Summary

A resident raised multiple public-comment items: requests that the city post meeting changes as Facebook events, questions about where wastewater treatment information appears in the budget, and a request to update state filings that reference Pilgrim’s Pride needing 1 million gallons of capacity.

During public comment, resident Mr. Scranton asked the council to improve how it posts meeting changes (for example, using Facebook events) so residents can more easily learn of schedule changes.

He also asked where information about the city’s wastewater treatment plant appears in the budget report and said he believed the city’s filing with the state still lists Pilgrim’s Pride as needing 1 million gallons of capacity for a rendering plant even though Pilgrim’s Pride has reportedly said it is not coming. "I believe that that's still the current accurate report sitting on the DPD's desk for the state of Georgia...it's been 3/4 of a year since Pilgrim said they're not coming," he said, and asked when the city will update what it tells the state.

The council acknowledged the comment and moved on to other business; the transcript does not record an immediate answer or a formal directive to update the state filing.
