Milton dives into polling details
City panel assembling figures to manage own elections By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. – Milton’s Election Feasibility Committee rolled up its sleeves Aug. 3 and took a deep dive into the practicalities of the city conducting its own municipal elections.
The committee’s efforts could have widespread ramifications for neighboring cities who are in the hunt for ways to avoid paying Fulton County tens of thousands of dollars every two years to manage municipal elections. The committee meeting included a detailed presentation from poll manag-
ers from Peachtree Corners, a city in Gwinnett County that has run its own elections since incorporating in 2012. Gwinnett County Deputy Supervisor of Elections Kelvin Williams said that Gwinnett cities have always run

MILTON, Ga. – A packed house greeted the Milton City Council Aug. 1 to speak on whether the city should compensate the White Columns Homeowners Association for traffic calming devices it had installed along its residential streets. The HOA installed four radar feedback signs in the Golf neighborhood of the 440-plus home community early this year. It wasn’t until after installation that the HOA learned of a program that allows subdivisions to apply for city funding to pay half the costs for traffic calming measures. Under terms of the program, cost is determined through competitive bid. In this case, the city would be on the hook for $6,853 of the $13,706 total cost. Any expenses above the base amount, such as decorative enhancements, would not be eligible for city matching funds. At issue is whether the White Columns installations were fully vetted by the city as part of the formal process. The matter also raises questions over how much authority the city is willing

By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com ROSWELL, Ga. — A Roswell firefighter is accused of fatally hitting a jogger with his truck July 13. The incident, which was captured on surveillance video, occurred just steps away from Fire Station 4 at Old Alabama Road and Market Boulevard. The victim is 59-year-old Bonnie Lynn Abraham-Mikami, of Roswell, who her family says enjoyed daily morning jogs in the city. Ronnie Harper, 68, of Athens, has been charged with two misdemeanors in connection HARPER to the incident, including homicide by vehicle in the second degree and failure to yield right of way at a crosswalk. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail July 20 but was granted a pre-trial release that same day after posting a $23,000 bond. Court records show Harper’s arraignment is scheduled for September. According to his LinkedIn account, Harper has been a firefighter with the Roswell Fire Department for more than 21 years. However, The Macon Telegraph reported July 29 that Harper has since been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. The July 13 incident report states Roswell police received a call at 9:05 a.m. about a person who had been hit by a vehicle in front of Fire Station 4. When the primary officer arrived at the scene, there were already several officers and Roswell fire units there. The report states Harper had just left work when he got in his truck and tried to make a left-hand turn from Market Boulevard onto Old Alabama Road. At first, it states, Harper said AbrahamMikami was not in the crosswalk when he hit her.
But, video footage pulled from Fire Station 4 shows Abraham-Mikami was crossing Old Alabama Road from east to west in the direction of the fire department at the time she was hit. The report states Abraham-Mikami sustained a laceration to the back of her skull and multiple abrasions. Harper reportedly said he “was only doing about 5 mph” at the time of the incident. After hitting Abraham-Mikami, the surveillance video allegedly shows Harper exiting his truck to check on her and running into the fire station for help. Abraham-Mikami was transported to North Fulton Hospital. While the report states she was awake at first, an officer reported that she seemed very confused and was unable to answer his questions. Abraham-Mikami later died, leaving behind two sons, ages 32 and 28. Her sister, Rose Abraham, has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover medical and other expenses. Rose, a teacher at Dunwoody High School, wrote that even though her family is grieving, they find comfort in knowing that Bonnie died doing something that “brought her peace and joy.” Rose says she will remember her sister as an “amazing woman” and single mother who devoted her life to her two boys. “She raised them and put them through college by working as a selfemployed translator/re-writer, primarily focused on managing complex litigation cases which utilized her fluency in Japanese,” Rose wrote. “She continued to use these talents until her passing.” Rose says that because of her employment status, Bonnie didn’t have health insurance. “Thank you for respecting my request for privacy during this devastating time,” Rose wrote. “Many of you have asked how you can help our family. I have established this GoFundMe effort on behalf of my nephews, Jin and Kei, to help them navigate the challenging road that

