Half-way house for ex-offenders, Country Club tower, six Appointments @ VCC 2020-02-10

Postponed from last Thursday due to weather, the Valdosta City Council meets
tonight, to consider some rather contentious cases from the Planning Commission,
and to make a bunch of appointments, plus some bids for equipment.

This Valdosta City Council bid item is interesting:

4.d) Consideration of bids for a Trailer-Mounted Mobile Televising Unit for the Utilities Department (Bid No. 27-19-20 A).

Maybe with that Valdosta Utilities can see what’s happening with equipment they leave in a park overnight,
for example maybe in McKey Park after
today’s 200-gallon sewage spill.

Here is the agenda.
It says February 6, but the
Valdosta calendar entry for today
says
“RESCHEDULED – Valdosta City Council Meeting,
Monday, February 10, 2020 – 5:30pm”
