MOTION CARRIES. NEXT ITEM IS SPECIAL BUSINESS. SO AT THIS TIME I'LL TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNTY MANAGER. THANK YOU. CHAIRMAN. COMMISSIONERS. FIRST ITEM AGENDA IS CONSIDERATION THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TRANSIT VAN. GLENN CAME THIS MORNING TO REQUEST THAT TRANSIT VAN. THE AMOUNT OF $72,025, THE 2024 TRANSIT 14 PASSENGER VAN. THERE. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS? GLENN, WHAT PHONE DID YOU SAY? THIS IS COMING DOWN. IT COMES OUT OF TRANSIT RESERVE ACCOUNT. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A NEW TRANSIT VAN. NOW, HAVE A SECOND. SECOND. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALRIGHT. MOTION.MOTION. ALL RIGHT. MOTION IS CARRIED. ALL RIGHT, NEXT UP IS A AN ITEM WE ADDED THIS AFTERNOON. CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF PURSUIT VEHICLES FOR THE TROUP COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR TRAFFIC DIVISION. I'M GOING TO LET GLENN HANDLE IT. GLENN WAS THE ONE WHO GOT OUT THERE AND FOUND THESE VEHICLES FOR US. OKAY, SO AGAIN, WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR APPROVAL TO PURCHASE TWO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT VEHICLES.
IT'S FOR THE TRAFFIC UNIT. ONE VEHICLE WILL REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT WE LOST ON NINE EIGHT OF 2025. AND THE SECOND WILL BE FOR A NEW POSITION EFFECTIVE SOMEWHERE FIRST OF THE YEAR. WE HAVE FOUND TWO 2025 FORD POLICE EXPLORERS OR INTERCEPTORS. STATE CONTRACT PRICING VENDOR WOULD BE WEIGHED FORWARD. AND I THINK SMYRNA PRICING IS 49 NINE EACH. THEN WE'LL HAVE ADDED THE AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. IT'LL BE PER VEHICLE, RADIO EQUIPMENT, LAPTOPS, BODY CAMERAS AND EMERGENCY LIGHTING. AND THE BODY CAMERAS KIND OF COME IN AS A SIDE NOTE, THAT IS CHARGING AND SO FORTH. AND EVERYTHING AROUND 19,000 PER VEHICLE FOR ALL THAT EQUIPMENT BEING INSTALLED BY VENDOR. 144 WE'VE USED QUITE OFTEN. AND THEN ON EVERYTHING ELSE I HAVE IS JUST BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THE VEHICLES AND THEY ARE READILY AVAILABLE. I DO BELIEVE IN COMMON CONVERSATIONS THIS AFTERNOON WITH CAPTAIN TAYLOR THAT SOME OF THE MAYBE THE EQUIPMENT FROM THE DAMAGED VEHICLE MAY BE ABLE TO BE TRANSFERRED OVER. YEAH, THE ONE THAT'S WE LOST, WE MAY BE ABLE TO DO THAT. JUST IT JUST DEPENDS ON WHAT WE CAN CALL IT.
[00:05:01]
SALVAGE FOR A BETTER WORD, GOING FROM ONE TO THE OTHER. MOST OF THE DAMAGE WAS BASED ON EXCEPT THE FRONT. YEAH, YEAH. SO ALL THE, THE MOST OF THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REUSE IT. SO THESE CARS ARE NOT QUIT. NO SIR. SO THAT IT'S A POLICE VEHICLE.YEAH. THESE COME JUST BASICALLY THE, THE VEHICLE ITSELF. THEN WE ADD THE I CALL IT THE AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT. IT'S GOING TO BE THE COST OF EQUIPMENT, THE EQUIPMENT. WHEN I LOOKED AT EVERYTHING IT'S ABOUT 19,000 PER VEHICLE. YEAH. AND THAT'S LABOR COST AS WELL I'M SORRY. THAT'S LABOR COST AS WELL OKAY. THE REASON I'M ASKING BECAUSE THIS JUST CAME UP THIS AFTERNOON, I MEAN, THIS HADN'T BEEN DISCUSSED. THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING. RIGHT? WHAT WOULD THESE FUNDS COME FROM? THE FUNDS WILL HAVE TO COME FROM THE TROUP COUNTY CAPITAL FUND. NOW, THIS IS COMING FROM THE SHERIFF. YEAH. THERE WILL THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IT COULD. BUT YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW THAT'S THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM.
YOU WANT TO APPRECIATE IT? YES, SIR I WILL. I WAS UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT CAPTAIN TAYLOR WILL BE HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS, BUT HE WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT ABLE TO MAKE IT.
SO THIS WILL BE NEW EQUIPMENT FOR BOTH VEHICLES. HE WON'T BE USING ANY EQUIPMENT FROM THE.
THE ONE THAT WAS. I WOULD I WOULD SAY IT'S PROBABLY A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT THAN IT IS AN ACTUAL AMOUNT. I DON'T KNOW THAT WE KNOW WHERE THE THE MONEY THAT EXACTLY HOW MUCH WILL TAKE. SO IT AS MUCH AS 19,000 BUT HOPEFULLY LESS IF WE CAN TRANSFER EQUIPMENT OVER.
RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. IF NOT THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN IT. LET ME SAY ONE MORE THING.
APOLOGIZE. A PORTION OF THE MONEY WILL BE RETURNED BECAUSE WE ARE. WE WILL GET SOME MONEY IN INSURANCE BACK FROM THE ACCIDENT. WE'RE JUST WAITING ON THAT MONEY TO TO COME IN. WE'LL BASICALLY GET THE FULL VALUE OF THE VEHICLE -$15,000, WHICH IS THE DEDUCTIBLE. SO JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT AS WELL. A HECK OF A DEDUCTIBLE. IT IS. GETTING THE WHOLE VALUE OF CAR THAT.
RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. NOT. THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. WE APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF THE TWO SHERIFF VEHICLES. MAKE A MOTION. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ITEM IS THE FY 26 ENHANCEMENT INNOVATION GRANT THAT JASMINE JOHNSON DISCUSSED THIS MORNING. WE'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE GRANTS, ONE IN THE AMOUNT OF $28,280 WITH A MATCH OF 4991, AND THEN A SECOND GRANT IN THE AMOUNT OF $23,820, AND A GRANT MATCH OF $4,204. THAT MATCH WOULD COME FROM THE DATE FUND. AND MARK, I THINK WE DISCUSSED THIS MORNING, WE CAN VOTE ON THIS AT ONCE. YOU CAN, I THINK. THE MOTION WE JUST NEED TO REFER TO, I THINK FDAC AND MHC AND JUST DO IT AS A CONSOLIDATED, CONSOLIDATED MOTION FOR BOTH THOSE TWO. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS. OKAY. IF NOT THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE FELONY ADULT DRUG COURT AND THE MENTAL HEALTH COURT ENHANCEMENT AND INNOVATION AWARD. SO MOVED.
MR. CHAIR, DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? HEY, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIES. OUR NEXT ITEM IS A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE. LAGRANGE COUNTY AIRPORT. THE THE NEW AMOUNT IS NOT TO EXCEED $285,000 TO HELP COVER THE CHANGE ORDER. AND IT WILL COME FROM THE AIRPORT FUND. THERE WAS A POINT THIS MORNING IN REFERENCE TO. THE PROPERTY OWNERS BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THEIR THEIR WANTS AND NEEDS. WE WERE ABLE TO FINALIZE THE DETAILS OF THE LAST PROPERTY THIS AFTERNOON, SO MOVING FORWARD GIVES US A CLEAR PATH TO TO FINISH THE PROJECT WITHIN THE SCOPE.
[00:10:08]
ACCORDING TO THE CONTRACT, THE. WE'RE SENDING ANOTHER DRONE UP ON THURSDAY MORNING TO VALIDATE ALL THE COUNTS AND TO VERIFY THE ALTITUDES OF THOSE TREES THAT WE WE FELT WERE AT CLOSE, CLOSE ENOUGH TO AT RISK FOR SAFETY OF NAVIGATION. SO THAT'LL BE THE LAST CORROBORATION OR CONFIRMATION OF ALL THE TREES BEING REMOVED FOR SAFETY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CHANGE ORDER FOR THE OBSTRUCTION CLEARANCE FOR THE LAGRANGE CALLAWAY AIRPORT. SO MOVED. AND DO I HAVE A SECOND SECOND FOR THE AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $285,000? DO I HAVE A MOTION ALREADY? GOT THE MOTION. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. MOTION IS CARRIED. ALL RIGHT, NEXT ITEM IS THE HANGAR DEVELOPMENT GROUND LEASE FOR WITH NCAI CORPORATION. WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR A MOTION TO EXECUTE THE GROUND LEASE. OKAY. ANY QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE.THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE LEASE FOR THE HANGAR DEVELOPMENT WITH KMC CORPORATION. DO I HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION IS CARRIED. OKAY. NEXT UP IS CONSIDERATION OF THE C LAGRANGE'S REDEVELOPMENT PLAN. I BELIEVE WE HAVE REPRESENTATION HERE FOR THE TAD.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. MAN. IF YOU DON'T MIND, IF YOU'LL JUST STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD. YES, SIR. EXCUSE ME. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. MATT BOONE, ADDRESS IS 124 CLOISTER DRIVE, PEACHTREE CITY, GEORGIA. I THANK YOU ALL FOR FOR LETTING ME BE HERE. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. I APPRECIATE YOUR QUESTIONS.
YOU'VE HAD AS WELL, VERY MUCH. AND OBVIOUSLY WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME GOING THROUGH THIS PROJECT AND, AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO AND PROVIDE. WE HOPE THAT IT'S NOT JUST A BENEFIT TO US, BUT ALSO A BENEFIT TO TROUP COUNTY AND THE CITY OF LAGRANGE. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO BE HERE.
