The regular meeting of the Stockbridge City Council met on September 9, 1974 at 7:30 p.m. with Mayor Hart

In the absence of the City Clerk, the Mayor read the minutes of the previous meeting. The minutes were
approved as read.

Visitors were welcomed.

Mr. Acreman, with the Electrolux Company, had a vacuum cleaner to be viewed by the Council. After much
discussion, Dan McGarity made the motion that the City purchase said cleaner at a price $354.02. Motion
seconded by John Dabney and majority passed.

Discussion followed on changing the day of election and voter qualifications. Jerry Greer suggested that Ray
Tucker be asked to attend the next regular Council meeting to discuss any legislature that might be needed
for the City. The Mayor asked Mr. Greer to extend the invitation to Mr. Tucker for the October meeting.

Mayor Hart asked that Mr. Greer contact Pulliam & Company. Mr. John Johnson, CPA, for an estimate on
the cost for an audit. This company will work directly with the City Clerk.

The Sewerage Use Agreement & Ordinance was discussed. This was to be compiled by Buddy Welch and
1000 copies of the Agreement to be printed. This is to be sent first class mail to all residents of the City. All
Council members were asked to sign.

The opening of the City dump was discussed. This matter was tabled for further information.

The Council discussed salary increases. It was approved by the Council to give the Sanitation employees a
20¢ across the board increase. The police were to be raised at base pay $550 to $650 pay as top for one-
year service or experience. This effective immediately. A pay increase for the City Clerk was tabled.
Ken Leonard and Fred McAuley were present for the meeting and gave a report on the progress of the
easement deeds. The First Baptist Church gave to the City a list of agreements (see attached) to be met
upon before signing of easement deed. The Council agreed to this list and if, at any given time, the Church
decides to expand , the sewerage line will be changed a the expense of the City. The Church is to be
furnished a copy of these minutes.

The area of Creek Circle was discussed. As had previously been advised that sewerage lines were installed
at the time of development, this was in error. Ken Leonard recommended looking into the matter and to see
where the responsibility lies.
