Mayor Bullard suggested the train depot could be used during Hahira’s Third Thursday events, as well as other events that Hahira had throughout the year. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated she was concerned if a replica of the old train depot could be built and be less expensive than buying the train depot in Argyle that needed restoring and moved to Hahira. Mayor Bullard responded it would probably be cheaper to build a replica than to restore the one in Argyle and have it moved. Councilman Clendenin stated he was concerned if they wanted to sell the train depot or just give it away. Mayor Bullard responded they wanted to sell the train depot. Mayor Bullard stated he wanted to get some input from Council on the idea of bringing the train depot back in the City of Hahira.

Consideration of Reinstatement of Cell Phones (City Manager)

City Manager Sumner stated to Mayor and Council he had included a breakdown of the new pending contract proposal from Alltel, which would allow the City to keep almost all cell phones with about half the cost per month. Sumner stated this was for Council’s consideration, if they would like to keep the cell phones at half the cost per month with the new proposal from Alltel or if Council would like to go ahead and discontinue the cell phone contract completely. Councilman Clendenin stated he was concerned with how much the City would save per month if the phones were discontinued. City Manager Sumner responded the City would save around $32 dollars per month per phone. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated she was concerned with the $32 dollar rate per phone, she stated she thought the rate was $45 dollars per phone. City Manager Sumner responded the new rate would be $32 dollars per phone and that the new billing cycle had not rolled over for the new pending contract with Alltel. Mayor and Council decided that it was best to discontinue the cell phone contract with phones previously stated to be turned off.

Commercial Sanitation Rates (City Manager)

City Manager Sumner stated to Mayor and Council he had a cost comparison memo that explained the rates for commercial sanitation pickup in Hahira. Sumner stated the residential rates would not change but the commercial rates would be an increase from what the City of Hahira was charging businesses. Sumner stated the City would continue to bill the customers for sanitation pickup and in return, the private company would invoice the City for the number of customer’s that were billed. Sumner stated that Council could consider to choose to raise the rates on the commercial pickup to offset the deficit that would be created or raise the rates to bring in line with the new switch over of services. Sumner stated all customers would be notified of these changes in rates. Mayor Pro Tem Adams stated commercial customers had a choice of sanitation pickup from other service providers, if they so choose. Adams stated commercial customers did not have to use Griffin services if they chose to use a different provider, it was the commercial customer’s choice. City Manager Sumner responded that the City did give exclusivity to Griffin Solid Waste per their December action to award the contract. He stated that the City would strongly encourage these commercial customers to use Griffin Solid Waste. City Manager Sumner stated there could be more discussion on this item on Thursday night at the Council meeting.

There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
