The lack of

serious Y2K problems in Peachtree City over the New

Year's weekend is largely due to the efforts of some key

city staff members, said Mayor Bob Lenox.

Systems

administrator Brad Williams, public information

specialist Betsy Tyler, facilities maintenance head David

McDaniel and acting fire chief Stony Lohr have been

singled out for recognition by the City Council due to

their intensive planning and preparation in the months

leading up to the end of 1999.

Lenox said

that the plan these people put in place, which

fortunately was not seriously tested, can be used in the

case of any major catastrophe that may strike the city.

All senior

city management worked New Year's Eve, Lenox told

residents during last week's City Council meeting,

"just in case."

comprehensive Y2K plan was announced by the city last

summer, and a central command center was established

during the actual holiday to facilitate a higher level of

readiness in case major power problems or other trouble

came up.
