Videos: Deep South Sanitation litigation resolution, Animals, MAZ, Water, School @ LCC 2015-06-09



Not on the agenda for the 9 June 2015 Regular Session:

settlement agreement
for the county’s unnecessary
lawsuit against Deep South Sanitation.
Commissioners had no questions, but I have two:

  1. how much did the county spend on the lawsuit?
  2. how much did the county end up paying DSS?

Also unscheduled:

Recognition of Leadership Lowndes Attendees
.

Citizen

Billy Rowland

had some comments about road grading and wondered how Animal Control
could come take his dog from his posted property yet not do anything
when he reported barking dogs.

They approved a Scruggs Co. contract for

Paving on Coppage Road
, which includes curb and gutter to
save some of the tree canopy.
They approved a

Bid for Bemiss Road Mowing

a

Bid for a Zero-Turn Mower for the Public Works Department
from Nashville Tractor.
They
approved the

Bid for a Fire Pumper for Lowndes County Fire Rescue

LCSO Patrol Car Laptops Lease Purchase

Lowndes Middle School Utility Service
from Valdosta utilities.

Through a LAKE open records request, now

you can see

the complicated

Moody Activity Zones

Text Amendments to the Unified Land Development Code,
which affect everything from animals to retirement homes.
In these LAKE videos you can see the Lowndes County Commission
consider that and other matters at their Work Session of Monday 8 June 2015,
including

Lowndes Middle School Utility Service from the City of Valdosta
,
two water well and septic rezonings on
Mt. Zion Rd
and
Touchton Rd,
and
water and sewer for 24 acres of The Orchard at Stone Creek, Tillman Crossing Rd.
Plus
Utility Relocation for the Replacement of Franks Creek Bridge on Morven Road
and
many bids, including for
Paving on Coppage Road;
staff recommends the Scruggs bid.

County Manager Joe Pritchard noted

many of the bids were
related to SPLOST in an effort
“to get those projects up and running as quickly as possible”.

Here’s the
agenda.

meeting that considered these rezonings and the MAZ. Continue reading

Water, septic, sewer, utilties, Lowndes Middle School @ LCC 2015-06-08

What are these complicated
Moody Activity Zoning Districts amendments to the land development code that involve many maps and tables that
county staff are not showing the public, even though
one of the stated reasons is residential dwellings and family ties land divisions?


300x346 2379 Copeland Road, Parcel 0165 012, in Lowndes Middle School, by John S. Quarterman, 8 June 2015

What has Lowndes Middle School done for water and sewer until now,
when

it’s finally asking to connect
to Valdosta utilities because
Lowndes County utilities are too far away?
Plus two water well and septic rezonings on
Mt. Zion Rd
and
Touchton Rd,
and
water and sewer for 24 acres of The Orchard at Stone Creek, Tillman Crossing Rd.
And
Utility Relocation for the Replacement of Franks Creek Bridge on Morven Road.

Many bids, including for
Paving on Coppage Road;
staff recommends the Scruggs bid.

Here’s the
agenda,
which this time (unlike last) at least does have the one- or two-page
agenda item sheets, but is still lacking the rest of the board packet.
