This was a very long meeting and three of the cases were tabled to a future meeting:

APP-2018-03 — Federal Heath & Advantage Permits,

VAR-2018-09 — Indo American Cultural Society of South,
and because the Candidates Forum
was schedule in the same room, the very long

AAD-2018-01 — Cothron (5310 Tucker Road, Valdosta).

Three items were approved unanimously:

VAR-2018-08 — Graham (4544 Loch Laurel Road, Valdosta),

VAR-2018-10 — Loch Laurel Club (Loch Laurel Road, Valdosta),

and
VAR-2018-12 — Ramos (2703 Highway 41 South, Valdosta),
while

Videos: 3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-08



They

appointed Ben Copeland to the Hospital Authority.
More later on why they seem to be doing it backwards.
Nobody spoke in the

Public Hearing for abandonment of Excession RoW off Payton Place,
so they abandoned it and

quit-claimed it to the adjoining landowner.
Then they determined to hold a Public Hearing to

abandon unopened RoW of Avenue I,
although there was an ownership question from Commissioner Clay Griner,
which County Engineer Mike Fletcher answered.
They approved in this public meeting

a list of three elected officals using county-issued credit cards,
but they did not reveal to the public who was on the list.
The County Manager had

no report
and there were

no citizens wishing to be heard
so they adjourned.

Here are links to each LAKE video of the Tuesday 8 November 2016 Regular Session, with a few notes, followed by
a video playlist.

3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-07

On this morning’s

Work Session agenda,
Lowndes County is replacing 3 of its 4 Hospital Authority board members.
Of those, 2 of 3 are on the Hospital Foundation board, so how much change is this?
And why does the Lowndes County Commission seem to be doing this appointment backward to the way Georgia law requires?



These appointments are especially interesting after the
Valdosta City Council’s call for Hospital Authority resignations
back in September.
The city’s list of Authority board members
is out of date, still listing Continue reading →

18-wheeler on Hambrick Road, and No Trucks Over 10 Wheels sign



This is what Gretchen meant when she
told the Lowndes County Commission
trucks too big use Hambrick Road as a short cut,
when GA 122 is 0.4 miles farther up Cat Creek Road.

You can see who owns this particular truck, but it’s far from the only one.
And in case you had any doubt where this is, Continue reading →
