contained in the "Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia" specified in
O.C.G.A. 12-7-6 subsection (b).
2. A discharge of storm water runoff from disturbed areas where best management practices
have not been properly designed, installed, and maintained shall constitute a separate
violation of any land-disturbing permit issued by a local Issuing Authority or of any state
general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of O.C.G.A. 12-5-30, the
"Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such discharge results in the
turbidity of receiving waters being increased by more than twenty-five (25)
nephelometric turbidity units for waters supporting warm water fisheries or by more than
ten (l 0) nephelometric turbidity units for waters classified as trout waters. The turbidity
of the receiving waters shall be measured in accordance with guidelines to be issued by
the Director. This paragraph shall not apply to any land disturbance associated with the
construction of single family homes which are not part of a larger common plan of
development or sale unless the planned disturbance for such construction is equal to or
greater than five (5) acres.
3. Failure to properly design, install, or maintain best management practices shall constitute
a violation of any land- disturbing permit issued by a Local Issuing Authority or of any
state general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of Code Section 12-
5-30, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such failure
occurs.
4. The Director may require, in accordance with regulations adopted by the Board,
reasonable and prudent monitoring of the turbidity level of receiving waters into which
discharges from land disturbing activities occur.
5. The LIA may set more stringent buffer requirements than stated in C.15. and
16., in light of O.C.G.A. § 12-7-6 (c).
C. The rules and regulations, ordinances, or resolutions adopted pursuant to O.C.G.A. 12-7-1 et.
seq. for the purpose of governing land-disturbing activities shall require, as a minimum,
protections at least as stringent as the state general permit; and best management practices,
including sound conservation and engineering practices to prevent and minimize erosion and
resultant sedimentation, which are consistent with, and no less stringent than, those practices
contained in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia published by the
Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission as of January 1 of the year in which the
land-disturbing activity was permitted, as well as the following:
1. Stripping of vegetation, regrading and other development activities shall be conducted in
a manner so as to minimize erosion;
2. Cut-fill operations must be kept to a minimum;
3. Development plans must conform to topography and soil type so as to create the lowest
practicable erosion potential;
4. Whenever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained, protected and supplemented;
5. The disturbed area and the duration of exposure to erosive elements shall be kept to a
practicable minimum;
7
ORDINANCE No. 2010-6
6. Disturbed soil shall be stabilized as quickly as practicable;
7. Temporary vegetation or mulching shall be employed to protect exposed critical areas
during development;
8. Permanent vegetation and structural erosion control practices shall be installed as soon as
practicable;
9. To the extent necessary, sediment in run-off water must be trapped by the use of debris
basins, sediment basins, silt traps, or similar measures until the disturbed area is
stabilized. As used in this paragraph, a disturbed area is stabilized when it is brought to a
condition of continuous compliance with the requirements of O.C.G.A. 12-7-1 et. seq.;
10. Adequate provisions must be provided to minimize damage from surface water to the cut
face of excavations or the sloping of fills;
11. Cuts and fills may not endanger adjoining property;
12. Fills may not encroach upon natural watercourses or constructed channels in a manner so
as to adversely affect other property owners;
13. Grading equipment must cross flowing streams by means of bridges or culverts except
when such methods are not feasible, provided, in any case, that such crossings are kept to
a minimum;
14. Land-disturbing activity plans for erosion, sedimentation and pollution control shall
include provisions for treatment or control of any source of sediments and adequate
sedimentation control facilities to retain sediments on-site or preclude sedimentation of
adjacent waters beyond the levels specified in Section IV B. 2. of this ordinance;
15. Except as provided in paragraph (16) of this subsection, there is established a 25 foot
buffer along the banks of all state waters, as measured horizontally from the point where
vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action, except where the
Director determines to allow a variance that is at least as protective of natural resources
and the environment, where otherwise allowed by the Director pursuant to O.C.G.A. 12-
2-8, where a drainage structure or a roadway drainage structure must be constructed,
provided that adequate erosion control measures are incorporated in the project plans and
specifications, and are implemented; or along any ephemeral stream. As used in this
provision, the term 'ephemeral stream' means a stream: that under normal circumstances
has water flowing only during and for a short duration after precipitation events; that has
the channel located above the ground-water table year round; for which ground water is
not a source of water; and for which runoff from precipitation is the primary source of
water flow, Unless exempted as along an ephemeral stream, the buffers of at least 25 feet
established pursuant to part 6 of Article 5, Chapter 5 of Title 12, the "Georgia Water
Quality Control Act", shall remain in force unless a variance is granted by the Director as
provided in this paragraph. The following requirements shall apply to any such buffer:
a. No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a buffer shall
remain in its natural, undisturbed state of vegetation until all land-disturbing
activities on the construction site are completed. Once the final stabilization of the
site is achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of vegetation as long as a
protective vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a
natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed;
provided, however, that any person constructing asingle-family residence, when
such residence is constructed by or under contract with the owner for his or her own
occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation in a buffer at any time as long as protective
vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural
canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; and
b. The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities, provided that
they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of crossing, within 25 degrees of
perpendicular to the stream; cause a width of disturbance of not more than 50 feet
8
ORDINANCE No. 2010-6
within the buffer; and adequate erosion control measures are incorporated into the
~ project plans and specifications and are implemented: (i) Stream crossings for water
lines; or (ii) Stream crossings for sewer lines; and
16. There is established a 50 foot buffer as measured horizontally from the point where
vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action, along the banks of
any state waters classified as "trout streams" pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 5 of Title
12, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", except where a roadway drainage structure
must be constructed ;provided, however, that small springs and streams classified as
trout streams which discharge an average annual flow of 25 gallons per minute or less
shall have a 25 foot buffer or they may be piped, at the discretion of the landowner,
pursuant to the terms of a rule providing for a general variance promulgated by the
Board, so long as any such pipe stops short of the downstream landowner's property and
the landowner complies with the buffer requirement for any adjacent trout streams. The
Director may grant a variance from such buffer to allow land-disturbing activity,
provided that adequate erosion control measures are incorporated in the project plans and
specifications and are implemented. The following requirements shall apply to such
buffer:
a. No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a buffer shall
remain in its natural, undisturbed, state of vegetation until all land-disturbing
activities on the construction site are completed. Once the final stabilization of the
site is achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of vegetation as long as a
protective vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a
natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed:
provided, however, that any person constructing asingle-family residence, when
"""" such residence is constructed by or under contract with the owner for his or her own
occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation in a buffer at any time as long as protective
vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural
canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; and
b. The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities, provided that
they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of crossing, within 25 degrees of
perpendicular to the stream; cause a width of disturbance of not more than 50 feet
within the buffer; and adequate erosion control measures are incorporated into the
project plans and specifications and are implemented: (i) Stream crossings for water
lines; or (ii) Stream crossings for sewer lines.
D. Nothing contained in O.C.G.A. 12-7-1 et. seq. shall prevent any Local Issuing Authority from
adopting rules and regulations, ordinances, or resolutions which contain stream buffer
requirements that exceed the minimum requirements in Section IV B. & C. of this ordinance.
E. The fact that land-disturbing activity for which a permit has been issued results in injury to
the property of another shall neither constitute proof of nor create a presumption of a
violation of the standards provided for in this ordinance or the terms of the permit.
SECTION 46-34

