Continued from 7C
Industrial Park. City Manager Janice Hall
said the professional contract with the
Regional Commission is part of the 50-50
matching federal grant the city has from the
EDA to do the electrical upgrade.
Council approved a contract with Mon-
roe County to handle Animal Control for
the city through Dec. 31, 2018 for $7,500
plus $22 per abandoned dog apprehended
within the city limits. Hall said although the
contract says $7,500, they had agreed on
$5,000 and paid that but had not received
the contract for council to sign. The amount
per dog increased from $15 in the previous
city-county contract to $7,500. There was
no discussion of the contract, but council
member Michael Dodd voted against it.
With council member Stroud absent, it
passed, 4-1.
Council approved the use of $28,580
to buy a 2018 F 150 pickup truck for the
Forsyth Fire Department from Allan Vigil
Ford in Morrow. The funds came from the
$42,000 sale of an old fire truck. Council
approval was neededto move the funds
within the city's budget.
Hall said she met with railroad officials
about crossings in the city last week. She
met with the company dearing street right-
of-ways and put them in touch with the
Forsyth Tree Board to discuss what trees
will be cut on Lee Street.
Hall said the city is still trying to figure
out how to keep water from coming into
the Welcome Center from Lee Street during
heavy rain. There are sand bags in front of
, the Welcome Center entrance. They found
that moving the sand bags out farther was
more effective. The storm drain is not large
enough to handle all of the water coming
down from the railroad when rains are
heav3a Hall said that DOT has doubled the
size of intake, but the pipe is not big enough.
"We did what we could to clear it out
about 10 years ago" said Hall. "Within five
minutes of the rain stopping it clears out
like it should."
Council member Chris Hewett, who is the
city's representative on the Forsyth Housing
Authority, said the Housing Authority has
asked for an additional code enforcement
officer to help at the city's housing projects,
including Forsyth Gardens, Piedmont,
Village Oaks, Betsy Lynn, Holiday Cove,
Brentwood, Union Hill, Ridgewood and
Elder Manor. The management of each
complex is asked to come to the Housing
Authority meeting on Oct. 4 at 8 a.m.

money saved for a rainy day - he decided
to send that in. As he counted the money
out, he was astonished to count out
exactly $1,000 in cash.
After discussing with Charlotte, he
sent the money in along with his story.
Not long ago they were contacted by the
producers of the show. After a phone
interview, they were panel-approved and
sent their itinerary and dates to film.
They laughed and told me they were
asked to have seven changes of clothing.
Charlotte said she never shopped so fast
and so long to get those outfits together!
Soon after a crew of two came to their
home on Lake Williamson and filming
began. It took a little over seven hours.
Everett and Charlotte were interviewed
separately and together, and Everett even
did a mock inspection of a home.
They said they are certainly not actors.
It was a little tough, but they finally got
into the swing of things. Charlotte said
she had to check on Everett in the bed
sick and "look concerned' They filmed
in the boat fishing and even had a drone
flying overhead. It will be interesting to
see how many minutes this seven hours
will become on the screen.
Everett said that above all he believes
in tithing and has been blessed beyond
measure by his faithful giving. He said he
is willing to speak to groups or even indi-
viduals on this topic. You can read more
about Everett and Charlotte, his journey
from cancer to remission and his Faith in
God by looking at his personal site: www.

Where is your treasure? In your home,
in your wardrobe, in your car? Or in your
Faith in God? For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also. Matthew
