Officials said Monday Fairburn's

Police Department is a little too overcrowded and has caused severe space

problems.

During Monday's City Council

meeting, the council voted to approve relocation of the court and some

of its related activities to the Incubator building.

It was made known by a recent

evaluation of the Fairburn Police Department that there were severe space

problems within the department. City councilmen concluded that the easiest,

fastest, and most inexpensive way to solve the problem would be to relocate

the court to the Incubator building.

The Incubator building has

never been fully utilized, and for the most part, has sat vacant for some

time, however, councilmen are proposing to remodel the large rear area

of the Incubator for a court room.

This would open up space in

the Police Department now occupied by the court room, two clerks and record

storage for the court. It is estimated the entire relocation can be done

for less than $20,000. Councilmen also approved the money for the relocation

to be funded within the general operating budget.
