The Chairman held forth about Leadership Lowndes

at the end of the meeting
.
It’s like he’s not running again and is getting the most out of his time up there.

Commissioner Clay Griner was not present.

Videos: Appointments to KLVB, ZBOA, Library board, three rezonings @ LCC 2019-07-08

Yesterday morning’s Work Session took eleven minutes.
They vote this evening.

The three rezoning cases took the longest, simply due to time for Planning Technician Molly Stevenson to read them out.
Only one Commissioner had one questions on one of them.
Longest at 2 and a half minutes was
6c. REZ-2019-11 Stewart, 4151 Stewart Circle R-1 to C-H
which is for establishing a new metal working business with rail access.
Second at almost two minutes was

6a. REZ-2019-09 Mark Courson, 5761 Long Pond Rd. R-1 to R-10
,
which was for subdividing into two lots; this one had the quesion.
Third at a minute and a half was

6b. REZ-2019-10 Ballard, Madison Hwy E-A to C-C and R-A

for a boat repair service and a single residence.

Update 2019-07-09: Videos.

On

the Lowndes County Commission agenda

for Monday and Tuesday, appointments to three boards, three rezonings,
and a mystery agreement.

They have no candidates to replace Malinda Taylor
on the
Lowndes County Library Board.
Paul Alvarado and John McCall want to be reappointed
to the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals.
Gregory Powell apparently does not want to be reappointed,
and Victoria O’Steen and Kelisa Brown have applied for
Keep Lowndes Valdosta Beautiful (KLVB).

The

rezoning cases
are three from
the preceding Planning Commission meeting
; GLPC unanimously recommended approval of all three.

The mystery
Agreement with Cornerstone
is, according to the agenda sheet, a $96,000 ($8,000 / month) item:

As a part of Lowndes County’s ongoing support of Moody Air Force Base, the
services of Cornerstone Government Affairs, Inc. are being recommended. In addition to assistance with
matters related to the Department of Defense, Continue reading

Valdosta * 2, Remerton, Lowndes County * 3 @ GLPC 2019-06-24

Tonight at the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission,
presumably

REZ-2019-08 Knudson & Son Outdoor Activities

will be skipped, since last month
the Lowndes County Commission
already decided that case,
and ZBOA denied most of the applicants’ requested variances.

Videos: fire truck, radios and phones, Hahira annexation, prison details @ LCC 2018-08-14

The most exciting thing last month was the

new fire truck
, on display outside,
seen here driving off with its lights flashing:


Lights flashing, Fire Truck


See

LAKE video
.

This was the most recent Regular Session, because the Lowndes County Commission meetings for the end of August were cancelled.

County Manager Joe Pritchard again said he wanted

higher staff approval limits
for items in the budget.

There was some question about campaign contributions on the

Hahira rezoning and annexation
; they didn’t know, but they approved it anyway.
The longest discussion was on the

Intrado phone system
,
which will have Lowndes County be the first south of Atlanta with text to 911.
A suprising number of and variety of Commissioner questions on

the 911 radios
.
The only question on the three utilities items was

whether they were in the budget
; they are.
As usual, they rubberstamped

the three Valdosta State Prison work details
,
with the only question being whether they were getting enough for the money.
A: Yes, because prisoners work cheap.

Videos: Surprise Hahira annexation items @ LCC 2018-08-13

County Manager Joe Pritchard

said he had two new agenda items
for tomorrow night
, both to do with a proposed annexation by Hahira.
County Chairman Bill Slaughter said he atteneded the recent Hahira
City Council meeting where that annexation was discussed,
which was last Thursday, so I don’t follow why this wasn’t on the
Lowndes County Commission agenda Friday with all the other items.
