Bridge Patrol Visits Summerville
The bridge patrol visited Summerville
during the past week and spotted this
bridge on First Street at Economy Street,
with one railing torn away. A proposal is
in the works for the Georgia Department
of Transportation (DOT) to replace the
bridge providing the city is able to obtain
the rights-of-way required by the state. If
OKAYED BY COUNCIL
Variance To Assist
Shopping Center
Summerville's Mayor and
Council Monday night
unanimously approved a
variance in the city's zoning or
dinance that will fi’elp pave the
way for a new shopping center
for the town.
David Soloff of Crown Pro
perties sought a reduction from
10 to five parking spaces per
1,000 feet of sales area in the
city's zoning ordinance. He in
dicated that a shopping area
containing more than 55,000
square feet is expected to be
located on Highway 114 at its
intersection with Highway 27
fin Surihiervifle:
"..A total of 283 parking
sgaces would be provided for
the center if the requirement
were to be lowereg by the
Council. Otherwise, he said, the
property would not be large
enoufih to build the center,
which will feature a large
grocery store, a pharmacy and
a variety of smaller shops.
The company also plans to
relocate part of Town Creek
and design work is currently
under way, Soloff indicated.
After a brief discussion, the
Council agreed unanimously to
the zoning variance.
No timetable for the pro
posed shopping center was im
mediately available.
AUDIT BIDS
In other action, the city
opened six bids by firms seek
ing to do the annual audit for
the city. The Council decided to
postpone action on awarding a
contract until its November
meeting. The firms were
Haynes, Moore and Vanlan
dingham, Rome, $8,975; Ed
Staton, Dalton, $9,500; Finney
and Moore, Rome, $7,250;
Timothy Mason, Lafayette,
$8,000; Chambers and Wilson,
Marietta, $10,500; and Reed,
Martin and Slickman, Rome,
$8,750.
The Council also voted to
expand jurisdiction of the Sum
merville Downtown Develop
ment Authority from Town
Creek to the west side of the
Southern Railway Co. boun
dry, a short distance.
ZONING
Grady McCalmon, city
manager, said the city’s revis
ed proposed zoning ordinance
ancr zoning map are complete
and need to be inspected by the
Council. A first reading on the

that is not possible, the city anticipates
replacing the bridfie within the existing
right-of-way. The DOT also plans to pay
for replacing the bridge on Lyerly Street
in Summerville (not pictured) after the re
quired rights-of-way are obtained by the
city. (Staff Photo).
ordinance could be held at the
Council's November meeting
and a public hearing and adop
tion at the December meeting.
A fifth member also needs to
be named to the Zoning Board,
he said.
McCalmon also announced
that the city has again entered
into an agreement with the
Georgia Department of
Human Resources for energy
assistance for needy local
residents.
Meanwhile, the Council
voted to establish a setup fee
of $lO plus $1.50 per thousand
gallons of water o%tained from
city water meters. A portable
meter will be providl:ad. city
employees indicated. A recom
mendation may be forthcoming
in November on what to do
with the city's Oil Mill Road
water facilities, McCalmon
said.
GAS HIKE
Natural gas rates charged
by the city will go in the
November bills. The Council
voted to pass on to customers
a five-cent per thousand cubic
feet increase to city residents
and a 12-cent per thousand
cubic feet increase to
customers outside the city
limits. Another small increase
may also be likely in
November, effective in the
December bills, the Council
was told. McCalmon said
Southern Natural Gas, from
which the city buys its gas, ap
pears to be going to ‘‘summer”
and “winter" rates, with higher
rates in the winter. This
winter's charges may be slight
ly lower than those of %ast
winter, Mayor Sewell Cash
indicated.
Butch Eleam was ap
pointed to the Summerville In
dustrial Development Authori
ty, succeeding Eddy Ellen
burg, who has moveg outside
the city limits.
McCalmon told the Council
that the city’'s monthly water
loss is 14 to 16 percent, due to
non-working or incorrect water
meters. A more ideal figure
would be 10 to 12 percent, he
indicated. The Council is ex
pected to consider a meter
replacement program at its
November meeting.
AGREEMENT
The Council authorized the
mayor to sign a maintenance
agreement on four bridges due
to be replaced by the DOT:
First Street, Lyerly Street,
Scoggins Street and Curran
Street.
Mayor Cash said he hoped
to have a definite report on the
amount of delinquent city
taxes collected so far at the
Council’'s November meeting.
The Council approved
$6,976 in expenditures for 110
gas meters and related connec
tions from Neal's Metal Repair.
The meters will go into the ci
ty's inventory.
Some $1,901.40 of supplies
were approved for purchase for
the city water def)artment
from Tri-State Supply. Mayor
Cash said the proposal was the
lowest of four bids.
Police Chief Arlen Thomas
said he estimated it would cost
around $1,400 to convert an ex
isting police car to an in
vesti¥ator‘s car. If the posi
tion, first proposed earlier this
fall, were to be approved, it
could be filled from within the
department, Thomas said.
“BITE BULLET”
Mayor Cash said if the job
is flosted and a policeman
within the department is
transferred to the position,
some personnel problems like
-3' would be created within the
epartment and the Council
should ‘‘be ready to bite the
bullet on it.”
Chief Thomas said four or
five officers had indicated an
interest in the post.
Councilman Ira Pollard said
he wanted to study the issue
further and give an answer in
November. Other Council
members seemed to agree with
Pollard.
The Council authorized
Thomas to buy $1,737.20
worth of winter uniforms for
the department from East
Ridge Uniform Co., Tenn.
Thomas said he had sought
bids from another compan
but the firm did not respon(i
Manager McCalmon said if
the city has adequate rain by
November, the city may be
able to lift its current man
datory water ban. The hours
may also be changed later as
Daylight Savings Time ends,
he said.
CHRISTMAS
The Council authorized the
annual city employees’
Christmas dinner an(fJ the pur
chase of Christmas hams for
employees.
A parade permit for the an
nual yule festival was approv
| ed for Dec. 4 by the Council.
The Council delayed taking
| action on a re?uest by Melvin
| Ray Howard for a quit claim
| deed to certain property on
| Walnut Street until the issue
} could be checked more
w thorouihly, probably by the
1‘ November meeting.
1 The Council then went into
| aclosed session to discuss land
| acquisition for brid%:e construc
| tion and to handle a
disciplinary appeal by a city
J employee.
