Ethics panel pursues hearing City Council member accused of partiality

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — An ethics panel agreed June 30 to schedule a hearing to settle a claim that Milton City Councilman Paul Moore improperly voted on a matter involving his neighborhood.

The issue goes back to a May 2 Milton City Council meeting in which Moore voted to defer a decision relating to a matter in his own neighborhood. At issue was whether the city should sign an agreement with the White Columns Homeowners Association so the HOA could recoup half of its expenses for traffic calming devices installed in the neighborhood.

Tony Palazzo filed the ethics complaint against Moore on May 6. Palazzo, who is

the president of the White Columns HOA, filed the complaint as a resident of Milton, not in his official capacity with the HOA. The meeting on June 30 was an initial review of the city’s ethics ordinance, Palazzo’s complaint and Moore’s response to determine if there was sufficient substantiated evidence to support a reasonable belief that there had been a violation.

ATLANTA, Ga.—Fulton County Schools is one year into an ambitious three-year program to get students back on academic track after the COVID-19 pandemic.

With reams of research showing student achievement lagged during the nearly two-year span of the pandemic, district officials are confident the gap can close by 2024.

“While there are some successes, we have a lot of work to close the achievement gap which has widened,” said Fulton Schools’ Chief Information Officer Brian Noyes. “Our continued implementation of [academic interventions] aim to support all students in the district and initiate new programs to close these gaps in the future.”

Last spring, Fulton Schools launched the “Bridge to Success” plan which consists of several strate-

All crime reports published by Appen Media Group are compiled from public records. Neither the law enforcement agencies nor Appen Media Group implies any guilt by publishing these names. None of the persons listed has been convicted of the alleged crimes.

Homeowner reports damage to back door MILTON, Ga. –– Police responded to a forced burglary call June 25 on Providence Road.

The homeowner said the basement back door had been smashed with a rock and then opened. A glass pane door had also been smashed open. The victim said nothing appeared to be out of place and nothing was reported missing.

The homeowner told police he’d heard a noise early morning June 24 but did not think to look at what the noise might’ve been, so he went back to bed.

Woman freezes accounts after attempted fraud MILTON, Ga. –– A Milton woman notified police June 25 about fraudulent charges on her accounts stemming from a possible computer service scam.

The victim told police she had received an email identifying itself as from Geek Squad at Best Buy notifying

PUBLIC SAFETY her she’d been charged $425 for a year of service. When she called the billing company to dispute the charge, a representative advised her that he would take care of her account.

The representative said he got permission from the victim to remote control her computer to look at her accounts and then found another charge of $600 on her account. She then entered the amount she needed credit for ¬– $600 – and the computer updated to display she now owed $6,000.

The victim called iBank Financial Credit Union and her accounts were locked down.

She intends to press charges if the suspect is caught.

Woman reports harrassment after canceled food order MILTON, Ga. –– A Milton woman reported receiving explicit messages June 25 after she canceled an online order to a local pizza shop. The victim reported the incident June 26.

She told police she had ordered food, but because of extended delivery delay, she canceled the order.

Later the same evening, she said, she received some strange and explicit text messages.

The victim told police she was worried about her and her children’s safety

since her address was on the order she’d made and canceled.

Police advised her to send a text back to the number to cease communications or she would contact the police.

Milton man reports alterations made to check MILTON, Ga. –– A Milton man reported forgery of his electric bill check June 25, after he consulted his bank to find the wrong amount had been paid out – a $2,000 difference.

The victim told police he’d made a payment to his electrical company, but he was notified later that he never paid his bill.

The victim then called his bank – Truist – to confirm the check of $6,000 he sent to Sawnee EMC June 2. His bank told him the check cleared but it was $8,000 instead of the initial payment of $6,000 he had recorded. The victim said he thinks the check he sent was stolen and washed. The listed check said it was made out to a woman he did not know.

The victim said his bank plans to investigate and there are four additional check he sent out the same day that did not make their way to the proper destinations.

He canceled the four outstanding checks and opened a different account.

Charges dropped for Alpharetta man bitten by police K-9

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — All charges have been dropped against Travis Moya, who was bitten by an Alpharetta K-9 outside his home last summer.

Melissa Roth, senior assistant district attorney for Fulton County, filed an order for nolle prosequi on June 2, saying the State of Georgia believed a jury would find “insufficient evidence” to support a finding of guilt.

Moya was indicted on April 14 for

three counts of felony willful obstruction of law enforcement officers and one count of misdemeanor obstruction of law enforcement.

According to the initial incident report, Moya’s wife called 911 on July 25, 2021, requesting an ambulance, because she wasn’t sure if her husband had taken something. Rather than responding to a “mental health call,” about five Alpharetta police officers were dispatched to a “domestic disturbance.”

When officers arrived at the home, the situation escalated, and Moya was

allegedly brought to the ground, subdued and handcuffed. Family members say K-9 Ares then bit Moya, but from the start, they insisted Moya was not resisting.

The report states the police dog eventually let go of Moya’s upper left arm, leaving “large amounts of blood and fatty tissue coming out of the wound.” Moya also allegedly suffered a concussion from the incident.

Judge in probe also served Milton court

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The City of Alpharetta is launching an investigation into the ethics of Barry Zimmerman, the retiring chief judge of Alpharetta Municipal Court and former chief judge of the Milton Municipal Court.

Zimmerman was chief judge in Milton for eight years, from around the city’s 2006 incorporation until 2014, when he was appointed as Alpharetta’s chief judge. His position in Alpharetta was part-time, however, and City of Milton spokesman Greg Botelho said Zimmerman continued to fill in on the city’s court when another judge was unavailable.

