Warner Robins council ties up loose ends
The
Warner Robins City Council tied up some loose ends at its last meeting of the
year Monday night.
The
council approved an ordinance that grandfathered business that has gaming
machines to close to churches or schools to continue operating.
In
October the council revised the ordinance making it stricter than before. The
changes required security cameras to be placed in the businesses that have the
machines as well as new distance requirements from schools to 200 feet from 100
feet.
The
city found that eight businesses with the coin-operated machines were closer
than the new 200 feet requirement but agreed to grandfather them in.
In
other business the council voted on a bereavement policy for all full-time
employees that have a family member that dies, it would be separate from sick
leave.
The
council also invited the 2007 Warner Robins American Little League team that
won the World Series to the meeting for a five-year reunion.
Correction 12/21/12: The distance in the
gaming machine ordinance is measured in yards, not feet. A business that
has the machines must be 200 yards away from a school.
