Last week we noted the closure of the business office only at the East Cobb Government Service Center, which technically takes place tomorrow, Friday, Dec. 29, since it’s the last business day of calendar year 2017.
The rest of the facility at 4400 Lower Roswell Road is staying open, including the community meeting rooms near the back of the building. It’s where early voting takes place, and has been a regular meeting spot for the East Cobb Civic Association.
Starting Jan. 1, there will be a $25 fee charge to reserve the meetings rooms, and Cobb government has provided instructions and on how to do that, and to sign up.
The fee is part of a set of fees and service charges approved by Cobb commissioners last month for public use of a variety of county facilities, including libraries, parks and senior centers (see yesterday’s post here about town hall meetings in January for the senior fees).
The South Cobb Government Service Center on Austell Road is also part of the new reservation fee structure.
The large meeting room at the East Cobb center has a capacity of 88 and a smaller conference room holds up to 10 people.
The reservation fee goes into effect for bookings starting in February.
