a go-between with Moody AFB,
plus

UPSes for county radio sites.

They’ll also

appoint Thomas Lovett to the South Georgia Regional Library Board,
rename a road, and accept some subdivision roads.

Video has appeared on lowndescounty.com of the May 12, 2020 Regular Session,
and the minutes.
It is 11:48 long, of which 10:48 was actual business.
The video reveals

there is a new County Planner,
J.D. Dillard.
We also learn from the video (but not from the minutes)
the extent of the Old US 41 widening.

LOWNDES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

PROPOSED AGENDA

REGULAR SESSION, TUESDAY, May 12, 2020, 5:30 p.m.

327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor


*To comply with the guidelines of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in regard to the Coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic and social distancing, face coverings (masks) are required for all meeting participants.

  1. Call to Order

    At 0 minutes.

Packet: Juvenile Justice, TIA Old US 41, Two Oaks at Bemiss, Hazard Mitigation @ LCC 2020-05-12

Update 2020-06-05: Lowndes County video has appeared, revealing several things not in the minutes.

LAKE did not video the May 12, 2020, Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission, due to pandemic.
There was no telephone dial-in and no facebook live.
The last Lowndes County Commission video of its own meeting was February 25, 2020.
So the only record will be the Minutes, which we may or may not see before their next meeting, which is this Tuesday.

We get a location map but no indication of future county tax-paid costs of upkeep for the
infrastructure for Two Oaks at Bemiss.

Yet we get evaluations by three different people of three proposals for the
Lowndes County Hazard Mitigation RFP; winning bid $20,000.

The packet contains only the agenda sheet and a signature page for a resolution for the GDOT TIA Old US 41 Widening;
the actual Resolution is missing. Continue reading →

Juvenile Justice, TIA Old US 41, Two Oaks at Bemiss, Hazard Mitigation @ LCC 2020-05-12

Update 2020-06-05: Lowndes County video has appeared, revealing several things not in the minutes.

Update 2020-05-23:
Packet: Juvenile Justice, TIA Old US 41, Two Oaks at Bemiss, Hazard Mitigation @ LCC 2020-05-12.
There are no videos.

The lightest agenda for Tuesday’s Lowndes County Commission Regular Session that I’ve seen in a while will be voted on Tuesday
in the Commission Chambers with masks.
No teleconference.
Presumably the County will be videoing and putting that on YouTube,
as they usually do with Regular Sessions.
There is no Work Session.

Also less expensive than most Commission meetings:

Cost What
$330,854 CJCC Funding FY 2021 Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Application Regular Session DATE OF MEETING: May 12, 2020
$20,000.00 FEMA Lowndes County Hazard Mitigation Request for Proposal Regular Session DATE OF MEETING: May 12, 2020
$350,854 Total

Even on the least expensive item this time,
Lowndes County Hazard Mitigation Request for Proposal,
“Lowndes County recently requested pricing proposals from qualified contractors…”
The RFP is on the county’s website.

Unlike the more expensive stream monitoring project of last month’s meeting, for which there was no RFP and no bids.

This item has no cost cited, but will cost the taxpayers for road maintenance in the future:
Adopt Resolution accepting Infrastructure for Two Oaks at Bemiss.

All the

agenda sheet says for where is “located on Case Point, off Old Pine Road.”
I’m guessing that includes Continue reading →
