A month ago, nobody on the County Commission or staff
knew how much the extra equipment might cost for the
three Sheriff’s pursuit vehicles,
but they awarded the bid to Langdale Ford anyway.
The automobile dealer on the Commission did have some computations
on why the higher bid might be more cost-effective.
“We have the bids in the room” said the County Engineer,
recommending awarding $1,188,500 to the Scruggs Company
for
Graded Aggregate Base, Curb-and-Gutter and Asphalt.
He also noted “they will come in and place the curb and gutter”.
The County Engineer also announced
flashing and then regular traffic lights
at Tillman Crossing on Old US 41 North.
Two citizens talked about dog problems: three dogs perhaps without shelter and barking dogs and arson.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall is holding a Town Hall December 15th.
Here’s the agenda. See also the LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session. Below are links to each of the videos of the Regular Session, followed by a video playlist. Meanwhile, they already met again this morning and will vote again Tuesday evening.
