Videos: Law, radio, solid waste, busses, and qualifying fees @ LCC 2015-11-10



A month ago, nobody on the County Commission or staff
knew how much the extra equipment might cost for the

three Sheriff’s pursuit vehicles,
but they awarded the bid to Langdale Ford anyway.
The automobile dealer on the Commission did have some computations
on why the higher bid might be more cost-effective.
“We have the bids in the room” said the County Engineer,
recommending awarding $1,188,500 to the Scruggs Company
for

Graded Aggregate Base, Curb-and-Gutter and Asphalt.
He also noted “they will come in and place the curb and gutter”.
The County Engineer also announced

flashing and then regular traffic lights
at Tillman Crossing on Old US 41 North.

Two citizens talked about dog problems:

three dogs perhaps without shelter
and

barking dogs and arson.

Commissioner Demarcus Marshall

is holding a Town Hall December 15th.

Here’s

the agenda.

Meanwhile, they already met again this morning
and will vote again Tuesday evening. Continue reading →

The

bid on three pursuit vehicles for the Sheriff


got a question from Commissioner Scottie Orenstein about maintenance costs for which

a staffer from Public Works just happened to be available
to answer.
Result: not the low bid.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall asked if they were going to pay $7,000 more per vehicle ongoing.
Answer from County Manager Joe Pritchard: case by case.
This was Monday morning 8:30 AM.
They vote this evening (Tuesday) at 5:30 PM.

There was also a

report from County Engineer Mike Fletcher about coordination with
the railroad about traffic crossing from Old US 41 N.

Here’s

the agenda.

Videos: Hahira rezoning and annexation, two Valdosta CUP @ GLPC 2014-04-28



Tabled at applicant’s request:
the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation;
see also the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014.
The proponents
to establish a recycling center
didn’t show up to answer questions, and due to lack of information
(noise, hours, odors, vermin, expansion, etc.), GLPC unanimously voted to recommend tabling.
GLPC voted to recommend approval with selected conditions for
Langdale Ford’s
minor automotive repair facility.

Remember, Lowndes County answered an open records request for the agenda

47 hours after this Planning Commission meeting started.
Here’s

the actual agenda by other means.

One Hahira rezoning and annexation and Two Valdosta Conditional Use Permits @ GLPC 2014-04-28



It seems unlikely the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation
will go anywhere tonight, due to the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014,
even though that may be based on a misunderstanding.
Hm, somebody wants
to establish a recycling center.
And Langdale Ford wants
to establish a minor automotive repair facility.

Here’s the agenda, which arrived as a PDF actually convertable to text!
