That Annual Report page on Microgrids and Batteries
looks good. Until you start to notice what’s missing from the documents.
So does this comparison of energy mixes in 2007 and 2018,
at least as far as “Hydro, Wind, Solar” going from 1 to 11%.
However, quite lacking is Continue reading →
Six minutes, almost as long as the preceding Work Session, for this special hurry-up real estate item that couldn’t wait
one day for tonight’s Regular Session.
Lowndes County Project Manager Chad McLeod explained the easement.
Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker asked wasn’t there an existing implied easement.
Real Estate Agent Tom McCall said there wasn’t,
although what he described sounded awful like that.
However, he pointed out they had no idea Continue reading →
Lowndes County still does not have a County Planner and now not a Zoner, either,
since Carmella Braswell resigned last month.
As usual, Molly Stevenson spoke for Planning.
I see she is now listed as
Department Head on some county documents.

Misty Yeargan of 4501 Wellington Woods Drive, across US 41 from the point
of the subject property, wanted to know if there was a plan for the subject
property.
The proponent answered to say that there’s not room for a driveway down there,
so any driveway would have to be farther north, about where the current
driveway is now.
Acting county planner Molly Stevenson added that there would be buffer
requirements in place, as well.
They voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning with no conditions.

Special Called Meeting
Monday, April 8, 2019
A special called meeting will be held for consideration of an
agreement between Coleman Talley and Lowndes County for a mutual
easement. *There could be a slight delay if the work session runs
longer than expected.
They expect this Work Session to take less than 15 minutes,
since they have
a Special Called Meeting at 8:45 AM:
“There could be a slight delay if the work session runs longer than expecte.”
Why they couldn’t wait one day to vote on that also in tomorrow’s
Regular Session is mysterious.
LOWNDES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
PROPOSED AGENDA
WORK SESSION, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 2019, 8:30 a.m.
REGULAR SESSION, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2019, 5:30 p.m.
According to DSSWA Chair Kevin Beals,
today’s
special called meeting
is cancelled.
Instead, they will handle business at their regular April meeting.
There is no agenda for that meeting yet, but he will ask for one to be
sent when it is ready.
The topics of the special called meeting were the
July 1, 2019 increase in local government surcharges per ton,
from $1.00 to $2.50, as passed last year in
HB 792
and
SB 385.
Also ADS wants to increase its rates, due to that and apparently some federal rule changes.
Subtract out the invocation, pledge, and approval of minutes (which you couldn’t hear anyway because
the county’s sound system wasn’t working) and the
Chairman’s ending comments on Youth Leadership,
and your elected Commissioners spent about six minutes on the business of the county,
including spending some unknown amount of money on road services.
Chairman Bill Slaughter mentioned the recent death of his predecessor Fred DeLoach.
County Manager Joe Pritchard said he tried to talk
Carmella Braswell out of retiring,
but she has done so.
VALDOSTA — The Deep South Solid Waste Authority will hold a
special called meeting, 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, at the Southern
Georgia Regional Commission office, 327 W. Savannah Ave.
