FSS is
planning a major fund-raising effort this year for a new
service center, and costs for its services to Fayette's
senior population continue to increase, said Andy Carden,
director.
The city
provided $12,500 last year, but part of it was in a
special hiring program. Since that program is no longer
needed, the city neglected to include that funding this
year.
But Carden
said the nonprofit organization needs the money for other
purposes.
Council
will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at City Hall.
Also on the
agenda will be reversion of a rezoning on Ga. Highway 54.
Through lawyer Geoff Slade, owners of the Landrum
property near Ace Hardware are asking that council delay
its planned reversal of their earlier rezoning of the
property until a case against them is heard in court.
The owners
are accused of using the property improperly as a parking
lot for dump trucks in violation of its
office-insittutional zoning. A court hearing is scheduled
for March 23.
The Fayette County
legislative delegation will host a town hall meeting
Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Starr's Mill High School
auditorium to discuss Gov. Roy Barnes' education bill,
House Bill 1187.
Sen. Rick
Price, Sen. Greg Hecht, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland and Rep.
Kathy Cox will participate in the open meeting.
The
delegation is asking parents, student teachers
administrators, civic leaders and community residents to
attend and share their thoughts and opinions.
