An amended budget, an annual report from Comcast Cable and the appointment of a Fayetteville police officer to the Fayette Sheriff’s Drug Task Force are on the agenda for the April 5 meeting of the Fayetteville City Council.

The council will consider adopting an amendment to the General Fund for an overall $112,844 increase. Revenues of $77,076 are projected for the Fines category while $1,950 is projected for Contributions and Donations. Revenue in the Other Financing Source category is expected to increase by $59,805 from auction proceeds from surplus computers and from Georgia Municipal Association lease-purchase on computers.

General Fund expenditures totaling $112,844 are forecast for fund categories such as General Government, Judicial, Public Safety, Public Works, Housing and Development and Debt Service. Expenditures include items such as information technology firewall replacement, a computer security door in City Hall, security cameras, replacement of two wrecked police vehicles, Pye Road base work, signs at Dickson Spring Park and Junior Police Academy supplies.

The council will also consider amendments to the Capital Projects Fund, Impact Fee Fund, Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) Fund, Downtown Development Authority (DDA) and Main Street Tourism Fund budgets, Finance Director Lynn Robinson said in an earlier statement.

Also at the meeting, Comcast Cable will give its annual report that will include what company officials called an expanded presence in 2007. That presence was referenced in terms of a consolidated Community Channel and a new, unnamed operations facility.

The council will consider an agreement with Fayette County Sheriff’s Office to appoint a city officer to the Sheriff’s Drug Task Force.
