If recent history is a guide,
you'd better bring a pillow if you plan to stay to the end of Thursday's
Peachtree City Council meeting.
In addition to approving the
results of Tuesday's election to fill two council seats, aldermen
face the kind of agenda items that typically have sparked lengthy discussion.
The biggest is consideration
of the establishment of the Peachtree City Tourism Association, Inc.,
a non-profit management board that would oversee operations at the Fred
Brown Jr. Amphitheater and Peachtree City Tennis Center.
The venues have been managed
its contract with the city to provide that service, effective Nov. 30.
The meeting includes three
public hearings, which must be opened up for public debate. The issues
include reaffirming the city's moratoriums on multi-family residential
construction as well as annexation, a topic of debate in the recent election.
Discussions have heated up lately about the future of the so-called Westside
Village, a pocket of unincorporated land wedged between Peachtree City,
Tyrone and the county line.
The council will also hear
a request to rezone the P.K. Wright property on Ga. Highway 74 North,
better known as "The Galleries" tract. The owners want to expand
the allowed retail uses for the building as defined by the city's
Limited Use Commercial ordinance.
Mayor Steve Brown also plans
to recognize the peformance of the city's public safety department
in dealing with the recent Hampton Inn aggravated robbery, rape and fire.
Also, Fire Chief Stony Lohr will be presented with his 10-year Service
Pin on Thursday.
In other business, the Council
is scheduled to:
- Consider a contract
to construct a cart path bridge across the spillway to Rockspray Pond.
- Consider a contract
for survey work for the Perthshire Point stormwater sewer/drainage problems.
- Approve a management
agreement for construction of the Hwy. 54 West sidewalk/multiuse path.
- Consider an amendment
to the city's Alcohol Ordinance as it defines church buildings, an
attempt to eliminate the confusion about what happens when a church locates
in a storefront space near restaurants or stores that sell alcohol.
