Elevations of 5C's of Prophet - Annual Update and Funding Request Charron Prophet with Elevations of 5C's of Prophet gave an update on their budget, and he is requesting the City to continue annual funding of $25,000 to help with operations. He stated that summer camp has started with 42 enrolled children and ongoing inquiries for more. Children attend from multiple counties (e.g., Heard County, Meriwether County, Coweta County, etc.). The program serves ai fluctuating number of children (initially around 70, now 60-65, with high pre-kindergarten enrollment). The program is now licensed and working toward a quality rating. Quality rating requires meeting curriculum standards and teacher training (all teachers complete Georgia PDS or equivalent). Capacity is 95 children; the peak operation is around 80. As a state- bound center, it can now accept children from neighboring communities and serve older students (middle school and beyond). He stated that insurance costs have risen significantly due to a new umbrella insurance requirement ($1-$2 million coverage). Budget adjustments are ongoing, especially after increasing staff from four ori fivei teachers last year. Last year's operating budget was about $400,000, with a detailed review scheduled for July. 2. Pioneer Youth, Inc. - Annual Update and Funding Request Emily Abraham with Pioneer Youth gave an annual update on the program, now in its 4th year. The program serves ages 7-17 at its Granite Street center. The program is free for all kids and includes daily snacks, weekly meals, and access to a "dignity store" for hygiene items. The program currently serves about 40 children daily and has reached over 130 children in total. Additional programs include back-to-school. supply events, Christmas sponsorships with the Pilot Club, and state-funded social emotional learning initiatives. Future plans include program expansion, annex building renovation, and strengthening community partnerships, with a focus on adolescent programming. Mrs. Abraham stated that rising insurance costs are also a concern for them. They are requesting for the Cityto continue annual funding of $25,000. 3. Georgia Youth Impact Project Funding Request by Frederick Manley Frederick Manley with the Georgia Youth Impact Project gave a presentation to Council requesting total funding of $25,000, with the first $7,400 to be paid for his adjusted one-week program for July. The original eight-week curriculum will be condensed to a one-week program for July. Funding for the one- week program is proposed to be included in the overall funding request if approved. Focus on gun violence prevention, substance abuse, family trauma, and mental health. Curriculum includes prevention, early intervention, and alternative programs addressing vaping, drug addiction, and meth use. He gave an overview of his anticipated revenue of $50,000 (with funding coming from the City of Hogansville, grants, and donations). He anticipates his expenses to be $45,000 for staff, materials, and transportation. Work Session - June 2, 2025 4. Annexation of Parcel Number 0030 000008 and 5. Rezoning of Parcel Numbers 0030 000008 and 0030 000007A to G-LI Civil Engineer John Wise gave a presentation to Council regarding the request to annex an 85-acre parcel on Emmaus Church Road into the City of Hogansville and rezone that parcel and the adjacent parcel of approximately 8 acres, already inside the City limits, from CR-MX to G-LI. The planned development will be three smal-to-mid-sized industrial warehouses. The sanitary sewer will be provided by Meriwether County and all other utilities come from the City of Hogansville. Planned improvements include widening the road on Emmaus Church Road and intersection upgrades to Highway 54 and Sims Road per DRI recommendations. Council emphasized the need for a development agreement specifying traffic studies and DOT coordination for truck access, intersection safety, and buffer zones to protect nearby residential areas. 5. LMIG - LRA Funding Project City Manager Lisa Kelly asked Council for their recommendation for using the $65,000 LRA funds. After previous discussions, Council agreed with using the funding to upgrade existing sidewalks needing repair and addressing the need for safety railings on Askew Avenue at Granite Street.

