Should it take more than six months to find the county ordinances
that code enforcement needs?
Gretchen Quarterman thanked County Clerk Paige Dukes for
helping her in the “neverending answering to my list of questions.”
She noted that:
The chairman thinks I’m badgering,
but really I’m not.
This body makes ordinances, and
some of the ordinances are on the website.
If you
go to the state website, and find out where all the laws of the state are;
go to the city of Valdosta’s website, and find out where all the laws of Valdosta are.
Go to our website and only find out some of the ordinances.
Paige says she has been diligently working on this
and I absolutely positively believe her.
And I know it’s very complicated
But I really encourage y’all as a body
— I’m not trying to tell you how to do your job —
but to keep the business of our county in order.
Thank you.
She’s been trying to get public access to all the ordinances since December.
The county doesn’t even have a list of all the ordinances.
Should it take more than six months to find the local laws
that code enforcement needs?
Chairman Ashley Paulk and 2 of 3 voting Commissioners, Crawford Powell and Richard Raines,
are businessmen.
Could they run a business when resolutions of the board were nowhere
to be found?

Because of increased irrigation from existing ponds in Southeast Georgia due to saltwater intrusion into groundwater aquifers and moratoriums on well drillings along Georgia’s coast, GSWCC, in cooperation with NRCS, developed the Ponds Program. By helping landowners to construct new and renovate existing ponds for irrigation, the Ponds Program has been able to take advantage of rain harvesting to increase landowners’ irrigation capabilities while simultaneously reducing withdrawal from our aquifers, protecting and improving water quality, capturing sediment to reduce downstream transport, and providing wildlife habitats.
