COUNCIL MEMBER ANDY BAUMAN. PLEASE JOIN ME FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS. ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. MADAM CLERK,

[IV. Public Comment]

MR. LEEDS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS STEVE LEEDS. I LIVE AT 6410 RADIANT TRACE. I AM THE PRESIDENT OF ARIA WEST COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION. MAYOR PAUL COUNCIL ON JANUARY 21ST.

MAYOR PAUL, YOUR PARTING WORDS WERE NEIGHBORHOODS NEED TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE. AND MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL, YOU NEED TO BUILD TRUST. AND I'M HERE TONIGHT WITH KIMBERLY OLIVER TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON OUR NEGOTIATIONS WITH MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL. I'M PARAPHRASING OR TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT MAYOR PAUL SAID, BUT THAT WAS THE MESSAGE WE HEARD. AS A RESULT, THE SCHOOL REACHED OUT TO US IN MARCH. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING WITH THE NEGOTIATING TEAM FROM MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL, WHICH WAS THEIR BOARD CHAIR, THEIR HEAD OF SCHOOL AND ONE OTHER, AND WE HAD REACHED WHAT WE AND THEY CONSIDERED TO BE A BALANCED UNDERSTANDING ON THE SUBSTANCE OF A PERPETUAL DEAL THAT WOULD GOVERN THE LIGHTING, SOUND, LANDSCAPING, BUFFERS AND USE PARAMETERS ON THE SCHOOL'S OUTDOOR ATHLETIC FIELDS ACROSS THE ENTIRE 40 ACRE CAMPUS, WHILE MAINTAINING PARAMETERS OF PEACEFUL AND QUIET ENJOYMENT FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS. MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL CHOSE TO BUILD ONE FIELD RATHER THAN THE TWO THEY HAD THE RIGHT TO BUILD TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR CROSS COUNTRY AND TRACK FAMILIES AND REDUCE CONSTRUCTION COSTS. IN JULY, KIMBERLY OLIVER AND I PRESENTED THIS BALANCED UNDERSTANDING TO OUR RESPECTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS. HAD A LONG MEETING, LOTS OF QUESTIONS, LOTS OF ANSWERS, AND WE OBTAINED THE APPROVAL OF OUR RESPECTIVE NEIGHBORHOODS AND REPORTED THAT BACK TO THE SCHOOL, WE WERE TOLD THAT UNDERSTANDING WAS ENDORSED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE SCHOOL AS WELL, AND THE SCHOOL ACKNOWLEDGED THE UNDERSTANDING IN A COMMUNICATION TO THEIR SCHOOL FAMILY. ON JULY 25TH, SAYING THAT THERE WAS A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT. THEY STATED, QUOTE, WE BELIEVE WE HAVE ACHIEVED A BALANCED UNDERSTANDING, ACCEPTABLE TO ALL PARTIES AND HOPE TO HAVE THIS FINALIZED IN THE WEEKS TO COME. THIS MEANS THAT WE DO ANTICIPATE HAVING LIGHTS ON THE RON HILL FIELD. THAT PERPETUAL AGREEMENT CALLED FOR TEN NIGHTS OF LIGHTS AND SOUND ON THE FIELD UNTIL 930, AND 18 NIGHTS OF LIGHTS ONLY FOR PRACTICE UNTIL SEVEN IN AUGUST. MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL THEN ADVISED US THAT THEIR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PUSHED BACK AND WANTED ADDITIONAL NIGHT OF PRACTICE ON MONDAYS. WE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED THAT AND AGREED TO IT EVEN THEN. OKAY, I'LL PASS THIS ON TO MISS OLIVER. GOOD EVENING. KIMBERLY OLIVER. I'M THE PRESIDENT OF MOUNT VERNON WOODS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, AND I LIVE AT 6485 WILLIAMSON DRIVE. SO WE STARTED TO TALK ABOUT IN AUGUST, THE ATHLETIC

[00:05:04]

AFTER THAT, MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL CAME BACK AGAIN AND PROPOSED MAJOR CHANGES, INCREASING GAME NIGHT LIGHTS BY 50%, DOUBLING PRACTICE NIGHTS FROM 24 TO 48, EXTENDING PRACTICE HOURS TO 730, AND LIMITING THE AGREEMENT FROM PERPETUITY TO TEN YEARS. AFTER FURTHER CONSIDERATION FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD, WE COUNTERED WITH A 20 YEAR TERM, ONE EXTRA NIGHT OF LIGHTS AND AMPLIFIED SOUND FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM, AND EXTENDED PRACTICE LIGHTS TILL 730, BUT WE COULD NOT AGREE TO THE DOUBLE THE NIGHT OF PRACTICE LIGHTS. WE WENT THROUGH A LOT OF CONSIDERATION DETERMINING PRACTICE LIGHTS BY THE SEASON, THE GAME SCHEDULE AND HOW MANY TEAMS PLAYED. WE AGREED TO ALLOW PRACTICE LIGHTS FROM JANUARY 15TH TO MARCH 1ST, WHICH IS UNFORTUNATELY THE HARDEST SEASON FOR OUR NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THERE'S NO VEGETATION ON THE TREES.

UNFORTUNATELY, MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL BOARD TREATED THE NEGOTIATION COMPROMISE NOT AS A RESOLUTION, BUT AS A STARTING POINT TO PUSH FOR MORE SEEKING ITS FULL WISH LIST WITHOUT EQUAL REGARD FOR NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT. WE CONSIDERED THE SCHOOL AND TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE NEEDS. AFTER AGREEING TO A 20 YEAR AGREEMENT INSTEAD OF IN PERPETUITY, ADDING SIX MORE PRACTICE LIGHTS UNTIL 730 AND AN ADDITIONAL ONE MORE FOOTBALL TEAM, MOUNT VERNON SCHOOL WOULD NOT AGREE. WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED AND SHOCKED WHEN THE BOARD DID NOT AGREE WITH OUR OUR BALANCED AGREEMENT. IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECALL WHERE WE STARTED. WE DON'T WANT LIGHTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT THE NOISE AND ACTIVITY THAT THOSE LIGHTS WILL BRING. WE WANT PEACEFUL AND QUIET ENJOYMENT OF OUR HOMES, AND WE BELIEVE THEIR EFFORTS WILL CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF OUR TWO COMMUNITIES IN A DETRIMENTAL MANNER. HOWEVER, NOT WANTING TO TO FIGHT THIS FIGHT EVERY YEAR AND UNDERSTANDING THAT AS MAYOR PAUL ASKED US TO DO COMPROMISE REQUIRES SOME FLEXIBILITY AND TRADE OFFS. US WAS TO ACHIEVE AN AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BUY PEACE IN PERPETUITY. IS NOT ACTING IN GOOD FAITH. WHEN YOU COME UP WITH A BALANCED AGREEMENT IN JULY, THEY COME BACK IN AUGUST WANTING MORE.

THEY COME BACK IN SEPTEMBER WANTING MORE AND CHANGING WHAT WE ALL AGREED TO, INCLUDING THE ANNOUNCEMENT THEY MADE TO THEIR OWN FAMILIES IN JULY. SO THAT IS OUR UPDATE. THANK YOU, MISS OLIVER. ANY OTHER? NO. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL CLOSE THE THE PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD. IS THERE

[00:20:05]

IS THERE A SECOND SECOND MOTION BY MISS MUELLER, SECONDED BY DOCTOR KELLY, THAT WE APPROVE? AGENDA ITEM 2025 251 A CONTRACT AWARD TO ACCELERATE CONSTRUCTION TO CONSTRUCT THE MOUNTAIN CREEK ROAD STORMWATER MAINTENANCE PHASE ONE PROJECT. ANY DISCUSSION? MR. PAULSON? THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. WE'LL CALL THE QUESTION. THE QUESTION IS ON AGENDA ITEM 2025 251, APPROVING A CONTRACT AWARD TO ACCELERATE CONSTRUCTION FOR THE MOUNTAIN CREEK ROAD STORMWATER MAINTENANCE PHASE ONE PROJECT.

ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION? SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED. THE CLERK WILL PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2025 252. THIS IS CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE APPLICATION TO AND PARTICIPATION IN THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES AND CONGESTION MITIGATION, AIR QUALITY COMPETITIVE FUNDING PROGRAM, AND TO APPROVE THE REQUIRED LOCAL FUNDING MATCH AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE GRANT AGREEMENT, GRANT AWARD AGREEMENT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. PRESENTED BY PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR MARTY MARTIN. MR. MARTIN, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, TONIGHT, I BRING BEFORE YOU A REQUEST FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR US TO ENTER INTO AN APPLICATION FOR A COMPETITIVE FUNDING PROGRAM FOR A FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES AND CONGESTION MITIGATION GRANT. THIS YEAR, GDOT IS ADMINISTERING THIS COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL AS OPPOSED TO ATLANTA REGIONAL COMMISSION IN YEARS PAST. SANDY SPRINGS IS ELIGIBLE FOR BOTH TYPES OF FUNDING. BOTH THE TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES AND CONGESTION CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY GRANTS, OFTEN REFERRED TO AS CMEC GRANTS NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY, WAS ISSUED SEPTEMBER 15TH AND APPLICATIONS ARE DUE FOR THIS GRANT OCTOBER 31ST OF THIS YEAR. QUICK OVERVIEW OF ELIGIBLE PROJECT TYPES FOR THIS GRANT MONIES. PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES AS EVIDENCED BY THE TA PORTION AND ROUNDABOUTS AND OTHER EMISSION REDUCING INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS AS ASSOCIATED WITH THE CMAC PORTION OF THE GRANT. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. AS WITH MOST FEDERAL GRANTS, A 20% LOCAL FUNDING MATCH AND ANOTHER STIPULATION OF THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM IS THAT THE WORK CANNOT INCREASE EMISSIONS WITHIN THE AREA, SO NO CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT OR INCREASED PROJECTS ET-CETERA NO ADDITIONAL LANES ET-CETERA PRIOR TO. GIVEN THOSE THAT MITIGATE EMISSIONS AND REDUCTIONS, AND AS WELL AN ADDED EMPHASIS THIS YEAR IS PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE SAFETY. NOTIFICATION OF AWARD FOR THIS PARTICULAR GRANT IS EXPECTED IN LATE APRIL OF NEXT YEAR. THE PROJECT RECOMMENDED FOR THIS PARTICULAR GRANT IS REVIEW OF ALL ELIGIBLE CANDIDATE SITES WITHIN THE CITY IS A STREETSCAPE SIDE PATH ON HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD FROM SPALDING DRIVE TO THE CITY LIMITS AT CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER.

IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT AREA, THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT AT ALL ALONG THAT ROAD.

SHOULDER ON THE SANDY SPRINGS SIDE OF HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD THERE NOW. NO SO THUS NO WALKING OR BICYCLING FACILITIES EXIST OUT THERE ON THAT SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS PROJECT WOULD CONNECT HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD, RIVER EXCHANGE, PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS ALREADY CONSTRUCTED BY THE CITY, AS WELL AS PROVIDE CONNECTION TO COMMUNITY DESTINATIONS INCLUDING GROCERIES, SERVICES AND PARKS OUT IN THE AREA. IT BRIDGES THE GAP THAT WOULD BE ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL NETWORK. CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS IS PURSUING CROOKED, A CROOKED CREEK TRAIL INTO THE SOUTH SPALDING DRIVE, AND THE CITY OF ROSWELL HAS SHARED THEIR HAS A PLAN SHARED USE PATH ALONG HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD THAT WOULD AS WELL POTENTIALLY CONNECT INTO THIS IMPROVEMENT HERE. REBECCA, WE RECOMMEND THAT COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE PREPARATION OF AN APPLICATION FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. WITH A TOTAL COST OF $3.5 MILLION, 3,565,000 IS INDICATED HERE, BUT A FEDERAL SHARE REQUEST OF 282,852,000, IN A LOCAL MATCH REQUIRED OF 713,000. THAT LOCAL MATCH, IF YOU SAW THE DATE WHEN THE WE EXPECT THE GRANT TO BE ANNOUNCED, WOULD NOT BE UNTIL APRIL THAT THE GRANT WOULD BE ANNOUNCED. SO WE WOULD LOOK TO NEXT FISCAL YEAR'S BUDGET AS THE REQUIREMENT FOR THIS PARTICULAR LOCAL MATCH IF THAT GRANT WERE APPROVED. SO IN ADVANCE, THOUGH THE AGENCY SEEKING CITY ENDORSEMENT OF OR WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT A LOCAL GRANT OF LOCAL MATCH REQUIREMENT. WITH

[00:25:04]

I'M SUPPOSED TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE GRANT AWARD AGREEMENT AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. I DIDN'T FLIP THE PAGE QUICK ENOUGH. SO PLEASE ADD THAT TO MY MOTION.

ALL RIGHT. WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL AMEND YOUR MOTION TO THAT TO INCLUDE THAT. AND I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS, MARTY. TWO THINGS. ONE, THIS IS AN AREA THAT THERE IS NO ABILITY TO WALK OR RIDE ON ON OUR SIDE OF HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD. SO THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ABOUT THIS. DOES THIS INCLUDE CONSTRUCTION? YES, SIR. THIS IS PROJECT AND IT'S SOUP TO NUTS IN THIS CASE. AND IF YOU NOTICE TO THE NO WALK ABILITY ETC. YOU CAN SEE THE PEDESTRIAN DESIRE PATH THAT THE GRASS ON THAT ROAD SHOULDER. THERE IS EVIDENCE OF THAT. THE OTHER QUESTION IS THERE'S A BIG PROJECT GOING ON AT HOLCOMB BRIDGE AND SPAULDING WHERE THE DOT AND I GUESS GWINNETT COUNTY IS MANAGING THAT PROJECT. YES, SIR. THEY'RE REWORKING THAT PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY. DOES THAT DOES THIS PROJECT DOVETAIL IN WITH THAT AND HOW HOW WILL IT DOVETAIL IN THERE? IT THE THE PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES PROVIDED IN THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT ARE RELATIVELY MODEST. AS YOU ARE AWARE, EARLY ON IN TSPLOST, WE DID CONSTRUCT THE SIDE PATH ALREADY ON SPAULDING DOWN TO THAT INTERSECTION. SO JUST IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA, THERE'S A SIDE PATH THAT GOES EFFECTIVELY FROM OUR NEW PARK. ON SPAULDING DRIVE ALL THE WAY TO THIS INTERSECTION, HOLCOMB BRIDGE AND SPAULDING. THEN THERE'S A VERY SMALL SEGMENT OF SIDEWALK JUST AT THE GAS STATION AT THE CORNER, AND THEN NO DEVELOPMENT, AS YOU NOTE, FROM THERE, THERE, NOR FROM THERE ON HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD. THIS PROJECT WOULD EXTEND THAT SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT THAT THE CITY MADE A FEW YEARS AGO. IF YOU RECOLLECT, AT THE TIME WE PARTNERED WITH GWINNETT TO REPLACE THE BRIDGE AND BUILD THE SIDE PATH AS PART OF TSPLOST THEN. SO THAT'S THE PROJECT ENVISIONED, AND MORE SO IT GLUES INTO THAT EARLIER WORK WE LAID OUT WITH GWINNETT THEN, AS WELL AS IMPROVEMENTS WE'VE MADE IMMEDIATELY AT THE PARK FRONTAGE ON SPAULDING DRIVE AT RIVER EXCHANGE THERE. OKAY. WELL, I JUST DON'T WANT TO COMMIT TO SOMETHING. AND THEN THAT PROJECT CAUSED US TO TEAR IT UP. SO JUST COORDINATE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT STEPPING ON ANYBODY'S TOES. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION, DOCTOR KELLY? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS FOR YOU. I AM CURRENTLY SEARCHING THE TERM SAFETY ACTION PLAN IN OUR WEBSITE. HOW DOES IS IT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC? HOW DO YOU PULL IT UP? BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE ALL THOSE TIER ONES. I BELIEVE IT'S SAFE STREETS FOR ALL. SAFE STREETS FOR ALL. ALL RIGHT. WE MIGHT WANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THAT LANGUAGE.

THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS THIS PARTICULAR STRETCH. DOES IT IS IT INCLUDED IN OUR CAPITAL SIDEWALK PROGRAM? NO, MA'AM. IT'S NOT IT HAS NOT BEEN SCORED THERE. OH WHY NOT. IS THERE A PARTICULAR REASON? IN MOST CASES, ESPECIALLY ON OUR STATE ROUTES, ROSWELL ROAD BEING A CASE IN POINT, WE HAVEN'T SCORED AND SIDEWALK PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THE VERY LARGE CAPITAL SIZE OF THOSE PROJECTS. WE HAVEN'T SCORED THOSE SEGMENTS. SO NONE OF ROSWELL ROAD, FOR INSTANCE, WAS EVER SCORED IN THE CAPITAL SIDEWALK PROGRAM BECAUSE OF THE VERY NATURE OF THE LARGE CAPITAL INVESTMENT THERE WOULD MAKE THE PROJECTS TOO LARGE FOR CAPITAL SIDEWALKS. THAT'S BEEN A POLICY AND A PRACTICE SINCE WE INSTITUTED BEGAN THE SIDEWALK PROGRAM BACK IN 2008. THIS IS MUCH THE SAME HERE ON HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, I FOUND IT. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. AND AGAIN, THANK YOU. TIER ONE. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? MISS ROCHELLE, WHEN I WAS READING THIS, I WAS THINKING ABOUT ALL THE GRANTS THAT WE APPROVED. AND I WAS DO WE HAVE A LIST OF ONES THAT GET APPROVED OR. BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS CURIOUS, DID WE GET THIS ONE OR DID WE NOT? WE INCLUDE A PERIODIC UPDATE IN INSIDE SANDY SPRINGS WHEN WE HAVE A FEW TO ANNOUNCE, BUT THEY DO TAKE QUITE SOME TIME. AND WITH MANY OF THE RECENT CHANGES IN WASHINGTON, THERE HAVE BEEN DELAYS ON DECISIONS ABOUT GRANTS. THANKS, MR. MUELLER. SO ACTUALLY, I HAD ASKED FOR THAT. AND YOU DID PUT THAT TOGETHER.

THANK YOU. AND YOU DO SEND IT OUT AND IT'S PROBABLY TIME TO UPDATE THAT. ANY OTHER

[00:30:06]

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING APPLICATION AND PARTICIPATION IN THE GDOT TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVES AND CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY COMPETITIVE FUNDING PROGRAM.

ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION? SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED. THE CLERK WILL PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM. EXCUSE ME. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 2025 253. THIS IS CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GEORGIA POWER COMPANY AND THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED AT LAND LOT 84 OF THE 17TH DISTRICT, FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, AND BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AND OR DEPICTED IN THE ORIGINAL LEASE AND THE AMENDMENT, AND TO AUTHORIZE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE SAME PRESENTED BY THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND PARKS, BRANT WALKER. MR. WALKER, EVENING MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THE CITY AND GEORGIA POWER ENTERED INTO A LEASE AGREEMENT IN APRIL 2012 TO PROVIDE RIVER ACCESS AND A DOG PARK ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT MORGAN FALLS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CITY AND GEORGIA POWER ENTERED INTO THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THAT LEASE AGREEMENT AND MAY OF 2022 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SECTION TWO A OF THE SPRING WAY TRAIL. SINCE THAT TIME, CITY STAFF HAVE COMPLETED THE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS OF THE MORGAN FALLS DOG PARK AND SUBMITTED THAT FOR REVIEW TO GEORGIA POWER. AS PART OF THAT CORRESPONDENCE, GEORGIA POWER INFORMED THE CITY THAT A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE WOULD BE NECESSARY DUE TO CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS BEING USED IN THE IMPROVEMENTS. THE DOG PARK IMPROVEMENTS WILL INCLUDE NEW SHADE STRUCTURES, DOG AGILITY EQUIPMENT, A WASH STATION, AND IMPROVED GROUND COVER AND DRAINAGE. THEREFORE, STAFF RECOMMEND THAT THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL APPROVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH GEORGIA POWER FOR THE PROPERTY AT MORGAN FALLS, SO THAT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE DOG PARK CAN BE COMPLETED. YOU'VE HEARD THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF RECREATION AND PARKS. WHAT'S THE DESIRE OF COUNCIL MAYOR PAUL DOCTOR KELLY? I MOVE APPROVAL OF AGENDA ITEM 2025253. A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GEORGIA POWER COMPANY AND THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY LOCATED AT LAND LOT 84, 17TH DISTRICT, FULTON COUNTY, GEORGIA, AND BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AND DEPICTED IN THE ORIGINAL LEASE AND THE AMENDMENT, AND TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SAME MOTION BY DOCTOR KELLY. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL RIGHT. MOTION BY DOCTOR KELLY, SECONDED BY MISS MUELLER, THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 2025 253, AUTHORIZING A SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN GEORGIA POWER AND THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT LAND LOT 84, 17TH DISTRICT, AND BEING MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED AND OR DEPICTED IN THE ORIGINAL LEASE. ANY DISCUSSION, MISS MUELLER? NO, IT'S YOUR MOTION. I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WHAT WAS NEXT? ASSUMING THIS GETS APPROVED. SO ONCE THE LEASE IS APPROVED, THAT BASICALLY GIVES US THE ABILITY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. NOW THAT GEORGIA POWER HAS AGREED TO THE CONCEPT, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE HOLDUP, WAS GETTING THEM TO THIS POINT WHERE WE COULD GET THE OKAY TO CONSTRUCT WHAT WE WANTED TO ON THEIR PROPERTY. SO NEXT WOULD BE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND THEN OUT TO BID. ALL RIGHT. AND WE DON'T HAVE TO ENGAGE THEM OR WAIT ON THEM. NO, MA'AM. THIS THIS GIVES US THE AUTHORITY TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY TO DO THE CONSTRUCTION. THANK YOU, MISS MUELLER. SO, BRANT WILL THERE I KNOW THERE'S A WASH STATION. WILL THERE ALSO BE WATER AVAILABLE? BECAUSE THAT'S A BIG ISSUE TODAY? YES. WE'VE GOT THE WATER METER. SHOULD BE ANY TIME NOW TO BE INSTALLED. AND WE HAVE ONE MORE QUOTE LEFT TO GET THE WATER LINE RUN FROM THE INTERSECTION OF THE PARK. ALL RIGHT. SO WILL HAVE WATER.

AND THEN IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WERE SOME TREES. OR ARE WE GOING TO PLANT A GOOD NUMBER OF TREES OR HOW MANY TREES AND WHERE WILL THEY BE LOCATED. SO WE WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.