Hogansville City Hall, 111 High Street, Hogansville GA 30230 Public Hearing June 2, 2025 City Attorney Alex Dixon called the Public Hearing to order at 7:00 pm to hear citizen comments on the annexation of parcel number 0030 000008 and rezoning of parcel numbers 0030 000008 and 0030 000007A to G-LI. Civil Engineer John Wise gave a presentation on the requested annexation of approximately 85 acres on Emmaus Church Road and rezoning an additional 9-acre tract already within the City limits of Hogansville from CR-MX to G-LI (General Light Industrial) for a planned small to mid-sized industrial warehouse development, consisting of three buildings. Infrastructure plans include standard water quality and detention measures per Georgia stormwater management requirements, with 41 acres of impervious area (about 44% of the total site). The development is concentrated in the middle of the property, surrounded by undisturbed areas, including two streams and their buffers. A 75-foot zoning buffer is maintained on the south and east sides, preserving significant native trees and landscape, SO the warehouses will be largely screened from view. Sanitary sewer service will be provided by Meriwether County, pending ongoing coordination and meetings. Other utilities (water, electricity, etc.) will be managed by the City of Hogansville. The project will undergo a full traffic study as part of the Three Rivers Regional Commission DRI (Development of Regional Impact) process, involving coordination with GDOT, city officials, and other agencies. Anticipated improvements include widening Emmaus Church Road to full industrial pavement width along the entire length to the site, and enhancements at the intersection of Sims Road and Highway 54 to accommodate increased truck and auto traffic. CITIZEN COMMENTS Mike Purgason of 1238 Sims Road commented that he moved to his current residence to get away from industrial businesses. He stated that with current truck traffic in the area, he has a hard time turning off his road and is concerned about what more truck traffic would do. He stated that the neighbors around him are not happy with the proposed industrial development. Robert Manross of 1431 Sims Road is concerned about the noise impact and potential loss of property value due to proximity to large warehousing, with concerns about insufficient tree buffers and increased road noise. Linda Purgason of 1238 Sims Road also commented that with the newly announced Amazon distribution center coming and expecting to employ over 1000 people, she is concerned it will cause a traffic nightmare. With no additional comments, City Attorney Alex Dixon closed the Public Hearing at 7:13pm.

Present were Council Member Michael Taylor, Council Member Jason Baswell, Council Member Mark. Ayers, and Council Member Kandis Strickland. Also present were City Manager Lisa Kelly, Assistant City Manager Oasis Nichols, Police Chief Jeff Sheppard, and City Clerk LeAnn Lehigh. Council Member Mandy Neese and City Attorney Alex Dixion were not present at tonight's work session meeting. Order of Business 1. Discussion of Proposed 2025/2026 Budget City Manager Lisa Kelly presented a PowerPoint presentation on the proposed FY 2026 budget, focusing on prudent financial decisions to support City growth over the next 10-15years. Administration: Covers general City Hall functions not assigned to other departments. Revenue Projections: Property tax revenue is expected to rise due to new home construction (109 new properties Jan-May) and remodels, not from a mill rate increase. The preliminary tax digest from the county is pending; estimates are conservative. There were. 250 building permits issued from July 1 last year to May 31 this year. Increased revenue is projected from all development-related lines development fees, connection fees, building permit income), with conservative estimates. StaffingRequests: Addition of one Accounting Clerk (entry-level) to the finance department. This position will assist the Finance Director with managing records, ensuring monthly. journal entries, assisting with coding, accounts payable/receivable. Plans are in place to create an office in the airlock with estimated costs under $5,000. Key Initiatives: $50,000 allocated for a Traffic Planning Firm to prepare a comprehensive traffic study. The scope of this work would give an impact analysis, recommendations, conceptual road map, and cost estimates for future roads. This is a necessary step in planning for growth and managing congestion on Highways 54 & 29. The budget is also showing updates to Q-Public at the amount of $2,500 for a 3-year partnership with Troup County for annual ariel photos and enhanced Q-Public Tools. Council questioned if one additional accountant was sufficient. City Manager responded that one position is appropriate right now, considering unknowns with the new software and the specialized nature of governmental accounting. Succession planning is a factor. This new position should help realign duties and take some tasks off of already stretched-thin staff. City