Botelho said Zimmerman presided over the Milton court five times in 2021, and just once in 2022 on March 21. Zimmerman also previously presided in Roswell’s municipal court, but city spokeswoman Julie Brechbill said he has not worked in Roswell for around 15 years. In addition to his work on North Fulton’s municipal courts, Zimmerman has also served on

the Fulton County Magistrate Court.

Alpharetta’s examination into Zimmerman’s conduct aims to uncover the results of a previous investigation by the Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission, which investigates and prosecutes allegations of judicial misconduct.

On June 9, Zimmerman announced in a letter to Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin that he would retire effective July 1 “due to personal reasons.” The next day, the Judicial Qualifications Commission filed a report with the Supreme Court of Georgia stating it found reasonable cause to believe Zimmerman had been “improperly involved” in several of his cases on the city court, including involving himself in cases that he should have recused himself from.

The report states that the commission will not bring formal charges against Zimmerman provided that he retires from his position in Alpharetta and does not seek any judicial office in the future.

Alpharetta City Attorney Molly Esswein said the city was not aware of the state agency’s investigation until the

ZIMMERMAN

day the report was filed.

Judicial Qualifications Commission Director Chuck Boring said the commission does not publicly release information on its investigations until formal charges are filed. In cases like Zimmerman’s, in which a consent agreement is reached and charges are not filed at all, only the report filed with the Georgia Supreme Court is released to the public.

City officials say they have no information on the case against Zimmerman beyond that report, but they plan to learn more about what prompted

the investigation and what evidence it turned up. Zimmerman served his final session as a judge on June 23, though he is still technically contracted with the city until July 1.

The resolution authorizing the investigation, which the Alpharetta City Council unanimously approved June 27, states that a city-issued tablet Zimmerman was given “appeared to have been factory reset” when he returned it to the city. The resolution tasks City Administrator Bob Regus to hire a third-party entity to investigate Zimmerman’s case and use “all available and lawful means” to recover any data wiped from the tablet.

“This is an action on your City Council to make sure that the integrity of our judicial branch of government in Alpharetta is functioning at the highest ethical standards,” Councilman Doug DeRito said. “I personally hope any findings of this investigation highlight the high integrity of our judicial branch… anything less than that would be extremely disturbing to me as an elected official and as a resident of this city.”

Alpharetta, Milton offer settlement with former solicitor

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The cities of Alpharetta and Milton have offered to pay their former solicitor $25,000 to settle all claims that she was passed over to fill the position because of her age and race.

The cities deny any wrongdoing.

Fran Shoenthal McQueen served as the solicitor of Alpharetta and Milton for close to 20 years. But, in April, Kelsie Mattox was sworn into office following an intergovernmental agreement between both cities to further strengthen their bond. Alpharetta and Milton already share court facilities and a municipal clerk.

Appen Media obtained a copy of the cities’ 9-page response to McQueen’s demand letter sent on June 24. The cities are being represented by Kenneth Robin with the law firm Jarrard and Davis.

The response rejects McQueen’s demand for lost back pay and benefits from the date she was terminated or not hired, reinstatement or front pay, compensatory damages for emotional distress and loss of reputation, puni-

tive damages and/or liquidated damages, and costs and attorneys’ fees.

It disputes McQueen’s claims that she was entitled to her position through Dec. 31, 2025, because the Alpharetta City Charter states it is tied to that of the judge of the Alpharetta Municipal Court. On Jan. 1, Judge Barry Zimmerman began another four-year term; however, he has since retired to resolve an investigation against him for possible ethical lapses.

The response states that under the Alpharetta City Charter, the solicitor’s term is “at the discretion of the mayor and City Council, and McQueen’s employment as Milton Solicitor was “unquestionably at-will.”

Because McQueen was classified as an independent contractor in Alpharetta, the response states the city did not control how she performed her solicitor duties, withheld no monies from her payments for taxes or Social Security, did not require her to work 40 hours per week, did not maintain a personnel file for her or prevent her from practicing law in other jurisdictions when court was not in session.

In fact, the response states, the cities’ efforts to hire a new, full-time

solicitor were to eliminate their “persession” compensation methodology.

It states that as of the beginning of 2022, McQueen’s annual aggregated compensation was between $180,000 and $190,000 for less than 30 hours of work per week.

“Through the establishment of a full-time solicitor position,” it states, “… the cities hoped to achieve operating efficiencies where the solicitor could focus on moving cases along to a point where the number of court sessions per week was reduced (as opposed to continuing with the existing solicitor model and structure that disincentivized that type of operating efficiency because the compensation structure was directly tied to the number of court sessions that occurred).”

The response also calls McQueen’s claims that her replacement, Mattox, was unqualified to fill the position “dubious,” saying that in the same job posting that was referenced in the demand letter, it states that “any combination of education and experience sufficient to successfully perform the essential functions of the job qualifies.”

“That language will not be ignored by the EEOC or any court if the threat-

ened claims are pursued and rebuts the argument that Ms. Mattox ‘failed to meet the minimum qualifications’ or is somehow an illegitimate choice to fill the position solely because she had nearly four years as a member of the State Bar of Georgia instead of five when chosen to fill the position,” it states.

Mattox, it states, actually provided six character references to the City of Alpharetta from citizens. Four members of the State Bar of Georgia also “highly recommended” Mattox by providing statements “praising her legal reputation and proficiency.”

Lastly, the response states, the fact that McQueen is white, and Mattox is black is an inadequate foundation to assert that any kind of Title VII race discrimination exists.