SO THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION OF THE THE TAD AND THE VOTE TONIGHT. AND IF I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS. ARE WE LOOKING AT 15 PARCELS. RIGHT. I BELIEVE IT'S 15 IN THE TOTAL TAD PLAN SO FAR AS WHAT THE TAD DISTRICT ENCOMPASSES. AND AS A REMINDER, WHAT THIS IS TONIGHT IS IT ESTABLISHES THE THE TAD OR THE OR THE DISTRICT OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE HELD WITHIN THOSE BOUNDARIES. ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS UNDERNEATH THAT TAD COMES IN SEPARATELY AS A SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT PLAN THAT IS REVIEWED BY THE CITY AND BY THE CITY OFFICIALS AND BY SOMETIMES A THIRD PARTY. SO AND THEN AT THAT POINT, YOU ENTER A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT TO ALLOW THAT DEVELOPMENT TO GO FORWARD AND BE USED FOR INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS AND THOSE THINGS. SO THE VOTE TONIGHT IS SIMPLY TO ESTABLISH THAT BOUNDARY. AND THEN WE STILL HAVE DIFFERENT HURDLES AND DIFFERENT NEEDS THAT WE HAVE TO MEET WITHIN THAT WHEN WE COME AND WE APPLY FOR THE ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT TO GO FORWARD. IS THAT WHEN THAT LATER DATE IS WHEN THE YEARS WILL BE DISCUSSED, OR IS THAT TIED TO THIS SO FAR AS WHICH YEAR? THE 2025 YEARS. SO THIS ESTABLISHES A TAD FOR 25 YEARS.
OKAY. THAT IS THAT IS THE INTENT AND WHICH I'VE STATED ALL ALONG. THESE PROJECTS ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO DO. WE NEED EVERY BIT OF HELP THAT WE CAN HAVE. AND AND THIS IS A, THIS IS A GIANT OR A REALLY GOOD STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I STILL HAVE A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT I HAVE TO DO AND GET ACCOMPLISHED TO GET THIS PROJECT UP OUT OF THE GROUND, AND I HOPE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THAT. BUT THIS IS A IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. WITHOUT THIS STEP, THOUGH, AS I'VE TOLD ALL YOU GUYS AND EVERYONE ELSE, WITHOUT THIS STEP, I'M AT A NONSTARTER. IT'S THE ONLY WAY THAT WE CAN DO THIS PROJECT AND AND PROVIDE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE AND DO THE TYPES OF TENANTS AND THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO ON THIS PROPERTY. WHAT IS THE SUNSHINE LAW OR WHATEVER? THAT'S THIS CLAUSE IN THE AGREEMENT, SUNSET CLAUSE. OKAY. THAT THAT IS CONSTRUCTION HAS THERE'S GOT TO BE MEANINGFUL PROGRESS AND CONSTRUCTION BY DECEMBER 31ST, 2030. YES. IF NOT, THEN THAT TERMINATES. JUST
[00:15:07]
FOR CLARIFICATION. AND THAT'S NOT INCORRECT. OBVIOUSLY WE'VE BEEN SAYING, BUT THE CITY AND THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY CREATE THE TAD. WHAT'S GOING TO BE BEFORE YOU HERE TONIGHT IS A RESOLUTION AND AN INTER-GOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT IN WHICH THE COUNTY IS AGREEING TO INCLUDE ITS TAX INCREMENT INTO THE TAD. SO THAT'S TECHNICALLY WHAT YOU'RE DOING TONIGHT. AND PART OF PART OF THAT SUNSET WAS THROUGH OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH EVERYONE INVOLVED, BECAUSE WE WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE COUNTY, THE CITY, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION, WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A DESIRE FOR NOT A EVERLASTING TAD, RIGHT. THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN ENDING TO IT.THAT'S NOT OUR INTENT. WE'RE NOT TRYING TO JUST PURCHASE PROPERTIES AND HAVE A BENEFIT TO THOSE PROPERTIES UNTIL WE DECIDE TO DEVELOP. OUR INTENT IS TO TRY TO TO BEGIN DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PROPERTY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO THAT'S WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF THE OF THE FIVE YEAR WINDOW. AND JUST FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION, AGAIN, NOT INCORRECT, BUT THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS IS THESE WILL BE THE ONLY THIS WILL BE THE ONLY TIME UNLESS THE TAD IS EXTENDED AS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, OR THE SUNSET PROVISION IS EXTENDED.
