Background:

Attached for consideration is a newly revised ordinance amendment for the Mayor and Council regular meeting schedule. The ordinance has been amended to include November 19, 2019 as a regular meeting date and moves the December 3 meeting to December 10. Having a meeting on December 3 would limit time for adequate preparation as staff will be out for the Thanksgiving holidays on November 28 and 29. Therefore, staff respectfully requests to have only one meeting in December on the 10th.

Additionally, staff respectfully requests that Mayor and Council waive first reading of this ordinance.

Background:

Attached for consideration is an ordinance amendment revising Chapter 60 (solid waste), Article 2 (solid waste collection and disposal) of the code of ordinances. Revised sections include: section 60-2-1 (definitions), section 60-2-2 (carts; curbside service), section  60-2-3 (storing of refuse), section 60-2-4 (disposal of rubbish), section 60-2-5 (collection of rubbish; disposal of building material), section 60-2-6 (personnel not to enter buildings; tipping prohibited), section 60-2-7 (multifamily dwellings), section 6-2-8 (littering and offensive accumulations), section 60-2-9 (use of city receptacles), section 60-2-10 (transporting of garbage, etc), section 60-2-11 (types of garbage prohibited), section 60-2-12 (sanitary fees), and section 60-2-13 (commercial containers) of the code of ordinances. 

Background:

In November 2018, Mayor and Council approved renewing the contract with B+C Studios for City Planning and Zoning support. The city continues to experience growth and has continued need for planning and zoning services. The City's Planning Consultant is responsible for:

1. Zoning application, conditional use permit and site plan review services; variance and appeals application review services; 
2. Comprehensive Plan updates, including Short Term Work Program (STWP) project development;
3. Periodic updates to the Zoning Ordinance, Zoning Map and other ordinances;
4. Recommendations concerning land use and zoning, including annexation;
5. Review sign permit applications;
6. Review occupational tax permits;
7. Grant writing; and
8. The Consultant agrees to attend public meetings as needed, site visits, and attend work sessions with the City Manager per month during each calendar year of execution and renewal, if renewed, of the planning program of the City.

The proposed B+C Studios' planning services contract will auto renew each year unless terminated by either party.  Staff recommends approval for provision of planning services by B+C Studios. 

Background:

The Rail Facilities Project consisted of installing approximately a mile of new sidewalks, paving, drainage structures, fencing and curb & gutters. This final adjusting change order is for additional storm pipe, additional paving quantities and primarily for the removal of contaminated soil. The soil near the tracks contained creosote and needed to be removed for planting grass. This project has been completed and the final adjusting change order amount will be funded by TSPLOST collections.                

Background:

The proposed skatepark will be located beside the tennis courts at the Tommy Morris Sports Complex. This skatepark will provide a dedicated and safe place for kids to ride their skateboards. The planned funding source for the project is Tourism Product Development allocation of Hotel Motel Tax collections.   

Background:

With the completion of the theater rebuild, and its October 2019 opening, it is time to update the operating lease for present conditions and a long awaited future.   Updating the lease will include removal of references to HATT.  Additionally, as we make modifications to the agreement, there may be other provisions mayor and council will suggest. 

Staff seeks any additional recommendations from Mayor and Council on updates to the agreement.  Staff has tasked legal with bringing forth language suitable for creating a multi-year agreement
