In a preliminary step to the construction of the Trion School’s new multi- service buildng, the Trion Town Council Thursday night approved a bond resolution allowing the Trion Board of Education to borrow $6 Million Dollars at a fixed rate of interest. According to Superintendent Phil Williams this is the first step in the school system being able to use SPLOST funding for the school’s multi-purpose facility. 

Thursday evening the board also approved a contract between United Water Solutions to maintain its fire hydrants. Of the 105 hydrants in town, 50 are new. The company will help maintain the older hydrants according to the Mayor.

Also the council approved the installation of a new pool lift and other handicapped accessible features  required by the Americans With Diabilities Act. Recreation Department Director Nolan Crisp said the lift will cost $7,000 to $8,000 with rails for the pool steps costing an additional $2500. He said the renovations must be made before the pool can open this summer.

 The council also named Michael Miller the new court prosecutor after the resignation of the previous prosecutor. The position pays $250 per court session.
