County ties up loose ends as year nears conclusion BY BRENDA THOMPSON Staff Writer With an unusually short and un eventful agenda at hand, Houston County Commissioners held their final regular meeting of the '93-’94 fiscal year Tue*sday evening at the Houston County Annex. Business was essentially limited to some routine “end-of-lhe-year housekeeping” and the tying up of loose ends as the county readies to begin its new fiscal year which be gins on July 1. Among the actions commission ers took Tuesday were: •Approval of name changes for two county roads which currently have the same name. According to the commissioners, there are presently two Kersey roads in the county, one on the north end and one on the south end. To remedy the situation and to eliminate confusion for emergency agencies dispatched to either road, all future maps will have the roads designated as North Kersey Road and South Kersey Road, respec tively. •Appointed Houston County Emergency Management Agency (HEMA) Deputy Director James Williams to the position of tempo rary director. Williams, who was also recently selected to become the county’s first fire chief, will fill the top HEMA position vacated this week by retiring director Bob Smith until “such time as we nominate for ap pointment a candidate for the posi tion,” commissioners said. Williams’ duties as the county fire chief will begin July 1. THE TOO SHOP Pairs of Clearance ONLY * Perry Store Only * Sale Starts Thursday, June 30th 100 Hampton Ct.