CERTAINLY UNDER THE OVERHEAD POWER LINES THAT ARE DOWN THERE, WE DID PLANT SEVERAL TREES ALONG THE NEW WHERE WE DID THE GRADING AND REDIRECTED THE CHANNEL THAT'S OUTSIDE OF THE DOG PARK. WE PLANTED THAT UP, AND THAT'S KIND OF THE ONLY AREA WE CAN PLANT IN. WE DO HAVE TO MAINTAIN AN AREA THROUGH THE DOG PARK THAT REMAINS OPEN, BECAUSE AT SOME POINT THEY MAY HAVE TO BRING IN LARGE EQUIPMENT TO ACCESS THE OVERHEAD LINES. SO WE DO HAVE TO HAVE CLEAR ZONES WITHIN THE PARK ITSELF TO SO MINIMAL PLANTING. THE SHADE STRUCTURES ARE REALLY GOING TO BE NEEDED BECAUSE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT GETS REALLY HOT THERE. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. MR. PAULSON THANK YOU MAYOR. SO GEORGIA POWER HAD TO REREVIEW THE DESIGN BECAUSE OF THESE CONDUCTIVE MATERIALS. DO WE HAVE TO DO ANYTHING TO THE DESIGN OR TO HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING? NO. IT BASICALLY JUST MAKES US RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL. THERE'S ALREADY CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL THERE. NOW YOU HAVE THE CHAIN LINK FENCE. WE HAVE A SHADE AWNING STRUCTURE THERE, THOSE METAL POLES. BUT THEY JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE WERE AWARE THAT WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT WE INSTALL ON THE PROPERTY.

FAIR ENOUGH. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING? NONE. WE'LL CALL THE QUESTION. THE

[00:35:01]

CAN YOU. IT WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT IT IN AN OPEN MEETING. YOU'RE RIGHT.

THANK YOU. THE MOTION BEFORE YOU IS TO DECLARE IT SURPLUS. I WOULD REMIND YOU THAT YOU'RE SITTING AS PROPERTY OWNERS AND YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND THE BEST PRICE. IF IN FACT, YOU DECLARE IT SURPLUS, THE BEST PRICE FOR THE THE PEOPLE OF SANDY SPRINGS. SO IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE TO TALK ABOUT IT. THIS WAS INITIATED BY AN ADJACENT PROPERTY OWNER WHO WANTS TO BUY IT. BUT BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS OF GEORGIA LAW THAT THE CITY CAN'T GO OUT AND JUST SELL PROPERTY, YOU HAVE TO DECLARE IT SURPLUS OR THE COUNCIL HAS TO VOTE DECLARED SURPLUS, AND THEN A BIDDING PROCESS HAS TO START BEFORE ANY NEGOTIATION COULD HAPPEN. IF IF IN FACT, A BID IS RECEIVED OR BIDS ARE RECEIVED AS THE DECIDER OF THE SALE OF PUBLIC PROPERTY, YOU WOULD HAVE TO THEN VOTE TO DECIDE IF YOU WANTED TO TAKE SOME OFFER THAT CAME FROM THAT SALE. MAYOR MISTER BOWMAN, THEN MISS ROCHELLE. SO I HAVE SOME CONCERN. I MEAN, THIS THIS IS THE PROPERTY THAT DOES ADJOIN LONG ISLAND DRIVE. IT DOES.

IT'S RIGHT IN THE CORNER. I MEAN, IT IS IT IS NOT A POCKET PARK, BUT IT IS SHADED GREEN SPACE THAT I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY OF WALKERS, IT'S JUST SHADED SPACE. I THINK THIS IS PREMATURE. THERE HASN'T BEEN REALLY ANY PUBLIC HEARING OR PUBLIC VETTING OF THIS THAT I'M AWARE OF UP TO NOW. AND I'D LIKE TO SEE ABOUT TABLING THIS WITH PENDING FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH AREA STAKEHOLDERS, PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT COMMUNITY, BOTH IN THE CHEROKEE PARK AREA AND AND SURROUNDING AREAS. WE WE HAVE VERY LITTLE EXCESS SPACE. I DON'T I DON'T REALLY HAVE ENOUGH DETAIL ON THIS AT THIS POINT. SO I'D LIKE TO OFFER AN AMENDMENT TO OR I'D LIKE TO SEE IF I CAN MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE. A MOTION TO TABLE IS ALWAYS AN ORDER. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO TABLE THIS JUST LIKE TABLE A SECOND. I'LL SECOND. MOTION BY. BY MR. BAUMAN, SECONDED BY DOCTOR KELLEY THAT WE TABLE AGENDA ITEM 2025 254. ANY DISCUSSION MAYOR PAUL? YES. JUST AGAIN TO TABLE THIS WE ARE REACHING ALSO THE END OF A A COUNCIL AND MAYOR TERM. THIS IS A NON-URGENT MATTER. I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS PUSHED OFF AT LEAST FOR, YOU KNOW, A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHILE THE COMMUNITY GETS TO WEIGH IN ON THIS TO REALLY THINK THROUGH. ALSO OUR POLICY OF DEALING WITH SURPLUS PROPERTY. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE THIS IS RELEVANT AROUND THE CITY. WE'RE SETTING A PRECEDENT. SO I THINK THIS THIS JUST SHOULD BE TABLED FOR FURTHER DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION, BOTH IN THE SPECIFIC INSTANCE AND ALSO FOR THE CITYWIDE RAMIFICATIONS. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION TO TABLE. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE ITEM THE ITEM IS TABLED.

[00:40:08]

THAT'S TAX PARCEL NUMBER 17 00890110476. AND TAX PARCEL ID 1708 90110484 TO THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY. THIS IS PRESENTED BY DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CHRIS BURNETT. MR. BURNETT MAYOR AND COUNCIL. THIS IS A PRELIMINARY ITEM TO WHAT YOU ALL WILL HEAR SHORTLY IN THE UPCOMING PFA. IT RELATES TO THE WILLIAMS PAYNE PROPERTY AND THE ADJACENT PROPERTY TO THAT THAT WAS ACQUIRED BY THE CITY FROM THE COUNTY IN 2006. AND WE AT THE TIME IT WAS ACQUIRED IN THE CITY'S NAME. AND THE REASON THAT WE'RE ASKING YOU TO APPROVE THIS CONVEYANCE TONIGHT TO THE PFA IS BECAUSE UNDER STATE CODE, I BELIEVE IT'S 36, 60, 13 STATES CAN ENTER INTO LONG TERM LEASE AGREEMENTS, BUT ONLY SO LONG AS THEY HAVE AN ANNUAL MATURITY OR ANNUAL EXPIRATION DATE WITHIN THEIR LEASES. AND GIVEN WHAT YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT IN THE PFA MEETING RELATING TO THE CITY'S GOALS OF LEASING THE WILLIAMS PAYNE HOUSE, AN ANNUAL LEASE MATURITY WOULD NOT WORK IN THAT CASE. SO WE ARE PROPOSING TO APPROVE THE CONVEYANCE VIA QUITCLAIM OF THE WILLIAMS PAYNE PROPERTY TO THE PFA, SO THEN THE PFA CAN ENTER INTO LEASE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE POTENTIAL TENANT. YOU'VE HEARD THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WHAT'S THE DESIRE OF COUNCIL MAYOR PAUL? MISS MUELLER, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 2025 255 A RESOLUTION TO QUITCLAIM DEED PROPERTY KNOWN AS SANDY SPRINGS HISTORIC SITE AND PARK TAX PARCEL NUMBER 17 089, DOUBLE ZERO 11 0476 AND TAX TAX PARCEL NUMBER 17 089011084842. THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS PUBLIC FACILITY AUTHORITY HAVE A MOTION BY MISS MUELLER. IS THERE A SECOND SECOND MOTION BY MISS MUELLER, SECONDED BY MISS ROCHELLE. EXCUSE ME THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM 2025 255 A RESOLUTION TO QUITCLAIM DEED PROPERTY KNOWN AS SANDY SPRINGS HISTORIC SITE PARCEL LISTED IN THE THE THE AGENDA. ANY DISCUSSION, MR. DEGIULIO? DOES THIS INCLUDE THE ENTIRE THE ENTIRETY OF THE HISTORIC SITE, THE HOUSE, THE BAND SHELTER, THE THE OLD HERITAGE BUILDING, THAT WHOLE BLOCK? OR IS THIS JUST JUST WHERE THE WILLIAM PAYNE HOUSE IS? SO THERE ARE TWO PARCELS. ONE IS THE WHERE THE WILLIAMS PAYNE HOUSE IS LOCATED AND THE OTHER IS THE SMALL ADJACENT PARK WHERE THE GAZEBO. THERE'S A FIRE PIT THERE AS WELL, WALKING TRAILS THAT. BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE HERITAGE GREEN NOR THE HERITAGE BUILDING OR ANY OTHER SITES. THERE WERE SIX PARCELS IN TOTAL AT ONE TIME. THESE ARE ONLY TWO OF THOSE SIX PARCELS.

