Happy Halloween! Whether you’re a young child or young at heart, Halloween is such an exciting time. Trick or Treat hours in Flemington are on Oct. 31st from 6-8 pm. Please stay safe and adhere to CDC guidelines.

Please join us to Team Up to Cleanup Flemington! All equipment and PPE will be provided. RSVP early and receive a free t-shirt. THE FIRST 500 citizens to RSVP will also receive a Rivers Alive neck gaiter! A volunteer appreciation lunch will be hosted at City Hall. Help us keep Flemington a beautiful place to call home.

Keep Georgia Beautiful hosts this special river cleanup statewide each year, however, since Liberty County doesn’t have any rivers, municipalities are hosting citywide cleanup events. Litter from the city inevitably makes it to waterways.

Your health is important to us! Social distancing and the use of masks in City Hall are required.

Sign in begins at 8:30 am.  It typically only takes an hour or two before the volunteers have finished their area and are at City Hall enjoying some warm hospitality.

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Distribution

On Thursday, August 13^th, 2020, long-time Flemington City Councilwoman Donnie Smith tendered her resignation.  Ms. Smith moved to Flemington in 1982 and was appointed to Council just a few short years later in 1986 by then-Mayor O.C. Martin to fill an unexpired term.  A short pause of service occurred when Ms. Smith, Directorate of Logistics at Fort Stewart (ret), was needed during Operation Desert Storm.  Ms. Smith resumed her public service with the City and has served continuously since then.  She tendered her resignation to focus on the rescue of innocent animals.

Ms. Smith is passionate about the welfare of animals in Liberty County, spending much of her free time transporting animals to receiving rescues all over the South East.  She works tirelessly to advocate on their behalf and is proud that through the lifesaving partnership between Carpathia Paws and The Underground Tailroad, 711 dogs and cats were saved from Liberty County Animal Control last year alone.  Ms. Smith began supporting Carpathia Paws in 2010, becoming a founding board member and the Rescue’s Secretary in 2014.

According to the City’s charter, a vacated seat can be filled by appointment by the Council for the remainder of the unexpired term.  The remaining term ends December 31^st, 2021.  To be eligible for consideration, a resident must physically reside in the City of Flemington for at least twelve months and be registered to vote in municipal elections of the City.  If these requirements are met, the Mayor and Council request that anyone with the desire for appointment to contact the City Clerk at 912.877.3223 or at flemington@coastalnow.net for a Petition for Appointment.  Completed petitions should be delivered to City Hall, which is located at 156 Old Sunbury Rd. by September 30^th, 2020 for consideration.

On August 20th, 2020, the Council unanimously passed a Resolution requiring the use of face coverings while in public or at City Hall.  Businesses have the freedom to chose whether they require a mask or not.  This Resolution expires when the Council revokes or modifies it.

The Mayor and Council of the City of Flemington will hold a planning workshop which will include a public hearing regarding the Impact Fee Draft Annual Update transmittal on Thursday, August 20th, 2020 at 3:00 p.m. at the Flemington City Hall, 156 Old Sunbury Road. *Interested persons are encouraged to attend via Zoom.

Jenelle Gordon is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
