Could it be

"Lights, camera, council!"?

At its meeting

Thursday night, the Peachtree City Council will discuss the possibility

of airing council meetings on a local cable access channel. Councilman

Dan Tennant asked for the matter to be put on the agenda, although the

idea was originally visited in 1998 before it was abandoned due to high

costs and a survey that indicated little interest from local residents.

AT&T Broadband

has agreed to equip city hall for broadcast at no cost to the city, according

to a memo to council. However, there still could be a significant expense

to operate the equipment at the meetings, staff believes.

Council also

is scheduled to discuss possible term limits for members of its various

commissions and authorities along with discussion about council's meeting

rules and procedures. Those items were postponed from the previous council

meeting which was slowed by the handling of the Wal-Mart conceptual site

plan appeal and the adoption of a "big box" ordinance.
