City enters into sale agreement with Chick-fil-A

During its regular March meeting, the City Council authorized an agreement for the sale of the current City Hall property at 513 Montgomery Highway to Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A will have a 90 day period of due diligence to inspect and evaluate the current property. The closing price will be $1.5 million.

"This period allows the purchaser to fully examine the site," City Manager Jeff Downes said.

Also during the meeting, Downes announced the city will be implementing a new online action center to manage complaints from residents.

"If there is a particular pothole or a dead animal in the road, city employees will be able to go online and see when it was reported and when it was resolved," Downes said. "It will be a good way to gather data and also document the way we respond to complaints."

Other features will include a mapping tool and group request options. Downes said the software will help keep employees accountable and allow them to see if there are multiple issues occurring in certain areas.

The system is currently in a trial period and will launch April 1.
