Troche said the department is \"elevating 15 of our finest to the rank of fire apparatus operators\" and announced four new full-time firefighter-paramedics. He said the appointments \"reflect the city of Roswell's ongoing evolution, expanding capacity, enhancing operational readiness, and investing in leadership from the ground up.\" Troche asked attendees to hold applause until the end of the roll call of promoted personnel.

Chief Troche named a list of promoted fire apparatus operators during the ceremony, including Adam Alexander, Bradley Todlelet, Justin Bloom, Thomas Bott, Daniel Coburn, Maurice Gates, Nicholas Ampalazzeri, Miguel Jimenez, Nick Leslie, Emmanuel Rios, Nathan Ricketts, Max Rogers, Christopher Smith and John Wayne Junior. Troche stated 15 individuals were elevated; 14 names were read aloud during the announcement.

The department also introduced four new full-time firefighter-paramedics: Andrew Riley (14 years of experience, previously with Atlanta and Alpharetta), Brandigail Sadowski (4 years of experience, including Milton, with community paramedicine experience), Kyle Phillips (6 years, including service in Florida; noted as a U.S. Army veteran), and Colton Stevens (3 years, previously in Hall County; smoke diver and part‑time arborist). Mayor Kurt Wilson then administered the oath of office to the promoted and newly hired personnel.

The event was ceremonial; no council vote was required for the swearing-in. Council and staff acknowledged the promotions and hires and presented a ceremonial flag and challenge coin related to Captain James R. Burdum's service earlier in the meeting. No policy changes or budget actions were taken during the ceremony.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Roswell City Council: Regular Meeting (June 9, 2025)","oneSentenceSummary","Interim Fire Chief Pavel Troche announced promotions of 15 fire apparatus operators and the hiring of four full‑time firefighter-paramedics; the mayor administered the oath during a public swearing-in ceremony on June 9.","taxTitle","Roswell, Fulton County, Georgia","taxId",2962,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6209761,"Roswell adopts short-term rental licensing and inspection ordinance with six-month ramp-up",801,3026000,3827000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3732915-7a2a59aa1b36cab09ab9bef6d38af980&start=3026&end=3827","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3732915-7a2a59aa1b36cab09ab9bef6d38af980/thumbnail_3026000.jpg","/articles/6209761/Roswell/Fulton-County/Georgia/Roswell-adopts-short-term-rental-licensing-and-inspection-ordinance-with-six-month-ramp-up","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6209761-f4a2458ed0611284f239ae9b8d4d932d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135309&Signature=KK6B90bxzKrvrHEeHWpivMF-xA7d5UjoZeNiTpow4PgtrHtuA7gN1t5zvsY-fwyPaC~jGL2tDGEZIJ9jIyno8kP9NXmXyi55Pyu6oYwIsK07q~tKFTdQcpwXQFb6ncEjgYASbRQlxk3lc0QM-~ZbJNKCYwJod~vIuOsdDAT9ZtFvcwwmzSzBa1Djvm6BAGr8prMdICJ~yIz06RqfoV9cPYE2zLLTZdsnC8Iv2DtcTy8JtLqc5CDC4ws8PF1~mbO84HvxnBKWVtimonWYm20f3YzcXFEvt6FtpExx9LBF1Z5v4kw99UCrUGfxKgM5b9ssCeTPhZF0w2Oq6cshkVo9Ig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roswell City Council on June 9 approved an ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the city Code of Ordinances to permit and regulate short-term rentals within the city.

Community Development Director Michelle Alexander told the council the ordinance requires hosts who rent properties through platforms such as Airbnb or VRBO to secure a license so properties can be inspected by the fire marshal for common safety hazards and so the city can maintain 24/7 contact information for operators. \"It requires that they achieve, secure a license so that they can get their homes checked and inspected for occupational hazard and safety through the fire marshal,\" Alexander said.

Council member Sarah Beeson, who led the item in committee, said the change is designed to protect visiting guests, homeowners and neighbors by ensuring working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, operable ingress and egress, and other basic safety features. \"This is really to focus on the safety of people who are coming to visit us in Roswell,\" Beeson said. She emphasized the ordinance is not intended to eliminate short-term rentals and noted cities differ in approach; the council referenced Alpharetta's cap on short-term rentals and discussion of Athens' more rigorous rules.

