Videos of votes: James Road fallout, airport, water, sewer, alcohol @ LCC 2014-05-13



In a

Special Presentation
to Thomas Smith on retiring from the 911 center,
we saw a rare use of the county’s video camera to display the podium
at the front of the room.
Escalated from contingency fund to SPLOST payment (we still don’t know how much):
fixing the

James Road 10-inch drop in 48 hours

in front of Westside Elementary School due to faulty road construction in 2008.
Also due to that same hasty 2008 James Road widening and realignment
for the

James Road second mall and massive subdivision mega-project

that never happened,
they scheduled a Public Hearing for abandoning

Excess Right of Way on James Rd & Riverside Dr.

And they voted

to fix three discrepencies MIDS, Inc. found
in its contract of last year.
They voted for the low bid on the

lift station pump
without ever saying what the other bids were.

They reappointed
Airport Authority Chairman Steve Everett

for another four-year term
; he did not appear.
They approved the

911 Center surplus item sale
.
They scheduled a Public Hearing to abandon part of

Old Statenville Road SE

because they say only seven cars a day, no, now it’s ten cars a day,
use it and there are no houses on it.
Nobody had any questions about the

a beer license
.

And the County Manager said

a quarantine on the Animal Shelter
was being lifted and

the next Work Session would be Tuesday
(27 May 2014)
because of the holiday (Memorial Day).

Here’s
the agenda
.