“Tellingly, your letter is devoid of any recitation or direct, circumstantial or any other type of competent evidence that would support McQueen being able to succeed in demonstrating that the hiring of Mattox was a product of intentional race discrimination,” it states.

As of June 30, McQueen’s attorney had not yet responded to the cities’ offer.

ROSWELL, Ga. — Christopher Martini, a rising senior from the Cottage School in Roswell, has been selected to attend the 2022 Georgia Governor’s Honors Program hosted at Berry College in Rome, Georgia, this summer.

GHP is a residential summer program for gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors. Selection is based on a combination of ability and interest and is highly competitive.

This is the 59th consecutive summer of GHP, making it the longest running Governor’s School in the nation.

Over 3,200 students were nominated at the state level, with nearly 1,400

competing as semifinalists in late February. Of those students, 641 were chosen as finalists, while 112 were chosen as alternatives. The students come from 205 different high schools across Georgia.

Martini will now embark on a fourweek intensive study program that focuses on Social Sciences, an area he is passionate about.

Complaint: Continued from Page 1 Local attorneys Samuel Pierce, Charles Pollack and Ron Debranski sat on the panel, with Pierce serving as the chair and Pollack as vice-chair. City Attorney Ken Jarrard said the members were placed on the panel because they have an understanding of due process and how to read and interpret ordinances.

In the complaint, Palazzo accuses Moore of committing seven ethics violations. He states that because Moore lives on White Columns Drive, where three of the four signs are located, he stands to be financially affected by the installation and maintenance costs.

Palazzo also alleges that Moore is an active participant in a homeowners group that dissents from the HOA on several issues and acts as a dual representative of that group’s views by “misusing” his role as a public official.

Additionally, Palazzo says Moore should have disclosed his alleged conflict and abstained from participating and voting on matters about White Columns.

Moore denies the allegations and calls the charge an attempt at intimidation.

In his response, issued June 8, Moore stated that the complaint should be dismissed because of the Anti-SLAPP, or Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation, statute.

The statute says it is in the public interest to encourage participation by citizens in matters of public significance and that such participation should not be chilled through the abuse of process.

But, the panel said on June 30, the statute does not apply because Moore is an elected official.

The panel also took issue with the fact that it took Moore approximately 45 minutes into the discussion at the May 2 City Council meeting to publicly disclose that he lives in White Columns and that one of the traffic calming devices is near

While he had asked City Manager Steven Krokoff whether there was a conflict of interest with him voting on the matter before the meeting, the panel said they think Moore should have asked the city attorney instead because Krokoff also lives in White Columns.

The city’s ethics ordinance, the panel said, calls on elected officials to avoid the appearance of impropriety and to publicly disclose any financial and personal interests.

The panel agreed to give Moore and his attorneys 15 days to file a response to Palazzo’s reply, which he filed with the city on June 15. Jarrard said the rules only require the initial complaint and response to be considered, but that it was up to the panel to decide if they wanted the other documents.

As of June 30, Moore and his attorneys had not yet seen Palazzo’s response.

Debranski said he thinks they should be a part of the record.

“I just don’t see any problem with disseminating the information, whether it’s useful or whatever it’s intended to be a part of the record,” Debranski said.

Roswell calls special election to replace Zapata

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — The City of Roswell plans to hold a special election in November to replace Councilman Marcelo Zapata, who has been away from his post all year for medical reasons.

Mayor Kurt Wilson said he started hearing rumors about Zapata in December 2021, while the previous administration was still in office. Once he was sworn in on Jan. 2, he reached out to Zapata’s wife, who informed him that she did not know if he would be able to return to his post but that it was a possibility.

Following that conversation, Wilson said he met with the City Council and recommended they give Zapata a six-month medical leave of absence. Recently, Wilson said he reached back out to Zapata’s wife, and she said she didn’t think Zapata would be returning to serve out the remainder of his term.

Wilson said he intends to announce at the July 11 City Council meeting that Zapata’s seat will be on the ballot in November. The city also plans to hold a celebration for Zapata at the July 25 City Council meeting. It will release a formal announcement in the coming days.

“I know a lot of people aren’t happy about it, but I think we’ve handled it exactly the way anybody else would have wanted us to handle it if they knew the facts at hand,” Wilson said in a phone interview Monday.

Wilson said Zapata’s wife has asked

City Attorney David Davidson to help draft his resignation letter.

In Roswell, each member of the City Council is elected to one of six posts and serves at large, meaning they represent the city and not just one district. Each member is also assigned to represent the council as a liaison to a city department every year.

Zapata was first elected to Post 1 in 2015 and is currently the liaison to the Environmental/Public Works Department.

His term ends Dec. 31, 2023.

Appen Media obtained copies of Zapata’s check history and meeting attendance records from November 2021 to June 2022 through an open records request.

The documents confirm that Zapata’s last meeting with the city was Nov. 8, 2021.

But, from Nov. 5, 2021, to May 6, 2022, the City of Roswell paid Zapata $10,716.44.

While absent from meetings through late November, all of December and the middle part of January, Zapata’s first excused absence was Jan. 24. That was two weeks after Wilson and three new members were sworn in on the City Council.

In February, Wilson temporarily killed a resolution to change the city charter in ways that would have given him, rather than the city administrator, authority over department heads and altered the hiring and firing process for key positions within the city, like city manager, city clerk and city attorney.

An earlier version of the resolution also proposed changing how City Council

Mayor Kurt Wilson told Appen Media June 28 that the city plans to hold a special election to replace Zapata on the City Council in November. vacancies could be filled. But, Wilson later issued a statement saying he had been wrong to not seek public input before introducing the measure, and he would abandon any effort to pursue giving the mayor authority to fill a City Council vacancy rather than holding a special election.

