MEETING
DATE: August 25, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Recreation and Parks
ITEM TYPE: Grant
Approval of a Resolution to apply for and accept a 2026 Cultural Facilities Grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) and budget authorization to apply for the grant.
Item Summary:
In 2026, we aim to establish a foundation for 30 more years of service excellence by replacing Roswell Cultural Arts Center's failing and irreparable dimmer packs. Dimmer packs are essential in theater lighting because they allow precise control over the intensity of each light on stage. By adjusting brightness levels, lighting designers can create mood, focus attention, and support dramatic storytelling. Dimmer packs enable smooth transitions between scenes, simulate natural lighting effects like dawn or dusk, and enhance the emotional impact of a performance. Of the existing 96 dimmers, 5 are inoperable. This project will fully replace the original system and the circuitry that runs between the dimmers and lighting instruments. Further, the new dimmer models are smaller, and modernization will allow the entire system to be transferred from an exterior storage room to a climate-controlled section of the main theater space, which will extend the new system's lifespan to a decade.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On August 12, 2025, the Committees of Council recommended placing this Item on the August 25, 2025 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
The total estimated budget for this project is \$80,000. With a \$40,000 grant and \$40,000 match from the City's grant contingency fund, we will be able to replace the system and circuitry, address labor costs, and move the entire system into a climate-controlled environment inside the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.
Recommended Motion:
Motion to approve a resolution to apply for and accept a 2026 Cultural Facilities Grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts (GCA) and budget authorization to apply for the grant.
Presented by:
Steven Malone, Director of Recreation, Parks, Historic & Cultural Affairs
Georgia Council for the Arts Facilities Grant 2025 Roswell CAC Dimmer Replacement 1.2.a
Explanation & History
A theater dimmer pack is a device that controls the brightness of stage lighting by adjusting the amount of electrical power sent to each connected light fixture.
Here's what it does, in simple terms:
- Receives control signals from a lighting console or controller (usually via DMX or similar protocols).
- Modulates power output to lighting instruments (like fresnels, pars, lekos) based on those signals.
- Dims or brightens lights smoothly, allowing lighting designers to create mood, focus attention, or simulate time-of-day changes.
Key Features:
- Multiple channels: Each dimmer can handle a fixed number of watts, allowing individual lights to be plugged into their circuts. Each dimmer is assigned via a lighting console to control individual lights independantly. (called channels).
- Fader control or digital input: Some are manual, but most are controlled by digital signals.
- Safety protection: Includes circuit breakers or fuses to protect against overload.
Dimmer packs have a life expectancy of 15 years. RCAC's dimmer pack is 20 years old. The circuits that run to these dimmers are failing as well, with 1 in 3 not working as they should. 5 dimmers are non-functional. Failure of the system is likely and would halt all onstage programs until the system is replaced.
The existing RCAC dimmer rack was made by a company that is no longer in business, so no parts or documentation can be acquired any longer to make repairs.
The last full replacement, after a lightning strike in 2006, placed the hardware in a non-climate controlled, non-surge protected area, leaving the system vulnerable to climate and another power surge.
1.2.a
1.2.a
Recommendation
96 new dimmers and aligning circuits must be replaced and brought inside to an environmentally controlled room inside the RCAC. A new modern dimmer rack, produced by industry standard ETC is much smaller and reliable, and can be placed in the building where it is climate controlled and regularly maintained.
Benefits of Modernization
Modern ETC Dimmer Pack
- New dimmers take up ¼ the space and will be able to live inside the cimate controlled RCAC auditorium.
- Scheduled replacement will not interrupt RCAC schedule of rentals and performances. No revenue will be lost if the new product is in place during a planned hiatus.
- The new system will be better protected from weather and power surges due to storms.
- Improved Energy Efficiency and lower heat output
- Better lighting control, smoother fade, no flicker or lag
- Enganced Artistic Ability with subtle transitions and dynamic lighting of scenes in realtime
STATE OF GEORGIA COUNTY OF FULTON August 25, 2025

PROJECT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Overview
The Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department is seeking approval and budget authorization from Mayor and Council to approve the application for a Georgia Council for the Arts Facilities Grant to be submitted by August 29, 2025. Grant award notification is expected to be received by November 2025, with grant project completion by June 30, 2026.
Project Background
In 2026, the Roswell Cultural Arts Center (RCAC) seek to lay a foundation for another 30 years of service excellence by replacing Roswell Cultural Arts Center's failing and irreparable dimmer packs.
Dimmer packs are essential in theater lighting because they allow precise control over the intensity of each light on stage. By adjusting brightness levels, lighting designers can create mood, focus attention, and support dramatic storytelling. Dimmer packs enable smooth transitions between scenes, simulate natural lighting effects like dawn or dusk, and enhance the emotional impact of a performance. Of the existing 96 dimmers, 5 are inoperable. This project will fully replace the original system and the circuitry that runs between the dimmers and lighting instruments. Further, the new dimmer models are smaller, and modernization will allow the entire system to be transferred from an exterior storage room to a climate-controlled section of the main theater space, which will extend the new system's lifespan up to a decade.