Milton resident Tony Palazzo’s attorney walks across the room after presenting his opening statements at an Aug. 2 hearing at City Hall to determine whether Councilman Paul Moore had violated the city code when he voted on a matter concerning his neighborhood earlier this year.
Ethics panel hears testimony in City Council case By CHAMIAN CRUZ chamian@appenmedia.com MILTON, Ga. — While the Milton City Council has agreed to compensate the White Columns Homeowners Association for traffic calming devices along its residential streets, a dispute between members of both parties continues. After five hours of testimony Aug. 2, an ethics panel investigating whether Councilman Paul Moore, a White Columns resident, had violated city code by voting on the matter in May said it was not ready to render a decision. Moore voted May 2 to defer a decision on whether the city should enter an agreement with the HOA to share expenses for the traffic calming devices the organization had installed before learning about a cost-sharing program offered by the city. Tony Palazzo filed the ethics complaint against Moore four days later.
While he serves as president of the White Columns HOA, Palazzo filed the complaint as a resident of Milton and not in his official capacity. Palazzo accuses Moore of committing seven ethics violations. He states that because Moore lives on White Columns Drive, where three of the four radar feedback signs are located, he stands to be financially affected by the installation and maintenance costs. Palazzo also alleges 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. Local attorneys Samuel Pierce, Charles Pollack and Ron Debranski

agreed at an initial ethics panel meeting in June that there was sufficient evidence to proceed with a formal hearing. At the Aug. 2 hearing, Moore stood firm, saying he had done nothing wrong. In his initial response to the complaint, he stated that every count was just a “frivolous” and “baseless” attempt to “harass, intimidate and silence” him. Moore, who has lived in the neighborhood for close to 25 years, said he drives past the signs every day on his way to work but cannot see any of them from his house. In his complaint and at the hearing, Palazzo claimed Moore’s house was behind one of the signs. Moore also reiterated that before voting on May 2, he asked City Manager Steven Krokoff whether there could be a conflict of interest. Moore said Krokoff, who also lives in the neighborhood, scoffed at the idea. Krokoff was asked to testify on Aug. 2. “I still don’t believe there is a conflict,” Krokoff said. However, in a 4-1 vote the night before the ethics hearing, City Council members went ahead and approved the cost-share agreement with the White Columns HOA, putting the city on the hook for $6,853 of the $13,706 total cost for the traffic calming measures that had already been installed in the neighborhood. Moore did not vote on the matter “out of an abundance of caution,” but

Continued from Page 1 to concede to subdivisions who initiate street safety measures without going through the formal process to qualify for partial reimbursement. City Councilman Paul Moore, who lives on White Columns Drive where three of the signs are located, recused himself from the Aug. 1 discussion. In June, White Columns HOA President Tony Palazzo filed an ethics complaint against Moore for participating in a vote last May to table the matter. In a 4-1 vote at the Aug. 1 meeting, council members approved the cost-share agreement. The accord included a caveat suggested by Councilwoman Juliette Johnson that the Milton Public Works department examine and reevaluate one of the sign locations.
Questions of jurisdiction
Councilman Rick Mohrig cast the dissenting vote, saying he worried the cost-share agreement could signal that other subdivisions may bypass formal city processes and seek funding after the fact. “Is there a reason for the process? I think it’s so that city staff can be involved,” Mohrig said. During a lengthy public discussion, passions ran high among residents. Most

Stanley Coveleskie, a 9-year White Columns resident, speaks out in favor of the sign installation. – including 20 email comments – said they opposed the HOA’s sign installations. Many urged the city to remove the signs, which were paid for through HOA dues. Milton City Attorney Ken Jarrard said the city has authority over sign removal. He also confirmed that city ordinance allows the HOA to seek sign removal. But, several White Columns residents argued for the need of traffic calming devices, attesting to having observed constant speeding in their section of the neighborhood.
Resident Stanley Coveleskie called himself a “tweener” – being a White Columns resident before and after having his 8-year-old daughter. He said that when he was teaching her how to ride a bike, he went outside the neighborhood because he was concerned for her safety. “We owe it to everyone in the neighborhood to make it a safe and happy place to live,” Coveleskie said.
Speed studies conducted
Since the May 2 City Council meeting, the city conducted two new speed studies,
which indicated that the radar feedback signs and new all-way stop signs were doing their job. For traffic calming measures to be considered, 50 percent of cars must exceed the posted speed limit. The city also collected information on speed-related warnings and citations from Milton police. The data, which covered from April 2021 to July 2022, focused only on the White Columns Golf section. It showed that out of 61 citations, four were for speeding. Out of 28 warnings, one was for speeding. Some residents cited the small number of speeding citations as reason to oppose the signage. Prompted by a council suggestion, the White Columns HOA conducted a survey of residents to gauge sentiment on the radar feedback signs. Many residents argued the survey was improperly conducted and said the wordage was leading. Public Works Director Sara Leaders cited a history of the city allowing HOAs to represent their communities in traffic safety matters. According to city code, the HOA is not required to petition all homeowners prior to installation of traffic calming devices.

