\nVideos: VLDA appointment, VAWA Grant, Cross Connection Control Plan, Jail Addition, Code Red, 911 addition @ LCC Work 2023-11-13<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nAt the Lowndes County Commission meeting this week,
\nJohn Crawford wants to be reappointed to the Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authorty; it’s a joint appointment with Valdosta, and the City will be notified after the County vote.<\/p>\n

\n
\n\"[Agenda]\"<\/a>
\n
Agenda<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

\nThe public does not know what was bid on for the 911 Center addition,
\nbeyond “a new storage building, renovation of four (4) offices, and resurfacing of the existing parking lot.”
\nThe Finance Department’s Bid Postings links to nothing<\/a> for this item except
\na one-page PDF entitled “SECTION A INVITATION FOR BID”<\/a>,
\nwhich says, “Bidding documents may be obtained through Studio 8 Design, LLC in Valdosta, GA, 229-244-1188, email: sflythe@s8darchitects.com.”<\/p>\n

\nWe do know it will cost $192,780.00.<\/p>\n

\nWe don’t even know how much the jail addition will cost;
\napparently the vote before the Commission is to hire a Construction Manager,
\nbut we don’t know how much that will cost, either.<\/p>\n

\nCosts are known for the Code Red renewal (same as last year)
\nand for the VAWA Grant match (less than last time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\nCost<\/th>\n\nWhat<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
$192,780.00<\/td>\nLowndes County 911 Bids<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
$31,500.00<\/td>\nCode Red Service Agreement Renewal<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
$25,669.00<\/td>\nApproval of Solicitor General\u2019s VAWA Competitive Grant Application for 2024<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
$249,949.00<\/td>\nTotal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

\nThere are no rezonings this week, because no county rezonings were proposed at the preceding Planning Commission meeting.<\/p>\n

\nHere is the agenda<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nWe do not have the board packet yet, because I neglected to file an open records request for it, which I have now done.
\nWhy that should be necessary remains mysterious,
\nsince many other counties larger and smaller in Georgia and Florida have
\nbeen posting their board packets on their own websites for years.<\/p>\n
