from front page
water superintendent, acknowl
edfito Councilman King that
a fire truck pumping water
from a four-inch line could
cause the line to collapse, and
that a four-inch line won't pro
vide the fire-fighting pressure
of a six-inch line. =
Parris said he thought the
original agreement was for
Norton to pay the cost of
materials, plus a cut-in fee, and
the city install the line or have
it installed. :
The panel at its last mon
thla{l meeting had agreed to in
stall a six-inch line but befian
having second thoughts when
it found that the materials
grice of a six-inch main was
1.65 ?er foot as opposed to a
cost of 80 cents per foot for a
four-inch line. .
The council then agreed to
accept a low bid from Tinney
Contracting Co., Chatsworth,
to install tfie line at a cost of
some $10,036 plus rock excava
tion. Materials are expected to
cost $4,612. .
Coosa Valley Contractors,
Rome, submitted a bid on a six
inch line but not a four-inch
main. Stancil's Underground
Trenching and Green's Con
struction Co. both submitted
bids hiflher than the Tinney
progos .
he vote to have Tinney do
the work came on a 3-2 vote
with the same split as on the
proposal to change from a six
to a four-inch main.
WILDLIFE LAKE
In a related matter, the
council agreed to have city
crews install 4,700 feet of a six
inch water line extension along
Wildlife Road. The vote was
4-1 with Councilman Stanle
voting against the progosa{
Councilmen King, ush,
Pollard and Parris favored the
measure.
The council also agreed to
obtain bids on materials for the
Wildlife Lake Road and the
Norton projects. The vote on
that proposal was 4-1 with
Councilman King casting the
dissenting vote. -
Estimated cost of the pro
ject is $16,160, not inclmring
the installation of fire plugs.
The State of Georgia is also
expected to pay for two cut-ins
at James H. “‘Sloppy’’ Floyd
State Park when tfie line is in
stalled. Residents of the area
will provide some $14,300 of
the money for the project.
CHANGE
In another matter, the
council agreed to change its
meeting from the second Mon
day of each month to the first
Monday of each month. It was
set to avoid a potential conflict
with the Chattooga County
Board of Education, which
meets at 8 p.m. each second
Monday. The council meeting
time of 6 p.m. will remain the
same. The request for the
meeting change came from ac
tivist Lewis Sgtrange, Atlanta-
Trion area.
The panel also agreed to
hold a hearing for Frefiawson
at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 24, on
his firing from the police
department on April 9, 1990.
Approval of the hearing
came after the council rejected
unanimously a purported peti
tion from ‘““concerned citizens”
asking that Lawson be given a
hearing.

Councilman Mike King said
one of the sifinatures on the
petition was that of a neighbor
who said he had never signed
the Eetition. It was presented
to the panel in January.
Councilman Parris said he
still wanted to hear the issues
of the case.
DISMISSAL
Mayor Sewell Cash did not
appear to favor the hearing,
sayinlf that Lawson had failed
to follow the city’s procedures
for appealing his dismissal in
the spring, 1990.
Lawson, who as captain
was second in command of the
police department, said he had
asked for a hearing but wasn’t
given one at the time.
didn't apposl hs Aring within
idn’t appeal his firing withi
10 days as required by the ci
ty's poliey. oo acie o
Lawson said he had a letter
from Simmons dated April 10,
1990, but the envelope it came
in was postmarked April 20,
1990.
Mayor Cash said Lawson
had never filed an appeal for a
hearing.
Lawson said he did appeal.
Councilman Parris moved
that a hearing be held. Coun
cilman Kiniseconded the mo
tion, which passed unani
mously. e
L&fivsggd washfired afterhll;g
was charged with trying to hi
an alleged ‘‘hit manry'li;lg kill his
estranged wife, Donna Marie.
The so-called ‘‘hit man’’ turn
ed out to be an agent with the
Georgia Bureau of
Investigation.
NOT GUILTY
A Lury acquitted Lawson of
the charge in August, 1991,
and Lawson has been trying to
regain his job since that time.
Lawson is still certified as
a police officer by the Georgia
Peace Officers Standards and
Training (POST) Council. The
issue of whether he will remain
certified is expected to be
decided by the council
sometime this month.
Lawson's request early last
fall to be rehired by the city
was turned down by both Sim
mons and Cash.
Councilman Parris pushed
for Mayor Cash to name each
councilman to oversee a par
ticular city department. “It'll
work,” he insisted, saying it
had worked during the early
1980 s when he was on the
council previously.
Councilman lz,ing said the
only way he'd support the
measure is if councilmen acted
only as advisors and not as
bosses or supervisors and not
give orders to city emsloyees.
M?K;\)r Cash said when
councilmen oversaw degart
ments in the early 1980 s, the ci
ty didn’t have a fulltime city
manager. The only way it
would work well is if all coun
cilmen were unanimous on the
concept, the mayor said.
Councilman %ush said he
didn’t like the concept; with a
city manager and current
supervisors, such ‘“‘advisors’
are not needed.
