Commercial: DRAKE STORY 1: Audit Underway For Northwest Ga. Housing Authority Finances The Northwest Georgia Housing Authority's new director, Justin Jones, has initiated efforts to address financial discrepancies within the agency by hiring an outside accountant, Shango Oseitutu. Concerns over cash flow issues and misallocated funds were raised during a recent board meeting. Jones acknowledged problems stemming from an improperly set up financial reporting system implemented several years ago. These issues involve ensuring funds designated for specific projects are properly allocated. Board Chair Lee Hight emphasized the need for accurate financial reporting and rectifying misallocated payments before the upcoming annual audit deadline of Sept. 30. Newly appointed board member Jamie Palmer, with a personal connection to the authority, expressed commitment to addressing these challenges. STORY 2: Calhoun Non-Profit to Host Annual Back to School Celebration The Christian Community Outreach Ministry will host its eighth annual Back to School Celebration on Saturday, July 27, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Calhoun Recreation Department. The event provides free backpacks, school supplies, clothes, and shoes to local school children. Last year’s event was well-attended, drawing hundreds of families and community organizations. Activities include music, games, and free food for the whole family. Families are advised to arrive early to line up for supplies. The CCO Ministry operates out of World Harvest Church and offers support throughout the week. For more information, contact Sherry Turner at 678-767-0071 or visit christian-community-outreach.com. STORY 3: Catoosa Schools Proposing 30% Property Tax Hike The Catoosa County school board has proposed a 30.14% property tax increase for 2024, maintaining the current millage rate of 15.040 mills. The increase is attributed to rising costs, particularly in state-mandated employee insurance. Although the millage rate remains unchanged, state law requires advertising it as a tax increase due to the "rollback rate" calculation. Three public hearings are scheduled in August at the board's offices in Ringgold to gather citizen input. Last year, the board increased property taxes by 18.65%. The majority of property taxes in the county are levied by the school board compared to county and city governments. Back in a moment Commercial: INGLES 1 STORY 4: PSD High Schools Going Cashless For Athletic Events Cedartown and Rockmart high schools are transitioning to a fully digital ticketing system for all home athletic events starting this school year. Cash and paper tickets will no longer be accepted at the gate. Instead, fans must use the GoFan platform via website or app to purchase tickets. School staff will assist with digital purchases using debit or credit cards at the gate. Cash transactions will still be available at concession stands. Advantages touted include convenience, speed, and enhanced security. This change aims to streamline entry, eliminate cash handling, and reduce wait times. The system debuts during preseason scrimmages on Aug. 2, with tickets priced at $10 each. STORY 5: Soaring To New Heights: The Coosa Eagles Marching Band Coosa High School's marching band celebrated the conclusion of their band camp with music and laughter at the school's newly installed football field turf. The camp, held over two weeks with daily practices from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., focused on preparing for the upcoming season. Band director Cody Bray commended the students for exceeding expectations by completing their full show opener titled "Infinite Sky," themed around soaring to new heights. Featuring the school's fight song and alma mater, the show aims to highlight each band section with energetic music and solos.
