Tyrone

residents will get a first-hand presentation on

the need for a county jail this week.

County

Commissioner Greg Dunn will address the Tyrone

Town Council Thursday night about the need for

municipalities to join the effort in building a

new county jail.

Dunn

is expected to ask the council to approve adding

an additional impact fee to development in the

town to help pay for the jail.

Other

items on Thursday's agenda include:

� More discussion of having a

canine unit with the police force. Last month,

the town tabled a decision on paying for a drug

dog. Chief Roger Spencer is expected to ask for

approval of funds for the dog and provide the

town exact guidelines for how the dog would be

used.

� An initial talk about the

impact of Peachtree City's proposed West Village

on the town. The 1,100-acre proposed village

borders Tyrone and town officials want to study

how the property will be developed.

The

meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. at Tyrone Town Hall.
