To allow for

extra time to discuss possible changes to the city's charter, the Peachtree

City Council will start its meeting Thursday at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.

Council is

also slated to discuss the city clerk position during the regular portion

of the meeting.

The charter

review process has been spearheaded by councilwoman Carol Fritz, who has

said the document needs updating since it was first created back when

the city was much smaller.

City Attorney

Rick Lindsey has been reviewing the charter to suggest possible changes

to council.

One of those

potential changes involves the city clerk position. At its previous meeting,

council voted 4-1 to appoint City Manager Jim Basinger as city clerk for

three months.

Mayor Bob Lenox

had explained that the move was necessary to improve management structure

since the city clerk was the only city employee who doesn't report directly

to Basinger.

Although council

declined to reappoint Nancy Faulkner as clerk, it was said her duties

and pay would not change during the three-month period. Three months would

give council enough time to determine whether any changes could be made

to the charter, since those changes must first be approved by the Georgia

legislature.

Council will

also discuss:

The possibility

of locating a traffic light at the intersection of Ga. Highway 74 north

and the northern entrance to Kedron Drive.

A request

to provide sewer service for the new location of Braelinn Baptist Church,

which would be partially in the city and partially in Tyrone.

A policy to

regulate employee use of e-mail and Internet access.