I BELIEVE IT'S CORRECT. THE OTHERS WILL REMAIN IN THE CITY'S NAME. ACTUALLY NOT TO CORRECT YOU, CHRIS, BUT IT DOES INCLUDE HERITAGE GREEN. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE HERITAGE AMPHITHEATER. NOW, WHAT YOU'RE BEING ASKED IN THIS DECISION IS TO IS TO QUIT. CLAIM THE TWO PARCELS OUTLINED IN BLUE ON THE SCREEN IN FRONT OF YOU TO THE PFA. WE ARE NOT CONTEMPLATING THAT THE TENANT WILL HAVE A LEASE TO THE LARGER PARCEL THAT SAYS 109 HILDEBRAND, WHICH IS THE HERITAGE GREEN. THEY'LL ONLY HAVE A LEASE TO 6075 SANDY SPRINGS CIRCLE. BUT YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO CONVEY BOTH OF THESE TO THE PFA AT THIS TIME. YEAH. YOU GOT THE FLOOR. THE FLOOR. SINCE SINCE THIS AREA IS PART OF WHAT WE'VE CONSIDERED FOR CITY SPRINGS TWO. AND SINCE WE'RE DOING IT ANYWAY, AND SINCE IT ALL BELONGS TO THE CITY, EVEN THE ACTUAL SPRING, AS IS PARCEL, IS LOCATED ON THIS PROPERTY, THE ACTUAL SANDY SPRINGS. WHY AREN'T WE JUST DOING THE WHOLE THING? WE CAN, IF YOU WANT TO THE THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT WE HAD AS STAFF, BECAUSE COUNCIL HAD BEEN INSISTENT THAT WE WOULD NOT BE DOING ANYTHING TO TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT THE SPRING WOULD BE. IT WOULD NOT BE REDEVELOPED, SO TO SPEAK, AND NEITHER WOULD THE GREEN WHERE THE AMPHITHEATER IS. BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO ADD THE AMPHITHEATER AND HERITAGE BUILDING TO IT, WE CAN CERTAINLY CHANGE THAT. I JUST DON'T SEE WHY IT WOULD NOT INCLUDE THAT, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. SHOULD I MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE THE MAYOR? IF I

[00:45:01]

ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION? SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED. MOVING TO REPORTS,

[X. Reports]

IT'S GOING TO BE AN EXCITING TIME FOR THE METRO ATLANTA AREA. THEY MADE VERY CLEAR THAT THEY DIDN'T WANT EVERYBODY IN DOWNTOWN ATLANTA. THEY WANT TO SPREAD THEM OUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE REGION. SO OUR VISIT, SANDY SPRINGS AND THE PERFORMING ARTS TEAM ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH SOME IDEAS HOW WE CAN HOST SOME SOME EVENTS OUT HERE ON THE GREEN AND MAYBE IN USE SOME CORPORATE ACTIVITY IN IN THE CONFERENCE CENTER. AND THEN THE LAST THING WAS TODAY, I WAS ABLE I WAS HONORED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ATLANTA JEWISH ACADEMY'S COMMEMORATION OF THE OCTOBER 7TH EVENT OR TRAGEDY. AND SO VERY THE KIDS PUT ON A VERY, VERY, VERY MOVING PERFORMANCE TODAY, RECOUNTING ALL THE EVENTS AROUND OCTOBER 7TH. THAT'S IT FOR ME. ANYBODY ELSE, MR. BAUMANN? SO, MAYOR PAUL, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE. WE HAVE A LOT PLANNED FOR CITY GREEN AND OUR CITY CENTER AREA DUE TO SORT OF THE TIMES THAT WE'RE IN. I JUST WANT TO LEAVE THIS AND THROW THIS OUT THERE FOR THE PLANNING. THIS MAY BE REALLY THE LAST TIME OR NOT, THAT I HAVE A CHANCE TO SAY THIS PUBLICLY, BUT WE NEED TO SEE MORE PROGRAMING AROUND THE CITY AND THE IDEA OF MORE EVENTS ON OUR CITY. GREEN, WHILE MAYBE APPEALING, IS NOT, IN MY VIEW, IN THE BEST INTEREST NECESSARILY, OF THE CITY THAT I HAVE HEARD FROM FOLKS. IN FACT, I'VE HAD THIS VERY CONVERSATION WITH OWNERS OF PROPERTY ON THE NORTH OF ABERNATHY, NORTH OF DALRYMPLE. IN FACT, IN REGARDS TO THE WORLD CUP. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT THE CITY NOW AND AND IN ITS PLANNING, KEEP AN OPEN MIND TO LOCATIONS THAT ARE NOT JUST IN OUR CITY GREEN, BUT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE CITY WHERE FOLKS WANT TO FEEL INCLUDED IN OUR EVENTS. THAT COULD INCLUDE MAYBE SOME OF THE UNDERUTILIZED SHOPPING CENTERS NORTH OF OF DALRYMPLE WHERE WE COULD DO TENTED EVENTS. BUT I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THE CITY STAFF, EDEN AND THIS COUNCIL, FUTURE COUNCILS, CONSIDER WHETHER THERE ARE OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF THE CITY GREEN FOR THE PROGRAMING THAT WE DO AS A COMMUNITY AND SPEND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON SOME OF THAT NEEDS TO BE SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS.

THANK YOU, MR. PAULSON. THANK YOU. MAYOR. MAYOR, YOU MENTIONED THE CELEBRATION OF TWO WEEKS, TWO WEEKS AGO, A WEEK AND A HALF AGO, AND WE HAD THE BIG TENT OUT ON THE LAWN

SO WE'RE ASKING YOU, WE'RE ASKING YOU AS PFA MEMBERS TO ACCEPT THAT PROPERTY AS OWNERSHIP BY THE PFA FROM THE CITY. I'VE HEARD THE REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. WHAT'S THE DESIRE OF COUNCIL, MISS MUELLER? I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE. AGENDA ITEM PFA 2025 DASH 21 A RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT A QUITCLAIM DEED FROM THE CITY OF SANDY SPRINGS FOR PROPERTY KNOWN AS THE SANDY SPRINGS HISTORIC SITE AND PARK TAX PARCEL NUMBER 17 0890 11 0476 AND TAX PARCEL NUMBER 17 DASH 009, DOUBLE ZERO 11 048-4 HAVE A MOTION BY MISS MUELLER.