Dimmer packs have a life expectancy of 15 years. RCAC's dimmer pack is approaching 20 years old. The circuits that run to these dimmers are failing as well, with 1 in 3 not working properly. 5 dimmers are non-functional. Failure of the system is inevitable and will immediately halt all onstage programs until the system is replaced.
The existing RCAC dimmer rack was made by a company that is no longer in business, so no parts or documentation can be acquired any longer to make repairs. The last full replacement, after a lightning strike in 2006, placed the hardware in anon-climate controlled, non-surge protected area, leaving the system vulnerable to climate and another power surge.
Summary
The grant will fund the replacement of 96 new dimmers, properly align circuits, and the entire unit will be placed and secured in a climate-controlled environment. A new modern dimmer rack is much smaller and reliable and can be fully converted to LED to increase lighting equipment longevity and decrease energy consumption.
The total estimated budget for this project is \$80,000. With a \$40,000 grant award and \$40,000 match from the City's grant contingency fund, we will be able to replace the system and circuitry, address labor costs, and move the entire system into a climate-controlled environment inside Roswell Cultural Arts Center.

MEETING
DATE: August 25, 2025
DEPARTMENT: Economic Development
ITEM TYPE: Ordinance
Approval of an Ordinance to Adopt the Roswell Development Finance Program and Guidelines. (Second Reading)
Item Summary:
The City of Roswell desires to encourage economic development in the City. The Roswell Development Finance Program (RDFP) is an initiative designed to advance this goal and finance qualifying real estate development projects. The program would be established pursuant to Georgia law O.C.G.A. § 17 with the attached ordinance and guidelines.
Qualifying properties include new hotel development projects including ancillary commercial uses (i.e retail and/or office), subject to a minimum completed project value of \$20 million and \$4 million RDFP loan. Eligible improvements include energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and resiliency improvements.
The program will use third-party borrowed capital for the improvements which would be repaid over time through a voluntary special tax assessment placed on the property by the City. Assessments will be billed and collected in installments in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem taxes. The security provided by the tax assessment results in favorable interest rates and amortization term which obligation may be transferred to the next property owner.
The program may be used for new construction only. As designed, it strengthens the case for investment, improving a projects' capital stack and economics with a lower interest rate than what is possible with traditional financing.
Pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 17, the program needs to be administered through one of its development authorities. It is staff's recommendation that the City manage the program through the Roswell Development Authority (RDA) as its territory covers the entire city. The City would be the program administrator through an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) and receive fees for such services as set forth in the proposed guidelines found below:
- Loan Application Fee: \$500 (non-refundable)
- Administration Fee: 1% of loan amount payable at closing
- Legal Fee: 50 basis points of loan amount payable at closing (cap at \$25,000)
1
An intergovernmental agreement with the RDA will be presented at the second reading of the ordinance on August 25, 2025.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On July 28, 2025, Mayor and Council approved the First Reading of this Ordinance. On June 24, 2025 the Committees of Council recommended placing this Item on the July 28, 2025 Mayor and Council Agenda.

Program Overview
The Roswell Development Finance Program is an economic development initiative designed to help finance real estate development projects with favorable terms. Current qualifying projects are new hotel developments including ancillary commercial uses (i.e. retail and/or office), subject to a minimum completed project value of \$20 million and \$4 million loan amount.
The program would be administered through the Roswell Development Authority (RDA) pursuant to Georgia law O.C.G.A. § 17. Eligible improvements include energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and resiliency improvements.
The program shall utlize third-party private capital providers who will enter into financing agreements with eligible property owners and the RDA, pursuant to which eligible improvements shall be financed and shall be repaid over time. Property owners will agree to voluntary special tax assessments placed on the property by the City, which will be assigned to the RDA and pledged to the capital provider to secure repayment of the financing.
In order to evidence the repayment obligation to the capital providers the RDA may issue bonds or notes as authorized by and subject to the limitations in state law. Bonds or notes issued by the RDA under the program shall be special, limited obligations, solely secured by special assessments. Neither the full faith and credit nor taxing power of the City of Roswell is pledged as security for any bond or notes, other than the pledge of special assessments. The security provided by the tax assessment results in favorable interest rates and amortization term which obligation may be transferred to the next property owner.
The program would be used for new construction projects and include refinancings with a year look-back. As designed, the program improves a projects' capital stack and economics.
Why the Program Matters
The Roswell Development Finance Program is a targeted economic development tool. With current high interest rates and construction costs the program will provide the City with a tool to help finance qualifying projects.
