They said almost nothing last month about
Project Max, so we don’t know for sure if for example it is really a glass container company.
They meet again tonight. Actually, that one is cancelled; they meet next April 19th.
At the end, Gretchen
spoke about:

Gretchen reports it was congenial but poorly attended, presumably
because there are no local political races undecided that affect Hahira:
both County Commission Districts 2 and 5 are already done,
and there’s no county Chairman or Sheriff race, and no Hahira city races
this year.
The only Hahira City Council member there was Terry Benjamin,
although Police Chief Terry Davis and City Manager Jonathan Sumner were there,
plus Wayne Bullard, who according to
Hahira’s website is still Mayor.
Many more events upcoming in the Hahira Honeybee Festival. Continue reading
Once again time for the Hahira Honeybee Festival, 29 September through 4 October 2014. Starting this morning with the “Kick-Off Breakfast 7-9 a.m. Community Center- Randall St. Everyone Welcome”
This festival is not run by the City of Hahira, rather by Hahira Honeybee Festival, Inc., registered agent Melba Locher of Shiloh Road, Helen Petitjean Secretary, Melba Locher CFO, Carol Jacobs CEO, according to the Georgia Secretary of State.
According to the Festival’s history page:
The Hahira Honeybee Festival was st
arted in 1981 by Mamie Sorrell and Adeline Landrum. These two ladies loved Hahira and had a vision “to liven up city” with a weekend of Arts & crafts , Entertainment, and a parade. The weekend festival has grown into a week long extravaganza. The festival is now known as one of the best in the Southeast. The parade is touted as the best in South Georgia. It has been estimated that anywhere from 20,000 to Continue reading

The big surprise in the eleven-minute meeting
was they called up former
County Engineer Charlie Clark to explain the Utility Director’s
comment about making a profit on wastewater to Lake Park Elementary School.
Yes,
the SPLOST VII Resolution is to put it on the ballot in November,
“to reimpose the tax”.
So much for those
town halls that never happened.
Yep, it’s Mac McCall for
reappointment to ZBOA.
No Proclamation this morning, so
it could still be for
South Georgia Pride
like
Valdosta Mayor John Gayle refused to proclaim last year.
And they vote tomorrow night at 5:30 PM.
Here’s the agenda, with links to the videos and a few notes.

Presumably the SPLOST VII Resolution is to put it on the ballot in November.
So much for those
town halls that never happened.
I’m guessing the ZBOA appointment is for the finally-expired term
of Dave Kirk;
they appointed
John “Mac” McCall last December to the unexpired part of Kirk’s term,
so McCall would be the odds-on reappointment.
Maybe the Proclamation is for
South Georgia Pride
like
Valdosta Mayor John Gayle refused to proclaim last year.
Why do we have to guess what all those items are for, anyway?
Why don’t they just make the agenda items descriptive,
or, even better,
link the board packet items in with the agenda?
The two
For Consideration
items are more intelligible, but would still make more sense
with those board packet materials.
Here’s the agenda.