permit will be issued unless the plan has been approved by the District, and any variances
required by Section IV C. I5. & 16. has been obtained, all fees have been paid, and
bonding, if required as per Section V B.6., have been obtained. Such review will not be
required if the Local Issuing Authority and the District have entered into an agreement
which allows the Local Issuing Authority to conduct such review and approval of the
plan without referring the application and plan to the District. The Local Issuing
Authority with plan review authority shall approve or disapprove a revised Plan submittal
within 35 days of receipt. Failure of the Local Issuing Authority with plan review
authority to act within 35 days shall be considered an approval of the revised Plan
submittal.

SECTION 46-35
INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
A. The City of Smyrna will periodically inspect the sites ofland-disturbing activities for which
permits have been issued to determine if the activities are being conducted in accordance with
the plan and if the measures required in the plan are effective in controlling erosion and
sedimentation. Also, the Local Issuing Authority shall regulate primary, secondary and
tertiary permittees as such terms are defined in the state general permit. Primary permittees
shall be responsible for installation and maintenance of best management practices where the
primary permittee is conducting land-disturbing activities. Secondary permittees shall be
responsible for installation and maintenance of best management practices where the
secondary permittee is conducting land-disturbing activities. Tertiary permittees shall be
responsible for installation and maintenance where the tertiary permittee is conducting land-
disturbing activities. If, through inspection, it is deemed that a person engaged in land-
disturbing activities as defined herein has failed to comply with the approved plan, with
permit conditions, or with the provisions of this ordinance, a written notice to comply shall be
served upon that person. The notice shall set forth the measures necessary to achieve
compliance and shall state the time within which such measures must be completed. If the
person engaged in the land-disturbing activity fails to comply within the time specified, he
shall be deemed in violation of this ordinance.

