Grantville planning to hire public works supervisor
From STAFF REPORTS
news@newnan.com
The city of Grantville has a few vacant committee positions, but that didn't stop the groups from completing city business during Monday meetings.
Developing a job description for the hiring of a supervisor was on the agenda for the Streets and Public Works committee, along with discussing the installation of roll cages for the city's heavy equipment.
Eddie Lutrell was re-elected as Historic Preservation Commission chair and Sandy Luttrell as vice-chair during the HPC committee's meeting. Currently, the position of secretary remains vacant. The group discussed a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new awning at the former Nick's Pizza location at the corner of Colley and LaGrange streets.
A joint meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Grantville City Council began with news of Jim Poor's resignation from the commission.
Using existing and proposed maps, Brennan Jones discussed with members of both groups the definition of the U.S. Highway 29 overlay district and how it potentially will affect new development, while stressing existing development will not be affected.
No new changes were proposed except an R-6 zoning classification for the government housing projects on Glanton and Meriwether streets, according to Grantville Council member Rochelle Jabaley. All changes will be brought before the council for approval.
City attorney Mark Mitchell advised the commission to postpone action until April, when new state legislation may be in place regarding signage. If passed, the legislation would require signs to be posted on all property where rezoning is an issue. Currently, signs are required only when a property owner requests a zoning change, not when the city initiates rezoning.

Could the Newnan Times Herald ask what the proposed salary range for this job is? How many employees will this person supervise?
The times reported on Grantville's new City Manager, but didn't let the citizens or the taxpayers in on what they are paying for this position.
We want to do the math--how few are supporting how many? Where's the last city audit and the annual budget?

Dear Gov't Burden...simply go in to City Hall and make a public records request for the current budget, audit report, and salary information. Your choice...read it there or pay for copies to take with you. Easy, huh?
