🏡 The Gist: Milton is organizing a workshop to clarify the roles and responsibilities of HOAs and the City, focusing on issues like permitting and public vs. private property distinctions.
📅 The Details: Milton’s City Hall will be the venue for an engaging workshop intended for HOA board members, slated for 5:30 p.m. on May 14 in the Council Chambers. This session aims to enhance understanding among HOA leaders about their duties and how they intersect with city government.
Topics will include permitting processes, landscaping responsibilities, and the nuances of public versus private streets. The workshop will feature insights from the City’s Community Development department along with representatives from the Police and Fire departments, discussing how their roles impact local communities.
🌳 The Big Picture: The workshop is part of Milton’s broader initiative to foster clearer communication and collaboration between the City and its residential communities, particularly those governed by HOAs. This is crucial as HOAs play a significant role in community management but must operate within the framework of city laws and regulations.
🤝 Why It Matters: For HOA leaders, understanding where their authority begins and ends, and how to effectively interact with city officials, is vital for smooth community operations and compliance with local ordinances. This workshop provides a platform for learning and direct dialogue with city staff.
📬 What’s Next?: HOA leaders interested in receiving regular updates from the city are encouraged to register their contact details via the Milton city website. For more specific information about the workshop or to address preliminary inquiries, participants can reach out to Zoning Technician Rema Abdelfattah.

In The Know: While much attention is given to national politics and the workings of Congress and the White House, local government meetings are where the decisions that impact your daily life are made. City Council, County Commission, School Board Meetings, and Town Halls are where your elected leaders discuss and decide the issues that most effect your family and your community. These meetings are open to the public.