Everyone knows that Facebook and Google operate an illegal monopoly over digital advertising. HANS APPEN, Appen Media Group Publisher 8 | Milton Herald | August 11, 2022
News company joins suit against Facebook, Google
Lawsuit alleges two media giants create monopoly STAFF REPORTS ALPHARETTA, Ga. — Some North Georgia newspaper companies have filed antitrust lawsuits against tech giants Google and Facebook, alleging that their “anticompetitive and monopolistic practices” have caused major harm to news outlets’ ability to survive. Alpharetta-based Appen Media Group filed suit Aug. 3, citing statistics that newspaper advertising revenue has fallen by more than 50 percent since 2006, and nearly 20 percent of newspapers have closed over the past 15 years. “Everyone knows that Facebook and Google operate an illegal monopoly over digital advertising,” Appen Media Group Publisher Hans Appen said. “We are proud to join dozens of other newspapers across the country in an effort to correct this injustice and even the playing field.” Appen Media Group owns the Alpharetta-Roswell Herald, Milton Herald, Johns Creek Herald, Forsyth Herald, Dunwoody Crier and Sandy Springs Crier. The lawsuit alleges that news outlets’ loss of revenue across the country was “directly caused” by Google and Facebook’s practices and that the harm was intentional. The complaint opens with a quote from Thomas
Jefferson: “Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.” The suit references “Jedi Blue,” the codename of a 2018 agreement between Google and Facebook that the two companies kept under wraps. The deal provided that Google would give Facebook preferential advertising rates. In 2020, several states’ attorneys general filed antitrust lawsuits against Google as a response to the deal. The lawsuit alleges both companies violated the Sherman Anti-trust Act, an 1890 federal law that outlawed monopolistic practices in an effort to promote free trade and competition. Nearly identical lawsuits were filed in the preceding months by the Marietta-based Times Journal and its subsidiaries Neighbor Newspapers and Rome News Media. Georgia’s newspapers are not alone in their campaign. Appen’s lawsuit is slated to be transferred to the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York, consolidated with pending antitrust cases against Google and Facebook from at least 15 states and U.S. territories, including Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico.

to move in around Thanksgiving.” Parkland has developed more than 15 communities across Metro Atlanta, including Northfield at The Polo Fields. The company states that it focuses on the “missing middle market” of housing, helping those who want to live in the places they work but often cannot afford to.

Food trucks bring creative cuisine, connection to Alpharetta By AMBER PERRY amber@appenmedia.com
ALPHARETTA, Ga. –– Cathy and daughter Cara DeLalla started the Meatballerz food truck seven years ago and have been regulars at the Alpharetta Food Truck Alley since. Cathy’s father, Cara’s grandfather, is a first-generation immigrant from Italy, by way of Ellis Island. For Cara, the pride and joy of the company is its authenticity, starting with the ingredients. For example, making meatballs by soaking stale Italian bread in milk instead of taking the shortcut with storebought breadcrumbs. Then, there’s the method. Everything is handmade. “It’s not shying away from a process that my grandma and my grandma’s grandma were doing in the kitchen, where they’re hands on with everything – it taking hours,” Cara said. “It’s a genuine labor of love, you know?” On Old Roswell Street in downtown Alpharetta, the July 28 event drew well over 700 people. Food Truck Alley is held every fourth Thursday of the month and runs from 5-9 p.m. Since the DeLallas opened their brick-and-mortar restaurant in January 2020 after calls for Meatballerz to have a central location, the mother-daughter team has concentrated on the indoors operation. But Cara continues to send the truck out to Alpharetta for a variety of reasons. “It has all the things you want. It has music. It has family. It has camaraderie. It has a good number of trucks, but it’s not so overwhelming that it’s almost too many choices,” Cara said. The Alpharetta Convention & Visitors Bureau sponsored the music production, bringing in Cumming native Riley Biederer, a finalist on “The Voice.” Biederer’s sweet-sounding vocal range and acoustic guitar carried original songs and classic covers, like Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” In front of Biederer was a grassy area, packed with families and groups

