Videos: 3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-08
They
appointed Ben Copeland to the Hospital Authority.
More later on why they seem to be doing it backwards.
Nobody spoke in the
Public Hearing for abandonment of Excession RoW off Payton Place,
so they abandoned it and
quit-claimed it to the adjoining landowner.
Then they determined to hold a Public Hearing to
abandon unopened RoW of Avenue I,
although there was an ownership question from Commissioner Clay Griner,
which County Engineer Mike Fletcher answered.
They approved in this public meeting
a list of three elected officals using county-issued credit cards,
but they did not reveal to the public who was on the list.
The County Manager had
no report
and there were
no citizens wishing to be heard
so they adjourned.

Videos: 3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-07
Discussion at Monday morning’s Work Session of the
Hospital Authority appointment clarified that it’s just for one opening,
but didn’t explain why they seem to be doing it
backwards to what Georgia law says.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall asked for resumes for the applicants.
The Commissioners vote tonight at 5:30 PM.
New intern, Hampton Rawlinson(sp?), working with Finance and Clerk. Finance reported on credit cards for elected officials. Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker stumped County Engineer Mike Fletcher. County Manager Joe Pritchard had no report.

3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-07
On this morning’s Work Session agenda, Lowndes County is replacing 3 of its 4 Hospital Authority board members. Of those, 2 of 3 are on the Hospital Foundation board, so how much change is this? And why does the Lowndes County Commission seem to be doing this appointment backward to the way Georgia law requires?
These appointments are especially interesting after the
Valdosta City Council’s call for Hospital Authority resignations
back in September.
The city’s list of Authority board members
is out of date, still listing Continue reading

327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor
Videos: Water, VSU bonds, 3 road abandonments, 1 widening, MIDS bus, Comprehensive Plan @ LCC 2016-10-11
Two weeks ago,
County Manager Joe Pritchard announced that
Commissioner Joyce Evans is now serving as Vice Chairman,
yes, the
resolution to approve the VSU bonds
was requested by the
South Regional Joint Development Authority (SRJDA),
and
John Stevens is the new VDT reporter.
Citizen Shirley Moore said she’d like a connection to
county water and sewer.
They tabled the
Comprehensive Plan update, apparently because the Commissioners wanted to
“dig into it deeper”.
The rest was mostly approving what they already discussed the previous morning. They meet again Monday morning.
Below are links to each LAKE video with a few notes, followed by a video playlist.

Monthly Meeting Agenda
Videos: Art, hurricane, engineering reports, VSU bonds, 3 road abandonments, 1 widening, MIDS bus, Comprehensive Plan @ LCC 2016-10-10
The Sabal Trail fracked methane pipeline and others already in the county
came up in the
Comprehensive Plan approval discussion, as you can see in these
LAKE Videos from Monday morning; they vote tonight 5:30 PM.
Stephen Spradley and Georgia Forestry were still helping after Hurricane Matthew, but Ashley Tye reported on evacuees, Chad McLeod reported on engineering projects including the Naylor Boat Ramp at the Alapaha River, and Angela Crance reported on an art district; actually Buddy Boswell did that.
They also heard about a self storage rezoning, three road abandonments, a road widening, the annual MIDS bus service renewal, and a county resolution about bonds for another private LLC by the South Regional Joint Development Authority (SRJDA), different from the one with the public hearing October 21st at a private law firm. What does the resolution say? It’s not in the documents with the agenda.