This is not a federal loan program, does not utilize the general fund of the City and no public funding shall be utilized to run the program. It does, however utilize state law (O.C.G.A. § 17) which allows development authorities to create programs that use private investment for local real estate development projects.
Program Features
• Target Market: This program would be available for new hotel developments including ancillary commercial uses (i.e retail and/or office), in the City subject to a minimum completed project value of \$20 million and \$4 million loan.
• Eligible Improvements: Per O.C.G.A. § 17 eligible improvements include energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and resiliency improvements such as flood mitigation, fire suppression, wind resilience, energy storage, microgrids, and back-up power.
1.b
• Duration and Transferability: Loan terms may not exceed the weighted average useful life of the improvements. Repayment is secured by a voluntary tax assessment by the City of Roswell, and the obligation may be transferred to the next property owner.
• Interest Rates and Fees: Since the special property tax assessments (i) run with the land, (ii) and are treated as a lien co-equal with municipal taxes, it is considered secure and low-risk, interest rates on eligible improvements are lower. Fees associated with program administration would be set by Mayor and Council.
• Capitalization: Public or private funds may be used to finance property improvements. Private capital from regional banks or national specialty lenders are common for similar programs. The program may also leverage public funding through revenue bond issuance.
• Selective Combination with Property Tax Incentives: The statute defines "qualifying property" to include privately owned or leased commercial real property; therefore, in appropriate circumstances the RDA may agree to permit the program to apply to property owned by the RDA and leased to an eligible property owner under a tax incentive arrangement.
• Valuation Criteria: The financing may not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the property, factoring in the resulting value from improvements or as stabilized. Additionally, the proposed financing and all other debt, may not exceed 80% of the fair market value.
• Lender Consent/Lien Status: Mortgage holder consent will be a requirement for the program. The special assessment will be a Lien against the property until the assessment, interest, and any penalties are paid in full. The assessment will also have the same priority status as a Lien for ad valorem property taxes.
• Administrator/Collection: The program will be administered by the City of Roswell pursuant to an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the RDA. Assessments will be billed and collected in installments in the same manner and at the same time as ad valorem taxes.

Program Overview
In 2024, Chapter 42 (relating to downtown development authorities) and Chapter 62 (relating to development authorities) of Title 36 of the Official Code of Georgia annotated, relating to downtown development authorities and development authorities was amended to authorize such entities to develop programs and provide financing for property improvements; including, energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, and resiliency improvements; the purpose being to develop trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities. The law provides for cities to cooperate with authorities in financing improvements by imposing special assessments on qualifying properties and collection of the assessments. It also grants the Authorities the power to extend credit or make loan or grants secured by loan agreements assessment agreements,
1
mortgages, deeds to secure debt, trust deeds, security agreements, assignments or other instruments which may provide for foreclosure or forced sale upon default.
The Roswell Development Finance Program is intended to facilitate the financing or refinancing of qualifying improvements from the proceeds of revenue bonds, notes or other obligations of the Authority, or from loans by persons, corporations, partnerships which the Authority is authorized to receive in accordance with applicable laws and the Ordinance. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Guide and applicable Governing Law, each such loan, inclusive of principal, interest and any financed fees, costs or expenses, will be repaid through special assessment payments secured by a Lien on a Qualifying Property on which the Project is located. Any bonds, notes or other obligations of the Authority under the Program shall include express language indicating that such obligations do not constitute a general obligation of the Authority, nor the City and are secured, solely by the special property assessment pledged under the relevant agreements.
In furtherance of the Program, the City, through the Ordinance, Intergovernmental Assessment Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth in applicable Georgia and federal law, including the Constitutions of the State of Georgia and the United States, authorizes the Authority to (i) file and record liens on behalf of the City, (ii) assign such liens on behalf of the City, (iii) amend such liens from time to time and (iv) administer, in all respects, the loans respectively evidenced by such Liens. Certain legal requirements for the proper documentation of loans made under the Program and the related liens are included in the Ordinance and as permitted by the Georgia Constitution, particularly Article IX. The Program is intended to be implemented through the Authority and its designated Program Administrator in accordance with the Ordinance, the laws of the State of Georgia and Fulton County. To apply for financing under the Program, the property owner must read, accept, and comply with the terms provided herein (the "Program Terms"). The Program Terms, along with all other documents that property owners execute in connection with the Program (the "Program Documents"), establish the terms of the Program. Property owners should become familiar with and understand the provisions of the Program Terms and the Program Guidelines. By executing the Program Documents, the property owner voluntarily agrees to all of the Program Terms. The City reserves the right to amend these Program Terms from time to time as described below. The Authority and the Program Administrator will administer the Program as authorized and directed by the City.
Purpose of the Program
The purpose of this Program is to further the City's economic development strategy and develop trade, commerce, industry and employment opportunities by assisting owners of property within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Roswell to economically finance and refinance qualifying improvements installed on qualifying property.
