Jasper Council Member Receives Award

Jasper City Council Member John Foust received recognition last night for completing approximately forty hours of municipal classes given in Savannah and Athens. During the February fourth Jasper City Council Meeting, Jasper Mayor John Weaver presented Mr. Foust with an award for his efforts. The award is sponsored by the University of Georgia and the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA) for the satisfactory completion of the classes. The mayor explained that all council members are required to take basic municipal classes. However, he said Foust always signs up for extra classes.

“That does show a lot of work on John’s behalf,”

Weaver said, “

He deserves that award.”
