I
Good
evening,
mayor
and
Council
good
evening,
so
normally
I
take
this
time
to
review
the
previous
month's
financial
statements
I'm
going
to
review
those
in
a
later
item.
When
we
talk
about
budget
amendments,
so
right
now,
I
just
wanted
to
cover
some
general
items
and
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
bond
rating,
the
budget,
the
audit
and
the
Digest.
I
When
the
real
estate
and
personal
property
taxes
came
in
I'm
glad
to
report
that
we're
in
a
much
better
position
today,
as
evidenced
by
our
Prime
investment
grade
credit
rating
with
s
p,
Global
and
Moody's
investors.
Services
and
those
are
primarily
a
result
of
our
fund
balance
accounts,
which
some
people
also
call
our
reserves
and
our
cash
balances
and
I
just
want
to
read
a
statement
from
the
Moody's
investor
report
as
to
why
we
had
a
issuer
rating
of
double
A2
and
for
the
City
of
Canton.
I
I
I
We
should
be
proud
of
that
number.
We
should
also
be
proud
that
the
current
Year's
budget
2023,
when
we
amend
prepared
it
in
2022.
At
that
time
we
had
a
eight
percent
increase
to
the
general
fund
for
the
current
year
over
previous
year,
and
it
turns
out
that
the
social
security
administration's
Cola
for
2023
calendar
year
was
8.7
percent,
so
we've
been
in
line
for
the
last
few
years
regarding
our
budget
as
it
is
September.
I
I
Now,
if,
if
that's
something
you
weren't
comfortable
with,
we
can
go
ahead
and
do
an
RFP
now
that
would
pretty
much
commit
us
four
or
three
years
moving
forward,
but,
like
I
said,
finance
department
is
recommending.
We
just
do
a
one-year
extension
with
the
current
auditors
and
then
next
year
would
do
the
RFP
for
three
years
moving
forward
and
the
city
manager.
I
would
be
glad
to
answer
any
questions
in
that
regard.
I
And,
lastly,
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
digest.
If
you
haven't
noticed
the
tax
statements
from
Cherokee
County
went
live
today.
That
means
statements
are
going
in
the
mail
for
taxes
that
are
going
to
be
due
in
November,
and
there
were
some
interesting
figures
that
drops
now
that
we
have
the
parcel
information
for
the
City
of
Canton.
I
Some
things
that
I
found
interesting
were
that
we
have
10
600
residential
Parcels
in
the
City
of
Canton
of
those
just
five
thousand.
Eight
hundred
and
thirty
seven
are
eligible
to
receive
the
homeowners
tax
relief
grant.
That
means
that
55
percent
of
the
property
Residential
Properties
in
the
City
of
Canton
are
owner.
Occupied
of
those
that
are
owner,
occupied
seniors,
represent
54
percent
of
the
owner
occupied
properties.
I
If
you're
looking
at
all
residential
property
as
a
whole,
seniors
represent
just
30
percent
of
the
Residential
Properties
I
thought
that
was
important
to
know,
because
that
issue
comes
up
a
lot
in
discussions
and
another
issue
that
comes
up
in
discussions
too.
Sometimes
with
commercial
properties,
is
confusion,
sometimes
in
the
by
the
public,
on
whether
apartment
complexes
pay
City
of
Canton
property
tax
and
school
tax
and
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
you
know
I've
reviewed
the
2023
statement
for
one
of
our
top
10
taxpayers
in
the
City
of
Canton.
This
is
a
relatively
new
apartment.
I
I
C
G
C
Team
and
the
council
is
done
and
previous
Council,
the
mayor's
done
in
reducing
our
debt,
proud
of
the
work
we're
done
at
our
physical
management
of
our
citizens
finances.
So
any
questions
from
Miss,
Forster
I
know
she'll
be
up
again
later
this
evening,
so
you
have
another
opportunity.
So
thank
you.
G
Thank
you.
Over
the
last
several
years,
we've
spent
a
lot
of
money
in
upgrading
our
infrastructure,
and
we've
got
one
more
to
deal
with,
which
is
a
new
water
plan,
just
a
little
history.
This
is
a
picture
of
our
of
our
existing
plant.
G
Another
shot
of
it
in
the
background
you'll
see
those
seen
closely
those
three
walkways.
Those
are
our
new
flocculators
just
to
point
that
out,
but
a
little
history
portions
of
this
plant
were
constructed
in
the
20s
majority
of
it
was
in
the
in
1954.,
and
we
had
a
minor
upgrade
in
the
96,
and
it's
pretty
much
been
that
way
since
then,
and
it's
it's
rocking
along
and
and
putting
out
great
water.
G
We've
got
a
a
permit
capacity
to
put
out
into
our
system
of
five
and
a
half
million
gallons
a
day
and
where
you
know
almost
a
little
over
half
half
of
that
capacity.
Now
with
the
max,
you
know
a
little
over
four
and
then
looking
back
at
the
the
master
plan
projections
that
were
done
in
2018.
G
We
should
be,
you
know,
average
day
around
in
2040
about
5.6
million
gallons
a
day,
so
we
don't
want
to
be
in
the
situation.
We
were
with
the
Wastewater
Plant,
where
we're
scrambling
to
get
capacity
at
the
last
minute,
so
we're
we're
looking
to
do
a
new,
a
new
water
plant
in
the
8
to
10
million
gallon
per
day
capacity
with
ability
to
expand
in
the
future.
G
We
will
also
add
space
for
an
additional
process,
both
physical
space,
as
well
as
hydraulic
space
to
handle
pfas,
should
that
come
into
play
in
the
future,
we're
still
looking
at
a
conventional
plant,
which
is
the
process
that
we
have
now
thought
process
being.
We
would
put
it
on
the
currently
owned
property
by
the
city
up
near
the
reservoir.
G
We
would
use
the
reservoir
as
our
service
water
as
a
water
source
and
ultimately,
what
we
would
do,
I
guess
those
the
blue
lines,
don't
show
it
that
well,
but
we
would
tap
that
red
line
on
the
east
side
of
Bluffs
Parkway
and
run
it
North
to
the
new
site
for
to
feed
the
plant.
We
have
had
discussions
with
Cobb
Marriott
about
this
I.
G
Think
for
the
most
part,
they're
they're,
okay,
with
this
process,
we've
got
some
details
to
work
out
with
them,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
timeline
for
moving
forward
issuing
RFP
in
the
end
of
this
year
or
earlier.
If
need
be,
but
basically
get
everything
you
know
by
the
time
everything
is
done,
we'd
have
it
in
line
or
online.
You
know,
2029.
G
And
so
this
is
just
kind
of
a
an
informational
update
of
where
we're
headed
and
if
you've
got
any
questions,
thoughts
or
whatever.
Here,
for
you.
C
H
H
C
10-Minute
public
input.
We
have
10
minute
total
for
a
public
input.
Tonight
we
have
three
residents
signed
up
for
that
10
minutes,
beginning
with
Mr
Jim
lindemeyer.
If
you
please
come
forward
state
your
name
and
address
and
clearly
into
the
microphone,
please
welcome.
H
Jim
Linden
I'm,
a
m880
and
I,
represent
one
of
the
15
to
17
000
veterans
in
the
Cherokee
County,
which
is
the
sixth
largest
veteran
county
in
the
state.
Georgia
is
the
third
largest
veteran
community
in
the
state
number
one
for
female
veterans
today
we're
faced
with
the
biggest
crime
we
have
in
that
suicide.
Last
Friday
kicked
off
veteran
Suicide
Prevention
and
awareness
month,
and
the
state
with
Covenant
Governor
Kemp
has
put
out
a
program
in
support
of
the
national
samsa
program.
H
That's
for
the
governor
and
mayor's
challenge
to
support
and
back
the
veterans
of
the
state,
the
mental
health
we're
not
asking
for
money.
What
we're
asking
for
is
you
guys
to
join
that
be
one
of
the
first
on
board
with
that
program,
I've
created
a
briefing
document
for
you
that
you
can
read,
but
we
have.
We
got
a
750
000
Grant
from
VA
we're
the
only
county
in
the
state
of
Georgia
to
get
that
such
Grant
covering
Cherokee
and
Pickens,
and
yesterday
we
were
notified.
We
got
a
1.2
million
dollar
Grant
from
samsa.
H
We
went
live
with
cards
that
were
putting
on
a
community
that
will
direct
veterans
who
are
in
crisis
to
go
ahead
and
reach
out
we're
also
working
with
the
sheriff's
department,
co-response
team,
on
educating
them
on
how
to
handle
veteran
suicide,
and
the
whole
goal
here
is
to
get
therapists
and
therapy
capability
here
in
the
county
that
it
doesn't
exist
because
civilian
therapists
don't
really
know
how
to
handle
veteran
issues
when
it
comes
to
PTSD
and
combat
trauma.
So
what
we're?
We
have
a
tag
line
that
we've
also
got
out
here.
H
It's
it's
basically,
here's
you
know,
don't
struggle
Alone,
one
of
the
big
advantages
veterans.
They
think
they
can
do
it
on
their
own.
I
was
combat.
Arms
I
can
tell
you.
I
was
on
the
East
German
border
when
there
was
one-
and
we
saw
things
we
didn't
want
to
see
and
a
lot
of
the
guys
who've
come
out
in
Iraq
and
Afghanistan
still
have
that
problem
going
forward.
H
So
what
we've
got
is
posters
and
things
that
we're
paying
for
in
our
pocket
that
we
want
to
get
out
there
working
with
guys
with
you,
creating
a
steering
committee
that
we're
already
in
support
of
we're,
been
up
and
running
for
since
February
of
this
year
to
go
ahead
and
create
a
focus
around
Canton
and
the
Vets
here
you've
got
Stouts
you've
got
1010
contract
you've
got
Taylor
Construction,
all
those
are
better
known:
businesses,
along
with
Vietnam
veteran
things
like
American
Crane,
so
we're
in
here
we
live
amongst
you
just
that
we
have
to
be
treated.