Other food trucks were in the adjacent lot, including The Bento Bus, Low-Co Motion, South of Philly, Operation Mini Donuts, King of Pops, Lisa’s Crêperie, Gotta Have It Catering, A Little Nauti Food Truck and The Pickle.

Because the quality of the food trucks at that event are definitely the best of the best,” she said.

pop-up events, the city asked that Willis take over completely. The Pickle, appropriately painted green, neighbored Meatballerz. Through the window, owner Andy Grimes could be seen furiously preparing food for those idly waiting outside the truck. Grimes has been coming since the event’s inception 10 years ago.

etouffee. Joe and wife Debbie have been in Alpharetta for 10 years and said they try to go to the event at least once a year. “We always like to come down here. We actually live very close,” Debbie said. She got food from the nearby “blue truck.” That Big Blue Truck was Low-Co Motion, a “farm-to-truck” and low-plastic company owned by Atlanta native Jason Jewett and cleverly named for its Low Country birthplace – Charleston, South Carolina – by Jewett’s sister-inlaw and former co-owner Kerry Meir. The menu consists of gourmet sandwiches like The Wicked Chicken and Shredded Pork Sandwich. “You got thousands of different taco trucks, you got thousands of different barbecue trucks, but you don’t have any food trucks like ours,” Jewett said. Some visitors also value buying local. Mike Gan, his wife Sandy and son Hygreev have been regulars for the past couple of months. The event has become a designated family day out to unwind with one another away from technology. For Sandy, it’s also a way to support local businesses. It’s especially nice for the family nowadays, considering measures taken during the height of the pandemic. “We like to see people around postCOVID times, where people are back without masks,” Sandy said.

Alpharetta city manager steps down after 23 years By ALEXANDER POPP alex@appenmedia.com ALPHARETTA, Ga. — After serving 23 years as Alpharetta City Administrator, Bob Regus officially retired on Monday night, leaving behind what officials call an unrivaled legacy of professionalism and stewardship during some of the most important moments in Alpharetta’s history. Regus’s family, friends and colleagues, both past and present, gathered at city hall on Monday, Aug. 1, to celebrate his time in Alpharetta, and heard from all four mayors Regus served under, along with several friends and past council members. The longtime city administrator was presented with two honors at Monday night’s city council meeting, one honor presented by state Rep. Chuck Martin, and another by current Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin. Martin, who served as Alpharetta mayor from 1995 to 2002, said that bringing Regus on as city administrator in 1999, was one of the best decisions the city officials ever made. “For the next 23 years as our city administrator, he led. And his stewardship was accompanied by honor, humility and grace like I’ve never seen before,” Martin said. Martin said that Regus was pivotal in getting Alpharetta recognized as the Technology City of the South, forming the
Tech Alpharetta Board, establishing the Alpharetta Innovation Center, developing the Alpharetta Greenway, and many other accomplishments. For those items, Martin presented Regus with a recognition by the Georgia House of Representatives. Gilvin, who first worked with Regus as a city council member in 2012, called the city administrator a friend and mentor, holding back tears as he commended the Regus’s impact on Alpharetta. “There’s a handful of mayors and former mayors up here, and the fact is that it is incredibly important to have really dedicated and good elected leadership,” Gilvin said. “What we see around us would not exist without the leadership of past mayors and past council members over the last 25 years. But the fact is we didn’t build it. Bob did, Bob built this team, he built the culture that made this happen.” In Regus’s proclamation from the city, Gilvin highlighted his work on the Westside Parkway, the Big Creek Greenway, revitalization of Alpharetta’s downtown and creation of the Avalon Development. Under Regus’s leadership, Gilvin said the city became Georgia’s 15th most populous municipality, with more than 5,800 businesses and 180,000 jobs, and growing to become one of Georgia’s most prosperous communities.

