Mountain Park taxpayers won't be receiving new property assessment notices or a new 45-day appeals deadline, according to Fulton Chief Appraiser Burt Manning. He said Friday that it turns out the tiny north Fulton city did receive municipal tax estimates, so it can come off the mailing list of nine other cities that didn't. It saves about 600 notice mailings.
The county is trying to correct erroneous and omitted information from its first mailing. Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Chattahoochee Hills and unincorporated south Fulton also will not receive new notices.

Ricardo Azziz was inaugurated as the eighth president of Georgia Health Sciences University during an investiture ceremony Friday.
Azziz has served as president of the state's sole public medical college since July. Colleges often hold inaugurations months after presidents start.
Friday's ceremony is part of a series of events at the Augusta college this week. The events culminate Saturday with a day of service. Employees and their families were encouraged to volunteer on projects with different non-profit groups. LAURA DIAMOND

Fulton County prosecutors have obtained convictions against two men for a retaliatory, ambush-shooting of a group of street rivals.
Marco Moses, 25, and Moerise Williams, 29, were found guilty Thursday of three counts of aggravated assault and weapons charges. On Sept. 26, 2007, the two mean approached a parked car in Mechanicsville and opened fire on three passengers, Fulton prosecutors said. The investigation revealed evidence of witness intimidation and attempted bribery prior to trial, the DA's office said. BILL RANKIN
