The Hogansville City
Council has agreed to set
aside $15,000 in it's next budg-
et to help support a new Boys
and Girls Club in the city.
Councilmen Charlie E
Martin, Jimmy Jackson and
Bobby Lee Frazier voted to
allocate that money in the
next budget year, which
begins in July.
Initially, Martin suggest-
ed setting aside $10,000 to
support the club, which is
expected to be operational
sometime before July.
But Jackson amended
Martin's proposal, calling for
the $15,000 set-aside and
Martin and Frazier voted
with him to make the city's
obligation $15,000.
Councilman Jack
Leidner, while making it clear
that the strongly supports a
Boys and Girls Club for
Hogansville, said voting for
the $15,000 allocation would
have been fiscally irrespon-
sible, given that the city is
already operating on a tight
budget.
He abstained rather than
vote for the higher figure and
Councilwoman Jean •Crocker
was absent from the Monday
night meeting.
The $5,000 difference
ing in the Georgia Municipal
Association's magazine and on a couple
of Internet sites.
Interested persons will be asked to
submit resumes by Jan. 19, St. Clair said.
The advertisements won't list a
salary range. That is something that will
be worked out prior to or during dis-
cussions with the candidates, St. Clair
said.
Aldrich, who resigned after several
months of wrangling by the City Council
between the two proposals
could have gone a long way
toward a variety of infra-
structure, needs, Leidner
said.
A Boys and Girls Club will
be a good thing for the youth
of the city, Leidner said. "Most
important is how it affects
people's lives."
The council voted for the
establishment of the club in
Hogansville after hearing a
pitch from Wiley West, who
is executive director bf the
Boys and Girls Clubs of West
Georgia, which includes
LaGrange and West Point.
West said that Boys and
Girls Club programs provide
a wide range of opportunities
for youngsters, including
after-school tutoring and
summer programs that dan
begin at 7 a.m. or earlier in
order to accommodate chil-
dren of working parents.
It was unclear exactly
when the program will begin
in Hogansville, but Leidner
said he expects it will be
before July.
West said some of the
future funding of the club
'could come frorrfbusinesses
and grants and possibly from
United Way.
Martin has been pushing
for months to get a Boys and
Girls Club organized and run-
ning in Hogansville.

Besides "saving" the sub-
division for real homes,
Arnold has also been instru-
mental in initiating the plan
for restoration of dilapidat-
ed buildings downtown,
restoration of many of the
house on Main Street and
many of the mill village hous-
es, the mayor said, "and for
bringing most all of the exist-
ing commercial enterprises
• to our interstate node."
"John deserves a 'thanks'"
for his stand against the
mobile home park and for his
role in otherwise making
Hogansville a better place to
live, the mayor said.
The subdivision will be
built-out in phases, not all at
once, Iidner noted.

improvements in managing the
general fund budget, and turni

took over into a fund that was
$400,000 to the good when he resi
about two months ago.
Then the Butcher owners
decided to built a 500-unit
mobile home park, which the
mayor said would have been
"much more profitable," but
als0 more controversial since
it would have "created a huge
transient neighborhood in the
very heart of Hogansville."
Eventually, with
Butcher's downfall due to
allegations of financial
improprieties, Arnold ended
up again in control of the
property and its future.
The subdivision as now
proposed will be home to
dozens if not hundreds of
"empty-nesters" and will be a
great asset to Hogansville,