H
We
need
to
help
ourselves
a
little
differently
than
than
what
you're
used
to
doing
so.
We
hope
that
you'll
reach
out
to
commissioner
Trisha
Ross
who's
head
of
the
Georgia
Department
of
Veterans
Services,
and
sign
up
as
one
of
the
first
cities
on
the
the
mayor's
challenge,
which
is
a
nationwide
program.
So
I'm
going
to
leave
this
to
you,
we're
more
than
happy
to
follow
back
up
with
you
and
again.
What
we're
looking
for
right
now
is.
H
This
we've
got
the
red
white
and
blue
barbecue
coming
up
the
end
of
October,
where
we're
bringing
we've
been
contacted,
we're
bringing
a
Food
Network
chef
coming
in
got
a
world
champion
coming
in
we've
got
State
Runner,
we've
got
the
Kingsford
runner-up
coming
into
the
program,
and
this
is
going
to
focus
around
veteran-owned
businesses
and
veterans
in
the
community,
as
well
as
things
that
we
can
do
to
help
veterans
overcome
mental
health,
which
today
isn't
22
a
day.
It's
two
to
four
times
that
number.
C
J
If
I
do
recall
correctly,
so
I
know
that
if
this
deep
proposal
and
title
I
guess
you
could
say
swap
is
approved
by
Council,
because
I
was
in
attendance,
this
past
Tuesday,
when
the
County
Board
of
Commissioners
approved
it
I
know
the
city
will
acquire
the
property
I,
don't
know
to
the
extent
of
how
those
non-profits
have
I
don't
know
what
their
architectural
plans
are
for.
Renovating
the
property
based
on
the
arpa
grants
that
they've
received
from
the
county.
J
Even
though
the
Tippin
school
is
scheduled
to
be
demolished,
I
know
that
to
be
true,
it
would
be
just
a
gym
and
a
treasure
I
think
if
the
city
could
could
somehow
save
that
property,
maybe
maybe
not
I,
don't
know
what
the
architectural
plans
are
through
the
nonprofits
again,
but
it's
just
a
mask.
If
that
should
be
the
will
Council
and
how
Council
chooses
to
vote
later.
This
meeting.
K
Good
evening
evening,
I'm
a
homeowner
here
in
Canton
and
my
family
and
I
rely
on
very
modest
rental
income
from
our
home
to
meet
the
needs
different
family.
So
in
reference
to
the
new
business
ordinance
11c
that
you'll
be
talking
about
later
this
afternoon.
That's
in
regard
to
short-term
rentals
I
really
wanted
to
thank
the
committee.
Thank
you,
Mr
Grant,
for
initiating
the
committee
to
explore
this
issue.
Special
I
want
to
offer
a
sincere
thanks
to
the
community
members
who
drafted
this.
Of
course,
Mr
Dyer
as
well,
for
for
working
on
it.
K
I've
shared
a
few
specific
points
of
feedback
to
members
of
the
community
by
email.
Thank
you
for
considering
that
my
wife
and
I
wanted
to
support
this
effort,
and
we
understand
the
hard
work
that
you
do
on
behalf
of
our
community.
We
really
want
to
partner
with
you,
if
possible,
to
ex
to
support
this
initiative
in
the
future.
So
once
again,
I
wanted
to
thank
you
very
much.
L
Good
evening
Mr
Mayor
members
of
council,
as
you
recall,
in
the
very
recent
past,
this
body
approved
the
growth
boundary
agreement
map
and
memorandum
of
understanding.
It
was
our
impression
from
the
county
that
they
documents
that
they
provided
us
was
the
of
the
final
document
once
it
was
signed
and
approved,
and
we
forwarded
it
to
the
county.
They
seem
to
be
taken
aback
a
little
bit
like
wait
a
minute.
L
We
wanted
some
additional
discussion,
so
they
contacted
us
and
recently
mayor
Grant,
Mr,
Peppers,
Mr,
Ingram
and
myself
met
with
the
county
officials,
which
included
a
Brantley
day,
commissioner
Johnston
and
discussed
numerous
aspects
of
the
growth
boundary
agreement
and
it
kind
of
boiled
down
to
that.
They
were
in
agreement
to
add
the
property
on
the
south
side
of
highway
5..
L
There
was
discussion
on
Canton
West,
they
I
won't,
say
we're
insistent,
but
would
have
liked
for
the
city
to
have
relinquished
that
portion
out
of
the
growth
boundary.
Both
mayor,
Grant
and
Mr
peppers
were
pretty
insistent
that
that
area
stayed
within
the
agreement.
L
L
L
Let's
see-
and
there
was
also
some
discussion
during
that
meeting
of
the
property
that
the
county
may
be
purchasing
from
the
Cherokee
County
Water
and
Sewer
Authority,
and
if
they
ever
decide
to
sell
that
they
were
going
to
Grant
the
city,
the
rights
of
first
refusal,
you
have
a
copy
of
the
growth
boundary,
updated
agreement,
the
memorandum
of
understanding
and
the
map
that
is
exhibited.
That
shows
what
the
county
I
believe
has
agreed
to
are
providing
us.
L
And
if
you
have
any
questions
about
that,
you
know
certainly
I'll
be
glad
to
try
to
answer
them.
I,
don't
think
that
there
was
anything
outstandingly
different.
That
would
be
a
a
problem
between
the
city
and
county.
Basically,
the
memorandum
of
understanding
is
a
pathway
for
discussion
and
communication.
If
someone
wants
to
Annex
property
or
rezone
property
within
or
adjacent
to
the
growth
boundary
agreement.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
Green
appreciate
that
update.
We
did.
Of
course
the
council
has
had
discussed
that
we
received
the
documents
from
the
county.
We
discussed
it
and
voted
on
that
based
on
the
intentions
and
discussions
that
were
sent
to
us
in
the
documents
from
the
county.
Originally,
of
course,
as
we
all
know
that
the
City
of
Canton,
when
this
process
started,
was
the
only
city
in
the
county
that
that
had
an
existing
growth
boundary
agreement
with
with
the
county,
it's
in
place
and
I.
Think
through
2050
is
that
correct.
L
C
I
believe
2054
so
and
just.
L
C
So
we
had
one
that
you
know
was
was
like
it's
in
perpetuity
so
and
I
think
we
we
all
agreed
I,
think
when
the
conversation
started,
that
that
certainly
the
process
communication
could
be
improved,
and
certainly
we
were
all
in
agreement
that
the
process
could
be
better,
and
that
was
certainly
motivation
for
the
city
to
to
work
with
with
the
county.
There
I
think
we've
stayed
repeatedly
to
the
county
that
I
think
the
city
Canton
I,
think
it's
somewhat
different
than
the
other
cities
is.
Our
goal
is
not
always
on
growing.
C
Our
footprint
rapidly
is
it's
it's.
It's
growing
the
quality
of
our
our
city,
and
certainly
we've
expressed
and
I've,
expressed
it
to
Chairman
Johnson
on
many
occasions
that
that
our
interest
would
probably
be
on
more
incorporating
the
unincorporated
Islands
into
the
city
than
expanding
outside
our
our
currently
growth
boundary
agreement,
and
so
we're
happy
to
see
that
they
they
are
interested
in
in
working
with
us
on
that
and
had
Incorporated
that
into
their
agreement,
with
Woodstock
and
and
and
I.
Believe.
C
If
correct
me,
Mr
beverson
are
wrong
that,
regardless
of
what
we
decided
on
the
new
growth
Bounty
agreement,
whether
we
proceed
with
this
revised
version
or
keep
the
one
we
have
that
they
want
to
offer
that
to
us
regardless,
but
I
feel
on
the
The
Canton
West
issue.
C
You
know
the
growth
boundary
agreement
is
really
kind
of
just
to
Define
our
intentions
of
how
we
grow
and
how
we
Annex.
If
projects
come
in
and
how
that
has
communicated
and
to
talk
about
how
a
a
potential
project
or
Parcels
May
develop.
You
know,
hypothetically
seems
a
little
bit
out
of
place
as
part
of
the
growth
Bounty
agreement
and
assuming
that
it
might
develop
as
a
residential
it.
It's
not
growth.
Value
Agreements
are
not
intended
to
discuss
zoning
or
or
Master
plans
or
those
those
Natures.
C
So
again,
I
think
we,
the
one
we
sent
was,
was
very
thoughtful
and
intentional.
It's
certainly
up
to
council
what
we
want
to
how
we
want
to
proceed
with
this.
H
C
Know
revised
version
back
from
the
from
the
county.
Again,
it's
not
that
significantly
different
I
believe
Mr
Dyer.
You
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
or
or
not,
but
some
stipulation
or
condition
in
there,
that
we
would
agree
in
that
area
to
to
only
allow
one
residential
unit
per
acre,
I,
don't
think,
could
be
enforced
through
a
growth
boundary
agreement
or
not,
but
it
I
don't
know
growth
mounting
agreement
in
certain
I
guess.
Political
conversations
seem
to
be
not.
C
Kind
of
appropriateness
in
conversation
there,
but
I
think
we
have
the
option
to
discussing.
If
we're.
Okay
with
that
Mr
dargan,
you
can
weigh
in
whether
that
could
be
enforced
or
not.
I,
don't
know
again
we're
assuming
that
that
currently,
what
the
the
County
Commission
wants
now
and
what
County
Commissioners
may
want
five
or
ten
years
from
now,
you
know
is
going
to
be
the
same
also
is
is,
is
I,
think
you
know
being
a
little
presumptuous
as
well,
but
I,
don't
know
it
just
seems
a
little
unproductive
at
this
point,
but
a.
E
The
idea
is:
if
the
city
is
going
to
provide
water
and
sewer
service,
they
should
have
the
opportunity
to
grow
to
that
boundary,
and
so
I
made
that
very
clear
that
you
know
it's
not
just
that.
