The city limits of Odum now has animal control services. If you're having problems with animals inside the
city limits, you can contact Animal Control via City Hall in Jesup at 427-1313. Ask to speak to an Animal
Control Officer. Give them your address, description of the animal, state how the animal is a problem, and ask
that they come to Odum to investigate. The officer will contact the owner if possible; if the owner cannot be
contacted, he will pick up the offending animal. This is handled through a contract Wayne County has with the
City of Jesup. There are only two animal control officers handling calls for all of the county, so your patience
is requested when calling them.
City Hall wants to remind you to be sure your trash is out and in the designated area by 7:00 a.m. to be picked up
on Tuesday. Don't pack your bags too heavy, and be sure they are tied securely!
The new fire station in Odum is completed and back in operation. Money has been allocated in the county budget
which will allow the city of Odum to buy additional equipment for firefighting.
The Odum Depot has become the first public municipal building in Georgia to house the
Foundations of American Law and Government Display. This is authorized by Georgia House Bill
941. The bill makes it legal for cities and towns to display some historical documents.
Included in the display are the Ten Commandments, the Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of
Independence, the Magna Carta, the Star-Spangled Banner, the national motto (In God We
Trust), the Preamble of the Georgia Constitution, the Bill of Rights of the United States
Constitution, and the description of the image of Lady Justice.
