    A couple of South Georgia mayors attended a forum at the Albany Civil Rights Institute to enlighten the public on how city governments run, Thursday.

The owners of the dilapidated Heritage House hotel have one more week to appeal a Superior Court ruling that orders them to tear it down.

Last month, a Superior Court jury agreed with the city that the structure is unsafe and it would cost too much money to fix it up.

Greenbrier Holdings & Investments has until next Friday to begin demolition or appeal. The city can then begin demolition if no action is taken and bill Greenbrier through a lien on the property. If Greenbrier appeals, City Attorney Nathan Davis says he'll ask the court for a post appeal bond to give the city some money to secure the property until the Court of appeals hears the case.
