The Fairburn

City Council votedunanimously last week to adopt a resolution to enforce

codes along major corridors between incorporated and unincorporated Fulton

County. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners created the resolution

in hopes of preserving the quality of life in Fulton County and retain

property values.

City Administrator

Jim Williams was authorized to establish a pilot project to develop policies

and procedures of code enforcement.

In addition,

a final plat was approved for The Magnolias subdivision just north of

Duncan Park on Rivertown Road. Three lots were reconfigured to better

suit the homes to be built on them. Separated into two lots with a green

space between them the council unanimously passed the plans. After clarifying

the request Councilman Glenn Higgins said he "wanted to make sure

we aren't passing something that is a liability to the city."

A short discussion

of the city's millage rate ended with a recommendation to not increase

it from 6 mills. The city is expected to adopt a final budget by the end

of September.