THAT WOULD REQUIRE CONSENT OF THE BOARD TO DO THAT. THIS TONIGHT YOU'LL DO A RESOLUTION INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT. THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS ARE ALL BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPER. CORRECT. SO THE COUNTY, ONCE IT COMMITS ITS INCREMENT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH OUT OF THE OUT OF THE PROBLEM, THE PROCESS OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE TAB. THERE WILL BE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY, I GUESS AS FAR AS THE I MEAN, SO ONCE THIS HAPPENS THERE IS ANOTHER AGREEMENT HAS TO BE SIGNED. BUT WE WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT PART OF THAT COUNTY IS NOT A PARTY TO THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. BUT YES, THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS WOULD BE SIGNED BETWEEN THE THE DEVELOPER AND THE CITY WITH THE DETAILS OF THE PROJECT, THE CONSTRUCTIONS, THE TIMELINES, THE WAY THE INCREMENT IS, IS PAID, WHETHER THERE'S BOND FINANCING OR PAY AS YOU GO. ALL THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. THAT'S CORRECT. YES, SIR. AND THEN ALSO ONE THING TO TO REMIND EVERYBODY IS THIS IS THIS IS NOT A TAX ABATEMENT. THIS IS TAX INCREMENT FINANCING. AND I THINK THAT'S JUST AN IMPORTANT, IMPORTANT POINT FOR EVERYBODY TO TO BE AWARE OF. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR A WHILE. HOW CONFIDENT DO YOU FEEL IN PULLING THE BEST THE THE BASE STORY IN? I WAS ALLOWED TO TO MENTION A TENANT NAME ONE TIME AND THEN I WAS TOLD, OKAY, THAT'S YOUR ONE TIME. SO I'LL, I'LL STAY AWAY FROM TENANT NAMES. WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT I'VE CONTINUED TO HAVE VERY, VERY GOOD NEGOTIATIONS ON ALL FRONTS, INCLUDING THAT ONE, AS WELL AS SOME ADDITIONAL ANCHORS. I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ANNOUNCE AND TALK ABOUT VERY SOON. SO I FEEL THAT THAT OPPORTUNITY IS VERY REAL.
IT'S THERE TO BE MADE. WHAT I AM DOING AS THE DEVELOPER. CURRENTLY, MY BIGGEST HURDLE IS BUDGET AND IT'S ALWAYS MY HURDLE. FRANKLY, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS. CAN I GET TENANTS COMMITTED? CAN I GET THEM NON-CONTINGENT ON VERY LONG TERM LEASES? YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, 1015 TO 20 YEAR LEASES, VERY COMPLEX DEALS. AS LONG AS I CAN GET THAT DONE, THEN IT ALWAYS COMES DOWN TO BUDGET. AND THESE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENTS DON'T OCCUR VERY OFTEN BECAUSE COSTS HAVE RISEN SO MUCH OVER THE LAST 15, 20 YEARS, WHEREAS RENTS HAVE NOT RISEN THE SAME. AND SO THIS IS THE ONLY SCENARIO IN WHICH YOU EVER SEE THEM EVEN HAVE A HOPE AND A POSSIBILITY. SO IT'S HARD FOR ME TO TO GIVE A PROBABILITY ON SOMETHING, BECAUSE I TELL EVERYBODY THE SAME THING WHEN I PUT A BULLDOZER ON THE GROUND AND YOU SEE ME MOVING THAT DIRT, NOW WE'RE 100%, NOW WE'RE GOING FORWARD. UNTIL THEN, THERE'S SO MANY HURDLES, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH LEASING OR FINANCING OR PERMITTING OR ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE TO FALL IN PLACE. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GIVE YOU A PERCENTAGE.
BUT WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS TENANT FEEDBACK HAS BEEN VERY STRONG, LIKE, LIKE EXTREMELY STRONG. AND THAT'S BECAUSE LAGRANGE NEEDS THIS. TROUP COUNTY NEEDS THIS, RIGHT? LIKE THERE'S YOU HAVE TO GO A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE IN EITHER DIRECTION TO GET TO THESE TYPES OF RETAILERS THAT WE'RE HOPING TO LAND ON THIS PROPERTY. AND SO IT'S A UNIQUE SCENARIO WHERE THERE'S A BIG OPEN DOOR. AND AND THESE TENANTS ARE RECOGNIZING THAT, AND THEY'RE RECOGNIZING THAT THERE'S A REALLY GREAT POPULATION AND THERE'S A REALLY GREAT LIKE I SAID, I APOLOGIZE, I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU A SPECIFIC PERCENTAGE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT MY PARTNER AND I ARE PURSUING THIS WITH EVERY INCH WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, WE ARE THROWING PROBABLY TOO MUCH GOOD MONEY AT THIS, TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, BUT WE WOULDN'T DO THAT IF THERE WASN'T A REASON. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT. AND I'VE TALKED, I'VE TALKED, WE'VE TALKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, AND YOU UNDERSTOOD MY CONCERNS. AND THROUGH THIS WHOLE PROCESS. YES, SIR. APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW, ALL
[00:20:03]
THROUGH THIS PROCESS. ABSOLUTELY. I'VE LOOKED AT IT HARD. I'VE TOLD YOU FROM THE GET GO, HEY, I'M NOT AGAINST THIS PROJECT. YOU KNOW, I TOLD YOU I'D BE THE FIRST ONE. YOU KNOW, I WALK IN THE FRONT DOOR WITH YOU. YOU KNOW, I'M HOPING WE DO IT. SO. WELL. I CAN SAY THAT YOU HAVE CREATED A LOT OF EXCITEMENT AROUND TROUP COUNTY. DIFFERENT PLACES THAT I'VE BEEN.I'VE ASKED PEOPLE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS DEVELOPMENT? MEN AND WOMEN, THEY'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOR SHOPPING. AND WE KNOW THAT. AND I KEEP SAYING, I THINK HOME DEPOT HAS BEEN OUT THERE FOR 20 YEARS. IT'S BEEN OUT THERE A LONG TIME, AND NOTHING HAS EVER HAPPENED ON THAT SITE. AND I THINK FOR OUR COMMUNITY, PEOPLE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT SEEING SOMETHING HAPPEN OUT THERE. SO YES, WE APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK.
