Tattoos, roosters, and sinkholes? Oh my!

The future of domesticated fowl inside the city limits was briefly considered near the end of the new business section of the Watkinsville City Council meeting Wednesday evening at Community Center, but the biggest news might be what the executive session yielded in terms of possible future litigation against the city.

Speculation abounds as to whether the much ballyhooed problems in a section of downtown businesses could be the source of concern, or could it be something much more nefarious and or insidious? We will find out and report shortly.

Watkinsville will apparently allowed chicken and roosters in the yard if they are contained, and a sinkhole remains in the back of yard on Katie Lane.

A boilerplate tattoo ordinance was inked from Oconee code with no tattoo and body piercing places on the horizon out here after a second public hearing.

Victoria Albanese received a business license for her Victoria Albanese LCSW, LLC counseling and contracts with DFACS social work and private practice office on 47 Greensboro Highway, Suite 3. She has worked in the Madison area for some time in Morgan County.

Eric Kenny appeared for his wife's business School Fundraising Specialists, LLC at 1011 Mackenzie Lane. They work with elementary and middle schools fundraising with candy, wrapping paper, and cookie dough as a ways for kids to come knocking on your doors.

Far more involved was the review of Robert Bishop's Watkinsville Metal Recycling at 1401 Greensboro Highway because of an outdoor dumpster left after the previous business JCB Enterprises. Conditions had been associated with the property previously and will keep the dumpster inside. Council members questioned the possibility of fencing or screening around the dumpster.

The budgeting process was open with requests for funding with Jackie Elsner talking about closing hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the Library (they got $11,000.00 last year from the city) and a request for recycling containers and a three point line and free throw line painted on the court of Harris Shoals Park.

Police will ticket you if you are going 19 miles per hour over the speed limit but you will get a warning at only 16 miles per hour over, according to Mayor Charles Ivie.  He was really hoping for a pre-Civil War cemetery to be added to the property being given from the state to the municipality, but it belongs to someone else.
