Video of 6 minute meeting @ LCC 2012-10-22


Here’s a single video of this morning’s entire Lowndes County Commission
Work Session.
The railroad item was neither of the ones
on which I was speculating.
The animal shelter wants a 24 hour “cooling-off period” with a submitted
animal kept at home before “evaluation” by the shelter.
The Tax Commissioner wants to refund some taxes they apparently accidentally
overcharged.
The Fire Chief has bids for equipment for the new fire truck.
And there’s going to be an animal health fair.
They vote tomorrow evening at 5PM.

Here’s

the video,

followed by

the agenda,

with links to the relevant parts of the video,
and a few notes.

Rairoad, animals, taxes, and a fire truck @ LCC 2012-10-22

Five minutes?
Or will they discuss any of the four items on
the agenda
for Monday morning’s Work Session?

What’s the CSX project?

CSX in Lowndes County

Is it this item from

the T-SPLOST constrained project list
?

RC11-000071 Construction of St Augustine Road Overpass

That overpass went

from $12,000,000 to $14,627,933.04 during the T-SPLOST selection process.

On the ground down there on St. Augustine Road
it sure looks like people are preparing for an overpass.
Has the county found some non-T-SPLOST way to fund that railroad overpass?

Since it’s CSX, I’d guess it’s not

this other T-SPLOST project:

RC11-000077 Georgia and Florida Railway (GFRR) — Valdosta to Willacoochee Rehabilitation

The Commission could just post the proposed agreement along with the agenda,
and then we’d all know.
