July 2/16/30, 1979 Council Meeting scheduled meeting of Mayor and Council was held pursuant to the Charter 2. 1979 at the Court Room of the Police Station. The meeting was called by presiding officer Mayor Frank Johnson at 7:30 o'clock p.m. All Council were present except Bill Darby who was expected to arrive late. Also present Attorney Charles Camp. City Clerk Willouise Spivey. Finance Director Gunter ire Chief Don Atkinson. Police Chief R. E. Little, Parks and Recreation Director Asa Howard, Assistant Pubiie Works Director Vie Broyles, Building Inspector Len Williams, Civil Defense Director Jim Farley and representatives of the press. Invocation was given by Councilman Elbert Coalson, followed by the pledge to the flag. There were no citizens reports. was asked to give a report concerning the City's computer system which y fire and declared a total loss. Mayor Johnson stated that after hearing report tonight he would ask the Finance Committee to review the findings make their recommendation back to the Council for final action. Gunter explained that he, Tom Hill and Willouise Spivey had been investigating four computers for replacement. The existing computer is a Burroughs 700 and is a total writeoff as far as the insurance company is concerned, and as far as Burroughs is concerned. The machines they have looked at for replacement are: 1) Burroughs 800 2) Burroughs 1800 3) IBM System 34 4) Univac Be7-800. All of these, with the exception of the 1800. are very similar, the 1800 being a much larger machine with greater growth potential. One problem with it, is the 1800 would take a lot of time and money as far as con- version time and delivery time. Under those conditions. they felt it would put that particular machine out of the running compared to the other three. The Burroughs 800. stem 34 and Univac all have 128,000 characters of memory in the central p unit. All three vendors came in with different line printers. Both the Burroughs and the IBM machine will accommodate, for all practical purposes. all programming languages, while the Univac will only accommodate at this time. RPG2 plus a language that is solely utilized by Univac called Escort. In assessing the amount of time and money involved in converting from the existing system which is not o one of these three. we have judged that the conversion to the uld be minor. while the IBM and Univac. both major. On a B800, we B700. which is what we have now. It has the ability to run on a batch de. The other two will only operate on multi-processing mode. The also acts as multi-processing. It is a more versatile machine and will make the conversion easier, in that we don't have to go out immediately and buy a lot of software programs. We can run as we are running on a B800 and have Tom. as our programmer, develop some of the programs and in some cases be more deliberate about purchasing software that is needed. The cost is figured on a lump sum cost basis. Each machine can be leased, bought on various time purchase agreements. and various ot inations. We are using the lump sum cost for you to make a better comparison. Th is $67.500. the IBM System 34 is $70.230 plus approximately $131 per month rental on operating programs. the Univac will be $66.325. Their recommendation is to purchase. on a 5-year purchase/payment plan, the Burroughs 800. One of the over- whelming reasons for this is it is a cheaper monthly cost. and under the Burroughs lease/purchase agreement at the end of each budget year. should we decide not to continue with it, or if we do not budget the money for it, we can turn it back to them without any penalty. Gunter explained that with the B800. assuming we made a $6,9 payment, the monthly cost would be $1.158.98 per month on a lease/purchase plan the end of 5 years it would be ourS. IBM. on the other hand, would have a lease cost on a monthly basis of $2,047, plus having to lease some of their systems. The Univac comes on a I-year rental basis at $1,942 per month plus maintenance, as well as plus maintenance on the Burroughs system. Tom Hill explained that it was really hard to compare one computer with another. There are a lot of hidden costs involved and what we are doing. or trying to do. is find a machine that will enable us to cut nversion cost. If we ordered the 1800 machine. for example, it before delivery could be made. Burroughs would charge us $50 per til our machine is delivered. In the long run. the B800 machine will be cheaper. Tom stated that in his personal opinion, the best machine is the IBM, but what we are concerned with right now is what is best for the what: is the cheapest way for us. between now and the time the machine can red. It could possibly cost the City $25,000 just to convert to the IBM. ed that Burroughs could deliver major components within 3 to 4 weeks. says they can deliver in 3 to 4 weeks. IBM. if we pay a premium and buy roker, can deliver in 3 to 4 weeks. probably. If we wait until mid- could get the system for $70.000. The IBM machine would be delivered on ty lease. meaning the machine would be delivered and assembled piecemeal. d up with two disc drives and a printer with no processor and still be looking .at $70,000 and a November delivery date. Gunter stated that we hoped the back part of the building at City Hall would be ready for occupancy within a week (Continuation of July 2, 1979 Meeting) days after we let the so storage would be no Bill Darby that we had hired Tom . and if he recommencl$ we use the he was in favor of it.

