In a bid to spark economic stimulus, the Lilburn City Council is considering a franchise agreement with Big League Dreams, a California company that currently maintains similar facilities in California, Texas, Nevada and Arizona. The Lilburn facility would be located at US-29 and Indian Trail Road where the Jackson Creek Water Reclamation Facility currently resides. The sewage treatment plant is slated to be retired next year.

Lilburn Mayor Diana Preston and 6 others are leaving today to visit a Big League Dreams facility in Mansfield, Texas.

On Monday, the Lilburn City Council voted to enter into a license fee agreement with Big League Dreams for which the city will put up $450,000 in refundable SPLOST funds. The agreement allows Lilburn to examine the company’s financial records as it conducts a feasibility study for a 40-acre baseball, softball and soccer complex that would host local and tournament play.

Over the past week or two I’ve received several emails from local citizens concerned about the squabbling that seems to be ever-present within the ranks of the Evermore CID.

A little research yielded the following:
An open letter from the Evermore chairman, Dwight Harrison dated 08/30/10 states, “We are poised for more great accomplishments. Unfortunately, a currently divided board has stymied the CID’s efforts. Critical and time-sensitive issues have been on the board’s agenda in July and August with only four of eight board members attending. A minimum of five board members is necessary for the board to conduct business.”

The Gwinnett Daily Post reported Harrison stating on 09/10/10 that “Whether you feel like (Executive Director Jim Brooks) is doing a good job or a bad job, you are appointed or elected to show up and vote,”. “I welcome the 22nd. Hopefully, their comments will be aired and hopefully we can move forward.”

In a letter presented at the meeting, the four absent members — Gary Custar, Emory Morsberger, Jimmy Norton and Don Robison — blamed Harrison for the discord.

In 2009 the board was involved in a stalemate over the fate of former executive director Brett Harrell, which ended when two board members were recalled. Since then bylaws were changed to allow votes that end in a tie twice to be brought before the property owners that participate in the CID. Harrison said the lack of a quorum has stopped that option.

The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 22nd, 2:30 PM at the Stone Mountain Tennis Center
5525 Bermuda Road
Stone Mountain, GA 30087
(770) 979-5800

   Yesterday’s executive meeting proved to be yet another stalemate with 4-4 votes on a couple of key issues including the executive directors contract. This impasse means that Jim Brooks who was hired a year ago will not be back as his contract will expire prior to the tie-breaker vote of the CID property owner membership. This bylaw was added after a similar issue occurred with Brett Herrell last year. It was not foreseen that opposing members of the CID board could stall the process by not attending meetings and voting on the issue.

   Another issue left deadlocked by a 4-4 vote was the renewal of Russell Landscape’s maintenance contract. The major concern being that Russell exceeded its contract with the CID by $15,000.

   A NEW recall effort has been established targeting Emory Morsberger and Don Robison who were elected by the CID membership. Recall petitions are being circulated throughout the CID membership. 20% of the approximately 480 property owner membership would have to sign in order to proceed. Dwight Harrison, CID chairman expects to have the required number of signatures by the end of October.

   Jim Brooks, the now former executive director of the Evermore CID, had his contract with the board expire last night. The CID is now operating without an executive director.

Per the request of Gwinnett County, we are posting the following water usage schedule and information.

The Georgia Water Stewardship Act signed by Governor Sonny Perdue went into effect June 2, 2010. The bill allows daily outdoor watering for purposes of planting, growing, managing, or maintaining ground cover, trees, shrubs, or other plants from 4:00pm – 10:00am.

All other outdoor water usage (e.g., washing cars, pressure washing) is to follow the watering schedule based on street address shown below:

Monday - Even addresses
Tuesday - Odd addresses
Wednesday - Even addresses
Thursday - Odd addresses
Friday - No other outdoor water usage is permitted
Saturday - Even addresses
Sunday - Odd addresses

Frequently asked questions about outdoor water use:
I heard I can water my yard every day. Is that true?
Yes. Citizens in Georgia can now water any day of the week, regardless of your address, between 4:00pm and 10:00am.

Can I also wash my car or pressure wash my house any day?
No. The new state law only relates to landscape uses—the odd/even schedule remains in place for all other outdoor uses.

Are parks included in the new schedule?
Sports fields and parks are exempt from the hourly restrictions. These areas may be watered any time or day.

If I put in new landscape, do I have to water between 4:00pm and 10:00am?
No. Newly installed landscape is also exempt from the hourly restrictions for the first 30 days following installation.

What about drip irrigation?
Drip irrigation is completely exempt from the outdoor rules. It may be used any time or day.

What exemptions exist to the new hourly restrictions?
• Commercial agriculture
• Alternative sources of water (grey water, rain water, condensate, etc.)
• Irrigation of food gardens
• Irrigation of newly installed or reseeded turf for the first 30 days following installation
• Drip irrigation or soaker hoses
• Hand watering with a shut-off nozzle
• Water from a private well
• Irrigation of plants for sale
• Irrigation of athletic fields, golf courses, or public recreational turf
• Installation and maintenance of irrigation systems
• Hydro seeding

Are professional pressure washers hired to wash my house subject to restrictions based on my address?
No. Commercial businesses are exempt from day of the week restrictions.

Can I have a charity car wash on any day regardless of the address?
No. Unfortunately, charity car washes, like at home car washes, are subject to the odd/even schedule. This is determined by the address of the facility hosting the car wash. Partnering with a professional car wash is exempt from the odd/even schedule due to the company’s professional exemption.

For more information on exemptions and forms to submit violations, visit the Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources’ water conservation webpage through www.gwinnettcounty.com.
