\r\nThe\r\n\r\ntwo rezonings<\/a> on the Lowndes County Commission agenda for this week\r\nseem to cancel each other out, since one wants to go “back” to Estate Agriculture (E-A), while the other wants to rezone from E-A to R-A,\r\nboth on about ten acres.\r\n

\r\nBecause by an open records request we got the agenda packet<\/a>, we know how much the agenda items costs, even though dollar amounts are not listed in the agenda.\r\n

\r\nThe\r\nRequest to Accept Hamm Estates Dr. into the County Road Inventory for Maintenance<\/a> is listed as “BUDGET IMPACT: N\/A”.\r\nWhat if those subdivision roads need repairs, like Knights Academy Road?\r\n

\r\nThe unusual\r\nDeannexation of Ganas Property by Lake Park<\/a> apparently costs the county nothing.\r\nNot even legal fees?\r\n

\r\n\"[Survey]\"<\/a>\r\n

\r\nThe high-dollar item is $290,000.00\r\nfor health insurance administration<\/a>.\r\nEmployees pay their\r\n\r\n premiums: this is just to administer the program.\r\n

\r\nNext is $50,433.00 for emergency repairs for Culvert Aprons for\r\nKnights Academy Road<\/a>.\r\nWhy exactly is that an emergency?\r\nAt least there are multiple (three) bids.\r\n

\r\nThird most expensive is\r\n$43,245.50 for\r\nClyattstone Rd.-Simpson Ln. ROW Purchases<\/a>.\r\nAnd another\r\n$11,535.00 for\r\nClyattstone Rd.-Simpson Ln. ROW Acquisition<\/a>.\r\nThat’s a total of $54,780.50 for that one road project,\r\nso actually it’s Second most expensive, not Third.\r\nHm, doesn’t the Chairman live on Simpson Lane?\r\n

\r\nThat’s $105,213.50 for road projects.\r\n

\r\nThen there’s\r\n$24,613.44 for a\r\nMicrosoft Server 2019 Data Center License<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nHere is\r\n\r\nthe agenda<\/a>.\r\nSee also the\r\nLAKE videos of the preceding Planning Commission meeting<\/a>.\r\n
