A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT


To amend an Act creating a new charter for the City of Sugar Hill, approved May 14, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 3546), as amended, so as to change the corporate limits of the city; to provide an effective date; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF GEORGIA:

SECTION 1.
An Act creating a new charter for the City of Sugar Hill, approved May 14, 2003 (Ga. L. 2003, p. 3546), as amended, is amended by revising Section 1.11 as follows:

"SECTION 1.11.
Corporate boundaries.

The City of Sugar Hill shall encompass all of the territory described within the following boundaries:

(a) The boundaries of the city shall be those existing on the effective date of the adoption of this charter and as further described in Exhibit A, which is attached to and incorporated in this charter by reference. Upon the adoption of this charter, the boundaries of the city shall include all of that area as described in the previous city charter (Ga. L. 1975, p. 3232), as well as any areas added by amendment to said charter, and by all annexation ordinances adopted by the mayor and council of the City of Sugar Hill since the adoption of that charter. The boundaries of the city shall include those areas as shown on a map titled the Official Map of the Corporate Limits of the City of Sugar Hill, Georgia, dated March, 2007, which map shall be retained permanently in the office of the city clerk and which map is incorporated herein by reference. Alterations of the boundary of the city may be made from time to time in any manner provided by law. Boundaries of the city shall be shown at all times on a map to be retained permanently in the office of the city clerk and entitled Official Map of the Corporate Limits of the City of Sugar Hill, Georgia. Photographic, typed, or other copies of such maps certified by the city clerk shall be admitted as evidence in all courts and shall have the same force and effect as with the original map.
(b) The city council may provide by ordinance for the redrawing of such map to reflect lawful changes in the corporate boundaries. The redrawn map shall supercede for all purposes the entire map or maps which it is designated to replace."

SECTION 2.
Said Act is further amended by designating the language contained in Exhibit A as subsection (a) and adding a new subsection to Exhibit A to read as follows:
"(b) The boundaries of the City of Sugar Hill, Georgia, are intended to also include and shall be hereby declared to include all of the area included within the corporate boundaries upon the effective date of this Act which includes all areas added through amendments to the charter (Ga. L. 2003, p. 3546) and all properties added by all annexation ordinances adopted by the mayor and council of the City of Sugar Hill since the adoption of that charter, which properties are intended to include and shall be hereby declared to include all of the property included in the tax parcels set forth below as those tax parcels exist on the tax rolls and the tax maps of Gwinnett County for the year 2006 and all of the public roadways and right of ways adjacent to those parcels, including railroad rights of way lying adjacent to those parcels or to public roadways adjacent to those parcels.