We
would
want
to
grow
out
that
way,
we're
we're
charged
with
providing
service
out
that
way.
So
we
should
be
involved
in
the
discussion
of
how
that
development
takes
place.
E
The
county
is
working
with
the
County
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
right
now
on
on
trying
to
purchase
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
property.
That's
in
that
area,
that's
640,
acres
and
part
of
the
reason
for
that
is.
Is
it
cuts
off
some
connectivity
with
Canton
West
the
problem
that
I
see
as
as
your
staff
is
that
today's
County
commission
may
have
no
plans
on
that
acreage,
but
the
County
Commission
in
years
from
now
could
decide
that
they
want
it
to
be
built
out
in
a
certain
way.
I.
E
Try
to
remind
the
commission
chairman
at
that
meeting
with
the
two
largest
developments
in
Cherokee
County,
Town,
Lake
and
Bridge
Mill
were
both
zoned
and
built
in
unincorporated,
Cherokee,
County
and
approved
by
the
commission.
They
were
not
approved
by
cities,
and
so
the
idea
that
we
would
give
up
a
large
tract
of
land.
That's
in
our
current
growth
boundary,
where
we
have
water
and
sewer
service
for
the
county
to
make
the
decisions
on
what
could
develop
there.
E
My
suggestion
to
council
would
be
that
you
know
it's
difficult
for
us
to
say
what
we
would
want
to
hold
a
development
to,
as
it
relates
to
a
number
of
units
per
acre
when
one
we
can't
really
control
what
the
county
wants
to
do
with
the
property
that
they're
acquiring
I
mean.
You
know,
part
of
the
reason
why
I
had
pushed
the
council
in
considering
that
area
along
Old
Ball
Ground
Highway,
is
what
the
county
approved
out.
There
was
Zero
lot
line
residential
and
it's
all
rental.
E
It
is
a
very
dense
neighborhood
that
they've
approved
in
an
unincorporated
area.
What
would
stop
a
future
accounting
commission
from
doing
that
on
that
640
acres
or
Canton
West?
We
have
Incorporated
islands
in
the
city,
south
of
Butterworth
and
univeter,
where
the
county
approved
townhome
development
that
we
probably
would
not
have
approved
if
it
had
been
in
the
city
limits
and
it's
much
denser
than
one
unit
per
acre,
but
the
county
approved
that
and
so
keeping
as
much
of
that
territory.
E
E
I
do
like
the
idea
that
the
that
the
county
would
want
to
work
with
us
on
that
incorporated
Island
as
I
said
those
two
town
home
developments
that
are
south
of
Butterworth
and
univeter.
They
did
not
work
with
us
on
and
allowed
that
to
go
in,
even
though
they
use
City
roadways,
City,
Water
city
sewer.
To
that
extent,
so
that's
a
good
provision.
E
That's
in
there
you
know
I'm,
not
as
concerned
about
email,
communication
and
and
having
one
email
address
to
send
everything
to
I
am
more
concerned
about
the
fact
that
sometimes
we
don't
hear
about
the
cases
that
the
county
has
going
I
know
we
send
notification
I,
don't
know
that
we
always
get
notification
from
them.
So
if
communication
is
part
of
it,
that's
great.
The
reason
why
the
old
agreement
lasts,
as
long
as
it
does
is
because
the
state
of
Georgia
will
allow
two
governmental
bodies
to
contract
for
a
maximum
of
50
years.
E
C
M
So,
generally,
an
agreement
limiting
the
city
council's
ability
to
regulate
property
in
the
future
would
be
unenforceable,
because
one
Council
can't
bind
future
councils
on
that,
something
that
they
would
otherwise
have
discretion
on
I.
Don't
think
that
an
intergovernmental
agreement
would
change
that.
H
M
M
You
sort
of
flip
it,
which
is
if
we
do
what
you
want.
That
means
you're
not
going
to
object
to
our
annexation
and
rezoning
and
and
if
we're
going
to
start
talking
about
that,
we
would
want
I
think
to
talk
to
them
about
well,
if
you're
going
to
approve
these
things
around
us,
what
what
are
those
limitations
going
to
be
and
they
have
not
had
it
expressed
much
interest
in
having
those
discussions
to
my
knowledge
so
I,
don't
you
know
if
it's
in
there?
C
Thoughts
are,
is
you
know
if
we're
gonna
have
a
growth,
New
Growth
Bounty
agreement
must
have
a
clean
growth
boundary
agreement
not
again
getting
into
land
use.
If
you
want
to
have
land
use
conversations,
I
mean,
in
my
opinion,
we
have
existing
growth
around
here
boundary
agreement.
You
know
we
have
time
to
talk
about
that
and
getting
those
that
we
have
how
many
more
years
left
on
the
current
one.
C
C
Without
a
formal
agreement
to
do
it
so
I
I,
just
don't
see
it
as
very
productive
or
you
know
relevant
really
so
again,
it's
up
to
up
to
council,
but
again,
I,
don't
know
that
there
is
a
real,
binding
timeline
for
that.
We
can
share
this
feedback
with
them
and
you
know
they
can
side.
I
know
they
they
would
like
to
have
everyone
have
new
growth,
Bounty
agreements,
but
again
we
have
one
so.
E
E
It's
an
it's
always
an
odd
situation
for
staff
when
we
get
called
into
a
meeting
with
with
their
staff
and
a
minority
of
the
commission,
because
we
don't
know
if
they're
speaking
for
the
full
commission
right.
E
D
I
liked
Mr
Green's
description
of
the
growth
boundary
boundary
agreement
as
they
as
a
pathway.
It's
not
it's
not
a
binding
agreement.
It's
something
we
can
look
to
to
adjust
as
we
go
forward.
So
it's
not
since
it's
not
binding,
I
I
really
think
we
just
look
at
it
as
a
pathway
to
how
we
plan
for
the
future
so
I'll
see.
Do
we
need
to
meet
again
about
it
or
those
email
addresses
and
things
can't
the
staff
just
handle
that
what
would
what
would
a
meeting
between
us
and
the
commissioners.
D
E
The
whole
discussion
about
canton's
growth,
boundary
agreement
stems
from
the
fact
that
there
were
lawsuits
with
the
other
cities
on
their
growth.
Immunization,
there
hasn't
been
a
lawsuit
with
the
City
of
Canton,
and
the
desire
on
the
staff
side
from
the
county
was
to
have
the
same
agreement
for
everyone,
so
it
was
clear
to
everyone
how
they
would
operate.
F
E
F
Like
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
confuses
people,
it's
confusing
that
those
that
those
two
pockets
of
Townhomes
are
in
the
county
like
it
doesn't
make
any
sense.
It
doesn't
make
any
sense
right
outside
River
green,
that
the
gas
station
that's
going
up
is
the
county
and
the
far
corner
on
the
left
is
the
county
and
so
I
think
that,
like
politics
aside-
and
it
feels
like
SDS
post-traumatic
stress
disorder,
this
whole
conversation.
But
that
is
the
thing.
F
E
The
the
interesting
thing
about
that
whole
deal
of
unincorporated
Islands
was
it
never
got
brought
up
by
the
commission.
It
was
a
staff
person
that
said,
oh
did
we
not
put
that
in
the
agreement?
That's
in
the
agreements
with
the
other
cities,
and
it's
like
you
drafted
the
agreement
to
make
it
like
the
other
cities
and
then
decided
not
to
send
certain
languages.
E
You
know
one
of
the
things
Mr
Dire
and
I
was
just
talking
about.
You
could
approve
what
they
sent
over
and
just
remove
the
part
about
the
the
land
use
from
Canton
West
about
the
zoning
and
all
that
that
keeps
everything
the
same
way.
It
was.
It
deals
with
the
communication
and
it
also
deals
with
the
unincorporated
Islands,
but
we're
saying
we
don't
agree
to
restricting
future
development
based
off
of
an
arbitrary
figure
that
nobody
knows
where
it
came
from.
If.
M
N
Mr,
dark
I'm,
assuming
when
we
received
it
and
signed
it
it
had
not
already
been
signed
by
the
county.
Is
that
correct,
yeah
I
think
that's
right,
I
have
to
execute
it
on
their
end.
Okay,
they.
M
Have
not
approved,
apparently
they
didn't
approve
it
before
they
sent
it
to
us.
We
approved
it
first,
which
I
think
is
the
way
they
like
to
operate
so
I
mean
one
option
you
would
have
if
the
one
acre
thing
is
the
only
thing
that
you
really
have
a
problem
with,
you
could
tonight
move
to
adopt
the
agreement
absent
that
provision,
and
at
least
you
would
be
moving
the
moving
it
along
a
little
bit.
C
And
we
were
told
in
the
meeting
that
they
would
include
the
unincorporated
islands,
that
was
their
oversight
and,
and
that
would
not
they
were
not
going
to
be
using
that
as
a
negotiation
tool.
Basically,
but
I
I
would
be
that
it
to
me
is
the
most
a
more
important
issue
than
than
land
use,
but
but
I'm
happy
to
do
that
unless
staff
sees
another
issue
with
anything
else
in
the
revised
agreement,
so
I,
don't
Mr
Green
record
in
your
memo.
I,
don't
think
you
saw
anything
but
or
Mr
peppers.
C
E
And
you
don't
have
to
decide
if
you
want
I,
don't
mind
to
reach
out
to
the
county
manager
tomorrow
and
say
you
know
they
like
pretty
much
everything
that
was
added
in
there.
They
don't
really
understand
why
we
would
limit
one
unit,
an
acre
on
something
that
there
have
been
no
plans
turned
in
on
you
know,
you're.
It
just
makes
no
sense
right
right.
C
M
B
Minus
luxury
estate
homes
in
our
city-
and
that
seems
like
a
nice
place
to
do
that.
Heavily
wooded,
not
Disturbed,
much
nature
and
take
a
look
at
that
opportunity.
C
C
But
in
concept
I
mean
you're,
you're,
correct
there,
so
I
agree.
