city.
At one point, the mayor
told the crowd, "If you don't
want to come in, I don't want
you to come in,"
The mayor also said new
residents would benefit from
added street maintenance ser
vices, sanitation and brush
pickuls. lower utility® rates.
animal control, storm drainage
programs, right-of-way
maintenance, mosquito control
in the summer, street lights
and zoning.
TAXES
He also acknowledged that
citf' residents g)ay over two
mills (a mill is $1 tax on each
SI,OOO of taxable af)ropert.y)
more in county ad valorem tax
than do residents outside the
city limits due to a complex in
surance premium rebate g\ro—
gram in effect statewide. The
current city tax is three mills,
based on 100 percent assess
ment. Cash said he hoped to
eventually abolish city taxes.
After questioning by one
person attending the hearing,
the mayor acknowledged that
current city and county taxes
might negate lowered fire in
surance rates but he added,
“the difference is, you'd have
services."’
The city would have three
years to try to provide the new
areas with all city services, the
mayor indicated.
Each time a citizen made a
point of not wanting to be an- |
nexed into the city, a loud |
round of applause erupted. |
SHOW OF HANDS ;
At the end of the hearing, |
Cash asked how many of those |
present were receiving city ser- |
vices. Around 90 percent rais- |
ed their hands. The mayor then |
asked those present how many |
would support a surcharge on |
those services to support city |
programs and, again, most of |
those present raised their |
hands. \
The number of city |
employees would have to be in- |
creased, the mayor said, but |
not doubled. Charles Elder, a |
citizen, said if the city took in |
an additional mile, it would in- |
crease the citg's area eight |
times, not double it. ,
Mayor Cash also said that |
one reason the county is not |
growing is that utility services |
aren’t available in most of the |
non-incorporated areas of the |
county. |
The city’'s sewage treat- |
ment plant is almost at its two- |
million %?llon capacity, the |
mayor indicated.in response to, |
a question, but the city is pro
ceeding full speed to expand it |
to a capacity of three million |
gallons.
One resident said metro |
Fovemment — one government
or all the county and all cities
— may be the answer in the |
future.
COMMISSIONER f
“My advice is to vote a
commissioner in who will work
with the city,” said one resi
dent after Mayor Cash said the
city had been told by Chat
tooga Commissioner Harry
Powell that no more funds
would be forthcoming for fire
protection and other programs
after this year, because of an
end to federal revenue sharing.
One resident suggested
that Rep. Crawford and Sen.
Huggins should introduce
legislation setting up a county
fire department.
Another in attendance said
residents need to contact Com
missioner Powell and urge him
to help the city, adding that
while she enjoyed city services,
she didn't want to be inside the
city limits. }
Mayor Cash said the |
Georgia Department of |
Transportation (DOT) would |
listen more closely to a town of |
10,000 than one of |
4,500-population, such as |
regarding a four-lane connector 1

CITIZEN QUESTIONS ANNEXATION PLAN
Most In Attendance Against Issue
throufih Northwest Georgia
from I-59 in Alabama to I-75.
FAVORABLE
Sue Spivey, executive vice
president of the Chattooga
Chamber of Commerce, spofie
in favor of annexation, saying
she was a county resident. She
also said the area would then
be more attractive to commer
cial and industrial growth and
boost chances for an interstate
connector.
Although city residents pay
the one percent local option
sales tax &r roads and bridges,
Mayor Cash pointed out, cities
in the county have not receiv
ed any money from Commis
sioner Poweliy for use by the
cities. :
Mrs. Spivey said that when
current industrial tractor
trailer fleets are replaced, they
likely will be by tandem-trailer
trucks, which she said are not
allowed more than one mile off
a four-lane highway. This could
endane(gier local industry, she in
dicated, as well as prospective
industries, unless a four-lane is
?btained from Chattooga to
-75.
After Mayor Cash had in
dicated that the city likely
wouldn’t proceed with annexa
tion plans or even another hear
ing, virtually the entire crowd
left the gymnasium. The Coun
cil then proceeded with its
monthly meeting in an almost
deserted building (see related
story).
