This morning’s 8:30 AM
$45,600.00 for new grounds for four
radio towers:
was it in the budget, or is this another emergency no-bid item?
Ditto the $10,379.00 for the
Kinderlou Lift Station Pump?
Each item names only one company quoting.
After
abandoning Beaver Lane, will the county vote to fix it as a private road,
like they did with
Carter Way?
And from whom did the county receive the abandonment request?
Will the
County Manager’s Report
include
the Hahira W. Main St. annexation?
Also on
the Lowndes County Commission agenda
for discussion Monday morning and vote Tuesday evening,
appointing
“Ms. Andrea Schuijer and a Commissioner”
to the
South Regional Joint Development Authority.
Presumably that’s a misspelling for
Andrea Schruijer, who is also Executive Director of the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority.
But
the county’s web page on that Joint Authority
says she’s already on it.
So is this a reappointment?
And which slots are vacant?
Also, what does this Joint Authority do?
The
agenda sheet
for the appointment to the
Southern Georgia Area Agency on Aging
almost says what they’re planning to do:
“Commissioner Joyce Evans’ term on the Southern Georgia Area Agency on Aging Board
will expire June 30, 2016, leaving a vacant seat.
Staff asks that the Board appoint a member to fill the vacant seat.”
It doesn’t say they’re going to reappoint Commissioner Evans.

Appoint two members: Ms. Andrea Schuijer and a CommissionerDocuments:South Regional Joint Development Authority.pdf
The county actually has
a web page on this Authority, which says there are members from Berrien, Brooks, Clinch, Cook, Echols, Lanier, and Lowndes Counties (although many of their slots are vacant), and the current Lowndes members
are Glenn Gregory, Andrea Schruijer, Bill Rountree, and Bill Holland.
So should that be reappoint Ms. Schruijer?
And who’s not being reappointed to make room for “a Commissioner”?
The county’s web page says this Authority serves as “a funding mechanism”
but not for what:Similar to the Lowndes Development Authority, this joint authority
is comprised of members representing Lowndes, Berrien, Brooks,
Clinch, Echols and Lanier counties. Serving as a funding mechanism,
members are appointment by their respective county for a term of
four years. For more information, you may contact the Office of the
County Clerk, 229-671-2400, or sdenson@lowndescounty.com.- Southern Georgia Area Agency on Aging
Appoint/reappoint a member- Public Hearings
- Abandonment of a Portion of Beaver Lane (CR 250)
Make one or both of the required determinationsDocuments:Abandonment of a Portion of Beaver Lane.pdf
Is the rest of Beaver Lane already private? It is only connected to the county
road system by this section they now want to abandon.
And the only property owners show on
the Lowndes County Tax Assessors maps for Beaver Lane between Mt Zion Road and Phillips Road are
Jimmy L. Watkins of 4689 Mt Zion Road, parcel 0061 001,
Robert C. and Stephanie J. Simmons of 4876 Phillips Road, parcel 0062 001A,
and
Thomas Wade and Laverne B. Jackson of Mt Zion Road, parcel 0062 001B.
They all seem to front on one of the other roads.
That’s all in the Withlacoochee River watershed.
