Milton is forming a Greenspace Advisory Committee to work with the city on selecting and acquiring land to be preserved after voters approved a $25 million bond referendum in November.
The City Council approved an ordinance creating the panel on first presentation, was to discuss it at a work session recently and was expected to be voted on it March 20, a city spokeswoman said.
According to the ordinance, board members would be selected by the Council. They would have to be at least 21 years of age, residents of Milton and subject to the city’s ethics code. The board would select its own officers, adopt its own bylaws and be subject to the Georgia Open Meetings Act.
Initially, half of its members would serve four-year terms and half, three-year terms. After the initial term, all board members would be appointed or reappointed to four-year terms.
