Hundreds of Powder Springs residents later this year would see their city council districts changed should state and federal officials sign off on a ward redistricting plan approved last week by city officials.
Powder Springs residents will head to the polls this November to select three city councilmen, but for some residents, the potential choices on those ballots are likely to change. The Powder Springs City Council at its Feb. 18 meeting gave its approval to a redistricting plan for the city’s three council wards. During the Feb. 12 State of the City event, City Manager Brad Hulsey explained that the redistricting is required to occur after each Census. The latest Census occurred in 2010. While this will be the second municipal election since that Census, it is the first to be impacted by it, as the 2011 elections featured the mayoral and two at-large council posts—all citywide races. “As the Census Bureau finished the census, we realized …
The Powder Springs City Council tonight could set in motion changes to the city’s council district boundaries.
Powder Springs city councilmen tonight could give their approval to changes to the city’s council district boundaries. The changes are needed to bring the populations within the city’s three wards closer to one another. The population numbers are based on the 2010 Census. While this year’s municipal elections will not be the first since that Census, they are the first elections since the Census to involve the three wards. Though councilmen could give their approval to the changes tonight, the new maps would still have to receive approval at the state and federal levels. The city’s local legislative delegation would have to introduce the maps as local legislation in front of the Georgia General Assembly. Upon receiving state officials’ …
During his third day at work, an 18-year-old employee of a Powder Springs gas station sold to a fellow teenager during undercover compliance checks of all locations with alcohol licenses.
Powder Springs police and the Georgia Department of Revenue went to the 18 businesses licensed to sell alcohol in the city limits on Aug. 9 to make sure they weren’t selling to minors, and all of them passed—except one. An undercover 18-year-old entered the S & A Food Mart at 3930 Austell-Powder Springs Road and purchased a 24-ounce can of Bud Light, Powder Springs police Lt. Lane Cadwell told the City Council at Monday’s meeting. The seller, Asiel Gonzalez, also 18, of Austell, was on his third day and still under the supervision of a manager. He was arrested for selling to a minor, a misdemeanor, and made his $711 bond the next day, jail records show. (His mugshot is attached.) Gonzalez, who was fired, had been checking customers’ IDs. …

The design review and variance requests come in the wake of a fire that destroyed 30 percent of the building in May.
The owner of Mac’s Tire Service hopes to begin work this week to repair his shop, which was damaged by fire in May. The Powder Springs City Council is expected tonight to vote on a design review and items related to variances requests to waive setback and overlay district requirements as a hardship. Without the variance, Kirk McCannon would have to tear down the building that has been at the site on Austell-Powder Springs Road for 41 years and start from scratch. “That would seem to be an unnecessary hardship,” said Pam Conner, the city’s community development director. “We truly believe he meets the hardship standards. It’s not just that he’s been here 41 years.” The city’s overlay district requires landscaping, but there is nowhere to …

The theater is planned for the Ford Cultural Arts and Community Center complex.
Officials in Powder Springs are in the beginning stages of building a theater at the Coach George E. Ford Cultural Arts and Community Center campus. The city council on Wednesday met with Architect Jim Croft, whose Kennesaw-based firm Croft and Associates is recommended for approval for the project, to discuss his plans for the project’s design. Croft said he plans to use a design charette approach, which involves creating a rough sketch of the building while talking with stakeholders about the project. “We would have paper here,” Croft said. “We would actually draw and sketch and say, ‘Is this what you’re thinking?’ We would be designing as we talk. It’s a very interactive process.” The process enables people to visualize the concept and …

Property taxes were previously predicted to fall 7 percent—a number that increased to 9.5 as the City Council gave 4-0 approval of the $13.55 million budget on Monday.
Powder Springs is anticipating a bigger drop in property tax revenue than previously predicted. With Councilman Chriz Wizner absent, the City Council on Monday gave the thumbs up, 4-0, on the second and final reading of fiscal 2013’s $13.55 million budget, which includes the water/sewer fund, the sanitation fund, the newly created stormwater fund, and the general fund. The city’s biggest revenue source—property taxes—was expected to drop 7 percent based on declining property values for a loss of $171,700. When that was coupled with a $172,000 loss in fines and forfeitures for a total drop of $283,700, the general fund was set at $6.8 million. But a new predicted property tax loss of 9.5 percent, presented Monday by interim City Manager …
