City OK's Agreement,,
But 'Nobody is Happ3,'
By Bryan Geter
Associate Editor
The Hogansville City
Council in a called meeting
Thursday voted unanimously to
approve the Service Delivery
Strategy agreement under
House Bill 489.
The decision had to be
approved by either Hogansville
or West Point before it could
become effective. Troup is the
last county in the state to
approve the agreement.
West Point was expected to
vote on the compromise yester-
day. After West Point's
approval, the agreement will be
delivered to the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA).
Hogansville City Manager
David Aldrich said Thursday
this is a culmination of two years
of work. "The county and cities
have worked hand and hand,"
Aldrich said. "Nobody is happy
and everybody is in the middle.
It is about as good a proposal as
we are going to get."
He said it was a fair deal but
no one is thrilled about it. "'We
are glad it is behind us," Aldrich
said.
Under the bill, Hogansville
will begin paying half of the
expenses of the county fire sta-
tion, which will be about
$140,000 annually.
The county will pay for the
recreational facilities, libraries
and inmate details.