ABSOLUTELY. I APPRECIATE YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE CITY HAS APPROVED THIS. WE TAKE IT UP TONIGHT. THE SCHOOL BOARD TAKES IT UP THURSDAY NIGHT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, THEN I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE TAD FOR THE CITY OF LAGRANGE REDEVELOPMENT. SO MOVED. DO I HAVE A SECOND? SECOND? OKAY. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION IS CARRIED. SO THANK YOU GUYS VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THIS MORNING WE DISCUSSED THE TROUP COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. TONIGHT WE COME BEFORE YOU TO REQUEST ADOPTION OF PLAN. I WILL MAKE NOTE THAT ONCE WE DO THIS, ZACH WILL NEED TO GO BEFORE HOGANSVILLE, WEST POINT AND LAGRANGE AS WELL FOR THEIR ADOPTION. THAT'S CORRECT. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. JUST TO KIND OF RECAP THIS MORNING, THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF THIS IS THE TROUP COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLANNING COMMITTEE IDENTIFIED 76 MITIGATION STRATEGIES, 67 WHICH WERE NATURAL HAZARDS AND NINE OF TECHNOLOGICAL HAZARDS. THROUGH THIS, WITH 11 NEW MITIGATION STRATEGIES AND ONE TEXT AMENDMENT ALREADY THAT WAS GEARED TOWARDS THE OUTDOOR WEATHER SIRENS. THIS PLAN REQUIRES FEDERAL FEDERALLY REQUIRED TO BE UPDATED EVERY FIVE YEARS. WE WERE KIND OF JOKING ABOUT IT WHEN WE WERE GOING OVER THE RESOLUTION WITH MARK EARLIER THAT WE STARTED EARLY, THINKING WE WERE GETTING OUT IN FRONT OF IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2023, AND HERE WE ARE 25 MONTHS LATER. WE'RE ACTUALLY LATE TO THE PROCESS BECAUSE FEMA SAT ON THIS FOR SO LONG. SO OUR OUR PREVIOUS PLAN WAS IN PLACE LEADING UP TO THIS MOMENT.
BUT SO WE'VE ALWAYS HAD ONE. BUT JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS AS WELL. WE'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE THIS IN PLACE TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING. SO VERY SIMILAR TO THE JANUARY 12TH, 2023 STORM THAT CAME THROUGH HERE. WHEN WE RECEIVED THE FEDERAL DECLARATION, WE WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ANY FEDERAL FUNDING THROUGH DISASTER AND THE STAFFORD ACT THROUGH THAT. WITHOUT THIS IN PLACE OR ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR ANY HAZARD MITIGATION GRANTS OR FEDERAL FUNDING UP THROUGH GMA OR FEMA, THAT'S THE FEDERAL PASS THROUGH MONEY THAT'S GOT EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT DIRECTOR TO IT. AND I'LL BE GLAD TO SHARE THIS PLAN WITH ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO READ IT. A SOLID 300 PAGES LONG. SO. ALL RIGHT.
ANY QUESTIONS? HEARING NONE. THEN I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE TROUP COUNTY HAZARD MITIGATION PLAN. SO MOVED. I HAVE A SECOND. SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR?
[V. Public Hearings]
THANK YOU. MOTION IS CARRIED. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM ON OUR AGENDA IS PUBLIC HEARING. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE COME OUT OF THE REGULAR MEETING AND GO INTO PUBLIC HEARING. THE CHAIRMAN I'LL MAKE A MOTION. WE COME OUT OF REGULAR MEETING, GO INTO PUBLIC. ANY PUBLIC HEARING, I'LL HAVE A SECOND. SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIED. GOOD EVENING, COMMISSIONERS. GOOD EVENING. THE STAFF IS ASKING YOU FOR APPROVAL OF THE ALCOHOL ORDINANCE. I WILL GO THROUGH SOME OF THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE MADE STARTING ON PAGE TWO.WE'VE ADDED THE LICENSING FOR SALES OF ALCOHOL BEVERAGES. WE'VE ADDED THE DIFFERENT TYPE OF CLASSIFICATIONS OF ALCOHOL LICENSE THAT WE ISSUE. THERE ARE A FEW THINGS IN THE DISTILLED SPIRITS THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED BACK IN AND CLARIFIED DEFINITIONS. WE'VE GONE THROUGH THE DEFINITIONS AND UPDATED THEM. WE'LL CONSOLIDATE THEM. GOING THROUGH
[00:25:10]
THIS JUST A LITTLE, INSTEAD OF HAVING MALT BEVERAGE AND WINE, WE JUST PUT ALCOHOL BEVERAGES SO IT COVERS EVERYTHING TO INCLUDE DISTILLED SPIRITS. WE'VE CHANGED THE TIMES OF THE OPENING AND CLOSING, BASICALLY JUST THE OPENING TO REFLECT THE WHAT WAS VOTED ON, WHICH WAS THE 11 A.M. ONCE AGAIN, JUST CHANGE EVERYTHING TO ALCOHOL BEVERAGES. ADDED IN BEER.BECAUSE THERE'S A DEFINITION. THERE'S A DIFFERENT DEFINITION FOR BEER NOW INSTEAD OF JUST MALT BEVERAGE, BECAUSE ALL BEER ARE NOT FROM MALT BEVERAGE. THE REPORTS FOR THE DISTILLED SPIRIT TAX THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED IN, THERE'S ONE FOR ALL, THE OTHER FOR THE BEER AND WINE, BUT THERE WASN'T ONE FOR THE DISTILLED SPIRIT, SO THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDED BACK IN.
