Trion Resolves
Expansion Issue
from second front
grants,
5 h(:Fe not,” Mayor Woods
said, adding that a community
must have a certain number of
moderate and low income
households to qualify for such
grants. .
Williams moved that the
Council adopt the committee’s
recommendations. The pro
;smsal was seconded by Mifier.
tansell voted against the
measure while Councilmen Ro,
Bowers and Arden abstaine({
Arden said the city hadn't
firmly decided if the city was
going to run utilities to the pro
perty lines of tracts seeking
services. He pointed out that
some tracts are far away from
existing city services while |
others are much closer. Voting
in favor of the motion were
Williams, Miller, Recorder
Ricky Bowers and Mayor |
Woods. |
LONG DEBATE
The vote apparently con
cluded a near year-long debate
over the utility issue. At some ;
Council meetings late last sum
mer and last fall, the sessions l
became heated and developers |
expressed irritation that the ci- |
t{ hadn't arrived at any |
blanket policy regarding utili- |
ty expansion. |
The issue arose after Riegel |
Textile Corp. sold many of its |
city holdings in late 1985 or |
early 1986 to private |
developers, who then asked for .
city utilities. ;
Mayor Woods has con- |
sistently opposed city par- |
ticipation in the cost of the ci- |
ty expanding services for the
tracts. Councilman Stansell |
has been outspoken in his view 1
that such a policy will stifle |
growth and development in the |
city in the coming years. Trion |
already has the image of a com- ?
munit[\; which doesn’t desire l
growth, he said. ‘
$250,000 |
After several developers ap- |
peared at Council meetings and
expressed anger and frustra
tion at a lack of action on set
ting a water poli%y, the citf"s
engineer a?peare at a called
meetir::F of the panel and in- |
dicated that it would cost
around $250,000 to provide l
water and sewer service to
eight large tracts in the city.
Then last September,
Woods appointed %Villiams,
Miller ancr I;l.imself to a panel
that would study the issue and
make a recommendation to the
Council. In October, it partial
ly resolved the most pressing
water issue by agreeing to
allow two developers to con
nect to city water lines at the
developers’ cost. One connec
tion of a two-inch water line on
Club Drive was limited by the
city. Other developers were
allowed to tie onto existing ci
ty services and run a six-inch
water main along Back Penn
Road (Pine Street).

FIRE CALLS
The issue of whether
Trion's Fire Department would
continue to resrond to calls
outside the city limits arose at
the meeting, apparently
because of recent action by the
City of Summerville setting up
a subscription service for
residents outside the city who
are not on Summerville's utili
ty lines.
Councilman Arden asked
about the fire calls, city
finances and whether Chat
tooga Count¥l Commissioner
Harry Powell had provided any
funds to the city for fire protec
tion costs outside the city.
Mayor Woods said ’lyrion
has generally been responding
to fire calls within about a
three-mile radius of the city
limits ‘‘but we've never taken
a tape measure out and
measured it.”” The department |
also backs up other area fire I
departments when requested, |
he said.
Around 70 percent of the
fire alarms answered by
Trion’s fire department come
from outside the city limits, the
mayor estimated, saying he
doesn’t know about the calls
answered for Riegel. The city
had budtgeted $12,000 in |
revenues from the county but |
had received only $3,000, 1
Mayor Woods said. \
RECREATION '
Arden also asked about the ‘
recreation department’s
finances. Summerville’s recrea
tion board has indicated that it |
will go to a fee system April 1 |
if Powell doesn’t provide a I
substantial part of Summer
ville’s budget by that date.
Mayor Woods said more
than 60 percent of the par
ticipants in Trion’s recreation
programs are non-city i
residents. |
“I may be overly optimistic |
but I believe we'll get it (money 1
from the county) some day,” |
Woods said. 1
The Council took no action {
regarding the recreation |
department or fire department |
services to citizens outside the |
city limits. [
In other matters, Mayor |
Woods said Lloyd Frasier of |
the Coosa Valley Area Plann
ing and Development Commis
sion had been unable to design
a recreation area to include
four baseball fields in the space
available in the track area bet
ween Central Avenue and the |
railroad tracks. ‘
Frasier hasn’t been able to |
set up an appointment with a |
recreation consultant to
discuss the problem, Mayor
Woods said, adding that he
had told the planner to seek out
another consultant. The ditch
on the property seems to be a
big profllem insofar as having i
enough space is concerned, the
mayor indicated. |
COVER DITCH
Councilman Arden said the
city may have to confront the
Used Washers
and Dryers
$7500
obigirtos
— $2 9 9...5
problem soon, install a culvert
and cover the ditch to provide
adequate space for the city's
recreation needs.
Councilman Stansell, who
heads up a committee studying
how to finance a %roposegl?n
dustrial park for the city, said
he hopes to have one or more
groposals to lgresent to the
ouncil by its Feb. 26 meeting.
The city received plans for
the proposed Park Avenue
storm sewer project on Jan. 16
but he indicated that there
hadn’t been time to review the
proposals. Estimated cost of
the project is around $89,000,
he indicated.
Inclement weather has
delayed installation of a new
sanitary sewer line for the Park
Avenue area, the mayor said.
The city hopes to avoid ‘‘tear
ing up” the yards of affected
residences as much as possible,
he said.
LIGHTS
The Council voted to
replace two street lights and in
stall two new lights for a total
of six on Back Penn Road (Pine
Street) at a monthly cost of
$36.40 to be paid to Georgia
Power Co.
All minor gas leaks which
had been reported at
December’s Council meeting as
having been discovered, have
now been repaired, the mayor
told the Council.
The city has issued five
building permits valued at
$77,047.20, Recorder Bowers
said, including one for a
residence value§ at $73,000.
The city had only 26 delin
quent taxpag'ers who owed the
city $1,281.31 as of last Thurs
day, Bowers and the mayor
reported to the Council.
Notices have been sent to the
26 delinquent taxpayers, he
added.
The Council also received
the resignation of Polly Hayes
as Council secretary, effective
Dec. 31.
FINANCES
The general fund was
$1,038 in the black during the
month, the mayor said, while
the waterworks department
was in the black $943. The
police department was in the
red $1,047, mainly due to the
Eurchase of winter uniforms,
e said. The sanitation depart
ment was $4lO in the recs and
the public works department
was $1,430 in the retf, he add
ed. The fire department was
$648 in the black, the cemetery
fund was $575 in the black and
Civil Defense was $37.50 in the
black, Woods said. The mayor
also discussed inter-fund
transfers during the Council
meeting.
He read a letter of thanks
from Central State Hospital,
Milledgeville, for the city’s par
ticipation in the Mayor's
Motorcade last December. The
program provides gifts to pa
tients at the mental hospital.
