The Griffin Board of Commissioners has a full agenda for Tuesday’s meeting.

The 9 a.m. workshop meeting will begin with a discussion about the city golf course.

“We’ve just got to look at the lease we have with King Management company,” City Manager Kenny Smith said.

He said the company’s revenues are not covering expenses, something which has happened before with the golf course. The commissioners intend to discuss what, if anything, needs to be done about the situation.

Afterward, there will be discussion about the Sixth Street bridge, the downtown redevelopment plan, the possible lease of 742 Pimento Ave. and the request of Griffin Technical College to be placed on the SPLOST.

For the 6 p.m. primary meeting, Tim Merritt, former Griffin Police Department officer Willie Neal and city Human Resources Manager Miles Neville will be recognized for their contributions.

On the regular agenda, the commissioners will vote on whether or not the city should purchase an automated side-loading garbage truck and whether to approve a supplemental power purchase contract.

“It’s just a contract that allows the city of Griffin to participate in the peaking power project, to ensure we have adequate resources,” said Hugo Hodge, electric director for the city.

Peaking power is electricity generated using a power source like natural gas, which can be quickly turned on and off, rather than slower sources such as nuclear. It can be used to provide electricity in periods of high demand.

The commissioners will also consider approval of a resolution criticizing House Resolution 900, the controversial tax plan championed by state Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson, R-Hiram, that would abolish property taxes.

“The deepest criticism of that proposed legislation is that it takes away the power to set the taxation record at the local level,” Commissioner Dick Morrow said.

According to Morrow, the proposal would strip the city commission, county commission and school board of their taxing authority, replacing local tax revenue with grants of sales-tax money from the state government. Morrow said the measure would essentially destroy local government.

“This is a very ill-conceived concept,” he said.