IV Therapy for COVID-19 Recovery: What You Should Know Brought to you by – Hydralive
lingering symptoms in a number of ways.
Your immune system has gone through the wringer fighting COVID-19, and the amount of energy and stress it takes to fight through can be harsh. Much like a serious flu or other long-term sickness, symptoms can linger for months afterward. Depending on your age and health, these symptoms can feel like they will go on forever. And while many impacted by COVID-19 have experienced mild illness, and have been able to take care of themselves at home, IV therapy can address dehydration and vitamin deficiencies. IV therapy may also provide some relief from uncomfortable symptoms associated with long-haul sufferers such as chronic fatigue and pain. IV therapy may provide relief from
Dehydration
IV therapy can help replenish fluids, nutrients and electrolytes your body needs to function properly while combating things like nausea or vomiting because of how quickly these treatments take effect. IV treatments help rehydrate both muscle cells as well as skin tissue cells, making it effective for relieving post-COVID muscle cramping or pain compounded by dehydration.
Vitamin Deficiency
For most people affected by COVID-19 who are not able to consume full meals on a regular basis, IV therapy can help replenish vitamin levels. IV therapy cocktails can include Vitamin C, Vitamin D and other add-ons you desire. These
treatments help replace the vitamins your body needs to function properly.
A Wellness Reboot for Your Body
Your body, even when not sick, requires more care than you may think. You need sunlight, vitamins, nutrients, water, exercise and much more. By giving your body some of these things directly into your bloodstream via an IV treatment, you could potentially speed up your recovery process from many illnesses. When the virus takes away your health and wellness, an IV therapy regimen may help you build it back. It is important to remember there is no cure, easy or guaranteed way to make you totally pain and stress free. There are ways, however, to help put your body and mind in a better position. Relief is just a phone call away. Please

Brought to you by – Roswell Dental Care Have you always dreamed of a kilowatt smile? Or just want to lighten up your darkened or yellowed teeth? Tooth whitening, or tooth bleaching, is a fast and easy procedure that can whiten and brighten your natural tooth color, for an average of 8 shades lighter.
What causes yellow, stained teeth?

Dr. Destinee Hood
Some of the toughest stains come from various foods and beverages, such as coffee, soda, wine, and smoking. Over time, these stains can infiltrate the enamel and get packed into the inner layer, called dentin, causing yellowing. Other stains can be genetic and still others can be from a chemical interruption during tooth development, such as too much consumption of fluoride or from the medication Tetracycline.
How does whitening work?
Dedicated to providing exceptional dentistry and creating beautiful, healthy smiles for over 30 years. Our services include: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Whitening agents approved by the FDA contain hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide has a whitening effect because it can pass easily into the tooth and break down complex molecules. At Roswell Dental Care, we utilize the GLO whitening system, which has a mouthpiece to apply gentle heat and a blue LED light to the teeth. When heat is applied to a peroxide gel on the teeth, it increases the speed with which that gel does its work, creating brighter, whiter teeth in less time.

Yes. The American Dental Association and the FDA have extensive clinical studies proving its safety, under the supervision of a dentist. Whitening is considered the safest cosmetic dental procedure by most dental professionals. However, whitening is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women or children under 13 years old.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effect is temporary tooth sensitivity. This is due to the stains being broken down and bubbled out (imagine the classic science fair volcano experiment). This goes away within a few days after treatment and there is no long-term harm to the nerve of the tooth. What is the difference between athome and in-office tooth whiteners? The main difference is the time it takes to whiten your teeth, which is based on the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. At-home or over-the-counter whiteners can be anywhere from 7 percent to 10 percent. We use a 30%
PROVIDED
formula during an in-office treatment, so there’s a much better chance that your teeth will whiten even the toughest stains. The GLO whitening system has a patented dual-whitening experience, providing an in-office teeth whitening procedure, plus an easy-to-use takehome device for maintenance.
How long does tooth whitening last?
After your whitening appointment, avoid dark foods and drinks like marinara sauce, red wine, or blueberries. Whitening your teeth and keeping your smile bright is a little like coloring your hair: maintaining your results requires maintenance. You will be given instructions for care before and after your treatment. For touch up care, you will be provided with take-home vials, so you can recharge your pearly whites before a dinner party or event.

