All right. Hi, Liam Landry, 145 South Irwin Street. Um, happy new year. Just wanted to come up and say congratulations to all of y'all in your electoral victories last November. Um, in particular, I wanted to congratulate the newly electeds, um, Councilwoman Simmons, Councilwoman Pendergast, and Councilman Wells. Um, and while I address you three, I want to remind you of the commitments you made to the people's platform during your campaign season, whether that was verbally or written. Um, some of the key points on that platform, which I'm not going to go through all of it, are um advocating for affordable housing and holding landlords accountable. Uh, advocating for access or ensuring access to healthy and nutritious food for the people of Milville. [clears throat] um access to quality public transportation um advocacy on behalf of the workers of Milligville for a livable wage um as well as access to quality healthcare services. If you aren't aware, all of the council members were sent this platform, but you three were the ones who made a commitment to it. Um, and I want to emphasize this that while the new Vanguard, the organization that I am a part of, has distributed this platform, it is not our platform. It is the people's platform. It was authored by the people of Milligville. Every single point on that was expressed to us by the people of Milligville. And so, we have simply acted as a vehicle for them to organize and uh make their grievances known. Um, so your commitment is not to me or to my organization, but to the people of this city. And as we move into 2026, I want all of council, but especially you three to remember the commitments you have made and work to um bring these demands into reality. Thank you. [snorts]

Whereas with a stroke of a pen, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation and set into motion an an act that would change the course of American history by granting freedom where it had not been before. And whereas although the Emancipation Proclamation was signed into law on September 22nd, 1862, it was not until the 1st of January in 1863 that it reached border states and was enforced in the state of Georgia and thus began a progression of change. And whereas by this act 400,000 people who were previously enslaved in the state of Georgia were granted a freedom not known to them while on the shores of the United States, beginning an artist

47:25 – 49:22•0

journey to create a new way of life and to carve a balance in history for themselves and their heirs. And whereas it is proper and fitting to highlight this day as one of the most important days in the early progression of the state of Georgia into the new south. Now therefore, I representing Mayor M Mary Parm Copelan as mayor of the city of Milligville do hereby pro proclaim January 1st, 2026 as Emancipation Proclamation Day in the city of Milligville in honor of one of the most historic and historic and history changing days in the state of Georgia.

Good evening. I would first like to acknowledge uh mayor pro Tim Shinhoster. I would also like to congratulate uh Miss Melbour appointment to interim city manager. Thank you. Thank you.

59:38 – 1:00:31•0

Also like to welcome all the newest members of the city council. Uh there was a planning zone meeting on December 1st. Uh we had Mr. Terry Smith uh 217 Thomasville Road. He wanted to reszone to heavy industrial approximately 50 acres. It was the old Scott prison uh to be used for recycling and crushing bricks and concrete. There was a 4 to1 vote in favor. There was only one no vote and the no vote was at an issue with the dust possible uh dusk exposure to a possible school nearby Midway School and but Mr. Smith assured assured the board that they had a wet down procedure for the for the trucks before they got on the road. So, uh, the vote the board agreed with that. Uh, are there any questions?

1:00:34•0

Okay. I I will let Mr. Ted Smith approach the podium.

1:00:47 – 1:02:45•0

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm T Smith. I live at 153 PA John's Road, Millerville, Georgia. Um, this is under one of my companies called TS Smith Development Company. We're in the process of tearing down demo in several state buildings. Part of YDC, we just completed the Arnold building that created a need for the crushing of the brick and the concrete coming out of these buildings. About half of YDC, as you may know, is going to the ground for a new $75 million facility being constructed by the state. Uh same thing's going on in August and other places. Um so this created this need. We acquired the 50 acres from the development authority. Um thank you. And then uh we have done survey work. It's going to be a combination of uh it's a green facility. The final permit will be done with Georgia EPD and um that's in process now once this vote here is official. Uh the uh it it is a green project as I said. Secondary leg of this project is has one warehouse building now which was the old gymnasium that would be converted into a warehouse and then several more warehouses are planned to be built for staging of super sacks from the cattle industry and other places which is a totally inert material and those materials will be bu bought in stored and as needed will be transferred to the port of Savannah and through the artery of the interstate system we have in Um, it's it's a private location. It's a good location and we're happy to try to do something with some of the unused property that that the state seems to have plenty of in the old hospital complex. Um, here's a brief picture in case you

