CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA JULY 11, 1994

The regular meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held July 11, 1994 at 7:00 p.m. with Mayor Kelley
presiding and members present were Harold Cochran, G. W. Evans, W. A. Gardner, F. J. Hunter and Ronnie
Simmons.

Motion to convene was made by Harold Cochran, seconded by F. J. Hunter and passed unanimously.

Michael V. McKibben and Kimberly A. McKibben presented an application for annexation of 20.304 acres of
property they own located on North Henry Boulevard and north of Brannan Road. Motion to annex was made
by G. W. Evans, seconded by F. J. Hunter and passed unanimously.

Mayor Kelley informed Council that, in the past, the City has not been required to test wastewater for zinc.
The Georgia Environmental Protection Division has notified the City that an effluent level has been
established for zinc. The City does not meet the new standards. Dan Dickson, plant operator, has contacted
Engineering Science Lab in Atlanta to begin testing to locate the source of zinc in the City's wastewater
system. Ted Strickland emphasized that the zinc level is not much over the new levels set by EPD and we
should be able to track down the source. Mayor Kelley recommended locks for manholes. This would prevent
the dumping of illegal substances into the City's sewer lines. Motion was made by Harold Cochran to
authorize Ted Strickland to check out methods to lock manholes, seconded by W. A. Gardner and passed
unanimously.

Bill White, Stevenson & Palmer Engineering, Inc., has submitted a proposal for an engineering study of future
sewer needs in the City. The main sewer to the plant appears to be of inadequate size to handle future flows.
Mayor Kelley emphasized that, at present time, the system is adequate but as the number of customers
increases, the City wants to be ahead of the situation. Therefore, this study will help Council determine what
should be done to up-grade the sewer lines to take care of growth. The study will include all sewer lines in
the City and also the cost to sewer Shepherd Drive and Woodhaven Drive at the same time. The total lump
sum fee to complete the study will be $8,300. Motion was made by Ronnie Simmons to proceed with study,
seconded by F. J. Hunter and passed unanimously.

Mayor Kelley advised Council that every three years, the City must renew permit to discharge treated
wastewater into Brushy Creek. In order to renew National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit with Environmental Protection Division, the Council must review the Compliance Maintenance Annual
Report and cause actions necessary to maintain effluent requirements contained in the NPDES Permit.
Motion was made by F. J. Hunter to authorize the Clerk to sign Compliance Maintenance Resolution,
seconded by W. A. Gardner and passed unanimously.
Big Oak Villas, Unit Three, 136 Oak Circle South, was built too close to the existing sewer line. The sewer
line has been relocated ten feet from the corner of the house. A. J. Welch prepared an easement for J. C.
Brinson and Mid-State Drainage Products, Inc. to execute. The easement has been executed and is being
recorded. Motion was made by Harold Cochran to officially approve moving the sewer line and granting of
the easement, seconded by Ronnie Simmons and passed unanimously.

Mayor Kelley told Council that he has received request from Georgia Municipal Association for assistance
for the flood victims in south Georgia and recommended sending a cash donation. Harold Cochran made a
motion to appropriate $1,000.00. F. J. Hunter recommended sending $2,000.00. Harold Cochran withdrew
motion. Motion was made by F. J. Hunter to approve $2,000.00, seconded by G. W. Evans and passed
unanimously.

Mayor Kelley noticed Paul McCullough, Club Drive, in the audience and asked if Georgia Power Company
has been out to cut the trees down caused by the flooding of the creek in his back yard. Mr. McCullough
stated that they have not been out yet. Mr. Strickland noted that he had called Georgia Power and they will
take care of the trees as soon as possible. Mayor Kelley instructed Mr. Strickland to stay on top of this
problem.
