CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA OCTOBER 26, 1978

The special meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held October 16, 1978 at 4:00 p.m. with Mayor
Kelley presiding and members Harold Cochran, Ross McMichael and Ed Whiddon present.

Mayor Kelley recommended the City Council donate an additional $3,000 to the Stockbridge Library building
fund. Motion was made by Harold Cochran, seconded by Ross McMichael, motion carried.

Mayor Kelley advised Council that Larry Tew, representing the Stockbridge Businessmen's Association had
contacted him regarding the railway depot across from City Hall. Southern Railway Systems, Inc. will not
lease this building to the Association but would consider leasing to the City for $1.00. The City could then
allow the Association the use of the building. The only way the Council would consider this proposal is in the
event the Association is dissolved, this property would automatically convert back to the Railway and the City
would be free of any responsibility for this building.

Motion was made by Ross McMichael to have the transmission on the fire department service truck repaired
at Lake City Transmission at a cost of $75.00, seconded by Ed Whiddon, motion carried.

Motion was made by Harold Cochran to pay the bill from Stockbridge Auto Parts and Supplies in the amount
of $38.00, signed by Dale Nicholson of the Volunteer Fire Department, seconded by Ed Whiddon, motion
carried.

Meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Merle Manders R. G. Kelley
City Clerk Mayor
