Ambituous agenda for 1st N. High Shoals City Council meeting in a long time
The business of municipalities never stops, even with the titular head of the local government in absentia for nearly a year. The wheels have turned, the papers have been signed, and new people have assumed office and duties. So I am nearly giddy that the wonderful small town of North High Shoals will conduct some honest city council meeting activities on a Federal Holiday evening. There are some amazing individuals at the confluence of Oconee, Walton and Morgan counties, and they deserve an equally accessible representation by their local peers. Congratulations to the new City Council members Post 3 – David Lawrence and Post 4 – Stephen Arnold and to interim Mayor Violet Dawe. May the meeting run smoothly and as quick as the local residents will allow. Here is the agenda for that meeting swiped from Steve Holzman's blog.
I wonder who will make an appearance for Family Life Enrichment Center, as this is the business belonging to former Mayor Jeff Thomas. They may not even have to make an appearance to get a municipal business license renewal.