Okay,
I
would
just
just
follow
up
with
with
the
county
manager
and
let's
go
from
there,
but
I
think
appreciate
feedback
from
Council.
So
thank
you.
Mr
Green,
honor,
B,
discussion
of
updated
zoning
categories
and
other
proposed
unified
development
code.
Amendments.
L
This
item
pertains
to
the
updating
of
the
code
of
ordinances
and
elimination
of
some
of
the
zoning
districts.
Mr
Tolman
had
asked
for
some
type
of
explanation
as
to
what
what
happened.
Hopefully,
memo
explained
how
that
would
take
place
with
elimination
of
some
of
the
zoning
districts
and
combining
others
such
as
getting
rid
of
the
neighborhood
commercial,
which
is
in
C,
making
those
all
General
commercial
doing
away
with
all
of
the
r
districts,
except
for
one
which
would
allow
developers
the
ability
to
develop
property
as
a
permitted
right.
L
L
L
L
One
is
chapter
105.03
border
Zone
Appeals,
and
this
is
simply
a
housekeeping
thing
to
change
all
the
references
to
the
Border
zoning
appeals
and
have
them
just
simply
reference
the
board
of
appeals
in
the
CBD
district
change
town
homes
from
a
permitted
use
to
a
conditional
use.
That's
town
homes
are
typically
three
or
more
units
which
requires
a
conditional
use.
Approval
in
the
cottage
housing
district,
104.05
add
to
Central
business
district
to
a
zoning
District
where
this
type
of
development
is
allowed
now
currently
for
subdivisions,
we
do
not
have
a
parking
requirement
for
amenity
areas.
L
L
This
would
require
updating,
table
102-4
the
land
use
table
and
if
there
are
certain
standards
that
the
council
would
like
to
see
placed
on
these
type
of
establishments,
that
would
require
amending
a
chapter,
104
specific
use
requirements
in
just
a
day.
Another
issue
come
up
about
subdividing
parcels
and
having
them
to
have
a
required
50-foot
Frontage
on
a
public
or
private
road.
L
This
may
be
discussed
a
little
bit
later,
but
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
the
unified
development
code
is,
as
you
can
imagine,
is,
is
not
a
static,
a
document
there's
it's
pretty
fluid.
We
see
things
quite
often
that
need
to
be
added
or
changed
or
repaired
for
lack
of
a
better
word.
So
that's
where
we
are
on
those,
hopefully
very
soon,
you'll
see
a
ordinance,
especially
for
the
breweries
and
distilleries
being
allowed
in
the
CBD
district
and
allied
industrial.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Green
I
appreciate
that
information
and
update.
So
this
is
I
know.
There's
a
lot
to
think
about
here
and
I
know
it's
a
kind
of
work
in
progress.
So
what
do
you
see
kind
of
the
overall
timeline
for
accomplishing
this
and
kind
of
the
next
steps?
I
know
you
talked
about
the
ordinance
for
breweries
and
distilleries,
but
what's
the
process
here
timeline
next
steps,
I
mean
how
do
we
proceed
here?
H
C
Citizens,
so
they
understand
that
what
we're
doing
why
we're
doing
it
I
mean
the
goal
is
to
simplify,
simplify
simplification
is
complex
at
times,
so
how
we,
how
we're
proceeding
here
on.
L
E
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
peel
off
the
pieces
that
we
think
we
can
move
the
fastest
on
based
on
the
least
amount
of
work
to
the
code
when
we
start
dealing
with
rezoning
of
of
properties
or
collapsing
things,
there's
a
there's
a
lot
of
individual
sections
of
the
code
that
we're
having
to
look
through
and
make
sure.
Okay.
E
If
we
make
a
change
here,
acted
somewhere
else
in
the
code
really
and
truly
what's
important
for
Mr
Green
is
knowing
that
you
know
that
Council
as
a
whole
is
supportive
of
looking
at
collapsing
some
of
those
zoning
categories
so
that
he
can
start
the
work
of
figuring
out
what
that
code.
Amendment
is
actually
going
to
look
like
as
an
ordinance,
so
he
can
bring
it
back
to
you
and
you
can
have
the
public
hearing
and
all
that
associated
with
it.
C
C
It's
again
getting
to
that
that
this
is
going
to
take
some
time
and
effort,
and
it's
going
to
be
ongoing
for
a
while
and
you'll
bring
bring
it
back
to
us
in
parts
and
pieces
and
and
different
ordinances
that
we'll
be
considering
on
different
uses
and
as
as
they're
ready.
C
Think
we
have
all
discussed
at
this
point
that
we
are
in
favor
of
classroom
code
and
simplifying
it
and
I
think
in
the
the
basic
direction
that
we're
heading
as
far
as
the
zoning
and
clarifying
some
of
those
things,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you're
getting
the
feedback
that
you
need
it
right.
Okay,.
N
Okay,
I
want
I,
guess,
I
do
have
one
comment
and
not
to
beat
this
dead
horse
too
much,
but
I
think
for
the
benefit
of
the
public.
Once
we
kind
of
distill
some
of
this
information,
it
would
be
very
helpful
if
we
could
have
perhaps
Lauren
and
her
team
put
a
graphic
together
that
helps
people
understand
that
don't
deal
with
this
kind
of
stuff
every
day,
more
of
what
we're
exactly
what
we're
talking
about
what
the
changes
are
so
Mr,
Green
I,
wouldn't
expect
you
to
do
that.
N
C
One
other
question
in
your
memo:
I
wanted
to
ask
Mr
Green
I
know
some
that
that,
in
the
process
there
have
been
some
errors,
noted
and
discovered
in
the
zoning
map
and
there's
some
question
about
sort
of
how
how
those
are
corrected
and
if
it
was,
we
do
it
at
one
time
or
if
there
were
through
staff
and
again
those
we
don't
go
into
a
lot
of
detail
there,
but
it
just
based
on
past
experience
and
years
ago,
when
we
had
some
issues
with
some
zoning
map
here
on
East
Main
Street,
and
it
caused
a
big
controversy
and
a
year-long
battle
to
to
kind
of
keep
that
area
residential
I'm
hypersensitive.
C
To
that,
and
it's
just
something
that
again
I,
don't
know
the
nature
of
it.
But
my
my
concern
is
that
that
that
zoning
map
errors
are
corrected
sooner
rather
than
later,
but
before
they
cause
issues
or
someone
discovers
them
that
that
may
want
to
to
do
something
with
them
that
we
wouldn't
want
them
to
do
with
them.
But
but
again,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
question
that
and
ask
well.
L
That
would
be
the
easiest
point.
Of
course,
that's
a
that's
a
question
for
Mr
Dyer.
We
have
a
development
going
in
off
Bells
Ferry.
That
was
the
result
of
a
consent
order
and
in
reviewing
those
plans
this
afternoon,
I
discovered
that
part
of
the
property
that
was
annexed,
I
believe
it
was
2005,
has
never
been
shown
on
our
zoning
map.
So
that's
another
one.
Several
of
the
errors
that
occurred
when
Mr
Patton
gave
his
map
to
our
previous
GIS
team.
L
E
We
have
a
couple
of
examples
where
Parcels
are
zoned,
multiple
things
where
there's
not
a
clear
line
right,
it's
one
parcel,
but
it
shows
as
two
different
zonings
part
way
through
the
parcel,
which
doesn't
make
sense
to
the
to
the
public
and
back
to
what
Mr
Tolan
was
was
mentioning.
You
know
when,
when
a
citizen
hears
that
this
is
going
to
be
retail,
they
don't
necessarily
know
the
difference
between
office,
residential
transition
office,
industrial
General,.
H
E
C
M
As
part
of
this
process
adopt
a
new
map,
so
we
would
fix
anything
on
the
map
that
way
there
are.
There
are
some
things
that
I
think
the
idea
of
administratively
just
changing
the
map
is.
There
are
some
that
are
just
so
obviously
wrong
and
that's
what
we
would
only
be
doing
those
otherwise
we'll
just
wait
and
do
it
when
we
adopt
the
new
map
with
the
changes
right.
E
Right,
and
that
would
be
our
recommendation-
that
it's
all
done
at
the
same
time.
M
And
it's
we've
probably
gone
too
long
without
adopting
the
map
again,
we
need
to
do
it
regularly,
certainly
just
so,
you
don't
end
up
with
these
errors
out
there
kind
of
lingering
for
a
while.
Certainly.
C
I
mean
I
think
it's
like
I
mean
we
had
the
same
issue
with
our
Charter
and
our
ordinances
and
we've
gone
through
that
process.
We're
going
through
this
now
so
I
appreciate
the
great
work
and
and
the
discovery
process,
and
so
look
forward
to
getting
that
correct
and
updated
the
way
it
needs
to
be
so.
Thank
you.
E
In
the
spring,
the
city
council
voted
to
go
under
contract
with
horowath
htl,
to
do
a
market
analysis
for
hotel
conference
space
up
at
the
reservoir
on
property
that
the
city
owns.
That
study
was
completed
and
we
asked
Horwath
to
tell
us
what
the
next
steps
would
be
for
that
particular
side,
and
so
they
have
provided
what's
in
your
agenda
packet
tonight.
E
If
they're
looking
at
this
area
for
a
particular
flag
of
of
a
product
after
they
receive
that
feedback
from
the
brand,
then
they
would
put
together
a
proposal
process
and
go
out
to
the
development
Market
to
secure
proposals
from
developers
and
then
they
would
bring
those
back
in
and
rate
those
proposals
based
upon.
You
know
what
what's
being
proposed,
what
incentives
those
proposals
might
be
looking
for
on
the
land
cost
or
on
anything
from
the
city
staff,
would
recommend
working
with
Horwath
to
let
them
do
that
process
since
that's
their
their
business
model.
E
I
bring
this
to
you,
because
we
also
have
a
hotel
study
that
was
just
done
on
the
downtown
area
by
Horwath
for
the
Downtown
Development
Authority.
