Discussion and Possible Action to Appoint Municipal Court Officers - City
Manager Billy Peppers
Attachments:
Mr. Peppers noted the Council needed to formally approve court officers. The
municipal court judge is a two year term by statute and the recommendation was
to reappoint Tom Roach. The remaining court officers are for the calendar year
and were recommended to be Jeff Rusbridge (Chief Solicitor), Laura Derrick
(Solicitor), Audrey Conley (Solicitor), Seth Stroud (Solicitor), Chris Bishop
(Public Defender). Mr. Roach recused himself from the discussion and action as
Tom Roach is a relative.

Discussion and Possible Action of Resurfacing Intergovernmental Agreement
with Cherokee County - Operations Manager Kelly Pendley
Attachments:
Ms. Pendley noted the City is scheduled to receive $471,270.85 in additional LRA
funds, which do not require a match. The City is partnering with Cherokee
County on a multi agency bid and paving project which makes a more
competitive bid and lowers mobilization fees. The City proposes to have 1.774
miles resurfaced on the following streets that were next in the list under the
pavement management process: Woodbury Lane, Market Court, Market Lane,
Ridgewood Lane, Parkview Drive, Racquet Drive, Arbor Court, Green Street,
Founders Court, Riverpoint Parkway, Cannon Street, Woodland Way, Edge Hill
Court. Pendley requested approval of the agreement to move the work forward.
Mayor Grant asked about the total amount. Peppers noted that the estimate for
these streets is slightly under the amount received but the balance will
supplement phase 1 paving.
Mr. Tolan moved to approve the IGA at $463,569.47. Mr. Johnson seconded the
motion. The motion passed unanimously.
