Clermont approved changes to its charter that would divide the town into four voting wards. The Town Council passed three motions at its meeting Thursday night, one approving the new district map, another approving changes to the charter and a third agreeing to send the changes to the state legislature through Rep. Lee Hawkins, R-Gainesville, whose district includes Clermont. “This is a resolution to authorize a General Assembly on behalf of the town of Clermont, Ga., to adopt a new town charter for the town of Clermont, Ga., and replace the old town charter, the charter approved on April 5, 1994,” said Mayor James Nix.