The
reason
I
bring
this
to
you
is
the
cost
of
the
additional
work
is
between
fifteen
and
twenty
thousand
dollars.
It's
all
built
into
our
hotel
tax.
So
that's
a
that's.
A
a
reasonable
use
of
that
tax,
because
you're
building
market
for
promoting
tourism
conventions
and
trade
shows
the
timeline
is
about
14
weeks.
The
question
back
from
the
consultant
is:
do
you
want?
E
Do
you
want
one
site
being
handled
first?
Do
you
want
them
done
simultaneously,
I
think
when
staff
was
looking
at
it,
you
know
the
Downtown
Development
Authority
paid
for
the
study
downtown.
You
know
if
Council
wants
to
move
forward
with
with
the
one
on
the
reservoir
and
also
thinks
it's
a
great
idea
for
the
one
on
downtown
to
work.
We
can
notify
the
DDA
and
say,
hey,
Council,
think
it
thinks
it's
a
good
idea
for
you
to
move
forward
with
yours
as
well.
It
didn't
seem
like
from
the
consultant.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
peppers,
I.
Think
the
the
good
news
is
that
the
feasibility
studies
you
know
demonstrated
that
both
both
are
very
feasible
and
attractive,
and
my
my
personal
thoughts
on
it
that
I
don't,
if
we're
going
to
do
it,
we
might
as
well
have
them
look
at
both
at
the
same
time,
Market
both
at
the
same
time
and
a
lot
of
the
hotel,
Brands
and
flags
have
the
different
products.
You
know
whether
it's
a
resort
product
on
Lake
Canton
or
a
downtown
Boutique
Hotel
property.
They
have
those
multiple
Brands.
C
It
may
be
that
one
one
hotel
brand
has
products
that
might
be
more
economically
feasible
or
interesting
for
them
to
invest
in
in
both
locations,
but
I'm,
not
sure
I'm
sure
that
they
could.
You
know,
look
at
that
for
us,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
we're
losing
anything.
We
like
prioritize
one
over
the
other
ones,
but
that's
personal
opinions.
I,
don't
know
what
council
feels,
but
I
know
it's
going
to
be
a
long
process
either
way,
but
from
what
I
heard
from
Council
everyone's,
you
know
interested
in
pursuing
both
and
hearing
both,
but.
C
F
I
agree:
I
think
that
this
Council
decided
way
back
in
2020
and
2021
that
the
direction
we
wanted
to
go
was
tourism
and
economic
development
and
I.
Think
this
is,
you
know
the
best
case
scenario
of
what
could
come
from
a
an
effective
program
like
that
and
also
as
the
person
who
sits
on
the
DDA
I'm
no
well,
what
horowath
has
brought
to
the
table
for
the
boutique
hotel
feasibility
study
and
it's
really
exciting.
It's
something.
That's
you
know
been
a
part
of
our
roadmap,
it's
something
that
our
residents
have
said.
E
And
I
would
just
note
on
the
process
that,
because
I
had
this
question
come
up
about
why
they
would
go
to
the
brands
first.
Well,
part
of
the
reason
for
that
is
if
we
did
a
traditional
proposal
process
where
we
asked
developers
to
come
to
us
and
tell
us
what
they
would
build
there,
they
might
not
build
something
that
a
brand
would
support,
and
so,
if
the
idea
is
that
we
need
a
flag
to
really
support
that
product
over
time,
we
want
to
know
that
the
flag
has
an
interest
in
the
market.
E
First,
before
a
developer
goes
out
to
start
designing
a
product,
so
the
benefit
of
their
process
is
getting
that
brand
buy-in
first
from
two
three
four
different
brands,
and
then
them
going
out
and
finding
developers
who
have
built
that
type
of
product
or
who
have
experience
in
building
that
type
of
product
to
then
put
pencil
to
paper
and
come
up
with
what
they
think
they
could
do
as
part
of
a
proposal.
And,
ultimately,
you
get
to
decide
which
of
those
proposals
you
would
want
to
move
forward
with
as
part
of
a
development
agreement.
F
And
I
think
it's
just
important
to
reiterate.
You
know
we're
not
the
expert
expert
I'm,
not
I've,
never
built
a
hotel,
but
we've
studied
and
visited
plenty
of
Arts
based
and
tourism-based
cities
similar
to
Canton,
like
the
incredible
work
that
Thomasville
has
done
in
the
middle
of
nowhere
and
so
to
see
what
they've
done
with
a
hotel
in
their
downtown
is
just
remarkable,
so
I
think
yeah.
We
definitely
want
to
use
a
process
that
has
been
proven
to
work
and
be
successful
for
other
cities.
C
I
agree
and
I
think
the
point
Mr
pepper.
You
said
that
we
we
decide
proposals
we
want
to
accept
I,
think
that's
important,
critical
Factor,
because
we're
not
just
looking
at
any
hotel
on
on
the
lake
or
any
hotel
in
in
the
downtown
Corridor
we're
looking
for
the
best
quality
possible
and
the
the
highest
hotel
brand
flag
possible,
and
we
believe
that
I
think
based
on
the
interest
that
they
found,
that
that
we
can
get
a
very,
very
nice
and
attractive
product.
C
N
Channel,
just
one
quick
comment:
it
just
seems
in
thinking
is
through
that
kind
of
a
simultaneous
analysis
might
be
a
good
thing.
We
might,
they
might
discover
things
during
that
process.
They
might
not
otherwise
discover
so
I
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
do
a
simultaneous
analysis,
both
downtown
and
and
up
at
Lake
Canton.
C
I
know
Miss
Forster
is
going
to
talk
about
the
budget
amendments
later,
but
but
I
know
that
the
hotel,
motel
taxes
came
in
higher
too
so.
I
know
that
and.
F
Your
comments
just
in
case
it's
not
clear
by
the
label,
hotel
motel
tax,
those
are
taxes
that
visitors
to
our
town
who
stay
in
our
hotels
and
hotels,
pay,
and
then
they
leave
and
go
back
home.
So
when
people
freak
out
about
money.
Yes,
it's
sorry,
it's
guests!
It's
people,
we're
attracting
to
our
town.
C
E
I
think
what
we
would
want
to
do
is
bring
back
and
engage
phase
for
you
to
approve
and
and
that
that'll
give
them
some
time
to
schedule
that
the
Downtown
Development
Authority
has
a
board
meeting
next
week.
So
we
can
work
with
them
on
the
same
on
the
same
thing
and
try
to
you
know
and
try
to
get
them
started
on
both
products,
probably
by
the
end
of
the
month.
Your
next
council
meeting
be
on
the
28th.
So,
okay.
O
Thank
you,
mayor
council
I'm,
not
here
tonight,
seeking
action.
Just
discussion
answer
any
questions
that
you
all
may
have
on:
May
15th
staff
put
out
a
proposal
or
RFP
for
proposal
for
a
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan
on
June
29th.
We
received
seven
proposals.
At
that
time
we
created
a
committee
made
up
of
staff
to
review
and
grade
each
proposal
from
that
process.
Staff
narrowed
down
the
seven
to
a
four
and
at
that
time
conducted
in-person
interviews
with
the
top
four
candidates.
B
O
Basically,
what
they'll
be
doing
is
doing
a
lot
of
community
outreach.
The
majority
of
it
will
be
getting
information
from
different
parts
of
the
community.
Part
of
our
reasoning
behind
choosing
them
was
their
the
way
of
going
about
community
outreach.
We
felt
like
they
would
get
the
most
numbers.
The
most
data
for
us
to
you
know,
compile
the
things
we
want
to
do
for
the
next
five
to
ten
years.
With
that
also
being
said,
some
of
the
things
that
they
do
is
they
assess
our
current
assets.
O
O
A
In
question
you
you
mentioned
mentioned
asset
review,
so
they
would
do
that
for
us
and
potentially
their
findings
could
make
their
way
into
future
budgets
right
correct.
So
what
is
the?
How
do
you
do
that
now?
Because
do
you
use
a
third
party
now
or
do
you
it's
self-assessment?
We.
O
N
Maybe
this
is
for
Mr
Peppers,
so
thinking
down
the
road
a
bit
when
this
master
plan
is
developed
and-
and
we
have
a-
we-
have
a
plan
in
place.
Those
spots
dollars
for
the
Public's
benefit,
Mr
Peppers
need
to
be
encumbered
or
spent
by
when.
E
With
splice,
there's
not
a
there's,
not
a
spent
by
date,
but
we
will
not
start
collecting
next
floss
until
late
next
summer,
and
so
that
that
time
frame
we
were
looking
at
was
getting
this
master
plan
done,
so
that
it
could
inform
the
expenses
for
that
next
round
of
splost,
we
have
a
little
over
22
million
dollars
in
the
next
floss
for
Parks
and
Recreation.
If
all
the
sales
taxes
come
in
as
projected,
and
so
this
would
help
with
those
projects.
E
And
this,
as
you
know,
we
get
you
know,
we
get
comments
and
phone
calls
well.
It'd,
be
nice
to
see
this
and
it'd
be
nice
to
see
this
and
I
wish.
You
had
this
well
before
the
city
goes
and
spends
a
million
dollars
to
build
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
that's
something
that
more
than
a
handful
of
people
want
to
see.
You
know
that
that
the
public
really
does
have
a
desire
for
that,
and
so
that
public
input
is
critical
and
you
know
it
will.
E
It
will
also
help
tell
us
things
like
what
people
enjoy
about
our
current
Park
system
or
what
they
would
like
to
see
changed
in
our
current
Park
system.
Not
all
of
that
is
necessarily
something
we
have
to
wait
five
years
on
splice
dollars
to
fix,
or
you
know
some
of
it
may
inform
How
We
Do
impact
fees
in
the
future,
because
it
may
be
that
we
need
to
acquire
additional
property
to
be
able
to
make
that
use
happen.
