Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) and Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).

In a session of house-cleaning (including literally),
Lowndes County is updating its Revision of the County Occupation Tax Ordinance,
with detailed definitions and tax classifications for every occupation in the county.
The mysterious
Joint Ordinance the
Planning Commission keeps cryptically alluding to
turns out to be about revising the charter of the Planning Commission
to add Remerton, to note Lowndes County now handles GLPC’s budget, and other updates.
The county is applying for a
Georgia Department of Transportation Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant (LMIG) for resurfacing roads, many of them in subdivisions.
And a GDOT grant for
the MIDS on-call bus system.
The county is approving
Approval of the Submittal Resolution for the CDBG-EIP Grant Application for Street Paving and Drainage Improvements to Support the Arglass Project,
with
$750,000 to come from CDBG-EIP funds, and the remainder of $325,591 from the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority.
The county also has
A Resolution to Support Eliminating Through Tractor Trailer Truck Traffic Downtown Valdosta.
And it is fixing a misfiling of the deed for Chitty Park by
transfering it to VLPRA for VLPRA to then transfer back to Lowndes County.
Sewage will be aided by a new
Hart Road Lift Station Pump,
and safety by
Bids for a New Generator for 911.
Plus
Bids for Lowndes County Judicial and Administrative Complex Roof Cleaning.
There are two Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) items, for
the
Solicitor General
and for the
District Attorney, and one
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) item for the Solicitor General.
Received 3:48 PM, Friday, November 8, 2019, “The agenda packet for next week’s meetings is attached. The October 21 & 22, 2019, minutes will be available Monday.”
That Lowndes County Commission in response to a LAKE open records request is now

5:30PM today,
Nature Nate’s parking lot expansion and the never-ending mailbox controversy are back
on the agenda for the Development Authority.
Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority
Tuesday, November 15, 2016, 5:30 pm
Development Authority Conference Room/103 Roosevelt Drive
Monthly Meeting Agenda
The Development Authority is
twice as under budget as it is under revenue,
and they expect tax collections to catch up in January.
National Manufacturing Day had great local and national media coverage.
Fussell Tire
wants to build a warehouse with a non-coforming face towards St. Augustine Road;
the board sent back a look askance.
They’re also
still feuding with the Post Office about mail delivery to Nature Nate, the only tenant in Miller Business Park.
Prospective businesses
want to see communities that
“have their arms wrapped around millenials”,
including bike trails.
Hm, what about
water trails, asked WWALS president John S. Quarterman?
They
lacked a quorum
with Continue reading
Yes, the Industrial Authority is meeting today at 5:30 PM
about BRAT, South Georgia Alliance, and
National Manufacturing Day,
before it meets
tomorrow at 11:00 AM about VSU bonds.
Here’s today’s agenda:

Development Authority Conference Room/103 Roosevelt Drive
Monthly Meeting Agenda
Why a day late and with no agenda?
Update 2016-10-19: Because, according to the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority last night,
the meeting this morning is not them: it’s the South Regional Joint Development Authority (SRJDA).
The newspaper apparently got it wrong.
Community Calendar, VDT page 12a, 12 October 2016,
Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority meeting at 11 a.m.
October 19, Development Authority office, 103 Roosevelt Dr., Valdosta to
discuss refinance of VSU Bonds, election of officers and all other business
which may come before the Board at such meeting.
There’s nothing about that on the Development Authority’s Meeting Schedule web page (which lists a meeting “October 18, 2016” with no agenda Update 2016-10-18: that other agenda is posted now.).
And nothing about it on their facebook page.
Could this meeting be about one or both of Continue reading
Authority under budget, Nature Nate’s ahead of schedule, USPS contentious, manufacturing week, and WWALS water trails: all packed into a brief meeting last Tuesday of the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority.
CPA Tom Davis said the Development Authority is
under budget but tax collection is also slow, with no new funds expected until January.
Existing Industry Coordinator Stan Crance announced that
Nature Nate’s is beyond projections, now up to 25 jobs and $3 million capital investment and needs more parking.
They’d also like to move their postal mail delivery from a downtown post office box to a local mailbox.
But Nature Nate’s is the only tenant of Miller Business Park,
and USPS requires central box units for any business park.
This would require modifying the roundabout “just in case any other businesses were to locate out there”.
Some Development Authority board members found this USPS requirement to be a contentious situation, “worse than Continue reading
It’s again 5:30 today. The day before yesterday
they changed it to noon,
and yesterday
they changed it back to 5:30 PM,
but they didn’t fix that in
the online agenda.
