Middle Georgia State College will become Middle Georgia State University on July 1, according to Henry Whitfield, director of the institution.
At the Eastman City Council meeting on June 8, Whitfield presented the upcoming university’s proclamation, gaining the approval of the council.
The proclamation not only called attention to the institution as Georgia’s only public school of aviation, but also noted the Eastman campus’s proximity to the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport, commending the college’s ability to “transform individuals,” according to Whitfield.
Additionally, Whitfield announced July 8 as Middle Georgia State University Day, with an event at the university to be held.
The city council meeting also saw the approval of a detainee contract with Pulaski State Prison.
City Manager Bea Edge announced that the proposed contract was for two details, together at a cost to the city of $79,000.00 per year. The contract stipulates that, for cancellation, either party must simply provide seven days written notice.
Edge also specified that these detainees were also responsible for working on the cemetery and complimented the work thus far.
City approves proclamation
Becky Sheffield, chief of police, represented the police department to give the police report and to provide context on the business of advertising the sale of old police cars. Sheffield stated that most of the new cars were in and that there are several ready to sell.
In her city manager’s report, Edge noted that solid waste has been behind on picking up garbage lately, but that most of the work has been caught up. According to the contract with the department, if some trash is not picked up on the assigned day, the city must give time to correct the error.
Edge also pointed out that the streets of Eastman are still being sprayed for mosquitoes “at least one time per week.”
The family of John Harrington extends its utmost thanks to the fire department for its work on their home.
