It may still be winter, but one of the topics at next Tuesday's commissioners meeting will be July 4.

The Coweta County Board of Commissioners will discuss the annual request from the Newnan Rotary Club to help stage the city's annual July 4 extravaganza. Each year, the club sponsors a parade through historic Newnan, which culminates with a fireworks show at Newnan High School's football stadium. Past grand marshals of the festival have included country music singer Alan Jackson and the festivities draw thousands into the heart of the city.

The Rotary Club traditionally asks the county to help provide services for the event.

Other items on Tuesday's busy agenda include:

· An execution of a DOT request for a traffic signal at the intersection of Ga. Highway 34 and Newnan Pavilion.

· A setting of a public hearing for a rezoning petition by Scott and Shannon Wood to rezone their property on Thompson Road from RR-R-200.

· Several bid awards, including:

Hauling for the 1999 fiscal year.

Pipe purchases for 1999.