E
For
example,
if
the
public
said
you
know,
we
think
the
city
should
have
a
brand
new
baseball
complex.
Well,
we
don't
currently
have
any
Parkland
that
we
own,
where
we
could
just
build
a
complex
that
would
require
impact
fees
and
planning,
and
things
like
that,
so
it's
good
information
for
us.
Thank
you.
C
I
So,
starting
with
the
general
fund,
I
wanted
to
address
two
Revenue
sources:
one
is
the
business
occupation
tax
and
the
increase
and
you'll
see
in
that
Center
column.
That's
the
amended
item
that
we're
adjusting
business
occupation.
Taxes
were
budgeted
for
fiscal
year
2023
for
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars,
which
was
the
same
amount
that
we
budgeted
for
2022,
because
we
didn't
know
at
the
time
the
budget
was
created
how
the
economy
would
affect
different
businesses
if
we
would
continue
to
see
new
businesses
join
us
and
good
news.
I
All
is
well
in
the
business
environment
in
Canton
and
per
recent
audits.
We
are
discovering
that
several
existing
businesses
had
not
paid
occupation
tax
over
the
last
two
or
three
years.
So
that's
what
justifies
this
increase.
Also,
why
I
needed
to
point
out
this
increase
in
the
business
occupation?
Tax
collections
is
because
we're
required
by
state
law
to
hold
a
hearing,
and
that
will
be
next
scheduled
for
next
council
meeting
on
September
28th
and
the
hearing
is
required
anytime.
The
government's
revenues
from
occupation
tax
exceed
the
revenues
collected
in
the
previous
year.
I
Those
transfers
are
required
to
be
the
money
from
the
hotel
Moto
tax
winner
are
required
to
be
spent
in
the
year
received.
So,
as
we
see
increases
in
the
hotel
tax
revenues,
we
need
to
get
that
money
allocated
appropriately
to
where
it
needs
to
go,
including
the
general
fund
that
money
should
be
used
for
tourism
items
or
for
physical
events
at
parks
theaters.
I
Human
Resources,
those
budgeted
items
are
for
increased
cost
of
employee
surveys
and
attorneys
fees.
If
you
look
down
at
the
police
department,
the
Communications,
Department
streets
and
parks,
those
increases
have
to
do
with
overtime
and
special
events
pay
and,
as
pay
goes
up
for
the
special
events
and
the
concerts
and
the
festivals.
So
does
workers
comp
insurance
over
budgeted
estimates.
I
Looking
at
the
hotel,
motel
tax
fund
revenues
have
increased
more
than
anticipated
because
when
we
created
the
2023
budget,
we
weren't
sure
if
the
new
hotels
that
were
added
this
year
would
reach
redistribute
revenues
or
increase
total
revenues,
and
it
turns
out.
Revenues
are
increasing,
the
reserves,
numbers
also
increased
and
that
number,
as
a
result
of
the
fiscal
year
2022
budget,
once
those
Figures
were
verified
by
the
Auditors.
We
need
to
get
previous
monies
out
and
reallocate
so
down
below
you'll
see
for
the
hotomoto
tax
fund.
I
E
One
thing
one
thing
I
will
note
in
just
for
the
the
general
audience
is,
for
example,
as
Ms
Forrester
mentioned
during
the
year.
We
ended
up
having
to
raise
the
rate
for
special
event
pay
to
match
some
of
the
pay
of
other
jurisdictions
around
us,
because
we
were
having
a
hard
time
getting
the
additional
overtime
for
those
special
events
and
activities.
We've
also
stayed
fully
staffed
in
a
lot
of
departments
that
we
haven't
had
in
the
past.
E
We've
had
a
lot
more
events
as
a
city
this
year
than
we
have
had
in
the
past,
and
so
we
have
to
pay
those
those
fees
out
and
unlike
federal
government,
for
instance,
we
have
to
have
a
balanced
budget.
So
when
we
do
have
increases
in
revenues
and
we
have
increases
in
expenses,
it's
our
responsibility
under
state
law
to
make
sure
our
budget
matches
those
things.
So
that's
why
we
bring
budget
amendments
to
you
to
clarify
those
specific
items
as
they
change
over
time.
E
The
comment
that
was
made
about
the
sanitation
fund.
We
do
allocations
from
different
funds
back
into
the
general
fund,
based
upon
the
amount
of
time
that,
on
a
whole,
people's
been
working
on
certain
things.
So,
for
example,
there
is
a
reimbursement
back
into
the
general
fund
from
the
water
and
sewer
fund.
That
is
an
allocation
that
goes
towards
General
administration,
because
when
the
receptionist
picks
up
the
phone
upstairs
some
of
the
calls
go
and
are
redirected
to
the
water
department.
E
That
person
opens
mail
that
person
a
portion
of
their
time
is
spent
doing
those
things
in
sanitation.
You
have
to
recall
that
in
the
last
year
we
outsourced
sanitation
to
a
third
party.
So
some
of
the
things
we
had
allocated
in
the
past,
we
decided
to
remove
that
allocation.
But
since
we
had
additional
revenues,
come
in
from
other
sources,
we're
just
replacing
it
within
within
the
budgets
with
those
sources,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
clarification
is
made.
M
Yeah,
so
this
and
you
have
a
draft
ordinance
in
your
packet
that
was
the
result
of
the
committee
meeting,
there's
a
timing
issue
that
we
need
to
just
sort
of
get
an
idea
of
what
you
want
to
do.
The
draft
is
prepared,
with
the
effective
date
being
upon
the
adoption
of
zoning
changes
that
will
be
necessary
and
those,
of
course,
will
require
an
advertisement
and
public
hearing
process.
M
So
with
this
ordinance
we
could
choose
to
wait
and
adopt
them
all
at
once,
or
we
can
adopt
this
one
now,
knowing
that
it's
not
really
effective
until
later,
which
might
cause
a
little
bit
of
confusion.
But
so
that's
sort
of
one
thing
we
would
need
to
decide
tonight.
You
could
say
well
yeah.
We
do
want
to
do
this
and
therefore
go
ahead
with
the
zoning
part,
and
we
can
get
that
started,
continue
to
discuss
this
and
just
plan
on
adopting
them.
At
the
same
time,.
M
There
you
got
an
email
with
some
comments
from
a
member
of
the
public
and
I
had
addressed
it
with
the
email
I
wanted
to
address
those
tonight
as
well.
One
of
the
comments
was
about
only
allowing
two
adults
in
a
you
know:
rental,
a
room
bedroom
and
the
suggestion
was
two
plus
two,
which
is
many
ordinances.
Do
allow
two
more
people
in
addition
to
the
two
adults
to
in
some
ordinances,
in
fact,
say
you
don't
even
count
small
children,
so
there's
lots
of
different
things
there.
M
So
that
is
something
that
you
can
decide
that
to
add
that
additional
people
of
being
in
in
a
bedroom
at
the
committee
we
just
talked
about
two
adults.
We
didn't
get
into
the
details
about
that,
so
that
would
be
a
choice
that
you
could
make
in
the
ordinance
as
I
drafted
it.
M
The
committee
said
that
they
did
not
want
just
portions
of
a
house
to
be
used
as
a
short-term
rental.
It
would
have
to
be
the
entire
house
and
then,
with
the
exception
of
something
that
was
qualified
as
a
Adu
accessory
dwelling
unit.
A
point
was
raised
about.
M
Well,
maybe
there's
some
older
houses
that
would
qualify
that
would
not,
or
that
might
have
something
like
that,
without
it
being
under
a
permitted
Adu
as
a
non-conforming
use
or
something
so
I
had
proposed
that
we
could
change
that
to
just
say,
unless
the
portion
that's
being
used,
has
the
thing
that
you
need
to
have
to
be
in
Adu,
which
is
the
kitchen
facility
bathroom
facility
and
a
beds,
so
that
would
be
an
option
for
that
which
would
not
tie
it
to
any
particular
process
or
ordinances
that
we've
done
for
adus.
M
That
was
not
the
intent.
The
intent
was
to
provide
an
exception
to
and
having
be
the
whole
house
for
things
that
were
otherwise
have
all
the
things
you
would
want
in
a
short-term
rental.
You
could
always
choose
just
to
let
portions
of
a
house
be
rented,
but
that's.
The
committee
did
not
recommend
that
so
I
drafted
the
ordinance
that
way.
So
that
would
be
something
we
could
talk
through
and
and
do
the
the
third
was
a
on
the
audit
reporting
and,
and
that
does
need
to
be
worked
on.
M
I've
had
some
communication
between
the
staff
and
me
by
email
today
trying
to
come
up
with
a
reporting
thing
that
makes
sense
for
individuals,
I
just
lifted
it
from
the
hotel,
motel
tax
and-
and
that's
probably
not
really
what
we
want
to
have
that
kind
of
process
for
people
that
might
just
be
individuals,
I
mean
I.
Think
what
we
ultimately
just
want
to
know
is
how
much
rent
did
you
make
and
have
the
ability
to
confirm
that
because
they
do
have
to
pay
the
hotel
motel
tax
based
on
that
rental?
M
So
it's
probably
a
fairly
simple
thing
to
do
and
I
assume
that
you
would
also
agree
that
we
don't
want
to
be
too
onerous
or
more
detailed
than
it
needs
to
be.
So
there
will
be
some
changes
to
that
as
well.
So
I
don't
think
we
really
are
in
our
position
to
adopt
it
at
the
next
meeting.
I
think
there's
some
more
to
be
worked
out.
We
would
like
your
input
on
that
and
I
do
I
think
we
should
just
wait
and
adopt
them
all
at
once.
N
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
everybody
for
working
with
this
committee
and
helping
us
figure
all
this
out.
This
is
again
we've
already
discussed
this,
but
just
in
case
people
aren't
in
the
loop.
It's
come
up
because
people
want
to
do.
Airbnbs
people
are
doing
airbnbs
and
you
know
so.
It's
come
up
like
how.
How
can
that
be
regulated?
