As predicted, the Fayetteville City Council decided to keep its millage

rate the same for the coming fiscal year at a special called meeting Tuesday

night.

The motion to hold the millage had been made at a previous meeting, but

that was before a glitch in the county's tax digest calculations was

discovered at the tax commissioner's office. All of the county's

municipalities, the county commission and the school board were required

to re-vote on their millage rates because of the snafu.

The meeting was Tuesday because the last regularly scheduled council meeting

was wiped out by heavy rains and winds from Hurricane Ivan.

Council also unanimously approved a new alcohol serving license for O'Charley's

Restaurant, which is close to opening in the Fayette Pavilion. Also approved

was a change in alcohol license representative for the Ruby Tuesday's

restaurant.

Because the previous regular council meeting was cancelled, a number of

items were postponed and added to the next meeting date Thursday, Oct. 7.