Manager emphasized the importance of cross- training employees across departments for operational continuity. Police Department: Current starting payi for police officers is $21.39/hr and is much lower than neighboring jurisdictions (Grantville $27.71/hr, LaGrange $31+/hr or $60k/year). The city ranks third lowest in a four- county area. The budget proposal is to raise the starting POST certified officer pay to $26/hr and establish pay parity for other ranked positions. There are also funds set aside: for an incentive program, with details to come later, for officer longevity and City residency. There is a request for a non-ranked civilian Code Enforcement/Animal Control Officer. The Police Department is in need of a new side-by-side, SO funds for that are proposed in the budget. There is a plan to sell five out-of-service vehicles and one confiscated vehicle, expecting $42,0001 to offset new vehicle costs. Vehicles with patrol equipment will be offered to other agencies for better returns. Currently, revenue from court fines/forfeitures and probation/technolog) fees is exceeding budget. The OPB grant covers all other capital purchases; no additional capital items requested. $665,000 remains. Work Session - June 9, 2025 2 Council Members suggested increasing starting pay to $27+/hr to match Grantville. Consideration would be needed for pay parity with other city department heads if police payi is significantly increased. The $26/hr proposal plus parity adjustments impacts the budget by "$226,000. Street Department: $60,000 allocated for raising manholes in spring, coordinating with GDOT's paving of East Main Street. $150,000 budgeted to combine with SPLOST funds for street paving (locations TBD after retreat). There is a request for three new employees to form an additional street crew for roads, grass cutting, sidewalks, and maintenance. Water/Gas employees are no longer available for these tasks due to development demands. A request is also being made for a Public Works Clerk. This position would work at the Maintenance building and would handle customer calls, work orders, purchase orders, quotes, inventory, and purchasing, improving efficiency and service. Replacement of the side arm mower is also requested in the budget, with proposed funding coming from SPLOST, potentially split among water/wastewater, pavement/sidewalks, and city equipment projects. Proposed starting pay increase for Maintenance Worker 1 from $16.50/hr to $18/hr. This would affect 13 employees across five departments. The current state average is $19.23/hr. Water Distribution: The City contracts out water compliance services (testing, lab work, EPD reporting) for $1,200/month. The current contracted service is reactive, leading to EPD letters and compliance violations due to consultant overload. City staff is proposing hiring a Water Supervisor (ideally with a water distribution license), who would manage the water department employees, oversee the SCADA system, ensure EPD compliance, mapping, and upgrade planning. Royal Theater: The Theater will continue monthly live performances, supplemented by movies, per the Council guidance. Ticket sales revenue is lower than anticipated, SO there is a focus on increasing sponsorships and memberships, and owering ticket prices for live events, booking talent with less expensive tech riders and hospitality. There is a proposal to convert the part-time Box Office employee to full-time. Since the employee is currently working close to full-time hours, the budget impact would be minimal. This position would remain hourly. There is also a request to increase the marketing budget to reach a wider audience. There is an anticipated increase in use by local schools and private bookings, conferences, and retreats. Improvement is needed in software for separating revenue from live events VS. movie sales, which is currently combined. Sewer Collection: Continued funding for engineering services for future growth, using sewer and water models. Developers will contribute to system upgrades via Development Agreements or tapi fees. There is funding for lining and manhole repair, especially where the Meriwether County Water Sewer Authority line connects to the City's gravity-fed line. Funds are also proposed for addressing odor issues where lift stations meet gravity-fed lines due to low flow, although this should improve with more connections. No additional positions are requested in this department; however, some employees would be affected by the proposed Maintenance Worker 1 pay increase to $18/hr. Wastewater Treatment Plant & Spray Field: The employee currently budgeted under the spray field will move toi the Wastewater Treatment Plant budget. There will be some remaining expenses in this line; hay cutting, grass cutting, insurance. A request is made for a small storage building and new riding lawnmower for the Wastewater Treatment Plant, totaling approx. $9,000. City-Wide Budget Highlights Financial Policies: There is no proposed increase in property tax millage rate and no proposed increases in