Joining forces on 400 O

n June 7, the CummingForsyth County Chamber of Commerce will partner with the Dawson County Chamber of Commerce and the DahlonegaLumpkin County Chamber of Commerce to host the Georgia 400 Summit. The event will serve as a regional discussion on the future of Georgia 400.

“Georgia 400 is arguably the most important corridors in our region,” said Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce’s President James McCoy. “It is an economic engine that simultaneously connects residents and businesses to medical centers, academic institutions and t h e w o r l d ’s b u s i e s t a i r p o r t , Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.”

H ow eve r, t h e r eg i o n ’s m o s t important thoroughfare is experiencing large volumes of congestion.

In a recent business climate survey, 31 percent of existing businesses stated that traffic has a negative impact on their ability to do busi-

ness. About 22 percent noted that congestion had a negative impact on their ability to retain high quality employees.

Forsyth County is consistently ranked as one of the fastest growing populations in the nation. By 2017 the population is forecasted to exceed 200,000 residents. As the community continues to grow, a positive infrastructure must be in place to ensure a sustainable economic future.

The Georgia 400 Summit will provide our region’s citizens, business leaders and elected officials with an opportunity to explore these issues as a community. The event will address such questions as: • How can we reduce congestion on Ga. 400?

• How can we improve Ga. 400?

• What are the consequences of not improving Ga. 400?

The event will take place at the Forsyth Conference Center in Cumming at 11:30 a.m. Speakers include:

• Rudy Bowen Chairman, State Transportation Board of Georgia • Emily Dunn Representative for the 9th Congressional District, State Transportation Board of Georgia • Todd Long Deputy Commissioner, Georgia Department of Tran-sportation • Gena Evans Executive Director, State Road and Tollway Authority

Transportation referendum launches informational Web site O

n July 31, residents across the 13-county Georgia Mountains region including Banks, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Habersham, Hall, Hart, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union and White counties have the opportunity to vote on a referendum that will fund $1.26 billion in transportation improvements through a regional one-percent sales tax. A newly launched Web site provides information about the regional and local projects that would be funded in the Georgia Mountains Region.

The new Web site — connectgeorgiamountains.org — is provided by the Citizens for Better Transportation: Region 2, Georgia, as a resource for stakeholders of the Georgia Mountains Region. This site features materials and information to help residents, businesses and others to learn about Georgia’s Transportation Investment Act of 2010

and what it means for the 13-county area. The site includes referendum details, transportation project lists and project maps.

Arguably one of the most important projects to be funded is the widening of Ga. 400 from McFarland Parkway to Hwy. 20.

Congestion on 400 has become a major issue for residents, businesses and economic development prospects in the community. In a recent business climate survey, 31 percent of existing businesses said that the traffic has a negative

impact on their ability to do business.

About 22 percent noted that congestion had a negative impact on their ability to retain high quality employees. Other projects include widening parts of Ronald Regan Boulevard, Hwy. 9, Hwy. 369, Bethelview Road and Post Road.

Of the funds collected, 75 percent raised in the region will

be spent on regional projects. The other 25 percent will be returned directly to Cumming and Forsyth County for local projects. In total, Forsyth County will receive about $320 million.

Partners in Education

Northside teams up with new Kelly Mill F

orsyth County Schools would like to thank Northside Hospital-Forsyth for their generous donation of $3,000 for the clinic at the new Kelly Mill Elementary School, set to open August.

Forsyth County is fortunate to have a clinic with a licensed nurse in every school. The donated money will supply many items for the health care of the students. The supplies range from band aids and cotton balls to a stethoscope and blood pressure cuff. Other purchases will include CPR

training supplies and an Automated External Defibrillator, or AED. “School staff are trained in First Aid, CPR, and AED. With this generous donation, we will be able to give first aid to the students and staff as well as promote a healthy life style through health lessons,” said Connie Trent, health services facilitator for Forsyth County Schools. “School nurses teach hand washing, tobacco cessation, CPR, and tooth brushing along with other health classes.”

“This is one example of how fortunate we are in Forsyth County

that education is a top priority for the entire community,” said Ron McAllister, principal of Kelly Mill.

“Through this partnership with Northside Hospital-Forsyth, students and parents can feel confident that their child’s health and safety are of utmost importance.”

Northside Hospital-Forsyth has long been a partner with the school system and we thank them for their continued support. It is wonderful to have a hospital that is willing to contribute to our school’s health care needs.

Economic Development

Jobless rate here falls to three-year low S

ince 2007, communities throughout the nation have struggled to rebound from the economic downturn.

Locally, job creation has remained a primary method for stimulating the strength of our economy. A key method for measuring the progress of our recovery is by tracking the percentage of our local workforce that is unemployed.

This measurement is known as the unemployment rate.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of March 2012, Forsyth County’s unemployment rate has fallen to a three-year low of 6.7 percent — as compared to the national unemployment rate of 8.4 percent and Georgia’s rate of 8.9 percent.

“This is indicative of the growth in our community’s economy,” said Randall Toussaint, the chamber’s vice president of economic development. “Last year our community participated in 16 economic development projects that were estimated to create approximately 1,016 new jobs. Overall, our community is leading the economic recovery and getting people back to work at record setting levels.”

The local unemployment rate had not fallen below 7 percent since December of 2008.

Tourism

Art project enhances community locations G

iant “chicken eggs” in Forsyth County! Why chicken eggs?