ALSO, THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN THE OTHER DISTILLED SPIRIT TAX TO THIS ONE. IT TELLS US HOW MUCH WE CAN CHARGE PER LITER ON TAXES FOR THOSE SALES AND CHANGE TO SEQUENCING. AND THAT IS IT. THOSE ARE ALL THE CHANGES THAT WE'VE HAD WITH CHAPTER SIX, AND WE'RE ASKING FOR APPROVAL OF THAT. THE CHANGES TO THE ALCOHOL ORDINANCE. WE'RE NOT REQUIRED TO DO LIKE A FIRST OR SECOND READING. NO, THIS IS THIS IS A POLICE THIS IS A POLICE POWER ORDINANCE. SO. TECHNICALLY PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE NOT TECHNICALLY REQUIRED, BUT THE COUNTY HAS IN PRIOR BOARDS AND HISTORICALLY HAS WENT AHEAD AND HAD PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR ALCOHOL RELATED ITEMS. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. ANY QUESTIONS, MISS RUTH? ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. SO THIS IS PUBLIC HEARING. WE'LL GIVE ANYONE AN OPPORTUNITY THEY'D LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST THIS. SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK AGAINST THIS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORTH. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THIS, YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME FORTH. ALRIGHT. HEARING NONE. THIS IS FIRST READING, BUT IT WOULD BE VOTE ELIGIBLE. SO I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE. LET'S SEE HOW WE HOW DO WE WANT TO SAY THAT THE CHANGES TO THE. CHANGE THE TEXT AMENDMENT FOR THE ALCOHOL ORDINANCE. ORDINANCE. RUTH I'M GETTING TONGUE TIED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY? APPROVAL OF THE REVISIONS TO CHAPTER SIX OF THE COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES REGARDING ALCOHOL. DO I HAVE A MOTION? SO MOVED. I HAVE A SECOND. SECOND? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MOTION IS CARRIED. OKAY. THE NEXT ONE IS THE TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE THAT WENT INTO EFFECT ON AUGUST 1ST. WE MADE SOME CHANGES TO THE PERMITTED USE CHART. EXCUSE ME FOR ONE SECOND. DID THE VOTE GO THROUGH FOR THE LAST? IT DIDN'T SHOW UP. I VOTED, BUT IT DIDN'T. IT DIDN'T. I SECOND. OKAY, YEAH, I'M HERE, I WROTE IT, I JUST FLASHING FOR ME. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU. I THOUGHT I HIT THE GO. I'M SORRY.
NOW GO BACK ONCE AGAIN. SORRY. THE STAFF IS COMING BEFORE YOU TO ASK AN APPROVAL FOR THE CHANGES TO THE UNITE THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE THAT WENT INTO EFFECT ON AUGUST 1ST, 2025. SOME OF THE CHANGES ARE TO THE PERMITTED USE CHART WE'VE ADDED BACK IN HUNTING CLUB WITH LODGE AND ATHLETIC HEALTH CLUB. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE DIFFERENT ZONINGS THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED IN. WE ALSO CHANGED SOME LANGUAGE IN THE MANUFACTURED HOME DWELLING ORDINANCE WITH MARK, MADE A CONCISE CHANGE TO THE LANGUAGE. THEN WE WENT DOWN TO THE SUBSECTION AND WE DID NOT HAVE THE LOT, THE LOT SIZE THAT THEY ARE ALLOWED ON. SO WE CHANGED IT TO FIVE ACRES OR MORE IN THE. SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS FOR ACCESSORY USES. MY APOLOGIES.
