Update 2024-10-17: Videos: Millage Public Hearing @ LCC 2024-10-15.
Only in the Work Session this morning, and if you weren’t there, only in these LAKE videos:
- 8.a. Reports – Georgia Forestry Presentation (Work Session) by Chief Ranger Kenneth M. Wells
- 8.b. Reports – EMA Director Ashley Tye on Hurricane Helene
Collage @ LCC Regular 14 October 2024
In regular items, County Planner JD Dillard recommended tabling the ULDC Text Amendments until stakeholders have more time to comment. He referred to the copy Commissioners had in their packet. We the taxpayers and voters do not have a copy.
He also recommended tabling 5.b. REZ-2024-15 Loch Laurel – Carroll Ulmer until the Planning Commission can review it. Which indicates that GLPC did not meet last month, even though there was no announcement that it had been cancelled.
Finance Director Stephanie Black said there would be a Millage Public Hearing at 5PM tomorrow, Tuesday, October 15, before the 5:30 PM Regular Session.
There was discussion in 7.a. Sprayfield Expansion Phase I. The current spray field is being increased by about 50% of its capacity (from 2 to 3 million gallons per day). There is always talk of some time in the future building a Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Utilities Director Steve Stalvey said the 7.b. Grove Pointe Nelson Hill Watermain Interconnection would run “from the southwest corner of Nelson Hill to the northeast corner of Hatfield Circle,” which is the northeast corner of Grove Pointe.

The blue lines are water mains and the green lines are sewage mains.
Also, the wiggly blue lines are creeks and the Withlacoochee River bottom right.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman, followed by a LAKE video playlist.
The Georgia Forestry report is on the LAKE website, and images are included below.

We have no board packet, because I didn’t anticipate they would reschedule the canceled meetings one week later and I didn’t file an open records request.
Of course, if the county simply put its board packets on its own website, as many counties smaller and larger in Georgia and Florida have been doing for years, we wouldn’t have to file such a request.