“How do you know how deep to go?” Brought to you by – Brent Taylor, MD, Premiere Dermatology and Mohs Surgery of Atlanta One of the most common questions that patients ask before Mohs surgery is how the surgeon knows the depth to cut. Mohs surgery is a method for curing skin cancer that involves removing tissue in layers. But how does the Mohs surgeon know how much to remove each time? The answer to that question has layers of its own. Mohs surgery is performed on many different locations on the body, so the answer to how deep to cut varies by location. If a cancer is the size of a plum and on someone’s back, then the Mohs surgeon’s first stage will be cut as a relatively thick layer. In contrast, if the skin cancer is on the edge of someone’s eyelid, then the Mohs surgeon will cut a very thin layer of tissue – often only a millimeter thick on each side of the tumor – in order to preserve as much healthy eyelid as possible. The details on the biopsy report influence the depth of cancer resection. Some basal cell carcinomas are characterized as “superficial type.” These cancers usually grow on the surface like moss on a tree, and deep cutting is often unnecessary. For other tumors, the pathologist may say the “deep margin” is involved. This means that the cancer went to the bottom of the biopsy. The Mohs surgeon cuts deeper on the first layer to ensure a level below the biopsy’s depth. Sometimes, the surgeon can even feel the likely thickness of a cancer with
(glove-covered) bare hands. Some tumors feel like a thick disk that is growing wide, not deep. Others feel like icebergs with abundant tumor lurking below. One of the most important factors affecting second and subsequent layers is the amount of cancer seen under the microscope. If a tiny spot of cancer is left, then only a small amount of additional tissue removal may be necessary. In other cases, strands of cancer are diffusely visible under the microscope, and the surgeon knows that a substantial next cut is necessary to make progress. Sometimes, when patients ask me how I know how deep to cut, I think that what they are asking is not what was discussed above but rather how I know how deep not to cut. How does the doctor know where the critical nerves or arteries are? The answer to that question is all the years of training focused on anatomy and experience gained during residency, fellowship and in practice. Mohs surgeons are expected to learn what layers of tissue are present in different locations and where the “danger zones” of critical nerves or blood vessels are. When a Mohs surgeon anticipates that an important structure is at risk, the Mohs surgeon will generally discuss this with the patient in advance of cutting and give the patient the opportunity to weigh the risks and benefits of proceeding. We hope that this article was helpful and interesting. But a word of caution: please remember that this discussion of Mohs surgery is not exhaustive. Do not try this at home!

completion of sign installations in the subdivision. The permit covers work in cityowned right of way, sign installation and restoring damages. Leaders emphasized that the permit is not an official feature of the agreement but that the city has right of entry for any future sign maintenance. Leaders said public works staff and the HOA had been coordinating for six months leading up to the installation. She also said that staff did mark and approve sign locations before installation began. But, when Mohrig asked if White Columns followed the formal process in getting the signs installed, Leaders said they did not. Mayor Peyton Jamison said the coun-
cil will study the ordinance further at a work session so this issue can be avoided in the future. In other business at the meeting, the council motioned to adopt the 2022 City of Milton Local Road Safety Plan – what Leaders called a “living document.” The plan provides a framework to identify and analyze safety problems as well as recommend safety improvements. In another unanimous vote, the council adopted the 2022 Personal Transportation Vehicle Plan for the Crabapple District with Moore’s recommendation that driver registration and police enforcement aspects of the plan are not to exceed six months. One of the plan’s top objectives is to identify trail crossings for golf carts. The council’s approval allows city staff to begin expending resources to start planning out the network of trails, Milton City Manager Steven Krokoff said.

Continued from Page 10 “This city bears your fingerprints, not just one but all 10,” Former Alpharetta Mayor David Belle Isle said. “And we’re grateful to you for that.” After hearing from the gathered officials, Regus said his time in Alpharetta has been great and spent a few minutes recounting his favorite memories of many city staff members and officials. Responding to the praise placed on his impact on the city, Regus pointed toward city staff, saying that nothing would have been possible without a great team. “I do like to get stuff done, but you can’t get stuff done without really great staff,” Regus said. “They would really make it happen and help us along the way.” Regus’s replacement, Chris Lagerbloom, will take over as city administrator on Aug. 8. Lagerbloom has a long history in North Fulton County, having served as a captain in Alpharetta’s police department before becoming the City of Milton’s first police and fire chief. Beginning in 2007, he served as Milton’s interim city manager before being appointed to the position permanently in 2009. Under his management, Milton received numerous accolades for its safety and quality of life. Lagerbloom left Milton in 2016 and became assistant city manager of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he was later promoted to city manager.

