Senoia mayoral election set for Tuesday

Senoia's residents head

to the polls Tuesday to decide the city's political future.

In the only contested race,

Senoia Mayor Dianne Cleveland faces off against City Councilman Robert

Hannah in the mayor's race.

"I think Senoia's

in great shape," said Cleveland at a political forum in October.

During the campaign, Cleveland

has emphasized the accomplishments of her administration, including getting

the sewer system started, and getting good employees to work for the city.

"The public works department

is excellent. They've always got a smile on their face," she

said.

Cleveland also deflected some

criticism of the city's move toward impact fees.

"We're looking at about

$78,000 in additional revenue each year," she said.

Hannah, who's served on

the City Council for six years, called Cleveland a "good friend,"

but said it was time for real leadership in the city.

"We have got to have personnel

in place that can handle the growth," he said.

Hannah said he was in favor

of the impact fees, but said it could have been done cheaper than the

$20,000 the city is spending on studies.

Both candidates have stated

their opposition to any future annexation efforts and said that bike paths

and walking trails would soon be coming to the city.

The city was also slated to

have a council race, but incumbent Councilman Pat Tunnell withdrew from

the race in October. The remaining two candidates, Anthony Miller and

Larry Owens will appear on the ballot and will be sworn into office in

January.

Polls are open from 7 a.m-7

p.m. Tuesday.
