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 a 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 ort five 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 fori them. They are requesting for the City to continue annual funding of $25,000. 3. Georgia Youth Impact ProjectFunding. 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 AMENDED 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.

Respectfully, pr LeAnn Lehigh City Clerk Work Session - June 2, 2025 AMENDED 1 HOGANSVILLE Meeting held at 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.

Council Member Jason Baswell and Assistant City Manager Oasis Nichols were not present at tonight's meeting. ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Discussion of Proposed 2025/2026 Budget City Manager Lisa Kelly gave an overview of the proposed budget. AMR Subsidy: Last year's $425,000 placeholder for the anticipated AMR subsidy (Advanced Life Support paramedics in fire stations) is under review. New information from the county manager indicates a 12- 18-month timeline for full ALS paramedic implementation, prompting a recommendation to reduce the placeholder to $300,000. This maintains readiness for future needs while freeing funds for other budget objectives. Council may later adjust the placeholder via a budget amendment if the actual subsidy requirement changes. Police Department Payroll and Incentive Adjustments: Two alternate payroll scenarios are under consideration for police personnel: Current proposal: Starting wage at $26 per hour. Alternate One: Increase starting wage to $27 per hour and raise civilian police pay by $0.50 per hour. Estimated city payroll impact: $126,090.30 (blue-box summary provided). Alternate Two: Further adjustments, with an overall payroll increase of about $272,517.74. Discussion points: Ensuring competitive compensation to attract and retain police and public safety staff. Comparisons with surrounding departments show potential improvement in ranking after adjustments. Consideration of tenure bonuses ($1,000 after three years, $2,000 after ten years) to aid retention. Preference for Alternate Two to make the department competitive in the near term, with the option for future amendments. Council direction is requested on which alternative to implement, with further analysis planned using detailed spreadsheets. City Manager will have information on receiving preliminary budget digests from Troup County (property taxes) by Wednesday to inform final decisions. Internal Service Fund and Medical Account Transfers: The inter-fund balance for medical accounts (internal service fund) has been functioning well. A routine $100,000 transfer from the medical account to the general fund is budgeted to help cover employee raises. This process, in place since 2016/2019, may adjust based on claims and employee health trends. Capital Projects, Equipment, and Facility Considerations Discussion on earmarking funds for: o Sidearms, used or new forklifts. New backup generators for City Hall and the maintenance building; generators are not yet available for all facilities. Work Session - June 16, 2025 $150,000 allocated to the street department budget for paving projects, with potential to use as a grant match. Parks, recreation, and trails projects: Specific mention of Holland Ware Park improvements. Funding streams to be reassessed and earmarked separately through SPLOST. Annex Building Utilization and Future Needs: Debate on repurposing or equipping the annex building for council meetings and other functions. Current use includes court services and overflow for council meetings. Staff has concerns about the logistics in shifting operations between buildings. Future planning should address immediate needs and long-term adaptability, including upgrades or reallocation of funds. SPLOST and Infrastructure Development: SPLOST funds are allocated based on a six-year projection. Revenue estimates and expense allocations (water, sewer, sidewalks, equipment) are divided evenly over six years. Future development fees (tap, review, electric construction) support ongoing city service improvements. Commitment to holding developers responsible for their own utility expenses. Discussion of potential infrastructure projects, including generator quotes for the annex and road improvements alongside anticipated development. Emergency and Operational Equipment Updates Side-by-Side Vehicle for EMS: Consideration for acquiring a new side-by-side vehicle: o Evaluation of a new model versus procuring two vehicles if a different model is available. Grant opportunities (e.g., Yamaha) cover outfitting costs, making the purchase more cost-effective. Planned modifications include an EMS sled for stretcher/Dackboard use, addressing increased trail patrol and emergency response needs in developing areas. Other Equipment and Maintenance Issues Wastewater Plant: Two lawnmowers have been in service for over five years; one is significantly worn. A public hearing is scheduled this evening to present key budget highlights, with a work session planned to further refine proposals on June 25. A Called Meeting is also scheduled for June 25 if Council is ready to adopt the budget. An alternate date of June 30 is proposed if Council does not approve the budget on June 25. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION NOT ON AGENDA Annexation, Rezoning, and Development Agreement Discussion City Manager Lisa Kelly gave an overview oft the proposed annexation and rezoning project for a property currently zoned general industrial by the county. The intent is to negotiate conditions aligning the property with city standards. , Key conditions: Establish a development agreement (covering water, sewer, and natural gas nfrastructure) before issuing any Land Disturbance Permit (LDP). Additional stipulations: Road improvements on Emmaus Church Road, Sims Road, and at Sims 54, with DOT input required. Establish buffers and safeguards to protect neighboring landowners. Mayor.

