Brooks

Town Council last week approved a $10,000 loan to

help run water lines down Brooklet Way.

Residents

of the street will pay half of the $20,950 cost

of the project, with the town Water Department

paying the rest, using the loan from the city.

If

residents sign on during the first 60 days of the

project, they can pay the town over a 24-month

period, interest free. After the line is

completed, those tapping on must pay their entire

share of $2,210 at one time. The amount

represents $1,300 for the line plus an additional

$900 tap-on fee.

The

water department will repay the loan over five

years, with interest.

In

other action, council members discussed a $10,000

grant received from Coweta-Fayette EMC to be used

to grade and sod an additional 13 acres of its

recreation land. The town is asking Fayette

County to use its grading equipment to assist in

the project. The work must be done by Jan. 1, or

the town will lose the grant.

Jean

Atkinson was approved as a new member of the town

water committee.

Dan

Langford Jr., councilman and chairman of the

cemetery committee, announced the resignation of

committee members Allen Putman and Rodney Carson

due to health reasons. The resignations were

accepted and two new members were appointed,

Kenneth Spaller and Al Hardy.

Council

also agreed to allow the cemetery committee to

hire Jerry Lynch at the rate of $10 an hour to

sell lots and to lay out lots as needed.

Elections

were announced for Tuesday, Nov. 2, with posts 3,

4 and 5 coming up for consideration. Those

wishing to qualify must do so at the county Board

of Elections office, 140 W. Stonewall Ave.,

Fayetteville. There is a qualifying fee of $15
