\r\nMost of the $2 million acknowledged in the board packet is for fire and rescue,\r\nwhich seems good to me.\r\n

\r\nIn a rare move, apparently negotiations fell through with a landowner for\r\nland for utilities, so the county has condemned it and is taking it for a nominal fee:\r\nApprove Condemning Right of Way and Drainage Easement for Hightower Road – Cooper Road TSPLOST Paving Project<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nThe board packet, obtained in response to a LAKE open records request,\r\nis\r\n\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\nHere is \r\nthe agenda<\/a>:\r\n