What
about
the
hotel
motel
tax?
Are
we
making
sure
that
people?
How
are
we
making
sure
that
in
in
neighborhoods
that
it's
being
done
the
right
way?
F
So
the
the
mayor
decided
to
appoint
a
committee
and
we've
been
working
on
again,
not
Reinventing
the
wheel,
but
seeing
how
other
communities
are
doing
this
successfully
because
they're
doing
it
all
around
the
country,
so
I
just
want
to
say:
I've
shouted
a
little
bit
with
the
committee
or
at
least
seen
some
of
the
emails
that
went
through
and
I.
Think
my
recommendation
would
be
that
yes,
it's
the
two
plus
two
occupancy
is
a
good
thing
to
revise
in
the
ordinance
the
exception.
The
way
we
wanted
to
build
in
the
exception.
F
If
we
change
that
language,
it
does
mean
that
if
a
homeowner
had
a
fully
finished
basement
with
its
own
entrance
and
a
full
kitchen
and
the
sleeping
area
and
a
bathroom
that
would
be
an
exception.
Yes,
correct
still
wouldn't
be
the
whole
house,
but
it
would
be,
it
could
be
a
whole
entire
finished
basement.
Correct.
M
Okay,
and
so
the
the
definition
of
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
is
a
dwelling
unit
which
is
accessory,
and
the
dwelling
unit
is
defined
as
a
separate
in
a
space
that
could
be
independent
right,
meaning
it
has
all
the
things
you
need
to
live
in
it,
but
it
also
requires
a
connection
to
the
interior.
So
it's
not
so
much
about
having
a
separate
entrance.
It's
just
a
space
that
has
all
that's
needed.
Okay
to
live
in.
F
It
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
know
when
we
put
it
in
the
ordinance
more
confusing
language
than
what
we
like
to
try
to
understand.
If
we're
actually
trying
to
run
an
Airbnb
and
then,
like
you've,
already
said,
you'll
work
in
the
audit
reporting,
we'll.
N
I
was
just
going
to
say:
Mr
Dyer's
explanation.
Just
now
was
was
great
in
that
that
is
the
definition
of
an
Airbnb.
The
company
Airbnb
somebody,
a
family
somebody
lives
in
part
of
the
home
and
the
renter
lives
in
another
part
of
the
home.
M
A
M
Rental
I
would
think
so
any
question
would
be
whether
insurance
companies
considered
a
business
which
would
be
a
problem
or
just
considerative
renting
and
then
there's
rental.
You
basically
get
landlord
insurance
right,
but
I,
don't
the
ordinance
doesn't
require
proof
of
that
as
drafted,
so
that
would
just
be
up
to
the
owners
as
to
whether
they
did
that.
A
Okay,
so
more
along
keeping
along
the
the
risk
route
and
they
don't
disclose
that
they
are
operating
a
short-term
rental.
There's
a
safety
concern
with
a
renter,
short-term
renter.
This
is
something
that
we
are
about
to
approve.
Does
this
ever
does
the
city?
Will
the
city
ever
be
at
fault,
for
no
okay,.
M
A
I
mean
within
like
Code,
Compliance
and
they'll
have
the
the
certificate
as
well,
and
my
thoughts
were
on
the
the
other
end
of
it
with
the
insurance
company
and,
if
anything
had
to
be,
if
there
was
any
extra
work
that
they
had
to
do.
But
it
seems
like
they're
it's
up
to
them
correct
at
their
discretion.
Accountants.
M
M
M
Mayor
I'm.
Sorry,
yes,
we're
just
back
on
the
previous
Banner.
Do
you
want
us
to
go
ahead
and
start
the
process
of
advertising
the
zoning
changes,
so
we
can
get
that
in
the
works?
Everybody?
Okay
with
doing
this?
Yes,
we
want
to
allow
it.
So
we
want
to
go
ahead
and
get
started.
Okay,
yeah
sure!
Yes,.
E
Peppers,
Mr,
Mayor
and
Council
received
an
email
last
week
from
Mr
Morton
with
a
County
as
the
911
Center
was
applying
or
working
on
their
application
for
their
National
certification.
They
became
aware
of
the
fact
that
their
agreements
between
the
county
and
each
of
the
cities
on
9-1-1
Communications
had
expired,
and
so
Mr
Morton
sent
out
quick
drafts
of
an
updated
agreement
to
all
of
the
cities
for
us
to
consider
adopting
early
this
month
so
that
they
can
have
that
updated.
E
This
is
the
same
agreement
that
we've
had
with
them
in
the
past.
Some
of
the
things
that
it
outlines
in
here
is
the
fact
that
you
know
they
receive
the
fees
off
of
Telecom
to
operate
the
9-1-1
system.
They
do
dispatch
and
Communications
in
coordination
with
the
cities
that
they
own
all
of
their
equipment,
that
if
they
get
grants,
they
use
the
grants
for
9-1-1.
E
One
change
that
is
in
this
agreement
that
that
the
cities
did
ask
for
is
that
this
agreement,
the
term
on
match
the
current
term
with
our
service
delivery
strategy.
So
this
agreement
would
be
in
place
until
June
30th
2028
to
match
with
the
current
Service
delivery
strategy
agreement
staff
would
recommend
if
council's
okay,
that
you
go
ahead
and
approve
the
mou
tonight
and
authorize
the
city
manager
to
sign
it.
That
way
we
can
get
it
turned
in
and
they
can
start
finish
the
process
of
moving
forward
with
their
re-accreditation.
E
This
I
did
verify
with
with
the
county
manager
that
the
911
Center
operates
on
about
a
six
and
a
half
million
dollar
budget.
100
of
their
budget
comes
from
the
911
fee
that
you
pay
on
your
phone
service
and
they
receive
those
funds
and
that's
what
they
use
and
that
that
they're
not
asking
for
anything.
There
is
a
line
in
here
that
talks
about
fees
may
be
charged
to
the
city
for
additional
services,
but
we
have
to
mutually
agree
to
those
Services.
E
C
E
Perfect,
no,
no,
a
perfect
example
of
that.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
I
say
a
couple
of
years.
It
might
have
been
four
years
ago.
E
I
know
one
city
in
Cherokee:
County
had
changed
their
CAD
system
as
it
relates
to
their
to
their
Public
Safety
and
the
way
that
things
were
communicated
by
address
and
to
be
able
to
patch
in
with
9-1-1
they
had
to
get
a
license
from
9-1-1
to
operate
with,
and
so
9-1-1
charged
that
particular
City
an
additional
fee
for
that
annual
license,
that's
above
and
beyond
what
they
would
provide
as
a
county-wide
service,
but
that
was
handled
through
a
separate
contract.
E
C
I
know
director
Brownback
and
his
team
do
great
job
and
I
appreciate
you
verifying
their
funding.
100
from
the
Telecom
and
the
fees
are
paid.
I
know
a
lot
of
counties
and
a
lot
of
9-1-1
receive
extra
grants
and
additional
funding
through
sploss
and
other
things
another
worth
some
concerns
or
questions
at
some
point
about
the
911
system
needing
some
upgrades
and.
E
And
I
did
talk
to
the
county
manager
about
that.
He
said
the
issues
they're
currently
having
with
9-1-1
or
correlated
to
the
service
provider
for
data
and
less
related
to
the
equipment
that
they
have
and
they
are
working
on
some
additional
patches
with
that.
But
in
the
last
blast
they
did
use
funding
to
create
a
backup.
9-1-1
Center
should
anything
happen
to
the
current
Center
and
that's
been
fully
funded
in
and
is
operational
at
this
time.
C
Okay,
thanks
for
checking
into
that
I,
just
I'd
heard
that
so
I
wanted
to
verify
that
to
make
sure
that
911
services
were
functioning
well
for
our
citizens,
but
as
far
as
this
memo
of
understanding
then
and
I
think
I
certainly
agree
with
it
that
it
matches
the
service
delivery,
stat
strategy,
good
dates
as
well.
So
any
other
questions
on
this
or
do
we
have
a
motion
on
this
tonight.
N
I'd
be
happy
to
make
a
motion
to
have
the
city
manager
a
sign,
an
mou
with
the
county
for
9-1-1
Communications.
Second
motion.
C
E
Peppers,
so
to
explain
this
transaction
to
the
public.
The
county
made
a
land
trade
with
the
school
district.
Earlier
this
year.
The
school
district
wanted
some
property
that
the
county
owned
and
the
county
agreed
to
exchange
that
property
with
this
tip
in
site.
The
old
North
Canton
Elementary
School
in
the
North
Canton
Mill
Village
as
part
of
the
process,
the
county
had
a
conversation
about
taking
that
property
and
then
converting
it
to
a
housing
use.
E
It's
first
of
all.
It's
not
a
great
site
for
a
fire
station
and,
second
of
all,
the
county
actually
owns
property
across
the
street
where
the
county
administrative
offices
are,
and
the
discussion
has
always
been
that
if
they
had
to
put
a
fire
station
in
that
area,
they
would
just
build
it
on
the
same
site
that
they
are
owned.
I
think
the
county
wants
to
turn
around
and
sell
that
4.4
acres
to
the
school
district,
because
the
school
district
is
the
neighboring
property
owner.
E
Additionally
the
county
had
provided
arpa
Funds
American
Rescue
plan
act,
funds
to
Kent
housing
authority
and
must
Ministries
for
housing
related
projects
at
tippins,
but
the
county
is
not
going
to
own
tippins
anymore.
In
conversation
with
a
county,
the
county
has
said
that
when
we
take
ownership
of
the
site,
we
will
make
all
decisions
on
what
happens
with
that.
One
must
Ministries
decided
that
they
didn't
have
enough
time
to
do
what
they
thought
that
they
might
want
to
do
in
the
area,
so
they
actually
turned
down
the
grant
money
that
they
had
been
offered.