Jerry Mills seconded the motion which carried by a 6-0 vote. Jim Tolleson abstained. Bill Darby made a motion that eouncil reconsider the rezoning vey Nix of property located on South Cobb Drive, and bring the question eouncil. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion. Jerry Mills stated a part of ty was in the flood plain. He advised this same rezoning was denied on May 79, and requested the reasons called out by John Steely on that date be re-entered into the minutes as follows: (1) The subject property is in an area off South eobb Drive which faces homes with ng from $35.000 to $55.000. It is separated on one side from other rty by a creek which lies within the flood plain as determined by the gineers and on the other side and to the rear is residential, although , proPerty containing some ox the best apartment units in our area. ection adjoins a set of mini-warehouses which actually are located so as the residents oX the adjoining apartment units and enhance rather than from the value and location of the apartments. (2) The application for rezoning is for the stated use of maintaining a wrecker service. It takes only one visit to a wrecker service yard, to know the type of activity, which is not incidental but is common, to this type of business: (a) storage of large diesel and gasoline driven trucks; (b) repair and maintenance of heavy duty wreckers, with the attendant noise and air pollution; (c) moving and storage of wrecked vehicles on the premises; (d) use of high-intensity lights on the wreckers themselves at all hours of day and night; (e) storage and maintenance oX U-haul trucks on the premises. (3) Part, if not all, of the applicant's property lies within the flood plain area of Smyrna Branch as designated by the eorps of Engineers and the National Flood Insurance Program of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (4) The applicant has not presented sufficient evidence to show that he will be damaged by denial ox the rezoning by showing a substantial difference in value of the subj property as zoned as versus the value under any other classification. (5) It is common knowledge that junkyards, and a wrecker yard has all the aspects of a small junkyard, are prime breeding areas for misquitoes, rats and other disease ridden vermin; they also are a source of generalized dumping. (6) The relationship of this property to the adjacent residential properties would cause a loss of value to the surrounding property owners, who we have a duty to protect under our zoning ordinances. (Continuation of July 16, 1979 Meeting) (7) The traffic flow on eobb Drive is so heavy now. that the addition of the proposed use with increased heavy truck emergency type traffic generated by the proposed zoning will affect the safety of the citizens both adjacent to the property and who have to travel along South Cobb Drive. (8) This zoning is not compatible with the surrounding uses and Light Industrial being the lowest classification on the scale for our city, is not suitable use along South Cobb Drive at any location nqw within the City as the property on South Cobb Drive is too valuable at this time under any other zoning classification. (9) JUn~yards. wrecker yards, or storage yards along South eobb Drive. a main thorou.ghfare, would create an eyesore and detract from the aesthetic value of property in the immediate area. Jerry the City has spent thousands of dollars correcting drainage in flood He asked who would pay for the readvertising? Attorney eamp ruled that if the rezoning is to be reconsidered the normal procedure must be gone through again. Bill Darby amended his motion to read the applicant go through normal procedure and pay for the readvertising. Jim Hawkins seconded the motion, which carried by a 6-1 vote. Shinall abstained.

Jerry Mills asked the City Attorney if eouncil could suspend the rules for new business. Jerry Mills made a motion the rules be suspended at this time for the purpose of discussing the rezoning on South eobb Drive at Church Street, requested by Harvey Nix, which has been turned down at a previous meeting, and then voted to be brought up again for reconsideration. John Steely seconded the motion. Vote on the motion carried by a 3-1-1 vote. John Steely. Jim Hawkins and Jerry Mills voted for. Bill Darby voted against the motion. Jack Shinall abstained. Jerry stated that at the last meeting Council reconsidered the zoning on South eobb Drive and he felt there were some misunderstandings which he wanted to explain. In 1976 the eity rezoned the property in question from R-15 to O.D. Sometime later the eity revised their zoning ordinance which placed the property in O&I. The rumor was at that time that mini warehouses could not be built there because this type of construction was not compatible with O&I zoning. Mr. Nix has already started building the mini warehouses on the property, so therefore he could continue to develop this property with mini warehouses, which he requested March 1, 1976. Jerry stated that he felt it should be brought out that a zoning was not being denied; it can be used for what he asked for. which is mini warehouses. Jerry read the minutes from March 1. 1976 where this property was rezoned. Jerry made a motion that the rezoning request by Harvey Nix and reconsideration of his request be denied and any monies he has paid to the City for" advertising the second time be refunded. John Steely seconded the (Continuation of July 30. 1979 Meeting) moti.on Darby stated that the past 3 or 4 months Council had required another busineSSman in Smyrna 1:::0 appl.y for LI (Light Industry) zoning for mini warehouses and asked what type zoning was now required for mini warehouses. Chuck Camp stated the application he was referring to was under the latest zoning laws of the City. Mr. Nix's application for zoning for mini warehouses was granted prior to the adoption of the latest zoning ordinance, placing these two in a different Therefore. he has already built mini warehouses on the property and it has not been subdivided. so Mr. Nix can continue to build mini warehouses anywhere the property, that is not within the flood plain. This property has not been readvertised due to the fact that Mr. Nix did not appear before the last Planning and Zoning Board meeting. Following a question from Jim Hawkins. Attorney eamp it would be legal for Council to rescind their previous act.ion whereby they granted approval for reconsideration for the zoning request. provided the appli- cant was refunded all monies paid for this second reqiiest. Elbert Coalson stated he felt it was wrong to take action on this tonight and he felt it would be better to wait until the next regular meeting.
