City, County Offices Begin Consolidating

Posted Mon, 12/02/2013 - 3:26pm

To help provide for a smooth transition to the new Macon-Bibb County government, a team from the City and County has been meeting weekly to develop and implement a plan to begin consolidating offices where possible. As stated by Brittain Thompson Bray Brown, Inc. to the Transition Task Force, combining offices can be likened to a set of dominoes: one group must move out before another can move in.

The first offices to consolidate will be Human Resources, Finance, Risk Management, and Purchasing. It was important to have HR and Finance moved and settled before January 1 so they could focus on paying bills and managing payroll. Risk Management and Purchasing are two offices closely associated with the other two, so they are included in the first round of moves.

Below are the new locations for the consolidated offices once the moves are complete.

Payroll (as of December 2, 2013)
City Hall, 700 Poplar Street, 3rd Floor
478-751-7240

Municipal Court Waives Additional Fines in December

Posted Tue, 11/26/2013 - 10:03am

This December, City of Macon’s Municipal Court will have an amnesty period for people with unpaid, overdue citations. If a person will come to first floor of City Hall at 700 Poplar Street and pay the entire initial fine, any fines added due to not appearing in court will be waived.

“We recognize that people miss court dates for many reasons, some perfectly excusable, and this will save them the aggravation of going through the process of setting another date and trying to save enough money for the additional fine,” says Judge Robert Faulkner. “It also provides a way for the Court to collect fines that may not have been paid for many months as people saved their money and went through the court process.”

New Cancer Survivor & Caregiver Support Website Launched

Posted Thu, 11/21/2013 - 2:02pm

At a press conference at Macon City Hall on November 21, the City of Macon and Medical Center of Central Georgia announced the official launch of StandTogether’s new international Sister City cancer survivor and caregiver support website. The site is accessible at www.standtogetherwebsite.com and is in both English and Russian.

StandTogether is the collaborative effort of cancer survivors, caregivers, educators, business leaders, health care, and technology professionals between the Sister Cities of Macon and Ulyanovsk in the Russian Federation. Recognizing no one, regardless of geography, should fight cancer alone, its mission is to provide an international forum and community to share, support, encourage and strengthen one another in the global fight against cancer.

“We are bringing the people of Macon and Ulyanovsk closer together by building and providing a network of support and caring for people around the world,” says Macon Mayor Robert Reichert. “Our hope is that families dealing with cancer can find resources, information, and support from across the globe to help them in their fight. Cancer is a disease that impacts entire families, and by making these types of connections, families won’t have to fight it alone.”