O.C.G.A. 12-7-8 (a). The District or the Commission or both may provide technical
assistance to any county or municipality for the purpose of improving the effectiveness of the
county's or municipality's erosion, sedimentation and pollution control program. The
District or the Commission shall notify the Division and request investigation by the Division
if any deficient or ineffective local program is found.
12
ORDINANCE No. 2010-6
F. The Division may periodically review the actions of counties and municipalities which have
been certified as Local Issuing Authorities pursuant to Code Section 12-7-8 (a). Such review
may include, but shall not be limited to, review of the administration and enforcement of a
governing authority's ordinance and review of conformance with an agreement, if any,
between the district and the governing authority. if such review indicates that the governing
authority of any county or municipality certified pursuant to O.C.G.A. 12-7-8 (a) has not
administered or enforced its ordinances or has not conducted the program in accordance with
any agreement entered into pursuant to O.C.G.A. 12-7-7 (e), the Division shall notify the

FINANCIAL SUMMARIES AND STATISTICS
The purpose of this document is to provide the reader with an overview of the City's financial activity for
the 2011 fiscal year. The consolidated budget and the individual fund totals, for both revenues and
expenditures, are presented with comparative information from prior periods. Various line item
comparisons are provided so that any trends or changes in focus can be clearly seen.
In addition, some of this information is provided in graph form to aid the user in understanding the
budget. By demonstrating graphically where funds originate and how they will be spent,
interrelationships are more easily seen.
Attempting to address the current economic climate, and according to current trends, the FY 2011
budget reflects conservative revenue forecasting. Property taxes are expected to decline 10% from the
actual calendar year 2009 billings and motor vehicle, franchise and business license taxes & fees are
expected to drop $750,754 from the FY 2010 budget. To address the decline in revenue, the City made
~,,, several budget cuts, improving operational efficiency.
Notable budget highlights include:
• No employee salary increases, including the Mayor and Council.
• A reduction in health insurance and workers compensation costs reflect current trends in
recognition of cost reduction measures.
The elimination of 18 positions; 11 full time positions and 7 part time positions; these reductions
were made possible, in part, by the following:
- A consolidation of the Park's Facility division with Public Works.
- Reorganizing Park's Administrative staffing.
- Improving routing efficiency in the Sanitation and Recycling divisions.
• Reducing operating hours at some City facilities.
• Jail housing fees are budgeted at $360,000, whereas no revenues were budgeted in FY 2010.

SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the collection and disbursement of specific revenues that
are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. Included in this classification are
Communications (E-911), Community Development Block Grant (C.D.B.G.), a Special Purpose Local
Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) Program for roadway improvements and the Hotel -Motel (Museums) Fund.
Also adopted in FY 2011 were two funds for the Police Department. These included the Multiple Grant
Fund and Confiscated Assets Fund. The Multiple Grant Fund is money received from the United States
Department of Justice that is restricted for public safety purposes and sometimes very specific as to its
use. The Confiscated Assets Fund is money received from the Marietta Cobb Smyrna (MCS) Narcotics
squad. Usually these funds are received after confiscated assets are sold and the money is then divided
between the agencies involved.
First adopted in FY 2011 is the Capital Projects Fund which is used to fund General Fund capital
purchases. In the past, these purchases were budgeted as part of the General Fund. Separating this fund
from the General Fund will allow a more streamlined budgetary process as well more accurate and
direct tracking of spending.
The $741,011, decrease in this year's special revenue fund is attributable to major declines in 1%
SPLOST, Hotel-Motel, and E-911 revenues. For Fiscal Year 2011, the Special Revenue Funds total of
$10,279,683 comprises approximately 16% of the city's total consolidated expenditures. The decrease
from the FY 2010 budget of $11,020,694 reflects a 6.72% decrease.

