Danielsville to revamp city utility applications

City attorney Dale Perry said he would work on an ordinance concerning the homeowner’s responsibility in cases of unpaid utility bills left by their renters.

In other business, Perry suggested the council schedule a meeting with a family, along with the funeral service, who is seeking to have their mother’s grave moved three feet due to a misplacement of their father’s grave more than 30 years ago. The council agreed at their last business meeting to allow the grave to be moved, but more issues have developed. The council said they will work to get the issue resolved for the family.
A discussion on issues with Waste Pro garbage services was delayed for another month.

The council heard from former council member Junne Temple, who attended a meeting on LOST (Local Option Sales Tax) funds distribution for the county, that Danielsville will continue to receive the same amount of funding despite a decrease in population, which is what LOST funding is based on. Temple said Comer’s council agreed to give up their slight increase and divide it among several cities. She said the city receives $110,000 in LOST funding each year. “We didn’t gain anything but we didn’t lose anything,” Temple said. “We’re very grateful to Comer.”