The egg shape was chosen to honor Forsyth County’s historical poultry industry. The Sawnee Woman’s Club, Forsyth County Parks and Recreation and the Sawnee Artists Association with grant funding provided by Forsyth County Arts Alliance have designed this project to raise art awareness in Forsyth County.

The exhibit will consist of 25 large (3-foot by 5-foot) fiberglass eggs that are created by local artists for display at various locations in the county. The project allows artists, clubs, organizations, churches, schools and businesses to take part in a fun outdoor art exhibit.

The eggs are made of long-lasting fiberglass and mounted throughout the community.

There are currently 22 eggs in place and three more coming in the future.

The Forsyth County Parks and Recreation Department has been instrumental in this project by storing the eggs, assigning the artists, coordinating the delivery and installing the final display including a sign to recognize the artist who created the egg. Lanier Technical College’s Oakwood campus places a clear coating on each to make the egg withstand the weather.

The project could not have taken place without the support from the Sawnee Woman’s Club, the Sawnee Artist Association and the Forsyth County Arts Alliance.

These eggs are created with themes in mind to go along with the business or location that is the home to the egg. Some have a design to represent something in the community, like the newest egg placed at the Forsyth Conference Center, which has a theme of Lake Lanier with fishing and boating.

Also, the high schools in the county have

decorated several eggs and places them around the county, Forsyth Central painted its egg and it was placed at the school, West’s egg was hatched at the Board of Education, 1120 Dahlonega Highway, and North created one with Georgia licenses plates. Its nesting place is at the Forsyth County Tax Commissioner’s Office, 1092 Tribble Gap Road.

Other cities have animal statues to represent them, and Cumming and Forsyth County have the eggs to represent both our history with the poultry industry and the development of our growing community.

For more information on the location of the eggs, please contact the chamber at (770) 887-6461.

Court strikes down NLRB rule

By Tracy L. Moon Jr.

O

n May 14, 2012, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Coalition for a Democratic Workforce dealt yet another blow to the National Labor Relations Board, securing summary judgment in their challenge of the NLRB’s expeditedelection rule. In striking down the rule, the U.S. District Court for t h e D i s t r i c t o f Moon Columbia declined to rule on the merits of the case, choosing instead to focus upon the absence of a lawful quorum at the time of the rule’s passage. This comes on the heels of a recent decision from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia enjoining the Board’s notice-posting requirement, pending briefing scheduled over the summer and oral arguments later this fall.

The basis of the ruling

The NLRB had previously established an implementation date of April 30 for its expedited-election rule, which is designed to streamline the representation process by postponing resolution of a number of voter-eligibility issues (including supervisory status) until after the tally of ballots.

An 11th hour petition by the U.S. chamber for a stay in that implementa-

10

HORIZONS June 2012

tion date was denied by the D.C. District Court, on the theory that the board would be unable to schedule any elections prior to the anticipated date of the court’s ruling. While this led some to speculate that the rule would proceed unscathed, the court made clear at that time that it intended to evaluate the merits of the chamber’s claim by mid-May. The expedited-election rule has been controversial from the outset, due largely to the fact that it purports to overturn decades of precedent without so much as a single vote of Congress.

The controversy intensified when the board hastily attempted to finalize the rule in the midnight hour — just days before then-member Becker’s recess appointment was set to expire, and only hours after it was put before lone Republican Member Hayes for his consideration. Shortly thereafter, on Dec. 16 of last year, the board voted to approve the final rule by a margin of 2-0, without any vote or formal participation from Member Hayes.

It was ultimately the mad rush to finalization that became the rule’s undoing. In the decision, the district court chose to focus exclusively on this phase of the process, and specifically upon the lack of a quorum — at least three participating members — in striking down the rule on procedural grounds. As the court noted at the outset of its decision, “because no quorum ever existed at the pivotal [Dec. 16] vote in question, the Court must hold that the challenged rule is invalid.”

‘The expedited-election rule has been controversial from the outset, due largely to the fact that it purports to overturn decades of precedent without so much as a single vote of Congress.’

The court was quick to point out that it saw no need to rule on the merits of the plaintiffs’ contentions. Moreover, it suggested that, “it may well be that, had a quorum participated in its promulgation, the final rule would have been found perfectly lawful. As a result, nothing appears to prevent a properly constituted quorum of the board from voting to adopt the rule if it has the desire to do so. In the meantime, though, representation elections will have to continue under the old procedures.”

Many questions remain

While this decision does indeed deal yet another blow to the NLRB in its efforts to secure pro-labor reforms by way of administrative rule-making, it leaves a number of questions unan-

swered, such as: 1) Will the board take heed of the decision (as expected) by suspending efforts to implement the expedited election rule in the shortterm, pending its inevitable appeal? 2) If so, will it take interim steps to “rubber stamp” its previously invalid decision by virtue of a proper quorum of current board members? 3) Does the board have the votes needed to secure its passage yet again? 4) Would this simply lead the parties back to the same court for a ruling on the merits of the case? 5) Would the current board’s ruling ultimately be upheld in the face of ongoing challenges as to its own authority, given the fact that a majority of its members assumed recess appointments during a pro forma session of Congress?

At the moment, the only thing that remains clear is that the status of the board’s quickie-election rule will remain in question for now. Still, it would appear that employers have secured at least a temporary reprieve from ambush elections, during which time they remain well-advised to continue exploiting this window of opportunity to fine-tune their employee relations programs in an ongoing effort to render third party representation unnecessary.
