The Waynesboro City Council could move two projects ahead tonight during its regular business meeting.
The City Council will consider an ordinance change to fine residents for repeated false security alarms and a proposal to spend $35,000 on a tourism project.
Waynesboro emergency authorities suggested the false alarm change, in which residents would receive fines after their third false alarm. Fines could be waived by attending an alarm education course.
Waynesboro Police Chief Doug Davis said his department spent more than 300 hours responding to security alarms accidentally set off last year. He said similar ordinances adopted by other municipalities reduced the number of false alarms.
Members of the City Council discussed tourism spending last month and will consider appropriating $35,000 tonight. The money would be spent to create a tourism Web site and revamp brochures.
The brochures would be distributed in hotel lobbies, rest areas and welcome centers to help attract visitors to the city.
