County Commissioner Leigh Schlumper wants to see the county work better

with the cities.

Early Tuesday

evening, Schlumper said she'd like to see the county take another look

at its landscape and sign ordinances.

The commissioner

is troubled by areas in the county that adjoin city property.

"On one

side of the road, you can do something because it's in the city, but on

the other side you can't because it's in the county," she said.

Schlumper would

like to see cooperative efforts between the county and cities to perhaps

have a uniform sign and landscape ordinance that could be modeled on Newnan's

current ordinances.

While the other

commissioners understood Schlumper's point, they were a little reluctant

to start adopting a municipality's ordinances.

"I don't

want to adopt an ordinance by a smaller town. We have to cover the whole

county," said Commissioner Vernon "Mutt" Hunter.

Commissioner

Jim McGuffey agreed the situation needed studying, but said the commission

should do what's best for the county.

The commissioners

agreed that staff should look into the issue and report back to the board.