1:02:41 – 1:03:54•0

wanted to see it on a photograph. Um, this this is a 50 acre site here. Uh, we did not take prison buildings. The problem with those as you may know is as best as abatement. Um so this is the existing warehouse future future future uh that this the crushing will be done in these areas here and uh be contained all on this this site. Uh the one question that came up in the P&Z meeting uh is dust. There there's an abatement system for dust on the crushing system itself and then the trucks will leave with the tarp system. So I see no no dust coming off this place at all in there. And it's in the middle of really in the middle of nowhere. So there's nobody much around us to uh to complain. That's one reason it was picked. The is minimal. The dust is non-existent. So, um, and it is a certified green project. So, um, that's my proposal and I appreciate your consideration.

1:03:51 – 1:04:32•0

Mr. Smith, before you sit down, I know you said that there was not that many people around, but what about the um, mobile home park and the people that live in the mobile home park down below that with the dust? And I've got the blue line on here and it shows the the traffic pattern straight to 441. It will go down the old shop building road there and come out and bypass all all live. So we're going out the back way. You're not coming to 112. We're not going, you know, through where all the mobile home parks are. Okay. So you don't expect any of the dust to sift that in that direction? No much.

1:04:30 – 1:05:15•0

Okay. Does anybody else have any questions for Scott? Which building? The procurement warehouse. Isn't that the warehouse at the procurement? You said Frank Scott. The old Frank Scott state prison. State prison. The entire Frank Scott or just a portion of Frank Scott? Just a portion of Frank Scott. Do you know which one? You might want to show them the map. Yeah, we could. Yeah. Is it Scott Kemper or England? Which which one is it? Here's here's the Scott buildings here and this is Keer down here. Which one of you? Neither one of them. Okay. So, I bought the land in and around that from the development authority or this is the old gymnasium if you might be familiar with that.

1:05:14 – 1:05:52•0

And that's going to be warehouse number one. And then we'll build additional as time in demand lots. Okay. Where's my cemetery at? Your cemetery is right here. Okay. Down there. Yes, ma'am. All right. Thank you. have that map on a smaller scale that we can I think it was in the permanent application. I think I saw it through Yes. Okay. We're calling the whole place a Renaissance warehouse and distribution recycling center.

1:05:49 – 1:06:25•0

Okay. So, so what once we get set up and going, what what's what's your plan? of what we be storing in the warehouse on super sacks of processed cow which is an inert mineral. Um one thing I forgot to mention uh we we expect a minimum 25 employees as it will be a 24hour warehousing soon. So not 24 one time but two shifts. Two shifts. Okay. Okay. It's always good to know that new jobs are coming.

1:06:23 – 1:07:08•0

Yeah. Mr. Smith, um, also with the tarping system, you said that is it a standard tarping of your trucks that will be covering the material if necessary. They all have tarps and if there's anything per DOT regulations that any dust is coming off of, they should talk. A lot of them have electric tarps and the rest of them have hand crank tarps that go over like this. Okay. So not the manual, not the plastic tarpons. Yeah, these are permanent tarps attached to the truck [snorts] as necessary from any debris from getting on the road and dust. Okay. We don't want to lose our strength. Right. Right.

1:07:08 – 1:07:50•0

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank y'all. Is there anyone present who wish to speak in opposition to the amendment? Did you give his address? Yes. Okay. Is there anyone who would like to speak in opposition? Are there any more questions or comments from council? Well, this concludes the presentation of evidence in this public hearing. Is there a motion?

Uh, there was one uh person in in opposition to the um to the proposal. She was u complaint about additional traffic. The board decided that there the business would not have an adverse effect on the traffic. Um the vote pass unanimously five to zero. Uh are there any questions? And uh later on today, the applicant notified my office that she wanted to withdraw her application for consideration. And I have a letter right here. The applicant uh respectfully is requesting to withdraw reszoning application without prejudice. This will allow, according to her, will allow her time to take additional time to review feedback and continue working with city staff before returning at a later date. And that's Lisa Khan. Let's be part of the record. Okay. So she is asking uh that you allow her to withdraw her application without prejudice, meaning that uh she would not be held to uh the restrictions in the land development code uh that would require her not to be able to submit a new application uh before I think six months. So without prejudice

1:11:22 – 1:11:57•0

uh would free her up to be able to to come back when she decided to do so. Okay. So um hearing that we would um I we would ask for a motion to accept her request. Yeah.
