“Why do we have to kneel before their wishes? How is it that a single foreign corporation can have greater power and say than the hundreds of property owners and their supporters?” asked Jim Parker
in
the 11 November 2014 Lowndes County Commission Regular Session. Continue reading

Videos: Pipeline, agriculture, lighting, appointments, and parks @ LCC 2014-11-11
Update 2014-11-17: board packet.
Three citizens spoke against the unnecessary and hazardous Sabal Trail fracked methane pipeline. Several Commissioners even spoke up in Other Business, turning it into de facto Commisioner Comments. But none of them called for a resolution or ordinance against the pipeline.
The subdivision rezoning still got no objections, while the rezoning for agricultural use got massive objections and a compromise solution.
The emergency security monitor replacement is, you guessed it, Continue reading
Videos: 9 consideration, 6 tax lighting, 4 appointments, 2 rezonings, 1 proclamation @ LCC 2014-10-27 LCC 2014-11-10
They vote tonight on what they discussed yesterday morning in these videos. A
subdivision rezoning
gets no objections
while a
rezoning for agricultural use
gets massive objections.
Also few if any of those objectors have said anything about
the Sabal Trail pipeline.
Do priorities around here seem odd?
The emergency security monitor replacement is, you guessed it, a no-bid contract with the same company that originally installed them. Which fits with the no-bid Alapaha Water Plant Expansion, back this time for property acquisition after twice failing to get a setback variance at ZBOA.
The state changed the qualifications Continue reading
9 for consideration, 6 special tax lighting, 4 appointments, 2 rezonings, 1 proclamation @ LCC 2014-11-10
Only one emergency expense this time, and it’s not for a road or water treatment!
It’s for
security video monitors for their own palace.
Presumably those are different from
the big monitor behind their podium
that very rarely we see in use.

Macedonia First Baptist Church

Pipeline, road repair, Bailey, water, and Commercial Tax Schedules @ LCC 2014-10-28
They finally made a decision onG
the Bailey rezoning:
the one the applicant liked least.
They accepted
the Creekwood Subdivision detention ponds;
and the
Glen Laurel infrastructure;
will all that be maintained any better than the one at Hamilton Circle?
Dr. Michael Noll
spoke for WACE against the Sabal Trail fracked methane pipeline.
Agenda item 6.i. is changed in the county’s online agenda from Rural to Commercial without the agenda being marked as amended.
See agenda, the LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session, and the board packet obtained via open records request by LAKE and scanned and posted on the LAKE website. Here are videos of events as they transpired, followed by a video playlist.

Board Packet @ LCC 2014-10-27
Surprisingly, when asked for this packet Monday morning,
the County Clerk agreed to provide it later that same day, and did.
However, she delivered it on paper.
Processing time for that interleaved with other tasks took LAKE
until now.
Here is the
board packet
for the
27 October 2014 Regular Session
of the Lowndes County Commission.
It answers many questions that the public board meeting left hanging,
such as
what land does the county plant to acquire for that booster pump.
If the county would put these board packets on their own website
before their meetings, the citizens who pay their salaries
would be able to see what they were talking about.

Videos: Emergency road repair, grandfathered business, water, and Rural Land Agricultural Improvement Schedules @ LCC 2014-10-27
More detail and issues with Bailey REZ-2014-16 after much discussion last time. Almost ten minutes on 6a. Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention. Numerous things incomplete or just FYI such as drug seizures in the financial report, none of which the citizens could see. This was in the Work Session Monday morning. They vote Tuesday 5:30 PM in the Regular Session.
They
actually named the multiple bids for a water item,
unlike the
single-source price-not-quoted pump replacement last time.
And they’re buying some property (at some place unnamed)
for a booster pump.
The Rural Land Agricultural Improvement Schedules was actually for Commercial land. We learned why Shiloh Road needs emergency repairs. Nothing about that on the new county Lowndes411 twitter account, and the county still doesn’t publish its own board packets.
I can understand why the Commission needs to approve a juvenile justice grant, a GEFA loan application, to accept quit claim deeds for a subdivision’s detention ponds, and to accept infrastructure for a subdivision, not to mention a CDBG agreement. But to replace batteries in a UPS?
See the agenda. Here are links to the videos of the items as they transpired this morning. Continue reading

What’s this mysterious Rural Land Agricultural Improvement Schedules? Why does Shiloh Road need emergency repairs? Nothing about that on the new county Lowndes411 twitter account, and the county still doesn’t publish its own board packets.
