Videos: Day 2, Planning, Lowndes County Commission @ LCC 2018-02-20
These videos are for those of you who have jobs, or responsibilities, which prevent you from taking random days or hours off at a time. Commissioner Marshall was absent from the second day of the retreat because he has a job which does not allow him the flexibility of daytime hours off. (The first day of the retreat was on Presidents Day.)
The topics of discussion ranged from the ever popular litter and trash collection, to special tax districts, fire and emergency response, animal control and the animal shelter, and one of my favorites, electronic records. Most presentations were made either by the county manager or clerk but the current Deep South Solid Waste Authority Chairman Kevin Beals was first up to talk trash.
Below are links to each LAKE video of Day 2, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the LAKE videos of Day 1 and Continue reading

No coal ash on a dozen years of DSSWA agendas (but Brooks County Landfill)
In agendas for the governmental group which supposedly has oversight of the landfill in Lowndes County, Georgia, there is no mention at all of coal or coal ash. Thanks to Julia Shewchuck of SGRC, those agendas for the Deep South Solid Waste Authority (DSSWA) are on the LAKE website.
![[April 18, 2007 Agenda]](http://www.l-a-k-e.org/govt/dsswa/agendas/small/2007-04-18--Agenda--4-18-07-Meeting-0001.jpg)
Back in 2006 the proposed
Brooks County Landfill
is on the
the proposed April 19, 2006 agenda,
and
the June 21, 2006 agenda
said there was
a public hearing June 29, 2006.
An update was on the
October 18, 2016 agenda.
2007 starts with one meeting with no mention of the landfill, but the April 18, 2007 meeting has “5. Discussion of Onyx/Langdale Proposed Land Swap”. I don’t see any further mention of the Brooks County landfill after that, and apparently it never happened.
Curiously, these mentions of the Brooks County Landfill on the DSSWA agenda are all months after these VDT stories: Continue reading
