Roswell CCGR rental request shot down by city official
A city official denied rental use of Memorial Recreation Center to the Con cerned Citizens Group of Roswell after council members debated the proposal. Center director Kathryn Lepard and City Manager Robert J. Owen cited public access limits and insurance requirements, while CCGR maintained non profit status and sought space without political aims. Council members weighed past center use by other groups and potential approval for CCGR, with opinions split regarding fairness and legality.