WERE THERE ANY COVENANTS IN THOSE AGREEMENTS THAT. ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP AGAIN? AND IF SO, WOULD TRANSFERRING IT FROM THE CITY TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY KICK ANY OF THAT STUFF OFF?

THE ITEM IS APPROVED. CLARK, THE SECRETARY. PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM. AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOR 20 2522. CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SUMMIT SANDY SPRINGS, LLC, AND TO AUTHORIZE THE AUTHORITY'S GENERAL MANAGER, THE AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER, TO EXECUTE THE LEASE AGREEMENT PRESENTED BY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR CHRIS BURNETT. MR. BURNETT, THANK YOU. SO NOW THAT THE CITY HAS VOTED TO CONVEY THE PROPERTY TO THE PFA AND THE PFA HAS VOTED TO ACCEPT IT, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE REASONS FOR THIS TRANSACTION, WHICH IS A COMMERCIAL LEASE AGREEMENT FOR THE WILLIAMS PAYNE PROPERTY. GIVE YOU A LITTLE REFRESHER COURSE AND WE'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF, BUT OUR LISTING AND SELECTION PROCESS, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS FOR A WHILE NOW. WE CONDUCTED A RFP

[01:05:07]

THERE WERE OVER 50 INQUIRIES ABOUT THIS PROPERTY. YOU SHOWED IT TO OVER 30 PROSPECTS, AND FROM THAT NARROWED THE LIST DOWN INITIALLY TO SEVEN. SEVEN LETTERS OF INTENT WERE DISTRIBUTED, OF WHICH THAT WAS THREE RESPONSES WERE DISCUSSED AND REVIEWED. AND ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES HAS BEEN THE CITY'S OR IN THIS CASE, THE FDA'S RELUCTANCE TO PROVIDE TENANT FINISH DOLLARS, WHAT'S CALLED A TNI ALLOWANCE FROM THE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE WORLD, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE CITY INVESTING MONEY INTO A BUSINESS COULD REPRESENT RISK TO OUR TAXPAYERS. SO IN OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH INTERESTED PARTIES, WE WOULD LET THEM KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT THE DESIRE OF OF OUR COMMUNITY TO INVEST DOLLARS INTO THE T, WHICH WHITTLE THAT DOWN TO THREE. AND FROM THOSE, ALAN AND YOUR STAFF, YOUR TEAM HERE HAVE RECOMMENDED THAT THAT THAT THAT LEASE AGREEMENT BE AWARDED TO SUMMIT SANDY SPRINGS LLC, DOING BUSINESS AS SUMMIT COFFEE. SO WHO IS SUMMIT COFFEE? OPENED ORIGINALLY IN 1998, A GROUP OF YOUNG GENTLEMEN THAT WENT TO DAVIDSON UNIVERSITY. TOGETHER. THEY HAVE GROWN OVER THE YEARS TO 20 LOCATIONS. CURRENTLY THEY ARE IN, I BELIEVE, GOING INTO JOHNS CREEK IN THE MEDLEY DEVELOPMENT WHEN THAT IS COMPLETED. SO THAT WOULD BE NUMBER 21 IN THIS LOCATION. IF YOU ALL ACCEPT, IT WOULD BE LOCATION NUMBER 22. ADAM COOK AND TEAM SUMMIT. IN FACT, ADAM IS WITH US TONIGHT ALONG WITH HIS PARTNER MIKE ANNA BACK HERE. AND YOU GUYS ARE, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK WITH THEM. THEY ARE. BOTH INVOLVED VERY MUCH IN THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. IN FACT, ADAM IS THE GENERAL PARTNER, GENERAL MANAGING PARTNER OF THIS VENTURE, AND THEY BOTH LIVE HERE IN SANDY SPRINGS. SO THEY HAVE VERY, VERY CLOSE ROOTS TO OUR COMMUNITY. AND YOU'LL SEE ADAM'S QUOTE ABOUT NOT JUST THE IMPORTANCE OF SELLING FOOD AND COFFEE AND BEVERAGES, BUT ALSO OF CREATING A SPECIAL PLACE, A DESTINATION FOR OUR COMMUNITY, WHICH WE'VE ALL TALKED ABOUT IS A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS SELECTION PROCESS. THIS IS A QUICK MAP OF SOME OF ITS CURRENT LOCATIONS. BECAUSE THEY WERE BORN OUT OF DAVIDSON UNIVERSITY, THEY BEGAN IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ARE ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA CORRIDOR, WHICH IS WHERE THE MAJORITY OF THEIR STORES WOULD BE. NATURALLY, THEY HAVE ALSO MOVED INTO SOUTH CAROLINA, INTO THE CHARLESTON MARKET, AND THEN MOVED INTO THE ATLANTA MARKET IN RECENT YEARS, WITH FOUR LOCATIONS IN ATLANTA CURRENTLY OPEN ROSWELL, CITY OF ROSWELL, BROOKHAVEN, DUNWOODY, AND EMORY VILLAGE. SANDY SPRINGS WOULD BE NUMBER FIVE AND JOHNS CREEK WOULD BE NUMBER SIX. AND SO THEY'VE GOT GOOD OPERATING HISTORY SPANNING ALMOST 27 YEARS AT THIS POINT, FROM THE ORIGINAL STARTUP OF THE ORGANIZATION. SO SUMMIT COFFEE IS A RESTAURANT, INDOOR OUTDOOR SEATING. THERE WOULD BE BOOKABLE SPACE FOR EVENTS IN THE WILLIAMS PAYNE HOUSE, AND ALSO IN SOME OF THE EXTERIOR SPACES ON THE PATIO BEHIND THE BUILDING. STANDARD AND SEASONAL MENUS, I BELIEVE. I THINK YOU SAID ADAM. 7 P.M. 7 A.M. TO 9 P.M. SO IT'LL BE A LONG DAY FOR THEM, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. THEY'LL PROVIDE BAKING OPERATIONS. THEY'LL ALSO HAVE AN OUTDOOR ALCOHOL BAR. AND THIS IS UNIQUE. THEY HAVE THIS IN ONLY ONE OF THEIR OTHER LOCATIONS. AND THAT'S IN WHAT THEY CALL BASE CAMP, WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL DAVIDSON LOCATION.

AND IT'S THEIR OWN ICE CREAM. IT'S CALLED SUMMIT CREAMERY, AND THEY'LL BE OPERATING OUT OF THE WILLIAMS PAYNE HOUSE AS WELL. AND ONE OF THE THINGS WE'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WITH ADAM IS THE ACTIVATION OF THIS FACILITY FOR OUR GARDEN CLUBS AND THE OLD HERITAGE SANDY SPRINGS AND THE THE SANDY SPRINGS SOCIETY. AND AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE ARE A PLETHORA OF NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND CITIZENS WHO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY, AND THEY UNDERSTAND THAT SENSE OF PRIDE AND ENGAGEMENT HERE AND ARE VERY MUCH INTO CREATING THAT SENSE OF PLACE AND WORKING WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE WILLIAMS PAYNE, TO ASSURE THAT IT CONTINUES TO BE A VERY VIBRANT AND SPECIAL PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. YOU'LL SEE UP THERE OUR LEASE AGREEMENT. WE'LL WE'LL REVIEW THAT IN A LITTLE MORE DETAIL IN JUST A MOMENT.