[00:30:11]
WE'VE CHANGED THE LETTERING. AND ALSO WE ADDED THE FOLLOWING TO THE PROHIBITED RESIDENTIAL HOME OCCUPATION AS IT RELATES TO CRYPTOCURRENCY. AND THAT WOULD BE A EXHIBIT A AND THAT WOULD BE THE WHOLE ORDINANCE IS EXHIBIT A IS WE HAD TO DO THE NUMBERING SYSTEM. SO YOU WILL BE APPROVING THAT WHOLE PORTION OF THE ORDINANCE ALSO FOR HOME OCCUPATION. OUR NEXT ONE, THE NEXT CHANGES IS TO THE SIGN ORDINANCE. WE HAD A TYPO WHERE IT RELATES TO THE ZONING INSTEAD OF KR. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LC, WHICH IS LIMITED COMMERCIAL. AS YOU GO DOWN, WE HAVE MADE CHANGES TO THE QUASI JUDICIAL. REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLIC NOTICES. BEFORE WE HAD IT FOR 30 DAYS. NOW THE STATE HAS CORRECTED IT AND SAID IT NEEDS TO BE 15, BUT NOT MORE THAN 45 DAYS PRIOR TO THE HEARING FOR VARIANCES, ETC. THAT GOES BEFORE THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AND PLANNING COMMISSION. SO THAT IS REFLECTED THROUGHOUT THAT SECTION. GO DOWN TO MAJOR SUBDIVISIONS. WE MADE A CHANGE. WE THERE WAS A PORTION THAT LEFT IN SAID THAT THE FINAL PLAT NEEDED TO GO TO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AND PLANNING COMMISSION, BUT THE STANDARD PROCEDURES IS FOR THE FINAL PLAT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL WITHOUT HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AND PLANNING COMMISSION. AND THAT IS ALL THE CHANGES THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW FOR TEXT AMENDMENT TO THE UDO. WE'RE ASKING YOUR APPROVAL FOR THOSE CHANGES TO GO INTO EFFECT. WE DO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE PORTION FOR THE QUASI JUDICIAL ACTUALLY BE APPROVED TODAY, AND TO GO INTO EFFECT BY THE 1ST OF JANUARY. IT IS THE FIRST READING AND IT IS VOTE ELIGIBLE. EXPLAIN HUNTING CLUB WITH THE LODGE. WHAT? EXPLAIN THAT THAT GOES ON AGRICULTURAL.BEFORE WE HAD IT IN THE OLD ORDINANCE, FOR SOME REASON THAT WAS LEFT OUT ON THE PERMITTED USE CHART. SO WE'RE JUST PUSHING IT BACK IN. IT IS PRIVATE. IT IS NOT. IT'S NOT A PUBLIC. HUNTING CLUB, SAYING INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY OWNERS THAT ARE LEASING LAND TO HUNTERS, WHAT CAN THEY CAN THEY GO IN THERE? WHAT CAN THEY GO IN THERE AND DO WITH THIS HUNTING CLUB, WITH THE LODGE? THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS TO GO IN AND REQUEST THAT, OKAY, FOR BUILDING FOR THE BUILDING. YES. IT CANNOT BE A LEASEHOLDER. IT HAS TO BE THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT REQUIRES. RIGHT? THEY CANNOT. A LEASEHOLDER CANNOT BUILD ON A PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION. THE PROPERTY OWNER WITH THEM COULDN'T BUILD. THEY CAN BUILD A LODGE. YES. OKAY.
THAT WAS IN THE ACTUAL OLD ORDINANCE HUNTING CLUB WITH LODGE. AND THAT'S THE EXACT LANGUAGE WE PUT BACK IN. OKAY, I JUST I JUST KNOW IT'S A FINE LINE BETWEEN CAMPING AND CAMPING AND THAT IS AND WILL REQUIRE, THAT WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN JUST THE LODGE ITSELF.
YOU'LL HAVE TO HAVE YOU COULD IN THIS RIGHT NOW WITH THIS, THIS ORDINANCE RIGHT HERE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BUILD A LODGE IN, SAY, 4 OR 5, SIX HUNTERS COULD STAY IN THAT LODGE. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS NOT WHAT WE UNDERSTAND IT TO BE. THE LODGE IS A CERTAIN. IT IS JUST A PRIVATE CLUB THAT THEY CAN HAVE. YEAH, A PRIVATE CLUB. SO DO WE WISH TO LIMIT IT TO THE.
I'M JUST ASKING I JUST BUT IT IS. THIS HAS BEEN A TOUCHY THING FOR YEARS IN TRIGG COUNTY.
I WAS JUST ASKING SO IN THAT IN OTHER WORDS THAT WHAT IS WHAT STRUCTURES ALLOWED? IF SOMEBODY LEASES THAT, WHAT ARE THEY ALLOWED? IF THEY LEASE IT, THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED. A STRUCTURE ALLOWED IS ANYTHING PROPERTY OWNER THAT NEEDS TO REQUEST A BUILDING PERMIT FOR THAT STRUCTURE, AND THEY WILL HAVE TO COME THROUGH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OFFICE WITH THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION, A SITE PLAN THAT HAS TO BE APPROVED BY THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ROSEN ENGINEERING HEALTH DEPARTMENT FIRE MARSHAL BEFORE IT CAN EVEN GO FORWARD. SO THEY DO HAVE TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENTS FOR THE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON AGRICULTURAL LAND. IT IS, AND IT IS A CLUB. IT'S A TYPE OF COMMERCIAL
[00:35:03]
