Adult videos to be sold in Ila?

The city of Ila may be getting an adult video store within its city limits.

City clerk Susan Steed told Ila city council members last week that she had received a business license request to open an adult video store. City attorney Pat Graham said he had researched the matter and that the city currently has no ordinance that would prohibit the store obtaining a license.

Graham then read a proposed ordinance to “regulate the licensure of adult entertainment establishments” within Ila city limits. Council members were asked to read over the ordinance in order to take a vote on the matter at their August 1 business meeting, though this will have no effect on the current request.

In other business, the council approved an intergovernmental agreement between the city and county for county election superintendent Cody Cross to serve as Ila’s election superintendent for the upcoming Nov. 6 general election. Steed reported that new state regulations disqualify her from serving as election superintendent as she has in the past. Attorney Graham will now present the agreement to the board of commissioners for their approval.

The council voted to submit Lord/Locust, Rock, Crawford and Westbrook streets to the state’s 2012 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) program for repaving assistance.

The council also voted to accept an estimate from Oconee Well Drillers for installing a wireless control system in the city’s well #2 at a cost of $3,500. The council agreed that the cost cannot exceed $3,961, which is the amount of GEFA funds still available.

The council heard from councilman Nathaniel Hobbs that a stop sign on the end of North Westbrook Street had been hit and is bent over.
The council also heard from councilwoman Peggy Freeman that she had received a complaint about Pat’s Swap Shop putting merchandise and vehicles too close to the edge of the road on Saturday mornings, interfering with some residents being able to pull out of their driveways.

Steed said she would notify the Department of Transportation about both issues since both involve the state’s right-of-way.

The council will hold a budget workshop following their Aug. 1 business meeting.

Would anyone be upset if someome tried to open a gun store in Ila? Doubt it. This is one crazy mixed-up world that we live in.

Of course, this business person(who must be pretty stupid-probably hasn't heard of the internet)may have other intentions. Maybe nude dancing would be their next step? Ila definitely would be the best place to locate such an establishment. I'm sure the numbers work pretty well.
Sounds like this person might be one of our county commissioners. lol!

Ben Had- I think there was a Gun store in Ila not to long ago in those store fronts on Hwy.106 between 98 Styles and the old Special store(Pick of the crop). But it didn't stay to long?
I wonder how will this make Ila look? You can't buy beer within the city limits of Ila BUT you can go rent porn within the city limits? I didn't think there was that many Porn FREAKS in Ila? Here's a suggestion open a full video store. Since Vision Video closed in Danielsville there is nowhere close to rent movies no more?

OH Ben you silly anti-gun idiot.

Opening a gun store would be great since it is part of our culture and history and serves us as a great tool in life. unlike porn which has NO VALUE but to degrade and undermine and pervert our culture and country.

Did not Pocahontas turn cartwheels naked in front of Jamestown people. In puritan days they would sew non wedded couples in a sack cloth bed thing for over night stays and bet that resulted in weddings. Just different time for different types of sex issues. But think Ila small and easy to see who goes in there. Could just be interesting to sit 50 yds away on Saturday drinking coffee of course and see who goes in. WE have MUCH bigger things to worry about than this. Gun store good idea but got enough of those already.

Ron- AMEN

Oh Lord, the Baptists are going to have a fit on Sunday (but Saturday night around closing time the parking lot will be filled with Sunday's decons).

Anything that can legally earn money in this economy should be welcome here. Especially if it saves me a trip to Athens for adult toys :p

Yeah, there's something odd about such a store in Ila when the regular video store couldn't make it. Of course, maybe there are a lot of people in that area who are computer illiterate that would be attracted to adult videos on hard copy. I suspect something on the side, though.

The City of Ila may want to look at the North Fulton County City of Milton's fight against such stores for guidance. It's not an easy fight.

I can see that row of storefronts in Ila now: adult video, tatoo shop, gun and pawn shop mixed in with the hair salon, art and craft consignment and groomer.

E.J. since you do not have a TV you can go watch who goes in and out of stores.

Maybe the fine people of Ila did not like the selection of movies available in that antique regular movie store that only lasted a few months, lol. I think there's been a few movie stores there in the past that hasn't lasted.

MC Dawg- Vision Video lasted more than a few months and it wasn't an antique movie store yeah they had the old movies BUT they also had the new releases. With all the children in Madison county I would think a wholesome video store would be better suited for MC than a porn shop?
If they want to rent porn that's fine have a section or a room with all the dirty movies in it but still have the family movies on the shelf too?