Present were Council Member Michael Taylor, Council Member Jason Baswell, Council Member Mandy Neese, Council Member Mark. Ayers, and Council Member Kandis Strickland. Also present were City Manager Lisa Kelly, Assistant City Manager Oasis Nichols, Attorney Alex Dixon, Police Chief Jeff Sheppard, and City Clerk LeAnn Lehigh. ORDER OF BUSINESS 1. Discussion of Proposed 2025/2026 Budget City Manager Lisa Kelly gave an overview of Version 3 of the proposed budget. The main reason fori this revision was to adjust the starting pay for police officers, and to achieve parity with other departments and comparable cities. Final total increase after all adjustments: $80,980 (including all benefits: retirement, long-term disability, city-provided benefits). Payroll increases and parity adjustments are citywide and include all seven proposed new positions. The preliminary tax digest was lower than expected, requiring downward revision of revenue projections. Staff adjusted property tax revenue: $1,075,000 (see page 4 oft the budget). AMR ambulance) subsidy reduced to $300,000 (down by $125,000), but retained as a cushion for negotiations as the county plans to add paramedics to all stations within 12-18 months. Two development projects submitted construction drawings, allowing for an increase in projected development/Duldling permit fees (+$150,000). After these adjustments, the budget is balanced. Council Requests and Additions Early voting funding for the municipal election in Hogansville included: Covers Friday, Saturday, and the last full week before the election (7 days total). Intergovernmental support line item increased to $25,000 (from $5,000): Discussion on Funding for Nonprofits/Youth Programs Council expressed strong support for youth programs but emphasized: The city should not be the sole or primary funder for any organization. Preference for organizations to demonstrate diversified funding and provide clear financial accountability. Past practice: Other funded organizations (e.g., Pioneer, Elevation) provided detailed financials, operated year-round, and city funding represented a small percentage of their budgets. Georgia Youth Impact Project received $6,000 in December as a pilot; council requests a detailed accounting of how those funds were spent before considering further funding. Council is open to continued support but expects: 1. Clear report on use of previous city funds. 2. Evidence of other funding sources. 3. Detailed, actionable plans for future programs. Called Work Session - June. 25, 2025 Funding for new or pilot programs will be allocated from the $25,000 discretionary line item, distributed monthly, not as lump sums. Council intends to develop formal guidelines for nonprofit funding, including expectations for matching funds, reporting, and phased support (e.g., pilot funding, then phased reduction over years). Budget Impact and Departmental Sacrifices No major departmental sacrifices required; department heads were prepared to make cuts if necessary, but revenue adjustments and payroll parity allowed all priorities to be maintained. Property tax revenue shortfall explained: Tax assessments are based on property status as of January 1; new construction will impact future years' revenue, not the current year. Police Pay and Retention Incentives New starting pay for officers: $27.51/hour, matching nearby cities. Retention incentives: O $1,000 after three years of service. o $2,000 after ten years. o $1,000 for living within city limits (after one year residency). C Estimated cost for incentives this year: $13,000. Nine officers will reach the three-year mark this year. High turnover historically: 60 officers left since 2012; 52% left within 1-4 years. Goal: Create a culture and incentive structure to retain officers, rather than serve as a 'springboard" to larger agencies. Future Planning and Guidelines Council recognizes the need for clear, written guidelines for nonprofit funding to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability. Plan to review practices from other municipalities and possibly discuss at a council retreat. Mayor Ayers adjourned the Work Session at 6:41pm.
