City Council Talks Streets, Finalizes Budget

The mayor and Board of Aldermen address citizens' concerns before hammering out the budget details.

The mayor, Board of Aldermen and employees of the City of Acworth hammered out the final adjustments to the fiscal 2012 budget and addressed concerns about street closures during Monday evening's work session. The budget, which has been several work sessions in the making, will leave the city with a balance of $41,039 at the end of the year and a use of fund balance of $50,598.

Efficient City Council Meeting Wraps Up

The Mayor and Board of Aldermen didn't waste time in making progress for the city.

Thursday's Acworth Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting efficiently handled its business, approving the consent agenda unanimously in a meeting that took all of seven minutes. Without any special presentations to make, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen got to business immediately. No members of the public or the Board of Aldermen had any comments to make after the agenda was passed.

Tonight's Mayor and Board of Aldermen meeting will be the site of a special presentation to an Acworth resident who flew with some of the most legendary American pilots of the Second World War. Second Lieutenant Leonard C. Hall, Jr, originally from Philadelpha, graduated from the Tuskegee Flight School on June 27, 1945. This renowned flight school was the birthplace of the famed 332nd Fighter Group, better known today as the Tuskegee Airmen. The all-black fighter group was the first of its kind in a then-segregated Army. At the controls of their red-tailed P-51 Mustang fighters, the 332nd did battle with the Luftwaffe over the skies of Europe, defending the B-17 and B-24 bombers that engaged in daring daytime raids to cripple the Axis war …

Cathy What an absolutely wonderful tribute to Second Lieutenant Leoard C. Hall. Having personally spent time with the Lieutenant while he still resided in Phila. I was left in awe of his descriptive story telling. Perhaps I am a bit partial, Mr. Hall is my son Kyle Salerni Hall's grandfather. The honors for him couldn't have been more appropriate!!!   more ›

Boy Scouts, Citizen Honored by City Council

Acworth's mayor and Board of Aldermen recognize a century of service and a night of heroism.

What do a million dollars, Michael Jordan, a man missing since 1943 and the Boy Scouts have in common? All were topics of discussion at Thursday's Acworth City Council meeting. Conference Room One at Acworth City Hall was unusually packed for the meeting on account of the dozens of Boy Scouts, Scoutmasters and proud family members in attendance. This year is the 101st anniversary of the founding of the Boy Scouts of America, and every year the Acworth City Council presents a plaque of appreciation to the various local troops for their role in shaping the young men of the future. The future could wait, though, as a few of the Scouts jumped up to peer over the ledge of the large desk where the mayor and Board of Aldermen were soon to meet. …
