July 1, 2008
CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE MINUTES
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA JULY 1, 2008

A Special Emergency Meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held on July 1, 2008 at 4:00P.M. Fred
Evans, Mayor Pro Tem presided and members present were Harold Cochran, Shirley Dabney, W.A.Gardner,
and Kathryn Gilbert. Mayor Kelley was absent on vacation.

Harold Cochran made a motion to convene; Kathryn Gilbert seconded, and passed unanimously.

The invocation was given by Kathryn Gilbert.

Ted Strickland stated that this meeting was called for the discussion and approval of a replacement asbestos
transite water line on East Atlanta Road and to get this line installed before new sidewalks and streets are
installed. The contractor is working on the streets and sidewalks at this time and the Council needs to get
this water line in the ground before the streets and sidewalks are installed to prevent tearing them out later.
The new water line will go all the way around the new town green and under and across East Atlanta Road
to the new water fountain. If we wait to July 14 or 15 they maybe ready to pave the sidewalk.

Councilman Evans asked as far as the City is concerned, once this water line is installed, the City should
never have to cut East Atlanta Road. Councilwoman Gilbert asked if there is still an issue with sanitary
sewer. Ted Strickland responded that the City should not have to dig up East Atlanta Road in that area
because the water line will run under East Atlanta Road to provide water service on both sides of East Atlanta
Road.

Mr. Strickland said that in the next phase of construction from Love Street up, there may be some widening
which will not have anything to do with the sidewalks on this project.

Kathryn Gilbert made a motion to approve a change order to install a water line under an existing contract
with JTV Construction Company on the new City Hall as a contract amendment under the emergency clause
with JTV in the amount of $216,479; Harold Cochran seconded, and passed unanimously.
No other business was discussed.

Harold Cochran made a motion to convene; W. A. Gardner seconded, passed unanimously. Meeting
adjourned at 4:15 P. M.

Respectively submitted,

Merle Manders, CMC Fred Evans
City Clerk Mayor Pro Tem
