Fayetteville City Council's first Monday meeting for July will be postponed and the council will have back-to-back meetings.

The first Monday is July 5, the legal holiday for the Fourth of July, so council will meet July 12 instead. The group's regular third Monday meeting is July 19. Both are at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Work sessions for each meeting will be the previous Wednesday; July 7 and 14, also at 7 p.m.

, State Rep. Greg Hecht, who represents north Fayette along with parts of two other counties, has been appointed to the Joint Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse Delivery Study Committee by Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor.

Legislation in 1993 reorganized the delivery of mental health services in the state. The study committee will investigate the current structure of regional and community service boards and decide whether changes are warranted to improve services. The group will present a report on its findings on or before Dec. 1.

, Plans for a Car Spa, a combination car wash, convenience store and repair shop, in the Fayette Promenade shopping center have been dropped for now. Developers had applied for a special exception to commercial zoning to allow the business directly across Ga. Highway 85 from the back entrance to Home Depot. But after receiving opposition from nearby residents and cold response from the Fayetteville Planning Commission, the developers withdrew the request.
