CITY ATTORNEY?S AGENDA:
THE FOLLOWING FOUR ORDINANCES WERE SUBMITTED AND EXPLAINED BY CITY
ATTORNEY FAY AND ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL ON SECOND
READING:_______________________
An Ordinance (16-29) ? Amending the Text of the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) of the Columbus Consolidated Government. Adding Section 2.5.23
River Road Overlay District. The purpose and intent of this overlay is to
promote and enhance the aesthetic qualities of development within the arterial
road corridor through the implementation of land use regulations, and within
which amenity features are encouraged.
Councilor Thomas moved the adoption of the ordinance. Seconded by
Councilor Huff and carried by a vote of six to one with Councilors Baker,
Davis, Garrett, Henderson, Huff and Thomas voting yes and Councilor Barnes
voting no, with Councilors Allen and Woodson being absent for the vote and
Mayor Pro Tem Turner Pugh being absent from the meeting.
*** *** ***
An Ordinance (16-30) ? Rezoning of 0.16 acres located at 4827 11th Avenue
(parcel #032-017-005). The current zoning is General Commercial (GC) zoning
district. The proposed zoning is Single Family Residential 4 (SFR4) zoning
district.
Councilor Henderson moved the adoption of the ordinance. Seconded by
Councilor Garrett and carried unanimously by those seven members of Council
present, with Councilors Allen and Woodson being absent for the vote and Mayor
Pro Tem Turner Pugh being absent from the meeting.
*** *** ***
An Ordinance (16-31) ? Amending Section 3-1 of the Columbus Code
pertaining to alcoholic beverages by amending Sub-section 3-1 (HH) to allow
growlers to be sold in brew pubs; and for other purposes.
Councilor Henderson said when this was first brought up, he has spoken
with Ms. Sheftall in the City Attorney?s office and has also heard from the
local brew pubs and said they were asking, if it wouldn?t delay the process, if
we could change the minimum from 32 ounces to 16 ounces. He said their point
was that the item is sealed when they leave and they thought it would turn into
more of a souvenir kind of sale, as well as help to enhance their marketing
efforts. He said they don?t want this to get in the way of the growlers being
allowed to be sold from a brew pub. He then made a motion to amend the
ordinance to change the minimum from 32 ounces to 16 ounces for discussion
purposes, to determine whether or not there is something of concern.
Seconded by Councilor Barnes and with there being no discussion, it carried
unanimously by those eight members of Council present, with Councilor Allen
being absent for the vote and Mayor Pro Tem Turner Pugh being absent from the
meeting.
Councilor Henderson then made a motion to adopt the ordinance as amended.
Seconded by Councilor Barnes and carried unanimously by those eight members of
Council present, with Councilor Allen being absent for the vote and Mayor Pro
Tem Turner Pugh being absent from the meeting.
*** *** ***
An Ordinance (16-32) ? Providing a 120-day moratorium on the issuance of
permits under Article 8 of Chapter 8 of the Unified Development Ordinance for
repair, installation and construction which involves small cell technology in
city rights-of-way; providing that said moratorium shall expire at midnight on
Wednesday, November 23, 2016; and for other purposes.
Councilor Thomas moved the adoption of the ordinance. Seconded by
Councilor Henderson and carried unanimously by those eight members of Council
present, with Councilor Allen being absent for the vote and Mayor Pro Tem
Turner Pugh being absent from the meeting.
*** *** ***
THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE WAS ALSO SUBMITTED AND EXPLAINED BY CITY ATTORNEY
FAY AND INTRODUCED ON FIRST
READING:
An Ordinance ? Amending the Operating Budget for Fiscal Year 2016
beginning July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016 so as to appropriate and
account for the payment of legal fees and expenses provided to the Muscogee
County Sheriff in the case of Darr v. Columbus; and for other purposes.
City Attorney Fay said we do note that the Court deducted from the total
amount of legal fees, a certain Abode subscription fees and meals for the
Sheriff?s legal defense team and said the issue of where the money will come
from, the General fund versus the Sheriff?s appropriated budget is still
persevered for appeal. He said also some other issues concerning the Georgia
Sheriff?s Association involvement in the case and any payment of their fees is
also preserved for appeal.
He said we won?t vote on this tonight, but it will come back in two weeks
and then asked if there were any questions of the Council, but there were
none.
Mayor Tomlinson said with the recognition that those various items have
been reserved for appeal, as we have had discussion about those in the past and
then asked if the Council has any discussion related to this ordinance on first
reading, but once again there were none.
City Attorney Fay then pointed out that this ordinance will be brought
back in two weeks on the August 9th Council Agenda for the Council?s
adoption.

PUBLIC AGENDA
SENATOR EMAUEL JONES, REPRESENTING LEGACY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, RE:
OCCUPATION TAXES:________
Senator Emanuel Jones, representing Legacy Chevrolet Dealership came
forward and said he appreciates the opportunity to be here today to speak to
the Council regarding an issue that is of grave concern, not only to him, but
to others that are in his particular industry. He said this is an issue that
he has spent a considerable amount of time researching and what he found is
that the way this Occupation tax is imposed, the gross receipts is unfair.
He said the reason he is saying that it is unfair, and he will give you a good
example as to what he is referring to and then he will share with you some of
his other findings and data that he has brought along with him. He said if
you take his dealership for example and another dealership (Kia for example),
and both of those businesses sells the same amount of cars and generates the
same amount of income, his occupation tax would be doubled of what theirs is.
He said the reason for that is because the average cost of their product is
about half of what it is for his.
Mr. Jones said a dealership that sells only cars would have an average
price of those vehicle at about $20,000 to $25,000 versus a dealership that
relies heavily on the sale of trucks, whose average costs would be about
$50,000
He said though both of those vehicles may have generated the same amount
of income off of the sale, yet his tax, because of the higher price of the
product that he sells would be doubled of what his competitor would be.
He said this particular tax that he has researched, and he has data
regarding how this tax is im0posed across the State of Georgia. He said
probably over 90% of the counties do not use gross receipts tax.
Senator Jones provided information to the Mayor and Council in support of
why he is here before them this morning.
*** *** ***
MS. SHARON E. BUNN, RE: CATS:
Ms. Sharon E. Bunn expressed her concerns of having problems with cats in
and around her neighborhood. She went into great details in outlining the
problems that she has encountered with having these cats in her neighborhood;
even to the point of her having gotten ill from them.
*** *** ***
MR. HENRY L. GANTER, RE: CATS:
Mr. Henry L. Ganter, neighbor of Ms. Bunn, who also lives in the Searswood
Subdivision came forward and addressed his concerns and problems with the cats
in the neighborhood. He also showed photos of some of the things that the cats
are doing and destroying property in that neighborhood.
After Ms. Bunn and Mr. Ganter expressed their concerns to the Mayor &
Council, Councilor Barnes also made some comments regarding this subject
matter.
Councilor Henderson said he would like for us to check and see if there is
something that we can do about this.
Councilor Davis if this program is going to be managed, he thinks it
should needs to be done properly.
