Videos: Hurricane Irma, Register rezoning, Utility Authority @ LCC 2017-09-26

23 minutes last night to approve 3:2 with many conditions rezoning the

6c. REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate,
with no shouting afterwards like there was at at the previous evening’s Planning Commission meeting,
yet a lot of grumbling at the Lowndes County Commission Regular Session,
especially since they seem to have forgotten the greenspace condition.


Biggest crowd in a long time, REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate

I would like to commend the Commission for the amount and depth of discussion in this meeting, especially in the unscheduled

10. Commission Comments and Recognitions and Meeting Adjournment, which was mostly about Clay Griner’s idea of having
a county-wide utility authority including all the cities in the county.
Update 2017-10-20: moved the rest of this utility authority commentary down to the video item below.

Also not on the agenda was

Chairman Slaughter comments on community response to Hurricane Irma
(which were mostly about county staff; well-deserved especially for Ashley Tye) and

Georgia Power Representative recognizes county hurricane response.

While it’s great that Georgia Power came to compliment the county,
does that electric utility rep. reside in or pay property taxes in Lowndes County, and why was he not required to state his name and address?
Ditto the software salesman for Continue reading →

HEAT on the agenda @ LCC 2017-09-25

This morning, 8:30 AM, all of the items from
the previous cancelled meeting
are back on
the agenda, for voting Tuesday 5:30 PM.
Plus four more:

  1. For Consideration:

    1. Addendum to the Withlacoochee Flood Inundation Mapping Project
    2. USGS Funding Agreement for Hwy 122 Stream Gauge
    3. Public Safety Information Technology Purchase
    4. High Enforcement of Aggressive Traffic (HEAT), Document:

      HISTORY, FACTS, AND ISSUES: The certified Lowndes County fatality
      rate: 2006-14, 2007-14, 2008~19, 2009-16, 2010-18, 2011-15,
      2012-11, 2013-7, 2014-14, 2015-19, 2016-20. Any traffic
      fatality in Lowndes County is too many. For numerous years, the
      county has been plagued with an unacceptable fatality rate.
      Consistently for ten years between 2006 and 2016 we suffered with as
      much as nineteen people dying annually in crashes. In April 2012 the
      Sheriff created the SPEED team which joined forces with the Valdosta
      Police HEAT team. Together both agencies diligently fought to reduce
      the fatality rate. In 2013, Lowndes County recorded an unprecedented
      lowest rate of the decade with seven fatalities.
