\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\nNevermind the County Engineer said about the Cat Creek Road bridge,\r\n“All construction will take place during the months of June and July”\r\n(Work Session 2014-03-24<\/a>),\r\nit was closed when Gretchen was headed for this morning’s Work Session,\r\nso she had to go by Moody AFB on Bemiss Road, and was a few minutes late.\r\nThat’s why there’s no video for the first few agenda items,\r\nand the videos are handheld.\r\nThey vote 5:30 PM this evening at the Regular Session,\r\nis the same time as the Planning Commission meeting<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe smaller acreage for the\r\n\r\nreturn of the Hahira Annexation request<\/a>\r\nis because it no longer has frontage on Hagen Bridge Road,\r\nonly on GA 122, thus removing\r\n\r\nthe county’s previous grounds for objection<\/a>\r\n(but it’s also on\r\n\r\nthe Planning Commission agenda<\/a> at 5:30PM today, same time as the Regular Session).\r\nThere is an appointment to the\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n\r\nHospital Authority<\/a>\r\nand two reappointments to the\r\n\r\nshadowy Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority<\/a>\r\nthat approves bonds.\r\nTwo Public Hearings for road abandonments, of\r\n\r\nOld Statenville Road<\/a>\r\nand\r\nof\r\n\r\nExcess Right of Way on James Road and Riverside Road<\/a>.\r\nAll that plus a\r\n\r\nGEMA Sheltering Memorandum of Agreement<\/a>\r\nand a\r\n\r\nbeer license<\/a>,\r\nplus\r\n\r\nPoll Manager Recognition<\/a>.\r\n
