ALERT: 911 Change for City of Milton Residents May Require Action on Your Part
Dear Friends and Neighbors:
The City of Milton will transition its Emergency 911 and Public Safety Dispatching from the Fulton County Emergency Dispatch Center and Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) to the City of Alpharetta Emergency Dispatch Center and PSAP tomorrow, October 1. All wired phones or "land lines" have been changed through a programming process. Citizens that have these phones will NOT need to take any action. It is important to note that citizens who have VOIP (voice over internet protocol) service may need to take action. It is the responsibility of those users to notify their service provider and tell them of the change. The information for the Alpharetta Public Safety E911 Dispatch Center and PSAP is as follows:
City of Alpharetta Dispatch Center
2565 Old Milton Parkway
Alpharetta, Georgia 30004
(678) 297-6300
Milton's Public Safety Department has been working to transition its dispatch center since its inception in May 2007.
Town Hall Meeting of Highway 9 and Adjacent Citizens
Council Member Tina D'Aversa and I will be co-hosting the first of what we hope to be several meetings for any interested citizen to get involved with community efforts to bring awareness and support to issues facing the Highway 9 area. Highway 9 is the "Gateway to Milton," and as such, it needs greater attention. In addition, this area is somewhat unique to Milton since it is densely populated with both residences and businesses. Outside of the attention dedicated to this area by our city staff, we want to hear your thoughts and ideas so we can work together to make all of Milton the best place in the state to live. Council Member D'Aversa and I want your feedback on what we can do to co-sponsor resolutions, ordinance updates, or other activities to make the Highway 9 area a better place to live, work, and play. More information regarding the date, time, and location of the first meeting will be forthcoming soon. We expect this meeting to occur in the next several weeks. Please plan to attend.

Hmmmmmm. He didn't mention anything about the city manager?
Just what we all need: to go to one of his meeting and get an earful of his opinion. NOT
Tart has been bankrupt himself. Maybe he should learn to take care of his own affairs before he tries to take on our city's problems and give advice.
Maybe we could take a look at your personal finances before making a judgement.
He should go inspect some meat.
And just what kind of meat are you talking about fellow?
Probably sausages and beef links.
