CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE
HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA MAY 1, 1978

The special meeting of the Stockbridge City Council was held May 1, 1978 at 6:00 p.m. with Mayor R. G.
Kelley presiding and all Council members present.

R. G. Newton requested a hearing before the City Council regarding a certified letter from the Council advising
him that the drain culvert he installed along Davis Road on the City's right-of-way was being removed by the
City to allow proper drainage and eliminate the flow of surface water on a public road. Harold Cochran and
Ed Whiddon advised Mr. Newton they had seen the water flowing in the road on several occasions, but after
he had cleaned the silt from in front of the grate, it had flowed without restriction. Motion was made by Ed
Whiddon to leave the culvert for the time being if Mr. Newton would agree to keep grate clean, seconded by
Harold Cochran and passed unanimously.

Rip Gardner to check open drainpipe at Mr. Blackwell's and advise him to install a grate.

Meeting adjourned 6:45 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,

Merle Manders R. G. Kelley
City Clerk Mayor
