have agreed to purchase the property (4632 North Henry Boulevard, Stockbridge,
Georgia, Land Lot 61 of the 12th District, Henry County, Georgia) for the sum of $421,500.00. A contract
has been prepared by the Meeks' attorney and has been executed by them. The Resolution also
accompanies with it an appraisal of the property and certain other assets that show that the value is some
eight hundred thousand
dollars, even in the light of that there would be independent appraisals obtained of all of the property that is
being acquired. If the evaluations come within 95% of the purchase price set forth in the contract, the City
would agree to go forward with it. If it comes back less than that, the Meeks can either void the contract or
accept the lesser value. If the appraisals come back in excess of that figure of $421,500.00, the City would
not have to pay any additional funds. Therefore, the maximum exposure for the City to buy the property would
be $421,500.00, and that is the amount of funds that would go directly to the Meeks. From that, the Meeks
are giving the City a General Warranty Deed, and agreeing to pay all of the debts, Hens and claims that may
exist against the property and to convey 100% of the title to the property to the City. Attorney Welch noted
that this is a general statement of the Resolution. Seconded by Councilman Evans. Passed unanimously 5-

Motion to adjourn made by Councilwoman Gilbert, Seconded by Councilman Evans. Passed Unanimously
5-0.

Respectfully submitted by:

Vanessa Holiday, City Clerk

Lee Stuart, Mayor