Continued from Page 4 made clear he did not recuse himself. “I’m choosing my words carefully, because if I was to suggest there was a recusal ,that would suggest the possibility of wrongdoing, and I still stand firm there is no law or ordinance that have been violated by the type of statements that I made in the May 2 meeting,” Moore said. Councilman Rick Mohrig cast the dissenting vote at the Aug. 1 City Council meeting, saying he worried the cost-share agreement could signal to other subdivisions that they may bypass formal city processes and seek funding after the fact. He was also asked to testify at the hearing.
80 Milton Ave., Alpharetta Mon-Fri 7am-6pm • Sat 7am-noon
“The reason I voted against is because we did not follow our process,” Mohrig said. “… I try to take seriously that it’s taxpayers’ money. … If we have a process, it’s there for a reason. I did ask the Director of Public Works directly, was this process followed? Yes, or no? … And the answer was no.” In the end, Moore’s attºrney, E. Logan Butler with Patterson Moore Butler, said Palazzo got what he wanted by preventing Moore from voting. But, Palazzo said, he still wanted to go through with the hearing, because the situation was more than just “a neighborhood squabble.” “It’s about protecting lives, property and working with the city on a process that we knew would move forward,” Palazzo said. A second hearing has not yet been set.

Elections:
AppenMedia.com/Milton | Milton Herald | August 11, 2022 | 19
Milton City Council to formalize mill levy
Continued from Page 1 their own municipal elections – unlike Fulton County. The Milton panel is in the hot seat with only three scheduled meetings until they must decide on whether Milton’s election independence is possible, although members discussed adding more meetings to fully iron out the nuts and bolts before the Oct. 15 deadline. Thus far, the panel has been in the information-gathering stage, panel member Mark Amick said. “Pretty soon we’re going to have to be in the assemble [stage],” he said. Milton resident Mary Cronk provided the meeting’s one public comment. “If you do not decide that it is feasible for Milton to run our own elections, I would really encourage you to make an alternate suggestion,” she said. Cost has yet to be assigned to the project. Milton panel members and those from Peachtree Corners didn’t toss around any estimates at the meeting. Panel member and Deputy City Manager Stacey Inglis said that cost is still being fleshed out. The two north Metro Atlanta cities have similarities. Figures from the 2020 Census show Peachtree Corners with a population of 43,516 while Milton has a population of 39,252. Yet, Peachtree Corners spent $50,687 for its November 2021 municipal general election, the city’s Director of Communications Louis Svehla said. Milton paid $84,671 to Fulton County to run its 2021 municipal general election. But, it also paid the county another $70,368 to conduct a runoff election in late November, according to the contract agreement. Peachtree Corners – about half the size of Milton at 16 square miles – has one precinct, with polling held in its city hall. Fulton County lists Milton with six precincts. Panel members are still not sure how many precincts they will have if hosting elections proves feasible, an important piece in determining the cost of running an election. Peachtree Corners City Clerk Kym Chereck and Deputy City Clerk Rocio Monterrosa spoke over Zoom about what it’s like to prepare for such an undertaking. Both oversee their city elections, Chereck acting as the election superintendent and Monterrosa as the absentee ballot clerk. The pair discussed everything from supplies and contractual agreements with suppliers, like Dominion Voting Systems, to tedious inspections for the election season. While mandatory poll training is

Milton resident Mary Cronk leaves the podium after having urged the panel to consider other options if they find that the city can’t host its own municipal election. Cronk suggested a list of items for the panel to consider, including poll location and staff size.
The process for preparing an election January
Fix and publish qualifying fees.
February
Complete mandated election training, reserve election space, notify the secretary of state (SOS) office for election room inspection, notify county about the election and start agreement with the county for election machines and ballot drop box.
May
Post absentee ballot application on website.
June
Call for election and create/review poll worker manual.
August
Prepare qualifying packets; add information on website and legal organ; inventory election supplies; prepare notices of opening and closing dates and times for qualifying. Confirm via GIS all street addresses with SOS and county.
September Run through the qualifying process; notify Dominion Voting Systems for support training and ballot building. October
Confirm ballots; Logic & Accuracy Testing with Dominion; final confirmation of voter list with SOS liaison. Send judge a request for an order approving the voter review panel. Post sample ballot on website and front lobby. Place all ads in the local organ.
November
Election Day; count votes; certify election; conduct run-off election if needed.