I'M GOING TO GO QUICKLY THROUGH THIS. THESE ARE SOME INTERIOR SHOTS OF SOME OF THEIR CURRENT LOCATIONS, PLUS SOME OF THE COLOR PATTERNS AND SEATING THAT THEY WILL USE. THEY'VE ALREADY

[01:10:04]

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST TEN YEARS, IT WOULD BE TOTAL RENTAL COLLECTIONS TO THE CITY OF 528,000. FOR THE MOST PART, THIS IS NOT A WHAT'S CALLED A TRIPLE NET LEASE. THEY WILL BE NOT TAKING ALL OF THE BUILDING AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE, BUT FOR THE MAJORITY. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE AREN'T PROPERTY TAXES ON THAT PROPERTY, SO THEY WILL NOT THEY WILL NOT BE A NEED FOR THEM TO PAY PROPERTY TAXES, BUT THEY WILL BE COVERING THEIR INSURANCE COSTS. THEY'LL BE COVERING THE CITY WILL PROVIDE BASIC LANDSCAPE SERVICES, BUT ANYTHING LIKE HEAVY PLANTINGS, THEY'LL EITHER BE DOING IT THEMSELVES OR THEY'LL BE WORKING WITH THE NORTH FULTON GARDEN CLUB, WHICH CURRENTLY DOES PLANTINGS THERE AT THE WILLIAM PAYNE HOUSE NOW. AND OF COURSE, THEY'LL COVER ALL OF THEIR UTILITIES COSTS, SECURITY AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, THE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR THEM TO RUN THEIR BUSINESS. WE'RE GOING TO TURN THE THE BUILDING OVER TO THEM IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE HVAC AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS ARE RELATIVELY NEW. DAVE TELLS ME HE THINKS WE REPLACED THESE IN THE LAST 3 OR 4 YEARS. DAVE, IS THAT CORRECT? AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER AND ELECTRICAL PANELS AND EVERYTHING SHOULD BE PRETTY MUCH READY FOR THEM TO TAKE POSSESSION OF. SO ECONOMICALLY, IN ADDITION TO THE 528,000 IN RENT PAYMENTS IN THE FIRST DECADE, IF YOU CONSIDER THE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT THEY'LL MAKE IN FURNITURE, FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT AND HARD COST, THEY'LL PUT ANOTHER APPROXIMATELY 281,000 OF THEIR DOLLARS INTO THIS PROJECT, MINUS THE COMMISSION TO THE SHOPPING CENTER GROUP, WOULD BE AN ECONOMIC IMPACT, IN ESSENCE, TO THE CITY. OVER A DECADE OF $788,000. SO ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE? ALL RIGHT. HOW DOES THIS LEASE WITH SUMMIT AND THEIR ENGAGEMENT IN THIS PROPERTY MEET THE GOALS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED FOR WILLIAMS? PAYNE, FIRST OF ALL, I THINK IT'S BEEN IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO SELECT A USER THAT REALLY PRESERVES THE BEAUTY AND THE HISTORY OF THE WILLIAMS, PAYNE HOUSE AND THE SURROUNDING GROUNDS, AND TO PROVIDE A HIGHLY DESIRABLE PATRON EXPERIENCE ACROSS A BROAD DEMOGRAPHICS OF COMMUNITY.

GIVEN THAT THE COMPANY HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS SINCE 1998. AGAIN, THIS WILL BE THEIR 21ST OR 22ND LOCATION. THEY'RE IN OTHER MARKETS LIKE SANDY SPRINGS, LIKE DOWNTOWN ROSWELL OR DUNWOODY OR BROOKHAVEN, WHERE THEY'RE VERY ACCUSTOMED TO SERVING RESIDENTS SO SIMILAR TO OURS AND ACTIVATING WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES IN THOSE MARKETS. WE THINK THEY'RE AN EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT SELECTION TO ALSO ACTIVATE THE WILLIAMS PAYNE HOUSE FOR THE CITY, SELECT A USER WITH STRONG OPERATING HISTORY. FINANCIAL SECURITY IS IMPORTANT TO US. THE LAST THING I THINK THE PFA WANTS TO BE DOING IS, IS HAVING TO FORCE A BUSINESS OUT OF THE BUILDING FOR NON RENT PAYMENT, SO IT WAS IMPORTANT TO US TO LOOK AT A COMPANY THAT HAD BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, LIKE THEY HAVE, AND WHO'S MAKING A SUBSTANTIAL INVESTMENT OF ALMOST $300,000 OF THEIR OWN MONEY INTO THE PROPERTY. AND PRINCIPLES FROM THEIRS, FROM

[01:15:02]

AGENDA ITEM PFA 2025 DASH 22 A RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SUMMIT SANDY SPRINGS LLC AND AUTHORIZE THE AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE LEASE AGREEMENT. WE HAVE A MOTION BY MISS MUELLER. IS THERE A SECOND MOTION BY MISS MUELLER, SECONDED BY MISS ROCHELLE, THAT WE APPROVE PFA 20 2522 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER AND THE CITY ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE AGREEMENT WITH SUMMIT SANDY SPRINGS LLC AND AUTHORIZING THE GENERAL MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE LEASE. ANY DISCUSSION, MISS MUELLER? SO I THINK THIS IS FANTASTIC NEWS. I WAS REALLY EXCITED, AND I EVEN GOT MORE EXCITED WHEN I LEARNED THAT WE HAVE OWNERSHIP OWNERS FROM SANDY SPRINGS. I MEAN, WOW, THAT'S A GREAT BONUS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE MY FIRST CUP OF COFFEE, SOME BEVERAGE, MAYBE SOME MUSIC. AND I THINK IT'S GOOD NEWS THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALSO WORK WITH. I KNOW THE NORTH FULTON MASTER GARDENERS HAD AN INTEREST BACK IN SEPTEMBER ABOUT COMING IN AND WORKING ON SOME OF THE GARDENS AROUND THE MILL HOUSE SO THEY CAN DO BEAUTIFUL WORK, AND I HOPE WE STILL WORK WITH THEM. THEY'VE ACTUALLY ALREADY REACHED OUT AND THEY'VE WASN'T YOU THAT TALKED WITH THEM OR SOMEBODY. CITY TALKED TO THE NORTH FULTON MASTER GARDENERS, AND WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION WITH ADAM AND HIS TEAM AND GET THAT RELATIONSHIP BUILDING. YEAH. THANK YOU, CHRIS AND TEAM FOR YOUR WORK. THANK YOU, MR. PAULSON. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN. THANKS, CHRIS. POINT OF CLARIFICATION. WE JUST QUIT CLAIM DEED TWO PARCELS TO THE PFA. THIS LEASE PERTAINS TO THE JUST THE WILLIAM PAYNE HOUSE. THAT PARCEL OR IS IT STRICTLY THE BUILDING AND HOW DOES THAT AFFECT THEIR ABILITY TO USE THE OTHER LAWN AREA.

THAT'S ON THE SECOND PART. HOW DOES ALL THAT WORK? SO JOHN, TO TO DAN'S POINT EARLIER, WE WILL BE DOING A SURVEY OF THE PROPERTY AND WE'LL CREATE DELINEATING LINES THAT WILL BECOME AN AMENDMENT OR AN ADDENDUM TO THE LEASE THAT WILL REFLECT WHAT SUMMIT COFFEE WILL BE LEASING. IT IS THE WILLIAM PAYNE HOUSE AND THE LAND IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING IT.

