They were waiting on Demarcus Marshall. He arrived shortly with his own food. Can being the lone vote be worrisome? Here’s the agenda.

Agenda, Planning Meeting @ LCC 2016-02-04
Turns out they did post an agenda for the Planning Meeting this morning and tomorrow,
just not on
the county calendar nor in their agenda section.
Hm, Accountability Court: will they have to go to that?

Videos: Candidate Forum @ SCLC 2015-09-20
Here are videos of the candidate forum at Serenity Church last Sunday.
Anyone can use these videos provided they attribute Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange.
There’s another candidate forum tonight at VSU.
And if you haven’t heard John Robinson sing, you really ought to listen to this. Plus Roy Taylor says he didn’t do it.
Candidates Qualified for City Elections in Lowndes County, GA
Every Valdosta City Council seat up for election is contested,
a couple of Valdosta School Board seats, one Hahira City Council seat,
and five people are running for four Lake Park City Council seats.
Although this is a nonpartisan election, all candidates are invited to speak tonight at the Lowndes County Democratic Party (LCDP) monthly meeting, 6PM Monday 14 September 2015, at Mama June’s Home Cookin’, 3286 Inner Perimeter Rd., Valdosta, GA. Around 20 of them will speak, so here’s your first opportunity to hear directly from most of the candidates.
Here’s the list of candidates who qualified for this election, according to the Lowndes County Board of Elections, formatted the way they sent it. Continue reading
Videos: Vallotton agriculture on Bemiss Road, historic preservation, personal services @ GLPC 2015-03-30
They took the
Lake Park personal services case
first and recommended it 8:0.
REZ-2015-06 Vickers was withdrawn by applicant.
Vallotton Farms‘ reversion to Estate Agricultural was recommended 8:0
after an explanation by attorney Bill Langdale (and yours truly chimed in).
Denser zoning for
Edward Jennings LLC
was recommended 5:4 with a rare example of the Chairman voting, this time in favor.
And the Valdosta historic preservation
LDR changes were recommended 8:0.
Those two Lowndes County cases have already been heard at the
Lowndes County Commission
Work Session yesterday morning
and will be voted on tonight at the Regular Session.
The Vallotton case greatly puzzled the County Planner and at least one of the Commissioners.
Here’s the agenda, reordered according to how they actually considered the cases, with links to the videos, results of the votes, and a few notes. Continue reading
Videos: Fire aid, drinking, driving, and air conditioning @ LCC 2015-03-24
One citizen got cut off
just as he said the county attorney
thought he could interpret state law however he liked.
In addition to the
Lake Park Fire Department Automatic Aid Agreement
the County Manager asked at the Work Session to add to
agenda,
they also added
Southern Region Traffic Enforcement Network (SRTEN).
Plus not on the agenda there was
recognition of student guests.

Keep Lowndes-Valdosta Beautiful cleanup presentation.
They meet again this morning.
Also voted on two weeks ago were changes to the speed zone ordinance, a GEMA grant application, a proposal for engineering services for Exits 22 and 29, HVAC for county buildings, and a liquor license. Here’s the agenda with links to the videos and a few notes.

Return to agriculture, historic preservation, and personal services @ GLPC 2015-03-30
While
Vallotton Farms wants to revert to Estate Agricultural,
Vickers
and
Edward Jennings LLC want denser zoning.
It’s not clear what the
Valdosta historic preservation case
or the
Lake Park personal services case
are about, since the county still doesn’t publish board packets.
Note that Vallotton Farms (both the part outlined in red
that appears to be the subject of the rezoning and the bigger part west of Bemiss Road) is on Cherry Creek, upstream from the dam,
and upstream from Cherry Creek Sink on the
Withlacoochee River, which leaks into our drinking water in the Floridan Aquifer.
Better agriculture upstream from that than other possibilities.
Here’s the agenda. Continue reading