PROPRIETARY FUND
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities that governments finance and operate in a manner
similar to private business enterprises. The goods and/or services from such activities are generally
provided to outside parties and the end user pays for the product. The activities of the city that render
services to the general public on a user charge basis or which require periodic determination of
revenues for public policy are accounted for as Enterprise Funds. Enterprise Funds are one fund type
included under the Proprietary Fund category. The City of Smyrna has only one enterprise fund, the
Water -Sewer Fund.
The Water -Sewer Fund reflects the operation of the city's water and sewer system. Revenues are
generated from the sale of water and sewer service. Expenses reflect the cost to operate and maintain
the system.
In an effort to comply with the Federal Government extension of the 1972 Clean Water Act and new
rules which took effect in March 2003, stormwater utilities are becoming increasingly common with
county and municipal governments. Compliance will require development and expansion of stormwater
programs in order to meet federal and state guidelines. Proper stormwater management will improve
water quality as it relates to pollutants, ensure environmental protection and infrastructure needs.
The City of Smyrna elected to use a stormwater user fee to provide revenue for its stormwater program.
The fee method is calculated upon both user and impervious areas. The set equivalency runoff unit (ERU)
is 3,900 square feet of impervious surface for each ERU. The fee per month is $2.25 for single family and
multi-family units and $2.25 for each 3,900 square feet of impervious surface on non-residential
properties.
For fiscal year 2011, the City's Water -Sewer Fund shows an increase of 13% or $1,975,420 over FY
2010 of $15,146,550. The primary reason for the increase is higher wholesale rates paid for water and
sewer as well as $1.6 million for system upgrades.
The monthly revenues that are generated by water and sewer user fees are sufficient to meet capital
expansion needs, annual debt payments and the day-to-day operating costs of the system. For Fiscal Year
2011, the Water -Sewer Fund of $17,121,970 represents approximately 26%, of the total consolidated
budget.

Revenue Bonds
long-Term bonded debt for the Downtown Smyrna Development Authority revenue bonds at June 30, 2009 is
comprised of the following:
$8,285,000 Series 1997 Downtown Smyrna Development Authority bonds, serviced through lease
payments from the City, due in annual installments commencing February 1,1998 of principal from
$35,000 to $1,700,000, through February 1, 2020, together with interest ranging from 3.7% to 5.6%

$2,875,000 Series 2001 Downtown Smyrna Development Authority bonds, serviced through lease
payments from the City, due in annual installments commencing February 11, 2002 of principal from
$85,000 to $225,000, through February 2021, together with interest of 5.14% ($2,290,000 outstanding).
These bonds were issued to purchase property.
$11,885,000 Series 2002 Downtown Smyrna Development Authority bonds, serviced through lease
payments from the City, due in annual installments commencing February 1, 2003 of principal from
18~P~ge
$755,000 to $1,160,000, through February 1, 2016, together with interest ranging from 2.25% to 5.25%
($7,945,000 outstanding). The bonds were issued to refund a portion of Series 1989 and 1993 bonds.
$22,000,000 Series 2005 Downtown Smyrna Development Authority bonds, serviced through lease
payments from the City, due in annual installments commencing on August 1, 2005 of principal from
$220,000 to $3,070,000, through February 1, 2028 together with interest ranging from 3% to 5.25%
($21,785,000) outstanding. These bonds were issued for acquiring, construction, and renovation of parks
and recreation facilities.
On November 21, 2002, the City and the Smyrna Development Authority entered into an amended and restated
intergovernmental contract. The contract obligates the City to make lease payments directly to the Authority for the
purpose of paying the principal and interest on the outstanding balance of the Series 1997, 2001 and 2002 Revenue
Bonds issued by the Authority. The contract will not expire until full payment of the bonds; however, the agreement
will terminate absolutely on August 1, 2039. On April 1, 2005 the City and the Authority entered into an additional
intergovernmental contract obligating the City to make lease payments directly to the Authority for the purpose of
paying principal and interest on the Series 2005 Revenue Bonds issued by the Authority. The contract will not expire
until full payment of the bonds; however, the agreement will terminate absolutely on February 1, 2028. The
contracts enable the City to lease from the Authority the facilities constructed by the Authority. The leases are a
direct financing lease in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Authority has no obligation
for the debt beyond the resources provided by the City under the contract; therefore the obligation for the bonds is
not reported on the financial statements of the Smyrna Downtown Development Authority. Each agreement
provides that prior to expiration of the leases upon payment in full of the bonds outstanding; the City may purchase
the project from the Authority for $100.
Smyrna has historically maintained a solid financial position and in July of 2007, Standard & Poor's bond rating for
the city is a very respectable AA1. Moody's rating increased in May 2010 to Aa2. This rating reflects an expanding
economic base combined with strong financial performance and maintenance of a manageable debt burden. The
stable outlook reflects the expectation that the city will maintain a good financial position.
Water and Seweraee Revenue Bonds
Long-Term bonded debt for the Water and Sewerage revenue bonds at June 30, 2009 is comprised of the
following:
$6,645,000 Series 1999 Water and Sewerage Revenue Bonds, serviced through Enterprise Fund revenues,
due in annual installments commencing July 1, 2000 of principal from $290,000 to $780,000, through July
1, 2011, together with interest ranging from 3.08% to 4.05% ($2,530,000 outstanding). These bonds were
issued to provide for additions, extensions, and improvements to the water and sewerage system of the
City.
