Videos of the 9:15 AM 26 January 2015

Special Called Meeting on Solid Waste Management

by the Lowndes County Commission.
There’s another such meeting
today 2-4 PM.

Both
ADS
and

Deep South Sanitation
spoke Monday morning,
which is a welcome change from

the county suing the one on behalf of the other
.
Rather than give ADS the raise it wants,

let’s not forget there is a termination clause in that exclusive franchise

Videos: Anti-Tethering, Budget, Surplus, Abandonment, Evidence, Workers Comp, Manhole @ LCC 2015-01-26



Mike Allen, former Utilities Director,

no longer works for the county as of last Friday
, according to
County Manager Joe Pritchard.

Dr. Amanda Hall
proposed
an

anti-tethering ordinance
.
Both at yesterday morning’s Work Session of the Lowndes County Commission.

Lowndes County won

an award
for its budget as “a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device.”


All good except: as a communications device?
They’d probably have to publish drafts of it before they passed it for
that to be true.
Unless they mean as in a public telling, not a public hearing.
They won last year, too,

along with 45 other winners in Georgia
,
including Valdosta.
Award, or passing grade?
They’ll

present it tonight

at the Regular Session.

No rezonings, but

surplus computing devices
,
abandonment of

Deloach Road E (CR 95)
,
more on the
never-ending juvenile justice Evidence Based Associates topic,

Workers Compensation Insurance Renewal
,
and

sewer gasses corrode manhole covers
. I wonder how much gases
corrode pipelines?

See the agenda.
Videos are linked below, followed by a video playlist.
