They meet again today. Here are videos of when they voted last, after apparently already deciding before the meeting how they would vote, plus one citizen spoke for several in the audience who want their road paved (Black Road near Naylor), even though the Chairman said “we kind of minimize that dialog”. County Manager Joe Pritchard again reminded of the Annual 9/11 Memorial Service to be held 10AM Friday at Historic Courthouse,

Indeed they did not vote on the Roundabout Support. There was a bit of discussion on the water main to Lowndes Middle School to fend off suspected Valdosta annexation. Everything else they breezed through as fast as they could move, second, and unanimously vote, including the church rezoning and the two lift station pumps, on Bevel Creek and Coleman Road.

• 6.a. South Perimeter Road Utility Extension

  Video. County Engineer Mike Fletcher said they picked Alternate 1 from the lift station on Copeland Road down to the big box culvert on Perimeter Road and Alternate 2 from there to connect to existing services. “And the contracts are in the room.”

  Commissioner Demarcus Marshall wanted to know: “No residents will be forced to attach to county water?” That would be unlike the infamous James Road boondoggle for a mega-mall that never happened for which James Road was widened and residents were forced to pay to connect to county services.

  Answer: no, but any new subdivisions will be required to, and if their well or septic were to go out, they would have to.
