The Reynolds City Council approved a package of routine and administrative actions at its March 16 meeting, including the sale of a city lot, authorization for police grant applications, a generator purchase, and a new trash contract.
City Clerk Sissy McLaughlin opened the only sealed bid received for a property on Elm Street and reported the award to Public Service Co. for the minimum bid of $20,000. Bill Mims moved to accept the bid; George Stokes seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Fire Chief Sam McCrary reported the department had six calls since the prior meeting, two of which were cancelled, and said the Fire Department will sell food at the upcoming Strawberry Festival. In the police report the Police Chief (name not recorded in the minutes) thanked Flint Energies for a $8,200 donation for workout equipment and Georgia Recovery for donating a drone.

Public Works Director Scott Jones updated the council on electrical issues at City Hall, Tim's Grill and a rental building and advised against installing a generator at those sites until wiring is updated; the council separately approved a generator purchase from Peachtree Powerhouse for $37,645 to be paid from solar funds.
