ALBANY, GA --
City of Albany Commissioners are currently meeting with two main topics to discuss.

Assistant City Manager, Wes Smith, addressed the board and emphasized that these plans can generally run $250,000 dollars over the course of six-to-eight months.

Commissioners discussed the plan with some saying it must go into affect while others argued that with the current budget status, it isn't the right time.
