The Hampton City Council voted at its Feb. 11 regular meeting to approve joint resolutions regarding a new service delivery strategy agreement and support of a new campaign related to the 2020 U.S. Census. Both resolutions are under consideration by Henry County as well as its other three cities.

The council also approved a resolution addressing the selection of engineering firms to provide services for the city when necessary.

A proposed resolution setting the fee structure for rental of city facilities was sent back to committee for additional research. According to a city staff memo, the facilities in question are the Old Shop Property, McBrayer Park, Terry F. Jones Depot Park, Historic Train Depot, and Catherine S.
