VIENNA — In a regular meeting of the Vienna City Council on Monday night, members voted to proceed with the relocation of city hall.

This will start with the purchase of the old Bank of Dooly building on Cotton St.

Council members also passed a motion to ask an appraiser to assess the Vienna Heritage House (old City Hall) so that it can be placed on the market for sale. They were told that Georgia Power has connected the meters for the new street lamps in the downtown area, and Cook Electric was slated to hook them up Tuesday.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week will end Thursday with a candlelight ceremony in Cordele, and Council members were invited to attend, along with the general public. The ceremony will be conducted at the Victims’ Memorial Wall at the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office at 6 p.m.

Council also was informed of several upcoming events including the Turkey Creek Festival in Byromville, which is scheduled for Saturday, May 3 and Municipal Clerk’s week which is May 4-10.

In other business, Council:

• Were informed that an income tax credit passed in legislature. It will give credit to businesses and residents who purchase old buildings and property and restore them. • Expressed concern about a bill that will permit gun carriers, with licenses, to carry their guns into public establishments such as restaurants and supermarkets.

• Appointed Jean Cox to serve on the Housing Authority as a resident member. One resident of the area must serve on the board.

The next regular meeting of the Vienna City Council will be held on April 28, at 7 p.m. at city hall. Meetings always are open to the public.
