\n Comment on New Glitter Signs <\/a>
\nand
\n a comment about the yellow signs <\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nperhaps they could actually do something about it. So, when I saw
\nFire Chief Guyton the other evening, I asked him about it.<\/p>\n
\nI guess that makes at least two of us.
\nThen I asked about the complaints about the signs posted on the power
\npoles. He said, yes any sign posted in the right of way is a code
\nviolation. He continued to say that the correct way to report a violation
\nis to call code enforcement. I looked up the number for this on
\n
\nthe Lowndes County Web site <\/a> and found the number to be 229-671-2730.
\nChief Guyton said that after hours and on the weekend, the code enforcement
\noption will ring through to the cell phone of the on duty officer.
\nEmergencies are handled immediately and non-emergencies are generally
\nhandled the next day.<\/p>\n
\nin getting code enforecment procedures for contact and action after
\nhours because of some issues of illegal access to the lakes down
\nin Lake Park. If so, thanks Laura.<\/p>\n
\nadvertising everything from houses, to land, to puppies, to junk?
\nCall Lowndes County code enforcement and give the location of the
\nviolation and they will collect the signs. First offenders can pay a
\n“recovery” fee to get the signs back. Second and following offenses are
\nassessed a fine.<\/p>\n
\n“Got Junk?” call code enforcement with the location and have them
\ncome get it.<\/p>\n