Assistant City Attorney Joe Cusack and staff said there will be a registration ramp-up: owners will be required to register the following year with roughly a six-month on-ramp to allow the city to notify operators and implement the licensing process. Cusack described the period as a leeway for existing operators to register and be accounted for.

During public comment, a resident identified as Roman asked whether surrounding jurisdictions have comparable rules and whether the city had specific safety incidents that prompted the change. Staff and councilors responded that similar ordinances exist in nearby jurisdictions and that the ordinance was motivated by safety concerns documented in incidents elsewhere, including a cited out-of-state case involving carbon monoxide. Council member David Johnson noted other local jurisdictions, including Athens, have more stringent requirements such as owner presence and annual inspections.

Council member Beeson moved to approve the final reading of the ordinance; Council member David Johnson seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 5-0. The ordinance text, identified in the reading as Chapter 10, Article 18, will be incorporated by reference into the city code, and staff will begin the registration and enforcement process according to the ramp-up timeline described at the meeting.","The City of Roswell on June 9 adopted an ordinance requiring short-term rental hosts to obtain licenses, submit to safety inspections, and provide 24/7 contact information; the ordinance includes a registration ramp-up and drew questions from residents about scope and enforcement.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6209765,"Roswell council approves ordinance allowing wine at select special event facilities",259,2868000,3127000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3732915-7a2a59aa1b36cab09ab9bef6d38af980&start=2868&end=3127","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3732915-7a2a59aa1b36cab09ab9bef6d38af980/thumbnail_2868000.jpg","/articles/6209765/Roswell/Fulton-County/Georgia/Roswell-council-approves-ordinance-allowing-wine-at-select-special-event-facilities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6209765-ac945b990ab21e911a559d4d2f79201e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135309&Signature=YGJFLWC6F5Rl2uCT~nTrjutiEphyKRVoFwXctWl4sy5kI4rFfWF79WXGL1glZiDDaXGRRGOg9H48XPJWt9daJglgdprYZFLiJzARXOCHkXyCheHBTcqpDdPEvyMvQleKDb1dpffLtjMri9hqaqbPhvNuWLR7zrZcjnjErtXCj19pcJioEwKJcDdRVMhf9Io5NMpwnOWrlmAT82Xe8JtXY6-Dg85yK5dL-iWaqM06MFcBAUEbV7zOZxggwumXkRPvtIRBi1PFEOUvYcPWbElHlOqhxITl2SrU9y-rVaNliPJIt5CzmGGob5bL704YsR0WtJdhL5f8C~6REiyJlRN1QA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Roswell City Council unanimously approved an ordinance June 9 amending Chapter 3 of the city code to permit wine to be brought into certain special event facilities under specified conditions.

Council member Lee Hills, describing a forthcoming cooking school in the Eastside/East Village, said the change is intended to allow participants to bring wine to enjoy with their meals and to receive pairing guidance from instructors. \"This is for a cooking school ... allowing folks that are participating in the cooking class to be able to bring a bottle of wine in so that they can enjoy that with their meal,\" Hills said.

Assistant City Attorney Joe Cusack read the ordinance as an amendment to Chapter 3, Article 7, Section 7 of the Code of Ordinances. City Clerk Nancy Long presented the reading. Hills moved to approve the reading of the ordinance; Council member David Johnson seconded. The motion passed 5-0.

The change was characterized by council members as a targeted update to allow a specific type of business operation rather than a broad relaxation of alcohol rules. Council members did not identify additional regulatory changes such as hours of service or sales licensing in the hearing; the approved text replaces the cited section of the city code and is incorporated by reference into the ordinance.

No resident speakers opposed the amendment during the item, and council did not direct further study or amendments at the meeting. The ordinance was approved at the reading on a unanimous vote and will be incorporated into the city code as described during the reading.

The council vote was recorded as unanimous, with five votes in favor and no votes against. Alan Sells was noted as absent from the meeting.","The City of Roswell on June 9 approved an amendment to Chapter 3 of the city code permitting wine to be brought into certain special event facilities, a change described by council members as intended to support a new cooking school in Eastside/East Village.","actionData","errors"]
