RED ROSE SALON CELEBRATES RIBBON CUTTING
Red Rose Salon recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony for its business in Braselton.
Deal signs ag education
bill sponsored by local
Governor Nathan Deal was joined by Sen. John
Wilkinson (R-Toccoa) and other legislators from
around the state, as he signed Senate Bill 330 into
law in front of over 6,000 FFA members on April
27.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Wilkinson, creates a
pilot program to develop and implement agricultur
al education in elementary schools and establishes
standards and curriculum for the agricultural educa
tion program for students in grades six through 12.
“I am honored Governor Deal signed this legisla
tion into law and was humbled that the members at
the annual FFA convention could witness this his
toric moment for agriculture education,” said Sen.
Wilkinson. “Many students across our state, wheth
er in rural cities or large metropolitan areas, are
disconnected with the role agriculture plays in their
everyday lives. From what we eat to what we wear,
agriculture plays a vital role in our state’s economy
and this program will help bring to light just how
crucial agriculture is to students across Georgia. I
would like to especially thank my colleagues in the
Senate and House, Lt. Governor Cagle and Speaker
Ralston for their support of agriculture education.”
The legislation was signed at the 90th annual
FFA Convention at the Macon Centreplex, which
was attended by FFA members and advisors from
across the state. The legislation was introduced in
January 2018 and passed the Senate and the House
unanimously.
Braselton budget
draws no comment
at public hearing
By Ron Bridgeman
The proposed fiscal year 2019 budget for Braselton
drew no comments at a public hearing Thursday.
The general fund budget is projected to increase by
about 3.5 percent, $193,295, to $5.7 million and the
utility fund is projected to increase by 10.7 percent,
$681,750, to $7,048,750.
The town council is expected to approve the budget
near the end of June. A specific date has not been set.
The fiscal year starts July 1.
The hearing on the budget lasted only a few min
utes.
Town manager Jennifer Scott said cost for con
sultants will be up in 2019. Consultants will require
nearly triple the amount for the current year. Cost
will go up to $120,000 from $44,000 for the current
year in the planning department. Another $6,000 is
budgeted for engineering costs that are not in the
current budget and dues and fees also expected to be
up $6,000.
Scott explained the council has “quite a few proj
ects you wanted to look at” in the coming year.
She also pointed out that costs for dues and fees
will increase about $14,000 in the police department.
She said that will cover fees for computers in all of
the patrol cars.
Scott also said the department is very near its full
staff of 20 employees - 15 on patrol. Salaries also
are projected to increase about $100,000. That, too,
is because of the full staff.
Revenue for growth is projected at lower rates.
Building permit revenue is estimated at $650,000,
$100,000 less than the budget for the current year.
Baselton impact fees are projected at $400,000, also
$100,000 less than projected for the current year.
In economic development, the town expects to
increase its spending on event publicity. It is estimat
ed at $82,000, up from this year’s $53,000. The cost
of marketing materials also is expected to go up to
$70,000 from the current year’s $55,000.
In utilities, the wastewater department is projected
to be up $155,000 - to $1.6 million - and the water
department is set to spend $241,000 more - to $1.9
million.
One area of decreased cost is for debt service,
down about $217,000, to $1.3 million from $1.5
million.
