Here are the top five stories in Alpharetta-Milton today:

  1. Milton's City Council will consider a proposal to install a permanent restroom at Providence Park and a presentation centered on Wood Road on Monday. Mayor Peyton Jamison and Council members will not take any formal votes because it is a Work Session and not a Regular Meeting. However, they will hear from and can offer direction to City staff. Citizens can attend the Jun. 13 meeting in person, starting at 6 p.m. in City Hall's Council Chambers at 2006 Heritage Walk. (City of Milton, Georgia - Government via Facebook)

  4. Later this morning (Jun. 13) at 11 a.m., Atlanta city leaders are expected to discuss efforts to combat crime at the Fulton County Courthouse.

These trained members are expected to track bond decisions, sentences and other outcomes, especially in cases involving repeat offenders. (CBS 46)
  5. Following the indictment of rapper Young Thug, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has added to her security detail. Willis also added protection due to threats from supporters of former President Donald Trump after she announced a special grand jury in Georgia would be investigating events connected to the presidential election. The D.A. has said she doesn't believe the rapper or anyone involved with the indictment is involved with the threats and implied some wayward fans could be responsible for the threats.
