Forest Park, Georgia, to appropriate additional funds in the amount of $125,000.00 to cover added costs incurred in the City Attorney Fees Account; to repeal all Ordinances and parts of Ordinances in conflict herewith; to provide an effective date; and for other purposes

 

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND: Attorney fees that could not be projected or budgeted have been incurred by the City, related to the Fort Gillem property. These additional fees are primarily associated with the City’s continuing efforts to stop the decision of the Department of the Army to transfer part of the Fort Gillem property to FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Due to the additional attorney fees, the budget needs to be amended to provide an additional $125,000 for attorney fees for the current fiscal year.

 

                   5.  Consider a Resolution requesting authorization to enter into

a contract  with  M. H. Biggers and Associates to provide cost estimates for the LCI Downtown Main Street Pedestrian Streetscape Project

 

 

 

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:  The City of Forest Park has received the Notice to Proceed from the Georgia Department of Transportation for the Right-of-Way proceedings.  The City of Forest Park must adhere to the right-of-way guidelines established by GDOT.  The guidelines include obtaining property cost estimates from a GDOT certified appraiser.  After requesting fee proposals from GDOT certified appraisers, the firm of M.H. Biggers and Associates submitted the lowest most qualified proposal.  This resolution requests authorization to enter into a contract with M. H. Biggers and Associates.
