At their Work Session Monday morning and voting Regular Session Tuesday evening, the Lowndes County Commission this week will mostly consider the three applicants to the Valdosta-Lowndes County Land Bank Authority and a variety of grants, plus renewing a Statewide Mutual Aid Agreement Between Lowndes County and the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency, as well as with all the other Georgia counties.

No rezonings are on the agenda.

The one subdivision infrastructure acceptance is as usual listed as “BUDGET IMPACT: N/A”; nevermind the future county taxpayer expenses to maintain the roads, water, and sewer.

More communications infrastructure is at end of life and needs to be replaced.

An attempt to sell of land near Long Pond in Lake Park got a bid of $30,000, below the minimum of $47,000, so staff recommends rejecting the bid. The board packet does not say where on Danieli Drive, but the only lot listed as owned by Lowndes County, according to the Tax Assessors Map, was bought in 1975 for $2500, and is at 5407 Danieli Drive, across the street from Long Pond.

And an application for beer and wine sales, adding offsite sales.
