An appointment, a road abandonment, three rezonings, and a bunch of for considerations: they did take longer than five minutes. Here are videos of the entire Tuesday 8 May 2012 Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission. Here’s the agenda. Here are videos of the previous morning’s work session.

They unanimously reappointed four people to the Lowndes County Development Authority. They held a public hearing about abandoning part of an unopened right of way off US 41 South. Nobody spoke either for or against, and they approved the abandonment unanimously.

They heard several items we saw discussed at much more length in the GLPC 30 April videos.

• REZ-2012-05 Gloria Dave, 4896 Bethany Drive, Hahira, R-A to R-1, Well & Septic, ~3.8 acres
  Gloria Dave asked for a rezoning so her property could be put in her name after her husband died. The Commission unanimously voted to rezone her property from R-A to R1 as she requested.
• REZ-2012-06 Ralph Hart, Whitewater Road & Clyattville Lake Park Road, Valdosta, R-A to R-1, County Water & Septic, ~3 acres
  Unanimous approval.
• REZ-2012-07 McNeal Property, McNeal Road E-A to R-A, Well & Septic, 25 acres
  The first speaker against from the GLPC 30 April meeting amplified what she said there. David Smith spoke for. Unanimous approval with the only-4-lot condition from GLPC.

They zipped through everything else on the agenda, approving everything unanimously, including a no-bid item for $60,354.32 to Scruggs Company. There was some discussion about the need for a contract with an audit firm they hadn’t used for three years. They tabled that one, unanimously, of course.

One citizen spoke, me, about Internet speed and access in Lowndes County as necessary for knowledge-based jobs and businesses.