By law, city charters cannot be changed without receiving an endorsement from the Georgia General Assembly.

Since February, the Roswell City Council has approved a request by Verizon to expand its existing data center in Alpharetta into Roswell, approved another

$3 million for the Oxbo Road realignment project, hired an economic development director and named individuals to the new Roswell Development Authority and Transportation Advisory Commission.

The City Council also recently adopted a $173 million budget for fiscal year 2023, which includes a pay increase for police officers and initial funding for a full-time fire department. In May, the City Council voted unanimously to ban the construction of new standalone apartments.

All passed with Zapata absent.

New law set to bring delivery robots to Georgia

By DAVE WILLIAMS Capitol Beat ATLANTA — Two ATLANTA – Georgia is about to embark on a new form of transportation technology that fits the needs of the era of e-commerce.

Legislation the General Assembly passed this year authorizes “personal delivery devices,” better known as delivery robots to ply the state’s highways and sidewalks.

House Bill 1009, which cleared the Georgia House of Representatives and Senate overwhelmingly, sets out regulations governing delivery robots, including where and when they can operate and at what speeds, weight limits, and penalties for violators.

“If we’re letting robots on the streets, we need to have requirements for them,” said state Rep. Todd Jones, RSouth Forsyth, the bill’s sponsor.

Without rules in place for delivery

robots, the technology has seen limited use in Georgia. But that may be about to change.

Atlanta-based Chick-fil-A announced plans late last month to test delivery robots at a limited number of restaurants in Florida, Texas and California.

“Two-thirds of my business is delivery,” said Luke Steigmeyer, operator of a Chick-fil-A in Austin, Texas, that already is deploying delivery robots in partnership with an Austin-based autonomous delivery company.

“The autonomous vehicles have been instrumental in growing awareness of delivery at my restaurant, allowing us to reach even more customers in the area.”

Delivery robots are equipped with artificial intelligence systems and advanced depth-perception cameras that allow them to navigate traffic patterns, avoid pedestrians and maneuver through car and bicycle lanes as well as sidewalks.

Insulated to keep food at the right temperature, the robots keep customers updated on their progress via text messages as they navigate to the designated drop-off spot.

Under the new Georgia law, delivery robots will be permitted to operate on non-limited access highways with speed limits of 45 miles an hour or less, and at no more than 20 miles an hour when on sidewalks with at least a 4-foot path for persons with disabilities.

They can weigh no more than 500 pounds when empty and 600 pounds when carrying cargo and emit a sound when they come within 6 feet of another vehicle, a person on foot or someone in a wheelchair.

Local governments will be allowed to set hours of operation for delivery robots and prohibit them operating on the grounds of schools, hospitals, or sidewalks adjacent to stadiums, colise-

ums, or government buildings.

Cities and counties also can restrict the robots to certain geographical areas of their communities.

While violations will not be treated as criminal offenses, they will be subject to a civil penalty of up to $500.

Jones said easing the way for businesses to use delivery robots in Georgia is one way state policymakers can show corporate prospects the Peach State is technology friendly.

“We continue to flex the envelope so industry sees Georgia as a great place to ‘sandbox’ ideas,” he said.

“This is the type of legislation that says, ‘This isn’t just a great place to do business. We’re going to work with you to get to the outer limits of innovation.’”

The Development Authority of Fulton County livestreams its June 28 meeting, in which it approved a $75 million tax break for a new Boston Scientific location to come to Johns Creek.

Medical manufacturer eyes plant in Johns Creek

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Massachusetts-based medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific is expanding into Johns Creek.

The company produces, designs and develops medical devices and procedures for specialized health care providers. It has facilities and headquarters across the U.S., Europe, Central America, Asia and South Africa.

The Development Authority of Fulton County gave final approval June 28

to a $75 million revenue bond for the facility that will provide the company a 10-year property tax abatement on its new plant. Until Tuesday, the Development Authority referred to the Boston Scientific development under the codename “Project Lemon Lime.”

Boston Scientific already has a presence in Alpharetta, and its new Johns Creek facility will be at the former State Farm campus on Johns Creek Parkway, adjacent to a newly planned mixed-use development headed by Avalon developer Mark Toro’s company.

Gov. Brian Kemp’s office announced the new facility Tuesday afternoon, saying it represents a $62.5 million investment from the company and will bring about 340 new jobs to Fulton County.

“As home to some of the leading universities and technical colleges in the country, Georgia produces top talent for growing fields like the life sciences industry,” Kemp stated. “I look forward to seeing the impact of this expansion here in Georgia and far beyond as they keep the Peach State on the cutting edge of medical science.”

Fulton County Director of Economic Development Samir Abdullahi said the facility’s announcement gives Fulton County “the opportunity to say we stole bio life sciences out of Boston.” He said the project was a great win for Johns Creek and would help vitalize the city’s Town Center project.

Former Johns Creek Mayor Mike Bodker, who now serves as the Development Authority’s treasurer, said he and Mayor John Bradberry are extremely excited to welcome Boston Scientific to the city.

Cumming rings in next phase of City Center

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com CUMMING, Ga. — The City of Cumming held a community gathering June to ring in the next phase of construction for its City Center development on Canton Highway.

Though Mayor Troy Brumbalow cut the ribbon on the project, the 75-acre City Center project is far from complete. Friday’s ceremony signified the end of the city’s construction on the project and the beginning of tenant business buildouts.