E
Canton
Housing
Authority
has
now
been
given
that
portion
of
the
money,
plus
the
money
that
they
had
been
given
before
the
intent
of
the
money
to
the
Kent
Housing
Authority
received,
was
to
demolish
the
School
portion
of
that
site.
Not
the
gymnasium
portion
School
portion
was
built
during
the
60s
there's
some
remediation
that
has
to
be
done
there.
The
housing
authorities
already
received
all
of
their
bids.
They
are
ready
to
go
when
we
are
on
demolishing
the
school,
it's
in
really
bad
shape
and
just
clearing
that
side.
E
We
would
then
work
with
the
housing
authority
to
determine
what
the
future
use
of
the
rest
of
the
property
would
be.
The
benefit
to
us
now
in
owning
this
and
and
also
having
the
gymnasium.
Is
this
we're
working
through
the
process
of
a
Parks
and
Recreation
master
plan?
Now
we
have
a
space
in
one
of
our
neighborhoods
that
we
can
say
hey
what
would
you
like
to
see
in
this
space
as
it
relates
to
programming,
or
what
have
you,
the
Gym's?
Actually
in
really
good
condition?
E
They
have
a
lot
of
film
requests
for
that
particular
gym.
If,
if
you're
in
the
audience
and
you've
never
been
there,
it's
it's
a
gorgeous
gym.
I,
don't
know
how
many
holiday
basketball
tournaments
have
been
played
over
there
in
the
Years
with
with
Cherokee
youth
basketball,
but
it's
a
great
gym
and
it's
a
community
resource.
E
Our
recommendation
to
council
would
be
that
you
vote
to
remove
that
deed
restriction
so
that
we
can
close
out
that
transaction
and
we
can
start
moving
forward
with
the
Demolition
of
the
old
school
and
then
work
with
counseling
the
Kent
housing
authority.
To
talk
about
what
the
rest
of
that
land
should
look
that
area
and
then,
of
course,
with
the
gymnasium
we'll
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
secure
it.
At
the
current
time,
make
sure
it's
cleaned
up
figure
out
what
the
next
steps
are
for
it
as
well.
D
F
So
the
county
ended
up,
giving
all
their
arpa
Grant
to
the
Canton
Housing
Authority,
which
is
a
separate
entity
that,
even
though
it
says
Canton,
and
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
city
to
clarify
correct.
So
the
Canton
Housing
Authority,
because
of
how
the
grant
funds
have
to
be
used,
is
tearing
down
the
school
correct.
F
E
When
this
deal
was
put
together,
my
initial
concern
and
my
hesitancy
with
the
county
was
the
fact
that
they
were
offering
to
trade
us
property
and
they
had
offered
a
grant
to
an
entity
to
tear
the
school
down.
But
at
the
time
we
didn't
know
that
the
entity
would
even
accept
the
grant
to
do
that
work.
What
I
didn't
want
was
a
situation
where
the
county
gives
us
a
property,
and
now
we've
got
to
go
in
and
demolish
a
building.
That's
that's
not
a
healthy
building.
E
So
what
they
were
concerned
with
is
between
the
time
that
they
originally
proposed
that
Grant
last
fall,
and
now
there
would
be
an
exorbitant
price
change
on
the
demolition,
so
they've
gone
back
and
they've
factored
that
in
what
I
did
verify
with
the
county
is
that,
even
though
the
Housing
Authority
will
have
some
excess
funds
beyond
the
cost
of
of
demolition,
they
can
only
spend
those
excess
funds
on
that
property.
E
N
E
C
E
C
Any
further
discussion
questions,
so
we
have
a
motion
is
second,
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
name.
All
members
are
voted
for
the
motion
yeah
and
if
discussion
and
possible
action
on
the
intergovernmental
agreement
with
the
Downtown
Development
Authority
on
the
purchase
and
Redevelopment
of
property
at
687,
Marietta
Highway.
E
E
E
We
had
an
opportunity
with
the
Downtown
Development
Authority,
to
enter
into
an
agreement
to
purchase
that
property
that
will
allow
us
to
purchase
that
slope
to
do
whatever
we
need
to
on
that
slope,
to
protect
our
sewer
and
our
our
Trail
and
then
the
Downtown
Development
Authority
can
turn
around
and
and
work
with
a
private
entity
to
sell
the
front
portion
of
that.
That's
on
Marietta
Highway.
So,
basically,
what
the
intergovernmental
agreement
is
doing
is
it's
providing
funding
to
the
Downtown
Development
Authority
to
make
that
purchase.
M
Explain
it
so
you'll
recall
that
as
Mr
Peppers
described,
the
slope
was
a
subject
of
two
condemnation:
actions
for
these
men
and
we've
been
fighting
and
we
went
up
to
the
court
appeals
and
all
that,
so
the
owner
is
selling
the
property
and
would
like
to
resolve
the
cases,
and
so
the
settlement
agreement
was
to
settle
both
cases
for
250,
000
dollars
and
and
so
the
both
the
cases
will
be
dismissed
and
over
with
and
we
were
gonna,
we
had
already
gone
beyond
our
the
areas
we
had
condemned.
M
So
we
were
going
to
have
to
re-do
all
that
anyway.
So
that's
taking
care
of
all
that
and
ending
it.
The
second
component
was
a
few
thousand
dollars
that
we
had
paid
in
the
owner
will
get
to
keep
out
of
court,
so
it's
250,
000,
plus
a
few
thousand
dollars
that
have
been
paid
in.
So
we
would
like
on
that.
We
would
like
a
motion
to
approve
those
terms.
M
C
And
then
the
original
item
is
the
integral
agreement
with
the
DDA
on
the
purchase
and
Redevelopment
of
the
properties
and
with
the
city
having
say
so,
of
How
It's
developed
and
if
it's
sold,
they.
M
E
C
Okay
and
then
this
solves
the
this
settles
the
disagreement
that
property
owner
on
that
slope.
M
C
Also
puts
the
slope
and
the
restoration
of
the
slope
in
the
city's
hand,
so
we
can
solve
that
and
proceed
with
the
trail
finally
and
complete
that
project.
There's
citizens
have
been
asking
about
so
it
solves
that
issue
and
then
allows
us
to
proceed
and
DDA
proceed
with
with
then
marketing
and
Redevelopment
of
that
property
to
the
city's
best
interest.
So
anyone
clear
on
that,
okay,
Miss
Schmidt.
F
C
F
C
E
Just
a
couple
of
items
I
want
to
mention
tonight,
first
of
all,
a
reminder
for
the
public
that
a
second
council
meeting
in
September
will
be
held
on
the
28th
I
recall
when
we
set
the
calendar
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
E
We
decided
to
push
the
second
meeting
back
a
week
because
it
fell
during
the
fall
break
with
schools
and
we
were
going
to
have
some
issues
with
Staffing
and
Council,
so
that
meeting
will
be
on
the
28th
and
have
no
fear
we'll
come
back
the
very
next
week
and
have
our
first
meeting
in
October.
So
we'll
get
to
see
everybody
two
weeks
in
a
row.
So
that's
exciting.
The
second
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
is:
is
it's
just
a
real
big?
Thank
you
to
our
team
of
volunteers,
our
staff,
our
elected
officials.
E
We
had
a
fantastic
Georgia
downtown
conference
in
August
we
had
visitors
from
many
many
cities
across
the
state,
state
organizations,
state
agencies,
private
entities
such
as
Georgia
power
and
other
groups
like
that
they
had
a
Wonder
full
time,
while
they
were
here
in
Canton,
a
team
put
in
a
lot
of
work
to
prepare
for
that
lots
of
compliments
on
our
community
and
the
growth
of
our
downtown
area.
People
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
the
mill.
They
had
an
opportunity
to
visit
historic
buildings
downtown
they
got
the
art
projects
they
got
to
enjoy
our
theater.
E
They
got
to
enjoy
events,
food
beverage,
hotels,
our
staff
in
lots
of
cases
went
above
and
beyond
to
make
sure
that
those
individuals
were
treated
well,
while
they
were
here
and
taken
care
of
and
I
couldn't
be
more
more
appreciative
to
the
hard
work
that
went
into
that
Belinda
Hardy.
All
of
the
folks
in
our
Explorer
Canton
team
that
worked
on
that
particular
event.
Our
boards,
that
volunteered
to
assist
I,
saw
I,
saw
board
members
as
bartenders
and
and
handing
out
water
and
standing
make
sure
people
got
on
shuttles.
E
C
E
Be
looking
for
the
other
conferences
that
we
can
we
can
bring
to
town
now
that
we've
done
that
one
I
think
it
I
think
it
was
a
good
opportunity
to
share
our
community
with
the
state
of
Georgia
and
and
frankly,
I.
Think
the
people
around
the
state
who
had
never
been
to
Canton
were
very
surprised
and
impressed
with
the
community
that
that
they
found
here
so
I
did
want
to
mention
that
I
have
no
other.
Oh
oh
I
do
Saturday
is
our
Multicultural
Festival
I.
E
Putting
that
on
and
I
know,
they're
looking
forward
to
the
event
it'll
be
warm
so
make
sure
you
stay
hydrated,
but
come
ready
with
an
empty
stomach,
because
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
good
food
and
we
appreciate
the
hard
work
that
goes
into
that
hope
to
see
everyone
there
get
an
opportunity
to
meet
your
neighbor,
learn
a
little
bit
about
the
different
cultures
of
our
community
and
enjoy
an
opportunity
to
give
us
feedback
on
how
we're
doing
as
a
community.
So
any
questions
you
might
have
for
me.
C
A
question
for
Mr
pepper,
thank
you.
Miss
peppers,
I'll,
concur
with
you
on
a
great
work
for
our
team
and
for
the
Georgia
downtown
conference.
I
saw
so
many
posts.
You
know
just
praising
Canton
and
and
the
great
time
that
people
had
here
and
saw
so
many
people
talking
about
how
they
were
going
to
return
to
Canton
and
bring
their
families
from
all
over
the
state.
So
it's
really
exciting
so
very
proud.