the utility rates. SPLOST revenues/expenditures generally not in the operating budget, except for earmarked items. Work Session - June 9, 2025 3 Insurance: and Benefits: Budgeting for a 10% increase in all insurance lines (property, liability, auto), excluding medical insurance. A! 5.1% increase in medical costs. Compensation (COLA, Merit): Proposed 2.5% COLA for all employees (based on national average for 2025) and up to 5% merit increases based on performance evaluations, with the exception of Police Department and Maintenance Worker 1 increases. Increase in Christmas bonus amounts, which have currently been $600 since 2011. Capitalnvestments: and Major Expenses: Request for natural gas generators at City Hall and the Maintenance Building (currently no backup power), at a cost of $25,000 each. Revenue stategesComectonres: Significant revenue increases anticipated from water/sewer connection fees due to growth. The proposal is to allocate 75% of connection fees to a reserve fund for future water/wastewater improvements and the remaining 25% to be used for operating expenses. Budgeted by department revenue reflects only the 25% portion. Contingencyand Future Planning: $425,000 remains budgeted as a placeholder for a potential AMR subsidy. No significant progress has been made in two years. Council Member Baswell suggested exploring using these funds to help the Fire Dept. upgrade to. Advanced Life Support (ALS) instead. Additional Equipment: Funds are requested for a much-needed forklift for increasing inventory. A used forklift is estimated to cost $17,000-$20,000. This may be requested as a SPLOST earmark. OverallFinancial Growth: The total proposed budget for all funds is $26 million for FY25-26. This is a significant increase from FY 23-24 ($15 million) and 2001 ($11 million), which reflects substantial City growth. Council members were asked to thoroughly review the proposed budget document. Staff were asked to provide a list of all current employees by department and indicate newly proposed positions. Staff were also asked to provide data on the number of new employees hired from FY 23 to present. Staff will calculate and present the budget impact of increasing police starting payt to $27/hr (to match Grantville), including parity adjustments ("Version A" figures). The next budget Work Session meeting is scheduled for Monday, June 16. There will be two public hearings on. June 16, one at 10am and the other public hearing prior to the Regular Meeting at 7pm. The Budget Schedule has the potential budget adoption date as, June 25, with an alternate date of June 30 if needed. Council Members were asked to communicate any specific concerns or issues to staff before the next work session meeting. Staff will be available to go over any specific items or line-by-line if needed. City Manager agreed to inquire with the Fire Chief about the feasibility and cost of upgrading service to ALS. Mayor Ayers adjourned the Work Session at 7:49pm.

Whether the property to be affected by the zoning proposal has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned. No. The property is a sliver of land that as a stand alone parcel does not have economic viability. 4. Whether the zoning proposal will result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools. No. Emmaus Road will however need to be upgraded to current standards as the current condition of the road is poor. The proximity oft the project to the interstate greatly reduces the impact ofthe surrounding roads. Due to the nature of the project, there are no impacts to schools. 5. Whether the zoning proposal is in conformity with the policy and intent of the comprehensive land use plan. Since the site in question is undevelopable and is directly adjacent to the interstate as is and the adjacent 90 acres is zoned GI, I feel that this fits the intent of the land use plan. 6.

With a growing demand for storage and warehouse space in western Georgia coupled with the expansion of the nearby automotive assembly plants, we feel this project will support economic growth in the community.

Trammell Crow Company April 8, 2025 RE: Rezone Parcel 0030 000007A Hogansville, GA To: Mayor Jake Ayers and Council Memebers, Dear Mr. Ayers, This letter is to describe the our intention and reasoning to rezone parcel 0030 000007A from commercial to general industrial. Trammell Crow Company (TCC) has parcels 0030 000007A and 0030 000008 under contract and intends to develop the site for three small to mid-sized industrial warehouses. The diagram below depicts both sites under contract. The smaller - 8.8 acre parcel is zoned commercial and is located in the city of Hogansville. The larger parcel is zoned general industrial and is located in the county of Troup. Once buffers and set backs are considered, there is not much that can be done on the commercial parcel. In additon to rezoning the site, we will also be seeking to annex parcel 0030 000008 into the City of Hogansville. We have submitted requests for water and gas with the city as well as sewer with Merriwether County.
