During their monthly meeting Monday night, Clarkesville city leaders will consider two key proposals aimed at improving public safety and light pollution in the city.
At the top of the agenda is a vote on a proposed lighting ordinance. This citywide measure would regulate outdoor lighting in neighborhoods, businesses, and public spaces. Supporters say the ordinance is designed to cut down on light pollution, reduce energy use, and protect the small-town character of Clarkesville.
Also up for a vote, is whether to join the Northeast Georgia Regional Radio Network, a multi-county emergency communications system. If approved, Clarkesville would gain access to shared radio infrastructure, improving coordination among local police, fire, and EMS with surrounding agencies during emergencies.
The public meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on July 7 at Clarkesville City Hall.
