As far as business during the meeting, the city agreed to sign a contract with the Heart of Georgia Regional Commission to provide assistance in the application for a OneGeorgia Equity Grant to run water and sewage lines to the recently-annexed industrial park on U.S. Highway 1. This assistance will come at no charge to the municipality if the grant is not awarded, and will only take a small percentage of the funding if granted.

The Council also agreed to issue a quitclaim deed to Montford Rentals LLC for four tracts of land that were previously acquired for a street extension project which was never worked on.

Council members also agreed to reelect Councilman IToole as the Mayor Pro Tempore.