Brumbalow was joined in the ceremony by community leaders such as State Rep. Lauren McDonald, First Baptist Church Pastor Bob Jolly and Forsyth Central High School Principal Josh Lowe. In the midst of his reelection campaign, Gov. Brian Kemp also joined in the festivities.

“This is a special day here in Cumming and all of Forsyth County, and really throughout this whole region of our state,” Kemp said. “We know that [people] will come from miles away to enjoy all the City Center has to offer, and when they leave, they’ll know why Cumming is such a special place.”

The City Center, which the city credits Brumbalow for devising, is planned to contain more than 115,000 square feet of retail space, a new Cumming Police and municipal court building, a trail and boardwalk system, a golf putting course and more community space. The city held the ribbon cutting in the new Lou Sobh Amphitheater, an outdoor anchor of the City Center.

The project faced a major challenge since it broke ground in August 2019: the unexpected onset of the pandemic. Brumbalow and Kemp both praised the city’s perseverance in continuing the project amid the complications.

“This project, I’ve kind of likened it to a woman having a three-year labor and trying to deliver an elephant,” Brumbalow said. “As hard as you want to push and push, you just can’t quite get it there.

But we are getting very close. The team is working hard every day.”

Businesses set to come to the City Center include Simple Man Distillery, Good Vibes Nutrition, Juke N Jive Creamery and Good Chemistry Health & Med-Spa. A full list can be found on the city’s website.

Alpharetta rejects high-density residential project

By JAKE DRUKMAN jake@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — The Alpharetta City Council voted 5-1 June 27 to reject a proposed high-density residential development just off a Ga. 400 on-ramp.

The development, proposed by Atlanta-based Beazer Homes and named Water Oak Township, would have consisted of 43 for-sale townhomes on 6.2 acres at Haynes Bridge Road and Rock Mill Road, on the parcel just south of the highway on-ramp.

Beazer Homes requested a rezoning of the parcel from corporate office to high-density residential to accommodate the plan. It also requested an amendment to the city’s comprehensive land use plan, which designated the parcel be used for commercial purposes.

The parcel also falls into the city’s North Point character overlay, and the applicant requested variances to overlay regulations so the townhomes could be 42 feet tall, while buildings in the overlay are usually capped at 35 feet.

City staff recommended the City Council approve the application sub-

A representative of Beazer Homes presents the Alpharetta City Council with details on a proposed residential development off a Ga. 400 on-ramp June 27. The council rejected the development 5-1. ject to conditions, but council members were reluctant to grant exceptions to the city’s land use plans. They also took issue with the lack of walkability in the proposed development, saying it would provide no connectivity with the coming North Point redevelopment.

“What sets [Alpharetta] apart is that we have a land use plan, and we follow it unless there is a compelling case to deviate from it,” Councilman John Hipes said. “When it was disclosed that walkability is not going to be the primary motivator here… for me, any sem-

blance of a compelling case was lost.”

Councilman Donald Mitchell cast the sole vote in favor of the development.

“The entire North Point eco-overlay district, which was supported by this council, spoke of how critical it is to add residential to the mall area,” Mitchell said in a note to the Alpharetta-Roswell Herald. “We had a chance to add 43 for-sale homes to support reviving that area. North Point will not survive without adding residential, and new corporations will not continue to locate here without having more workforce

housing.”

Mayor Pro Tem Dan Merkel was absent from the meeting.

In other business at the June 27 City Council meeting, after a nearly 90-minute executive session near the meeting’s end, the City Council reconvened its public meeting and approved a contract extension for City Administrator Bob Regus. Regus was initially set to retire on June 30, but will now remain with the city until Aug. 7, the day before incoming City Administrator Chris Lagerbloom assumes his position.

ment conducted a review of the interaction, including all the audio and video recordings and officer statements, it determined there was no violation of departmental policy or federal or state law.

In a statement emailed to the Herald Aug. 9, 2021, Alpharetta Police Chief John Robison said he stood by his officers’ decisions and that they had followed the necessary use of force standards by peace officers.

The June 2 order filed by Roth states Alpharetta police officers M. Esposito, J. Frudden and C. Benfield have been informed about the nolle prosequi.

Alpharetta Assistant City Administrator James Drinkard told Appen Media in an email June 28 Benfield remains an Alpharetta police officer, but Esposito and Frudden “voluntarily separated from employment with the city.” Drinkard declined to provide any further comment.

A lawsuit against the department is still pending.

One of Moya’s attorneys, L. Chris Stewart, issued a statement on June 29 saying they are pleased the charges have been dismissed, but that there is still “much work to be done to ensure that Mr. Moya receives the justice he deserves.”

“All too often an individual’s character is assassinated and months or years later charges are dropped or dismissed,” Stewart stated. “But the damage to Mr. Moya has already been done. We are working now in the civil courts to ensure that Mr. Moya’s voice is heard and pray that the district attorney will hold that officer accountable.”

gic goals to reach in three years. Those targets include learning recovery from the COVID-19 disruption, obtaining the highest growth averages among Atlanta Metro area students, and earning high marks from stakeholders, such as parents and teachers, with the district’s performance.

The overarching goal, noted Noyes, is to directly address the impact of the pandemic on lost instruction and learning, and also ensure the safety of students, staff and families.

While the Bridge program is embedded into the daily curriculum of schools, including after school and weekend programs, services also extend into the summer. Last year nearly 20,000 students received summer school instruction. This summer, the district expects to have approximately 15,000 students learning in-person and virtually.

Federal funds support program

Funding for the Bridge to Success program comes almost exclusively from federal COVID relief funding provided to schools under three rounds of disbursements. In total, Fulton County Schools received $262 million, making it one of the largest recipients among Georgia school districts.

