The City of

Senoia took a step closer to a new public works building Monday night.

The City Council

approved specifications for a 60 feet wide by 125 feet building.

For years,

the city has been using the old Brantley Institute building, but it does

not own the building. Now, the City Council is looking at sites to place

its new building and discussed the sites in executive session Monday night.

The building

is estimated to cost $128,000 and city administrator Murray McAfee said

the bulk of the funds would be pulled out of the Special Purpose Local

Option Sales tax.

At first, City

Councilman Bill Wood balked at approving the specifications, since he

felt the city should have a site approved.

But McAfee

explained the building specs would work at any of the sites under consideration,

and approval did not hold the City Council liable for any expenses in

drawings for the building.

The council

passed the specifications unanimously.
