Greenlight Enhanced Decorative Lighting, Fire, Broadband, Courthouse, other Bids @ LCC Packet 2022-11-07

Two presentations the Lowndes County Commission will hear tomorrow morning: on Broadband and Fire Prevention. That’s at the Work Session. Tomorrow evening there will be a Proclamation on Operation Greenlight, whatever that is.

Most of the board packet consists of details on Enhanced and Basic Decorative Lighting Districts and bids for aspects of renovation of the historic Lowndes County Courthouse.

There are also items on repairing lightning damage to the Public Safety Radio System, a grant acceptance, and a service provider.

Cost What
$313,282.00Partial Renovation to the Second Floor – Administration Building
$274,483.43Historic Lowndes County Courthouse Rehabilitation and Restoration – Furniture
$86,507.85 Emergency Repairs for the Public Safety Radio System due to Lightning Damage
$50,000.00Acceptance of FY 2023 Delinquency Prevention Grant
$-50,000.00Selection of Provider for Implementation of Strengthening Families Program
$674,273.28Total

There’s a negative number in there because at least one of those items gets repaid from a grant. If the county prepared a table like the above, they could account for that.

Here is the agenda. The board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is on the LAKE website.