slated for February in a typical voting cycle, first-year training will likely bleed into March, Chereck and Monterrosa said. They also said training and election-related affairs are continual even in off years. “This is an off year that we just had. We don’t have an election, but you still have to have your toes constantly dipped into it because you could have a special election at any moment,”
Chereck said. If Milton election panel members find that the city can host its own municipal election, Milton City Clerk Tammy Lowit would act as the election superintendent. To fill in knowledge gaps on precinct and polling location management, the panel invited Milton Planning Commission member Judy Burds, who has worked as a poll manager and
MILTON, Ga. – Residents have one final chance to weigh in on the proposed 2020 mill levy at the City Council meeting Monday, Aug. 15 at 6 p.m. The mill levy is the tax rate the city sets on property. Even if the rate remains the same as last year, homeowners will pay more in taxes if the assessed value of their property has increased. The City Council has already given preliminary approval of a tax rate of 4.731 mills. The rate has remained the same since it was incorporated in 2006, with the exception of tax year 2018. technician among other roles. Burds described long days for poll workers, Fulton staffing techniques and ElectionNet, a central database used to record voting, as well as other details not previously discussed at length. Karen Dublin, a poll trainer contracted by Fulton County, emphasized differences between Peachtree Corners’ election process and Fulton County’s, including the thoroughness of checking voter identification. Milton officials have indicated a preference for paper ballots. They do not plan to use certain equipment like ballot marking devices. However, a preliminary list of potential election supplies was not available for public viewing. When asked for details, Deputy City Manager Inglis, who has taken lead on discussing the panel’s task list, asked that an open records request be submitted for the panel’s working document. The request had not been completed by late Aug. 5. The panel discussed next steps, which would be to begin creating a draft of the final report. “I think we can have the skeleton laid out,” City Clerk Lowit said. “We’ll use this time to start filling in the muscle for the bones.” Panel members discussed some of the intangible risk factors associated with Milton conducting its own election and asked that those risks be included in the report. Lowit mentioned workload. Inglis anticipated unfavorable media coverage. “What can be on the front page? What can we be attacked with? What can we be accused of?” Inglis said. “Obviously, we try to tighten up our processes as much as possible, but there’s always human error.”

Southern Magnolia Charities to host comedy event for a cause MILTON, Ga. — Southern Magnolia Charities is hosting “Comedy on the Green at Crabapple Market” Saturday, Aug. 20, to fundraise for four local charities. Southern Magnolia Charities, based in Milton, is a non-profit organization founded in 2018. It actively serves people in North Georgia through fundraising events and donations, making philanthropic grants and providing services or support that contribute to the health and vitality of the community. The event on Aug. 20 will be headlined by comedian Jon Reep. There will be food and beverages available for purchase. This year’s charity beneficiaries are Blessings in a Backpack, StandUp for Kids, Summit Counseling Center and TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation. Blessings in a Backpack mobilizes communities, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends to elementary school children in North Fulton County

StandUp for Kids’ North Fulton chapter provides youth in the area with a sense of safety, hope and belonging through housing support, mentoring, drop-in centers and street outreach. Summit Counseling Center partners with local schools, businesses, churches and individuals to provide counseling, education and consulting services tailored to meet the immediate and long-term goals of people in need as well as to aid in prevention and wellness. Summit also offers client assistance funds to supplement the fees of people unable to afford private fees. TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, located near Sandy Springs, is a non-profit organization created to address a gap in breast cancer rehabilitation services for the physical and emotional aspects of recovery.

An anonymous donor has offered to
match all donations 3 to 1, so a donation will benefit each of the four charities by the same amount that is donated. To purchase tickets, sponsor the event, bid on silent auction items or make a donation, visit southernmagnoliacharities.org. — Chamian Cruz
