The Valdosta City Council heard from citizens about
coal ash,
wastewater,
and
toxic waste in the landfill.
Mayor John Gayle
offered to answer later in his office Eric Howard’s
question about wastewater in his yard.
The Mayor expressed his opinion that he and the council
couldn’t do anything about the landfill,
and read for yourself what he said about
the Florida county resolutions about Valdosta wastewater.
George Boston Rhynes
told a droll tale about a dead cat and turkeys.
The
Historic Preservation appeal was long and contentious,
with the Mayor twice breaking a tie because only four City Council members
were there: the appeal was approved.
A citizen
spoke about that afterwards, as did
Council Tim Carroll.
Council Robert Yost recommended
all the Hospital Authority Board should resign.
They unanimously approved
both
of the
rezoning items; ditto the
right of way maintenance bids.
And
Firefighter Michael Penland is employee of the month.
Below are links to the LAKE video of each item, with a few notes (some drawn from Valdosta’s own