DEVELOPMENT, AND IT MUST MEET THOSE GUIDELINES SO THE PROPERTY OWNER CAN DO IT. THE LEASE. HE CAN'T. YEAH, RIGHT. THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. YEAH, YEAH. BUT THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS. OKAY. BUT THEY'LL HAVE TO COME THROUGH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THEY CAN'T JUST SAY OH I'M BUILDING THIS. BUT THEY HAVE TO GET APPROVAL FROM THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ALONG WITH OTHER STAFF MEMBERS BEFORE THEY CAN GO FORWARD. LAND COMES UNDER AG JUST THAT, JUST A HUNTING CLUB. YES. JUST THAT THE HUNTING CLUB. ANY OTHER RECREATIONAL HAS A DIFFERENT UMBRELLA THAT THEY FALL UNDER. LIKE A COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK, CABINS, ALL OF THOSE FALL UNDER A DIFFERENT UMBRELLA. SO THAT WOULD BE A COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK. AND THAT IS TOTALLY SEPARATE. IF THEY START BUILDING A LOT OF CABINS, YOU'RE ENDING UP GOING TO BE A COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK, AND THEY'LL HAVE TO COME THROUGH THIS, THE BOARD TO GET ALL THOSE APPROVALS CHANGED FROM, SAY, IF IT WAS AN AGRICULTURAL, AGRICULTURAL, RESIDENTIAL, YOU GOT TO CHANGE THAT ZONING BACK TO COMMERCIAL.NO, THERE'S AN UNDERLYING A COMMERCIAL RECREATION VEHICLE PARK CAN GO IN ANY ZONING AS LONG AS THEY MEET THOSE REQUIREMENTS OF A TEN ACRES OR MORE. AND THE THE THE OVERLAY IS AGRICULTURAL. THE UNDERLAY WOULD BE THE COMMERCIAL RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARK, WHICH MEANS CABINS SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO THIS BOARD AND THE BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS AND PLANNING COMMISSION TO GET APPROVAL FOR THAT. SO, SO UNDER THIS, THEY'RE SAYING THAT THEY COULD CREATE THE OWNER COULD HAVE A HUNTING CLUB. PEOPLE COULD COME THERE, MEET, HAVE A MEETING, WHATEVER. BUT IT'S NOT OVERNIGHT. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT.
IT'S JUST GETTING TOGETHER TO DO THAT, TO HAVE THAT, TO HAVE A MEETING TO GO HUNTING. SO A LOT IS JUST THAT, A LIKE, WHAT'S THAT LODGE OVER ON LIKE ON SOUTH DAVIS ROAD. THERE'S A LODGE OVER THERE. SO IT'S JUST AND IT'S IN THE DEFINITIONS. IF WE CAN PULL UP THOSE DEFINITIONS, THE LODGE WE'RE NOT I'M NOT ADDING I JUST THIS IS JUST IT WAS IN THE ORDINANCE.
WE'RE JUST PUTTING IT BACK IN. AND IT JUST SAYS THAT IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A PRIVATE HUNTING CLUB LODGE, YOU ARE ALLOWED IN THOSE DISTRICTS, PERIOD. THAT'S ALL IT IS. THE WHOLE THING ABOUT PERMITS IS, IS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE BUILDING A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE, A POLE BARN, A HUNTING LODGE, IF YOU WANT A PERMIT, YOU STILL HAVE TO COME IN AND GET A PERMIT, LIKE THE PROPERTY, THE PROPERTY OWNER, RIGHT? YEAH. NOT NOT A LEASEE. SO THAT'S LIKE A WHOLE I MEAN, THAT'S NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING. SO I JUST, I THINK IT KIND OF GOT CLOUDED THERE. THIS IS JUST, THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BUILDING PERMITS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A PERMITTED YOU ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE A PRIVATE HUNTING LODGE IN THOSE ZONING DISTRICTS. PERIOD. BUILDING PERMITS ARE COMPLETELY SEPARATE. IT IS IT, ISN'T IT, 1000FT■!S MINIMUM? IS THAT WHATE RESIDENTIAL RESIDENTIAL STRUCTURE? WHAT WOULD BE THE MINIMUM SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THIS ONE IF YOU JUST IF YOU ARE DOING LIKE A LODGE, I MEAN IT REALLY WOULDN'T BE A MINIMUM IF YOU'RE GOING AS SMALL AS YOU WANT. I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY CUSTOMERS WITH YOU IF IT'S SMALL. HUNTERS PUBS, NOT REAL BIG. THERE'S A LOT OF RESTAURANT CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A LESS COMPLICATED QUESTION. IN TERMS OF THAT CHANGE OF FIVE ACRES OR MORE FOR THE MANUFACTURED HOUSING UNITS, WHAT WAS IT PRIOR TO THAT? IT WAS AS LONG AS YOU CAN FIT IT ON A RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MEETING ALL SETBACK REQUIREMENTS. OKAY. AND SO WE JUST YOU ADDED FIVE ACRES. THE MAIN THING WAS IS THAT YOU, YOU IF IF THE BOARD GRANTED IT BECAUSE IT HAD TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD, YOU PUT A MANUFACTURED HOME IN ANY ZONING DISTRICT. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT IT WAS. IT'S A NICE MOVE TO ADD THE CHANGE WAS THAT IT HAS TO BE A MINIMUM SIZE AND AG IS FIVE INCHES. THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. BUT IT STILL HAS TO COME BEFORE THE COMMISSIONERS FOR APPROVAL. THANK YOU. IT WASN'T THAT COMPLICATED. YES. SO THESE OTHER TWO ITEMS THAT THE BOARD ASKED ABOUT FOUNDATION SURVEYS AND CHICKEN FARMS, THAT'S NOTHING'S INCLUDED IN NOT ON THIS ONE.
