Videos: Emergency road repair bids! Appointments: Library Board, Development Authority, millage @ LCC 2017-08-22



The added agenda item

6e. Emergency Repairs to Rocky Ford Road
got a couple of bids (unusual procedure; different from their
usual no-bid emergencies) passed.
The Chamber sent

Gary Wisenbaker to speak in Citizens Wishing to Be Heard
to ask for (after a very long preamble by John Page)
apparently money from GDOT for a long list (in a letter the taxpayers
did not get to see) of
transportation projects to help “the business community”,
apparently including the truck bypass.

They only appointed six of the seven members of the

Development Authority of Lowndes County,
although a Commissioner did ask about that.
It’s also curious they said all the terms expired right then,
since the Wayback machine has a snapshot of 4 April 2017, which shows three expiring in June 2017 and four already
expired in December 2016.
Apparently they just didn’t bother to appoint anybody to the four slots
that expired in December 2016 until eight months later,
and then they didn’t appoint anybody to one of the 2017 slots.

Videos: Bids for emergency road repair! Appointments: Library Board, Development Authority, millage @ LCC 2017-08-21



Bids for an emergency repair!
This could be a first, instead of their usual sole source approve-it-right now method.
See

the County Manager’s Report, in which County Engineer Mike Fletcher
describes bids incoming from both Scruggs and Reames for temporary
repair to Rocky Ford Road.

Below are links to each LAKE video of yesterday morning’s Work Session with a few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist.

Appointments: Library Board, Development Authority, millage, cameras @ LCC 2017-08-21

Maybe the county would have enough applicants their Work Session,
Monday morning at 8:30 AM,
if they advertised for applicants for open board seats,
such as on the Development Authority of Lowndes County,
And if they posted the application sheets for the applicants they did get,
such as for the Lowndes County Library Board,
we’d have some idea of who they are.
They could even say whether the millage is going up or down.

According to the

agenda sheet
for the appointment to the
Lowndes County Library Board,

There is a vacant seat on the Lowndes County Library Board. The
Board of Trustees of the South Georgia Regional Library System
respectfully requests the appointment of Mr. Gene Toffolo to fill the
vacant seat.

They don’t say who applicant Gene Toffolo is.
According to the South Georgia Regional Library
he’s a 2016 Friends of the Library Board member:




Front Left to Right: Kay Scott, Janet Toffolo, Mary Helen Watson (President), Merrilee Casady,
Sarah Smart (Vice President), Robert DeVan (Treasurer)

Back Left to Right: Gene Toffolo, Patricia Marks, Riley Howard, Karl Osmus, John Swiderski (Secretary)

The county’s agenda and agenda sheet for the Lowndes County Library Board
don’t say whose seat expired or maybe somebody resigned.
The county’s

web page for this board
is no more helpful, listing these members and expirations,
none of which expires in 2017: Continue reading →