City employees are already
ogen to suggestions from coun
cilmen, King said.
Parris moved that the
measure be adopted. No quick
second was forthcoming and
the issue was tabled for further
discussion.
SICK LEAVE
Policeman Duane Jackson
and Lt. Arlen Thomas asked
about city sick leave policies
but Mayor Cash suigested
that the iisllue be hashed over
at a special meeting.
Thgepfanel agree(g to discuss
the matter following an ag?eal
hearing for Officer Barry Pless
at 6 p.m. today at % hall.
Pless was reduced in rank from
sergeant to officer and
suspended for a week for
alle%edly striking a prisoner in
a holding cell at the Chattooga
County Jail last December.
The issue of employees’
break times and locations is
also expected to be discussed
bY the council following the
Pless hearing tonight.
NEW TRUCK
On a motion by Councilman
Parris, the counci{ aireed 4-Ito
purchase a new truck for the ci
ty at the ‘‘best price,” whether
from the two local new vehicle
dealers or on a state contract.
The motion was seconded by
Councilman Stanley. Coun
cilman Bush cast the dissen
ting vote.
%‘he council also
unanimously named activist
and city resident Doug
Hedgecock to the countywide
Solid Waste Management
Committee. It met for the first
time this past Thursday night
(see related story). He will
ref)lace Simmons, whom Coun
cilman King said did not have
sufficient time to serve on the
panel. King had first
nominated Councilman Parris,
who refused the offer.
Hedgecock will serve with Sid
Ponfier, the city’'s other
representative.
Ponder is chairman of the
“Get Involved” political action
committee, which is pushing
for a five-member board of
commissioners. Hedgecock is
its secretary, according to a
member of the group (see
separate story on the five
member boardy issue).
WATER LINE
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Johns
asked that the city consider
working with the county to in
stall water in the Spring Creek
Road and Chai)el HL‘% Road
areas (also including Butler
Dairy Road).
“We, of the Chapel Hill and
lSlEring Creek community, feel
ike the city and county should
split the cost of this water line
for us putting up with the
(Penn Bridge Roa£ landfill for
some 20-plus years,” according
to a letter signed by Johns and
read to the council by his wife,
Beverly. : |
The estimated cost was bet
ween $168,000 and $200,000,
they said.
The cost of the water ser
vice could be paid for by the ci
t{ and county issuing $lO vehi
cle decals to all vehicles that
use the landfill, they
suggested.
GRANT?
Mayor Cash said he
suspected that 100 percent of
the water for that area would
have to come from Low
Springs south of Summerville.
He suggested that the city and
county might be able to obtain
a Communit Development
Block Grant K}DBG) of up to
$400,000 for the project.
Stanley and Parris ag
parently liked the idea of ob
taining a grant.
Councilman King said the
city maf' have some obligation
to people in that area since the
town owns the land on which
the current landfill sits. He
noted that a new landfill will be
owned and operated by the
county, not the city. King
agreed that the city needs to
talk to Jim Parker, county
commissioner, about the plight
of residents in that area.
Johns said he felt the city
and county should take care of
the problem without seeking
outside funding.
Mayor Cash said some
government would receive the
grants and the city might as
well seek them for local
residents.
Mayor Cash asked Sim
mons to set up a meeting with
the commissioner on the issue
and to notify councilmen about
the time and location of the
session.
HUD FUNDS
On an unrelated matter, Ci
ty Manager Simmons said the
federal department of Housing
and Urgan Development
(HUD) will pay $4,300 toward
the cost of installing a larger
drain line at the public housing
projrect on Ramey Street. -
he council agreed
unanimously to install the
largest drain lines possible in
the area.
Councilman King said he
had first sought an anti
burning ordinance as a private
citizen but contended that it
was watered down. He moved
that it be strengthened to ban
all burning inside the city ex
cegt for construction crews
who need to burn wood in a
barrel to keep warm in the
winter. He moved that it be
amended to make it stronger.
Councilman Stanley said
the council couldn’t get it
enforced.
“‘Mr. Stanley, I think we're
in a position where we might
have some input on getting it
enforced,” King replied.
“I'll second It, then,”
Stanley said.
Councilmen King, Stanley
and Bush voted for the
measure. Councilmen Parris
and Pollard voted against the
motion.
Final action on the proposal
is expected to be taken at the
council’'s next monthly meeting
on March 2.
UTILITY BILLS
Councilman King asked
how a city resident W%IO owed
some S4OO on utility bills had
almost had his utilities turned
back on during a recent Satur
day. The resident had not paid
his bill or reconnect charge, he
indicated.
Mayor Cash said he was
told by the unnamed resident
that a smaller amount was ow
ed on the utilities than was ac
tually the case. A city ad
ministrative person happened
to be working that Saturday
and discovered that the resi
dent had been less than for
thcoming with him, the mayor
said.
King then asked if the city
had a policy of allowing a resi
dent who is delinquent in his
utility bills to have utilities in
another residence if he moved.
Mayor Cash said that has been
city policy in the past. The resi
dent was not named.