“Our district, like many others across the country, and around the world, has faced unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19,” Chief Financial Officer Marvin Dereef said. “Fortunately, the federal government has made funds available to help us mitigate the learning loss [and] ensures our ability to put resources in

place to help all our students.”

Based on the plan submitted to the Georgia Department of Education, Fulton Schools expects to direct nearly all of the funding to programs and people who are supporting the Bridge to Success program and related instructional needs.

With one year of the Bridge program complete, and the second year underway, district officials are in the process of gathering input on its impact.

Officials look for trends

Results from the state-mandated Georgia Milestones testing are expected to be released soon which will contain information on student achievement. The information will not present a clear picture of pre- and post-pandemic because the state waived participation requirements the past two years. However the data should show trends within specific student groups.

The continuation of virtual instruction will likely be an issue the district will address in the coming years.

Extensive research conducted by Georgia State University concluded in-person instruction was the key to academic achievement.

Last year Fulton Schools opened an all-virtual school, FAVE, for students and parents who preferred online learning. The future of that program is being reviewed.

“We have seen positive and negative trends at FAVE as we work with our staff and families to adopt this new environment and model,” Noyes said. “Plans are underway to sharpen instruction, student engagement, and parental participation so we can achieve the results we know we are capable of.”

Children’s Development Academy receives highest state quality rating ROSWELL, Ga. — Roswell nonprofit child care center Children’s Development Academy has received a three star quality rating from the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning for 2022.

Three stars is the highest possible quality rating for a child care provider, and only 10 percent of the nearly 4,500 eligible centers receive the distinction.

Children’s Development Academy has maintained its perfect ranking since 2015.

“We are so incredibly proud to once again be awarded a Three Star Quality Rating,” academy CEO and Execu-

tive Director Maggie DeCan said. “As a nonprofit preschool serving low-income families in our community, it is especially important to us that we are providing the highest quality early education possible. The Three Star Quality Rating is a testament to our teachers and school staff who wholeheartedly give their best to our kids every day.”

The academy has provided child care and education to children whose parents may not otherwise be able to afford it since 1967. The nonprofit now serves up to 200 children between the ages of 1 and 5.

Gov. Brian Kemp issued a letter

congratulating the academy, noting the important role early childhood education plays in a child’s later life. Fulton County School Board member Katha Stuart praised the academy for its service to the community.

“Fulton County is fortunate to have the Children’s Development Academy in our community”, Stuart said. “The high quality early education that they provide to at-risk children helps ensure all kids start kindergarten with the tools they need to be successful, which benefits not only those children, but our entire school community.”

Industry innovators take on new roles

Brought to you by - Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties

After 37 dedicated years in the real estate business, Dan Forsman will be taking on a new role as Chairman of market-leading brokerage, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Georgia Properties. This decision was not made lightly, and it didn’t happen overnight.

In fact, Forsman has been preparing for this day for years; mentoring the Georgia Properties team and guiding them with his acquired - and extensive - industry knowledge.

Last year was a record-breaking year at Georgia Properties. In 2021, the firm closed $5.2 billion in sales, and is on track to do even better in 2022.

Currently, Georgia Properties has over 1,500 Georgia Properties sales associates and 29 office locations with plans to continue expansion throughout Georgia.

“It’s because of the extraordinary prosperity and growth of the company that we’re able to enter this new chapter of our story,” Forsman said.

Leading the way is DeAnn Golden, who takes the helm at the company as Georgia Properties President and Chief Executive Officer. Golden has been with the brokerage since 2004, but she’s been in real estate for more than 26 years. She’s a secondgeneration real estate professional who has taken on

many roles in our industry that have prepared her for this one.

“DeAnn is a fierce advocate for transformational change, a brilliant communicator but even more so, an exquisite listener,” Forsman noted. “And when she listens, she really hears you.”

Golden’s passion for Georgia Properties sales associates is exceeded only by her commitment to seeing every person at the brokerage succeed. When asked what makes the company so different from all the others, Golden delivered an answer that encapsulates her human-centric leadership style: “We care.”

In addition to Golden, Kathy Connelly will assume the role of Chief Operating Officer, and will lead Georgia Properties’ mortgage, title and insurance initiatives as well as continue to champion relocation and the property management business.

Connelly joined the company in 1994 and held the positions of Relocation Director, Senior Vice President and most recently Qualifying Broker. She has been recognized globally for her relocation excellence and was recently appointed to the Worldwide ERC Board of Directors.

Lori Lane will be President of Georgia Properties’ New Homes Division and Executive Strategist for Luxury Collection and Global Living. She joined the company in 2006 as Director of New Homes. As President, she will continue to lead the growth and

development of the New Homes Division, where she and her team have won hundreds of GAHBA Obie awards for their homebuilding clients. In 2015, she launched the iconic, award-winning Black and White Luxury Collection look and campaign, and has continued to grow the brand’s luxury real estate marketing presence.

Todd Tucker will become Executive Vice President for Real Estate Brokerage and Qualifying Broker.

Todd joined the firm in 1997 and has had many roles over the course of his career including Top Sales Associate, Assistant Broker, Managing Broker and most recently, Senior Vice President of Operations.

Mary Wargula will step into an expanded role as Senior Vice President of Brokerage Offices and Regional Manager, along with her continued leadership as Managing Broker of the North Fulton/Alpharetta office. Mary will lead Regional and Managing Brokers in continuing to support agent growth throughout their careers. Janet Mauldin is being promoted to Senior Vice President of Corporate Relocation, eager to bring Georgia Properties’ relocation business to the next level of success.

