\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nCommission and staff followed up on\r\n\r\nsafety on Val Del Road<\/a> that\r\n\r\nJohn Page brought up in Citizens Wishing to Be Heard\r\na month ago<\/a>.\r\n\r\nAppointed board and agency openings<\/a>: they have a list, but you can’t see it,\r\nfor the Bad Dog Board or any other.\r\n\r\nThe Chairman had “support”<\/a> for a referendum to appoint Tax Assessors,\r\nalthough “this is not a vote”.\r\n\r\nAbout Internet access<\/a>,\r\nCounty Manager Joe Pritchard discussed a map of a “skeletal framework”\r\nof city and county, VSU, SGMC, Georgia Military College, Wiregrass Technical\r\nCollege, “the outlying cities”, as well as the industrial parks,\r\nfor DSL, cable modems, etc.\r\nThis discussion has come a long way in the year since\r\nChairman Bill Slaughter said “We have broadband”<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThey seem to want the county to be\r\n\r\n an\r\nInland Port<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThey had a whole item about\r\n\r\nMoody Air Force Base<\/a>,\r\nincluding Moody’s concern about lack of broadband service.\r\nLater, Demarcus Marshall noted<\/a> that in his\r\n\r\nTown Hall meeting<\/a>\r\npeople wanted help for military veterans, so he wanted that\r\n\r\nadded to the goals<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nAfter the\r\n\r\nCounty Manager called for a break after financial background<\/a>,\r\nthe Commissioners proceeded to\r\n\r\ndiscuss goals without him<\/a>.\r\nThe Chairman’s first goal was Solid Waste, but he was very specific about what he wanted.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
