The Mableton City Council will meet this Wednesday, April 9, at 6:30 p.m. at the Riverside EpiCenter, 135 Riverside Pkwy, Austell, GA 30168.

There are three items of new business.

One is to grant City Manager Bill Tanks and Finance Director Karen Ellis the ability to make deposits and withdrawals from the city’s Georgia Fund 1 (LGIP) account, which is held by Truist Bank.

Georgia Fund 1 is a money market-like investment pool. It’s basically a shared savings account for government entities in Georgia. Instead of each city or school district trying to invest on its own, the cities pool their money together, and the State Treasurer’s office manages it professionally.

The second is a presentation on additing signatories to

The third is the first reading of an ordinance to form the Mableton Municipal Court.