As Forsman described: “These leaders are capable and ready, a team of industry innovators who will allow us to balance our nearly six decades as a market leader with fresh perspectives and continued progress.”

Can the pace of home remodeling continue?

Brought to you by - Remodeling Expo Center Throughout 2021 home remodeling seemed virtually unaffected by the Covid pandemic. Home sales continue to be robust, but the pace of home remodeling is even greater. New home buyers tend to remodel as soon as they move into their new home, but the remodeling craze seems to apply to everyone. “Our Kitchen and Bathroom remodeling business has experienced a 75% year over year increase” says John Hogan, president of Remodeling Expo Center, “and we don’t see any slowdown in sight”.

There’s been a rapid change to supply chains in our entire economy and while some businesses are suffering, others are prospering. Demand for products and services are at record levels and businesses are required to re-think their supply chain from end to end; those businesses that creatively maneuver around the supply chain issues are

prospering.

“Last year we re-focused all of our purchasing to those suppliers with local inventory, so we get instant access to products, then we diverted custom built products to smaller, more nimble suppliers, and finally we began to inventory some items so our remodeling jobs could get started faster and eliminate job progress interruptions.

These changes weren’t easy but without them we couldn’t be in the hyper-growth mode that we’re presently experiencing, says Bobbie Kohm, Vice President of Remodeling Expo Center, “Turnkey Design-Build companies, like us, keep the process very simple”.

Low interest rates are going to be around for a long time and investment in our homes is likely to continue. For more information on Remodeling Expo Center (RemodelingExpo.com), contact them at their showroom at 48 King Street in Roswell or at 404-910-3969.

Choosing the right material for your Exterior Shutters Brought to you by - Dupbel Millworks, Inc. Shutters can make or break the curb appeal of a house and it is important to consider the different materials that shutters are made of. Prices will vary considerably between the different materials and each will have its own positives and negatives.

Let’s take a look at the 4 main ones.

Wood:

Very traditional and good looking.

Could be pricey depending in the wood species that is used. Stay away from cheaper woods like Poplar or pine that will rot, twist and split within a short period of time. Good species are Western Red Cedar and Cypress. Make sure you add some sort of a cap to the top of the shutter to prevent splitting and make sure your provider seals the wood effectively to prevent rot. Easy to customize size and styles. Easy to repaint depending on the paint used, and special care should be taken to ensure the paint seals the product completely.

prone to cupping, bending and warping, so make sure your provider adds some form of additional strengthening. Seems that the industry standard is to add metal bracing on the back to prevent some of the issues. Difficult to paint and typically comes in standard colors. Make sure from you provider what steps you’ll have to take when it comes to repainting. Can be mounted flush or on hinges.

Vinyl:

Cheapest option you can get, but then it will also look like that. The summer heat can play a trick on these where the shutters became brittle with color fading over time. These shutters are typically hollow and not very strong. Its recommended that they are mounted flush against the wall, although some service providers sell hardware kits to mount them on hinges. Vinyl shutters are typically 3 times cheaper than wood or composites, but remember you’ll have to pay for installation 3 times. Limited options available for size, style and color. Difficult to repaint effectively.

Composite Wood:

Pricing is comparable to wood, and although you get the look and feel of wood, you don’t have the issues that comes using wood. No rotting, swelling, twisting and if it is the right material, no insect damage. There are different composite materials available and not all are rated for extended exterior use, so make sure your provider uses the right stuff (and can prove it). Very long lasting and in some cases you even have environmentally friendly/safe options available. Easy to customize and a good provider should be able to create unique designs and styles perfect for your home. Similar to wood it will need repainting in a few years, but generally easy to do. Can be mounted on hinges or direct to the wall.

PVC:

Pricey, so shop around. This stuff will last almost forever and moisture have no effect on it. Heat does play a role and it’s

What do I do with my stuff?

Brought to you by - Allison Kloster, Associate Broker, Home Real Estate People ask us every day, what do I do with all my stuff? As a Realtor, our job is to help you understand what the market is expecting of your home. We come meet with you and explain where the current market is and what buyers are wanting in order to make an offer.

Buyers are being asked to pay a premium in addition to rising interest rates.

As a result, buyers are becoming more particular and selective on what they will accept in a condition of a home. We want you to have your home shine and stand out amongst the other homes listed! Our first suggestion is usually to start with decluttering. This means putting away excess accessories or kids’ toys, cleaning KLOSTER out closets, shelves, under the cabinets and garage spaces.

Once sellers begin this tedious task, we usually get a call, “Help, I have too much stuff and my kids or family members don’t want any of it!” The collections that you have spent years putting together, your dish sets that have been handed down for generation or silver plate pieces that your grandmother used for special occasions, have an immense amount of meaning to you, but perhaps not for the next generation. The current mantra is less is more and that greatly deters our kids from wanting our hand-me-downs in their homes. So…what to do…what to do?

If you have a large assortment of furniture, dish sets, or art pieces, calling in a professional estate sale company is the best route. You will want to do your homework on reviews for these companies as they vary on how they work and how they earn their money.

Some estate sale companies won’t let you remove anything from the home once you sign a contract with them. If that is the case, it is imperative that you have family members decide what they want prior to that first meeting with the estate sale company. Other

ISTOCK

companies will take a percentage of the sales but are more flexible with what items are included the sale. Make sure you understand that agreement. You may also want to see if the estate sale company will arrange for charity pickup after the sale, junk removal, and cleaning of the home once all items are gone. That is a complete full service for you and is certainly much easier.

