The AJC reports…

“Decatur has rehired its deputy city manager for another two years – 31 years into his tenure at the city.

The city commission on Monday agreed to renew a two-year contract with Hugh Saxon, beginning July 1. Saxon oversees the city’s $16 million of capital improvement projects, such as a new fire station and upgrades to other city buildings.

Saxon will earn $117,000 a year under the new contract. Commissioner Jim Baskett described the salary as a value, noting Saxon’s role saves the city from having to hire a construction management firm to keep the various projects on track.

Saxon has worked for the city in varying capacities for three decades. He reports to city manager Peggy Merriss.”

Oh yes…I know you guys love me for my mad cutting and pasting skills…

Speaking of Peggy Merriss…I saw her on Ponce this morning across the street from the Post Office talking with a small group of people on the sidewalk.  Wonder what was going on…
