Cleveland officials are considering adding camera to the greenway system after suffering repeated vandalism.
But officials balked at a $62,345 cost for one 10-camera system and asked the staff to get more quotes.
Police Chief Mark Gibson said the cameras would not likely deter vandalism, but would help identify the perpetrators.
Staff members said the cameras appear to be not easily damaged, but it was recommended that they be at least 15 feet above ground.
Meanwhile, there is discussion of a new Candies Creek Greenway.
Officials are looking at an 11-acre site that the creek meanders through that is near Fletcher Park and the planned new elementary school on Georgetown Road. The site is mainly below the flood plain. It is currently under the control of Wells Fargo Bank.
The council was told there could be a greenway of about two miles along the creek and that it could eventually connect the new elementary school with Cleveland Middle School.
The council also discussed repairing tennis courts at Tinsley Park, Deer Park and Blythe Bower.
Charlie Smith said he plays regularly at Lakeshore in Dalton, which is continually upgrading and adding more courts.
He said one possibility for smaller Cleveland courts is to convert them for pickle ball, which he said is growing in popularity.
Councilman Bill Estes said Lee University built a pickle ball court and "it was used once, then finally taken down."
He said what the city needs is a master plan for uses for all its parks, including not only tennis but other sports facilities.
Nicole Bridges said Women of Hope will hold its annual fundraiser on Aug. 29. The Night of Hope will be fully catered and feature members of the Crabb Family.
She said the facility is for women with addictions. It seeks to get them back into the workforce as one of its goals.
Councilman Estes cited the need for a left turn lane off Georgetown Road at the turn to 20th Street.
Vice Chairman George Poe said at one time there was a traffic light at that intersection, but it was removed in order to improve the flow of traffic.
After a woman requested a sidewalk on Blackburn Road, staff said it would cost over $14,000 to build.
Councilman Richard Banks made a motion that was approved to pay half if the county will pay half. The woman lives just over the line in the county.
