Approval of the Icy Lights agreement for the installation, maintenance, and removal of Town Christmas Lighting for $7,500. Council Member Campbell stated that he did not feel that the money should be spent on the service, as we already have Christmas décor. It was not prudent. Council Member Whelan asked to hear from Ms. Owens. Ms. Owens explained that there was $12,000 budgeted for decorations. The contract would include hanging lights and decorations, maintenance of décor, and removal. If we choose them and they do a good job, the owner will honor a three-year special reduced price. She added that the service would take duties away from the Public Works crew, freeing them up, and they also have a scissor lift. Page 2 of 5  Icy Lights would also hang a wreath and lights with magnetic strips on the new pavilion so as not to damage the structure with no additional cost. She listed everything that was included in the cost. Council Members Whelan and Hunter agreed with the service for the beautification, adding less burden to Public Works, and Council Member Hunter shared that it would be a good idea to move toward the three-year reduction in services contract in the future. Council Member Furr asked if the Town’s decorations would still be utilized? Ms. Owens shared that Public Works would still be erecting a few annual decorations.

Consideration to approve an Emergency Access Easement Agreement with Cresswind Peachtree City Community Association, Inc. Phillip Trocquet, Assistant Town Manager Mr. Trocquet shared that shortly after the preliminary engineering design work last year, it was discovered that property was required from the Cresswind Community Association to perform grading work for the emergency access road for Shamrock Industrial Park. He added that an agreement was formed and approved by legal counsel and the association. If approved, the 90% plans with no land acquisition would commence, and bidding would begin. Mayor Dial asked if the Industrial Park property owners were informed. Mr. Trocquet stated that yes, and he did reach out to the adjoining property owners. Mayor Dial inquired about the ability to continue to build in the industrial park. Mr. Trocquet shared that the moratorium had been lifted some time ago; however, no one had built yet. This would add another layer of safety, but the business owners were still hoping for full access. Council Member Furr inquired about the cost. Mr. Langford shared that the latest bid came in at $300,000, but that included paving, which we were not going to do. Council Member Campbell clarified that it would be gravel.

Mayor Dial shared that he assumed that it would be during the Lighting of the Christmas Tree and Marking on November 30th. Council Member Campbell suggested inviting the Sandy Creek Chorus or Jazz Band to draw people. Council Member Whelan suggested a more formal ceremony for citizens and potential future performers, maybe a Saturday morning.
