The Demorest City Council will discuss upgrading the downtown pavilion and an amendment to the fire inspection ordinance during its regular meeting on Tuesday, April 1.
The city is considering upgrading the pavilion located in the downtown area next to the post office. The council and staff will discuss the cost related to those improvements.
The council will be considering the second reading of an amendment to the fire inspection ordinance. According to Fire Chief David Scheurer, the amendment would shorten the time for businesses to come into compliance. This would ensure safety for residents and visitors that frequent the businesses.

The city council will also revisit its alcoholic beverage ordinance. Piedmont University has events throughout the year that serve alcohol from time to time. The ordinance previously stated that alcohol vendors that served inside the city limits must have a Demorest pouring license. The council will consider changing the ordinance to recognize any pouring license that is issued by any city in Habersham County as well as a pouring license issued by the county.
The Demorest City Council will hold its work session at 6 p.m. and its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Both meetings will be held in the Demorest Municipal Conference Room located at 250 Alabama Street in Demorest.