You can sell a lot of items on Face-

book Marketplace, NextDoor, eBay, garage sale sites, and online at www. appenmedia.com. Count on being home to meet people or have a designated safe spot like a police station to sell your wares. You can often google how much something should sell for to help you ascertain the best price.

Remember, in order to sell most items, they have to be priced to be a deal.

You can usually donate anything

and everything, somewhere. Please do your research on where to donate what items. There are many groups that will have sales a few times a year and the proceeds from those sales go to their organization. Find your passion in what groups you love to support and seek their advice by telling them you would like to help. They will likely direct you in a most productive path to accomplish that goal.

portation, a desirable school district and well-maintained parks and lawns.

If you’ve been considering an investment in real estate, the growth of the rental housing market provides exciting opportunities to expand your portfolio. There are a few things you’ll want to make sure are in place before you take on the additional financial commitment (like paying off debt and building up RAWLINGS your cash reserves), but once you’ve prepared for the added expense, it’s time to decide which property is right for you.

While each real estate venture comes with its own unique contingencies, making sure you’ve picked a good location is a priority, and this can prove to be a complex process. A good location is not simply one that is appealing to you, especially when you’re researching a possible investment property. Here are a few objective factors to consider:

It also pays to know whether new commercial builds, civic infrastructure or residential developments are planned for the area, as this will increase your property’s value.

1. Look for centrality.

In general, it’s best to stay near urban areas because when cities experience population shifts, the outlying regions undergo the most severe decline in property values.

2. Analyze the neighborhood.

In addition to features like grocery stores, restaurants and shops, look for access to roadways and public trans-

3. Research future development.

4. Examine the lot.

What surrounds the lot itself can make a big impact on whether the property will be a good long-term investment.

For example, is it next to a highway or a gas station? Alternatively, does it enjoy a great view or proximity to the lake?

5. Consider the house.

While a lot will always appreciate in value, the house itself will depreciate, which is why it is better to invest in a good lot or an up-and-coming neighborhood with a structure in need of some repairs than a nicer house.

Whether it’s your first time or your 11th, an investment in real estate is a big step, and it pays to have a team of professionals in place to support you with knowledge and resources to help you be successful. If you would like to consult with a real estate professional on a possible investment or have any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!

PRESERVING THE PAST

OPINION

AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | July 7, 2022 | 27

Life in an antique kind of world Jim and Linda Farris live in an antique kind of world. They are completely influenced by history. For starters, Jim has a passion for antique cars. He is currently restoring a 1909 Cadillac Model 30 BOB MEYERS Touring Car among others. In his collection is a 1911 Maxwell Model EA Touring car and three original, unrestored beauties including a buggy manufactured in 1890 by the Luth Carriage Company.

Jim collects Civil War era daguerreotype portraits in gutta-percha frames.

Gutta-percha is a kind of latex from a certain type of tree that grows in Malaysia and a few other places. It is hard at room temperature, but when heated can be molded into intricate forms. It is the precursor of modern plastic.

Linda has a large collection of antique Christmas ornaments collected since she was a teenager. She says, “I never met a Christmas shop that I didn’t like.”

The couple lives in a historic gingerbread house on Freemanville Road built in 1899 with rare Victorian scrollwork decoration below the front porch roof. It has been designated a City of Milton Historic Site and is one of the most striking structures in the city. The scrollwork was possibly ordered from Sears-Roebuck back in the early 1900s, making the house truly one-of-a-kind.

The home was originally a farmhouse built by Willis Cass Tucker, Jr. (18491925) on a 40-acre land lot from the 1832 government lottery of Cherokee Indian land. In 1907 Willis Cass sold the land and house to his son, Willis Rollin Tucker (1878-1963), who grew corn, watermelons and turnips for a living.

The Tuckers were known to be a musical family and regularly held square dances in their barn. The house was extensively renovated in the 1970s, preserving as much of the original structure and design elements as possible. The renovated kitchen and fireplace were made of salvaged bricks, some from the original house and some stamped Key-James, a brickwork in Chattanooga founded in 1912.

Jim and Linda enjoy playing antique paper music rolls on an Ellington player piano built in 1913. They tell time with an antique clock collection including an 18th century Tall Case clock and are entertained by a vintage Edison talking machine dating back to 1906. Jim says,

FARRIS FAMILY/PROVIDED

1911 Maxwell Model EA Touring Car with Jim Farris in period driving clothing at the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance, one of the most prestigious car shows in the U.S. March 2014. “if it is a machine and old, I am interested.” A walk through their home is a voyage into the past.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of living where the past comes alive every day is the collection of hundreds of historic artifacts that the couple has uncovered in their back yard.

The hunt for buried artifacts began, says Jim, “the day after we moved in in 1997.” Whenever it rains, items emerge from the ground because the property is on a slope.” The couple bought a White’s metal detector, and relic hunting soon became a family affair. When grandchil-

dren visit, the first thing they want to do is hunt for treasures.

“The excitement is palpable, and they are never disappointed,” Jim notes.

Most items are found 3 to 4 inches deep. They were usually discards. There was no trash pickup back then, so objects were either thrown away or left where they fell if they ceased working.

So, no coins or valuables, just everyday items that tell a story about how local people lived a century ago.

Among the objects uncovered are a step from a buggy, a pot belly stove door, an oil lamp from a Model T Ford, heavy

chains, plow blades, big bolts and many pieces of pottery and chunks of coal.

Jim was employed by Southern Railway Company and later its successor, Norfolk Southern Corporation, in the law and finance division. Later he established his private law practice in Roswell, while Linda was a manager in crew management in the transportation division of Norfolk Southern Corporation before they retired.
