The Fayetteville City Council

will gather at Callaway Gardens next weekend for its annual retreat, beginning

Friday afternoon and continuing through Sunday morning.

The three-hour session Friday,

beginning at 3 p.m., will consist of a five-year financial forecast, according

to an agenda released late last week. Plans concerning staff and capital

improvement programs are expected to be discussed.

Saturday morning's session

begins with a discussion of the city's old wastewater treatment plant

and options concerning its possible reactivation. That will be followed

ordinance and an update on several development projects, such as The Village,

the proposed south side master plan, the third phase of Fayette Pavilion,

and future annexation issues.

City Attorney David Winkle

is expected to give an update on pending litigation and other legal issues.

This is the only portion of the retreat that would likely be closed to

the public, much like an executive session after a regular council meeting.

Also scheduled for Saturday

afternoon is a discussion of a Georgia Tech fiscal impact land use planning

study, along with update of various Main Street and Downtown Development

Authority programs, such as construction and financial status of bond

projects and issues regarding the historic preservation ordinance.

Other matters on Saturday's

agenda include county tax equity, the county jail agreement, intersection

improvements at Ramah and Redwine roads, and water service at Lakeside

on Redwine.

A brief session is scheduled

for Sunday morning to review the city's mission statement, goals and objectives,

and strategic plan.

The council will convene Thursday

night at City Hall for its regular meeting.
