GILLSVILLE — The Gillsville Town Council on March 3 adopted a new right-of-way permit ordinance, approved a revised General Election ordinance and awarded contracts for downtown and park grass cutting.
Mayor Wade Dale introduced the right-of-way (ROW) permit ordinance after it was recommended by attorney David Syfan; Council Member Keith Segars moved to adopt the ordinance and the permitting form, Todd Dale seconded and all council members present voted in favor. The ordinance formalizes a permitting process for work in town rights of way.
The council then approved a revised General Election Ordinance. Council Member Todd Dale moved to accept the revision, Ricky Sutton seconded and the motion passed with unanimous support from those present. The transcript records adoption but does not specify changes to election procedures beyond naming the ordinance as "revised."
Bids for grass cutting at the town's downtown properties and the town park were opened and reviewed; the council determined to award both contracts to Roy Turpin after discussion. The meeting record does not include the dollar amounts of the awards or the competing bidders.
