City Manager reports tax-collection actions, staffing vacancies, inspections and project kickoffs
Summary
City Manager Lanier Dunn presented the May operations report noting Fi-Fas filed for 72 delinquent tax accounts, multiple departmental vacancies, Public Service Commission inspections and meter replacements in the Natural Gas Department, and scheduled pre-construction meetings for utility projects including the Dill’s Water Main and Sewer Plant Filter projects.
City Manager Lanier Dunn presented the city’s operations report for May, outlining tax-collection activity, staffing changes and ongoing infrastructure work.
Dunn reported that Fi-Fas were filed to collect delinquent property-tax accounts: 61 in Franklin County and 11 in Hart County. He said Niki Parks was hired in the Police Department as a patrol officer but vacancies remain: two patrol vacancies in the Police Department, two positions in Public Works (1 CDL driver and 1 laborer), one vacancy in the Natural Gas Department (trainee or experienced technician), and one vacancy in the Water Department (operator or trainee).
Natural Gas Department staff prepared for two Public Service Commission inspections this summer (Public Awareness Program and Drug and Alcohol Testing Program), replaced some very old meters and painted others because of atmospheric corrosion concerns, and noted that Austin Rose was recertified in welding during May.
The city received notice on May 16 of a $400,000 EIP grant for the Dill’s Water Main project (award by Ga. DCA); the Phase 1 Environmental Review was completed and a concurrent notice published May 22. Pre-construction kickoff meetings for the Raw Water Intake Project and the Sewer Plant Filter Project were scheduled for June 11 with contractors and a GEFA representative.
Public Works reported that Daniel Street and Winn Street were paved in early May with LMIG funds. Building and code enforcement reported a new-home construction permit for 119 College Street, a demolition permit for 55 Aaron Street, two feral cats transferred to NEGAS after a resident complaint, two dogs picked up (one returned, one adopted), nine grass/weed letters sent, 23 grass/weed door hangers delivered, and three junk-accumulation warnings issued.
The report was informational and no separate council action was recorded beyond acceptance of the grant terms and project-related motions earlier in the meeting.
