Tag Archives: Emergency Management Certificate Presentation

A presentation and some rubberstamping @ LCC 2014-08-26



Congratulations to Ashley Tye for being

only the third in the state to attain
a certificate as a professional emergency manager
.

“I was trying to break a record,”
bragged County Chairman Bill Slaughter as several people reminded
him not to skip approving the minutes,
presumably referring to

the previous morning’s three-minute Work Session
.
After the six-minute presentation,
they took less than a minute on each of the remaining items,
except they did find time for an

Executive Session for Attorney-Client Privilege
.
Who are they suing this time?
Crawford Powell had to remind the Chairman not to skip

Citizens Wishing to Be Heard
, but “There are none,”
said the Chairman, with satisfaction.

This time the contractor

had magically finished punchlist for Nottinghill
that
the previous morning the County Engineer said would take a week,
but had not finished the work.
What does this rubberstamp punchlist mean, then?
They approved the

Davidson Road drainage easement quit claim
from the county back to the landowner.

Here’s

the agenda
with links into the videos and a few notes,
followed by a video playlist.

Three minutes, three items @ LCC 2014-08-25



The contractor

hasn’t finished the punchlist for Nottinghill

but the County Engineer wants the Commission to accept that infrastucture anyway.
The

Davidson Road drainage easement quit claim
is from the county back to the landowner.
The

third item
must be for tomorrow evening.
Three minutes total for
only

two items from the agenda
,
but that’s probably a record.
Normally we post videos of each item separately, but this time, why bother?
They vote Tuesday evening at 5:30 PM.

Here’s

the video,
followed by the agenda with a few notes, and links to the individual items inside the one video.

Emergency, Nottinghill, Drainage @ LCC 2014-08-25



Last December

Chairman Slaughter wanted relatives of those selling land for Nottinghill
to come forward and state their names

the day after

he didn’t ask Spectra Energy reps to do that

during their sales pitch for the Sabal Trail fracked methane pipeline?
Well, the

county is now pondering accepting infrastructure for that subdivision
.
Maybe the won’t accept that pipeline, which they could prevent by
passing or enforcing local land use zoning ordinances.
There’s also a

Quit Claim Deed for Drainage Easement on Davidson Road

and an

Emergency Management Certificate Presentation
,
and that’s it, on the lightest agenda in recent memory.
