The agenda and minutes from the July 8, 2025 regular meeting were approved, while minutes from the July 30 work session were tabled due to lack of quorum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Appointments Approved<\/strong><br>Council unanimously appointed Vicki Waller to the Manchester Housing Authority Board, citing her prior leadership and expertise. Keenan \u201cRush\u201d Bridges was appointed to a four-year term on the Planning and Zoning Board, bringing significant experience in zoning and permitting from various Georgia municipalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fire Department Truck Issue<\/strong><br>Chief Ben reported that the city\u2019s 2006 fire engine has suffered multiple breakdowns in recent weeks, including one during a school dismissal. Repairs could cost $10,000\u2013$15,000, with some parts possibly unavailable. The Council authorized entering into an intergovernmental agreement with Meriwether County to borrow a backup fire truck, pending legal review, while the city explores options for repair or replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proposed Donation of Six Lots to the Land Bank<\/strong><br>A proposal to donate six contiguous city-owned lots on Byron Street to the local Land Bank Authority sparked extended discussion. Land Bank Vice Chair Dell Fields explained the process, which aims to repurpose blighted properties for affordable housing or other beneficial uses, with stipulations on development style and price range. Several councilmembers suggested exploring grant opportunities, such as CDBG funding or partnerships with nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity, before donating. Concerns were raised over maintaining city control and ensuring the lots serve local housing needs. The Council voted to table the matter until a detailed Land Bank presentation could be held during the August 27 work session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emergency Infrastructure Repair<\/strong><br>City Manager Mark reported a collapsed storm drain under Foster Street posing a serious safety hazard. Council approved $76,000 in emergency T-SPLOST and LMIG funds for immediate repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Department Updates &amp; Achievements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>City Manager\u2019s Report<\/strong>: Over the past year, $700,000 was invested in infrastructure, including road resurfacing, storm drain repairs, and water tank renovations.