THERE ARE SOME PATHWAYS THERE. THERE'S A PATHWAY THAT COMES IN FROM SANDY SPRINGS CIRCLE INTO THE TOP FLOOR OF THE HOUSE. THERE ARE TWO PATHWAYS THAT COME IN ON THE SIDE, ONE ON THE SOUTH SIDE FROM SANDY SPRINGS CIRCLE, ONE ON THE NORTH SIDE FROM HILDEBRAND. SO THEIR PROPERTY WILL ENCOMPASS THOSE PATHWAYS AS WELL, AND IT WILL GO TO THE STAIRWELLS THAT GO DOWN INTO THE GREEN SPACE, BUT WILL NOT INCLUDE ANY OF THAT GREEN SPACE. WHAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT WITH THEM IS IF THERE ARE EVENTS THAT THE CITY IS DOING AND AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD GROUPS SECURE THAT PROPERTY FOR THE DAY, THEN THEY WOULD OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF THAT AND NOT HAVE EVENTS THERE. BUT IF THE PARK IS NOT BEING USED, THEY COULD COME TO THE CITY LIKE ANY GROUP WOULD AND REQUEST TO, YOU KNOW, HAVE US ISSUE A USE PERMIT FOR THEM TO USE THAT. AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR, FOR EXAMPLE, HAVING A GUITAR PLAYER ON THE GAZEBO AND HAVE CHAIRS SET UP THERE IN THE GREEN SPACE, AND THEY WOULD MANAGE THAT PROCESS. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THEM. THERE'S A FIRE PIT AREA. THEY'RE TALKED ABOUT THEM GETTING THAT CLEANED UP AND SORT OF SHAPED UP SO WE COULD START DOING A S'MORES PARTY ON FRIDAY NIGHTS OR IDEAS LIKE THAT. SO IT WOULD BE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE UNFETTERED USE OF THAT, BUT WE WOULD CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THEY WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT GREEN SPACE ALMOST AS AN ADDITIONAL WAY OF ACTIVATING WITH OUR TEAM HERE AT THE CITY, USING THAT SPACE FOR EVENTS THAT REALLY SERVE THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. THERE WOULD NOT BE A PROHIBITION. THE PUBLIC COULD COME AT ANY TIME.

THE PUBLIC WILL STILL HAVE USES OF THE PATHWAYS, THE STAIRWELLS, THE GREEN SPACE. SO THERE'LL BE NO PROHIBITION AT ALL OF THE PUBLIC HAVING ACCESS TO TO THE FACILITY. AND OBVIOUSLY FOR THEM, THEY WANT THEIR PATRONS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE ON, ON THEIR PATIO AND THEN WALK RIGHT DOWN THE STEPS WITH THEIR DOG AND TAKE A WALK THROUGH THE PARK. SO IT'S I

[01:20:04]

WE'VE ALREADY INTRODUCED ADAM TO AMY HARRIS, WHO WORKS IN BILL HACKETT'S GROUP FOR THE THEATER GROUP, TALKED TO ANNA NICHOLAS, WHO DOES ALSO DOES PROGRAMING FOR THE CITY. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS. AND SO WHEN ADAM AND HIS TEAM HAVE AN EVENT THAT THEY WANT TO TALK TO THE CITY ABOUT, THEY'LL THEY'LL REACH OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE. AND AGAIN, IF THE SPACE IS AVAILABLE, THE GREEN SPACE DOWN BELOW IS AVAILABLE. AND IT'S AN EVENT THAT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD FIT FOR THE COMMUNITY. THEN THEY'LL WORK WITH OUR TEAM HERE AT THE CITY TO EXECUTE THAT. BUT WE WILL DO THE PHYSICAL MAINTENANCE OF THE GROUNDS THAT IT'S GOING TO BE UTILIZED AGAIN. YES, SIR. THAT HASN'T BEEN UTILIZED IN YEARS NOW. YES, SIR.

YOU'RE CORRECT. YEAH. MISS ROCHELLE, WELL, I WANT TO WELCOME YOU TO SANDY SPRINGS.

WE'RE VERY EXCITED. YOU HAVE A GREAT HOUSE. I'M JUST CURIOUS. I'M FROM GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA, AND THERE WAS AN AVENUE CALLED SUMMIT AVENUE, AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IF THAT IF YOU GOT THE NAME FROM THAT OR WHERE THE NAME CAME FROM. NO. OKAY. I WAS HOPING YOU WERE FROM GREENSBORO. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? WELCOME. MR. BAUMANN, I WANT TO ADD MY THANKS. AND, YES, IT'S A BIG BONUS THAT YOU ALL ARE FROM HERE. I'VE HEARD, TALK ABOUT COFFEE AND OTHER THINGS. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO ICE CREAM. I'M AN ICE CREAM GUY, NOT A BIG COFFEE GUY. BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVING YOU. CHRIS.

THERE WAS SOME HISTORY BEFORE THIS. WE WENT THROUGH A PROCESS OF BEFORE THE SHOPPING CENTER GROUP, AND I'M GLAD THAT THEY CAME IN BECAUSE WHEN WE DROVE THE PROCESS, WE DID. WE HAD SOME PROSPECTS AS WELL. RIGHT BEFORE THIS. SO YOU ALL WILL PROBABLY RECALL THIS WENT THROUGH TWO TWO RFP PROCESSES. THE RFP PROCESS IN 2024 DID NOT GARNER ANY PROPOSALS AT THAT TIME. THE RFP PROCESS, WE OFFICIALLY RECEIVED TWO PROPOSALS. SOME IT HAD ACTUALLY WE HAD HAD GOTTEN KIND OF LATE INTO THE PROCESS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO GET A PROPOSAL IN IN TIME TO MEET THE RFP PROCESS. BUT WHAT WE WITH THE RFP PROCESS, WHAT WE KEPT EXPERIENCING WAS THE FACT THAT WE WERE NOT GETTING THE PROPERTY OUT INTO THE HANDS OF THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROPERTY WAS AVAILABLE. AND HONESTLY, THAT'S WHAT FOLKS LIKE ALAN AND HIS FIRM DO, AND OTHER GREAT REAL ESTATE FIRMS THAT ARE HERE IN SANDY SPRINGS. THEY GOT EXPOSURE FOR US, GOT THE PROPERTY INTO THE LISTING SERVICES. THEY HAVE CONTACTS WITHIN THE RETAIL COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY THE RESTAURANT SECTOR. COINCIDENTALLY, IT WAS SUMMIT THAT ENDED UP COMING BACK AND BEING THE WINNING BIDDER, AND THAT WAS FOR A LOT OF REASONS WE TALKED ABOUT. BUT WE DID GET A LOT OF EXPOSURE.

WE HAD SOME OTHER VERY INTERESTING USES, BUT WE FELT LIKE GIVEN WHAT OUR GOALS WERE FOR THE PROPERTY, BOTH FROM AN ACTIVATION STANDPOINT, FROM A LEASE RISK MITIGATION STANDPOINT, MEANING AN INVESTMENT FROM THEM, WHICH THEY'RE MAKING A HEALTHY INVESTMENT IN THE PROJECT AND FROM THE AND FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE OVER NOW ALMOST 30 YEARS AND ACTIVATING FACILITIES LIKE THIS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST. IT JUST IT JUST INTUITIVELY FEELS LIKE I THINK IT'S A GREAT CHOICE. AND I THINK I'M REALLY GLAD THAT MOST OF US HELD OUT. THERE WAS TALK OF A CBD TYPE USER. IT WASN'T JUST CBD, BUT THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE CBD BUSINESS THAT MIGHT HAVE HAD SOME BAKERY AS WELL. I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DETAILS, BUT I'M VERY HAPPY THAT I PUSHED BACK, THAT SOME OF US PUSHED BACK ON THAT AND THAT WE HELD OUT AND WE'RE GETTING THE RIGHT USE FOR THE CITY. OKAY. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE. WE'LL CALL THE QUESTION. THE QUESTION IS ON AGENDA ITEM FOR 20 2522 RESOLUTION RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING CITY PUBLIC FACILITIES AUTHORITY GENERAL MANAGER AND CITY ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE A LEASE WITH SUMMIT SANDY SPRINGS, LLC. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. THE ITEM IS APPROVED. THE CLERK WILL PLEASE. OUR SECRETARY WILL PLEASE READ THE NEXT ITEM. THIS IS AGENDA ITEM NUMBER FOR 20 2523.
