Paulding Commissioners wasted little time giving approving votes to three items brought before them at Tuesday night’s board meeting.

Following commissioners’ approval, the county will extend an $85,700 contract with RLH Group LLC to get through the permitting process for its new reservoir.

Also receiving approval was a $308,733.30 bid from TMI Services Inc. for countywide line striping and traffic signage, as well as an application for a new alcohol license at Goodwill Shell, 3601 Macland Road in Hiram, for off-premises consumption of malt beverages and wine.

Commissioner David Barnett at the end of the meeting promoted Northside Elementary’s Feb. 6 event at East Paulding High that will see the Harlem Wizards play a basketball team fielded by Northside staff and supporters. Advance ticket sales are $8, with tickets at the door going for $10; proceeds from the PTA-sponsored event will benefit students.

Commissioner Larry Ragsdale was not present at the meeting. Board Chairman David Austin told those in attendance that Ragsdale’s absence was due to illness.
