Lowndes County is holding its Budget Meetings this week.
Typically Commissioners and staff hear from all departments,
agencies, and Authorities that get tax funds collected by the county.

I’m guessing Richard Shelton wants to put a mobile phone tower on,
because it’s listed as
TWR-2019-01 on the
Greater Lowndes Planning Commission agenda
for tomorrow.
Much smaller counties manage to post the entire packet with the agenda.
At least this time the agenda is posted before the meeting without me having
to call and ask where it is.

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
AGENDA
Monday, April 29, 2019 * 5:30 P.M. * Public Hearing
Lowndes County South Health District Administrative Office
325 West Savannah Avenue
As usual, the county did not publish the applications the applicants turned in, nor any information about them.
You could file an open records request for those,
but three days from when the agenda is posted on Friday
is after they vote on Tuesday.
You do still have time to turn in your own application if you want to be on one of these boards.
So the Monday morning Work Session will probably last less than ten minutes.

327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor
Six minutes, almost as long as the preceding Work Session, for this special hurry-up real estate item that couldn’t wait
one day for tonight’s Regular Session.
Lowndes County Project Manager Chad McLeod explained the easement.
Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker asked wasn’t there an existing implied easement.
Real Estate Agent Tom McCall said there wasn’t,
although what he described sounded awful like that.
However, he pointed out they had no idea Continue reading →
Lowndes County still does not have a County Planner and now not a Zoner, either,
since Carmella Braswell resigned last month.
As usual, Molly Stevenson spoke for Planning.
I see she is now listed as
Department Head on some county documents.

Misty Yeargan of 4501 Wellington Woods Drive, across US 41 from the point
of the subject property, wanted to know if there was a plan for the subject
property.
The proponent answered to say that there’s not room for a driveway down there,
so any driveway would have to be farther north, about where the current
driveway is now.
Acting county planner Molly Stevenson added that there would be buffer
requirements in place, as well.
They voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning with no conditions.

Special Called Meeting
Monday, April 8, 2019
A special called meeting will be held for consideration of an
agreement between Coleman Talley and Lowndes County for a mutual
easement. *There could be a slight delay if the work session runs
longer than expected.
They expect this Work Session to take less than 15 minutes,
since they have
a Special Called Meeting at 8:45 AM:
“There could be a slight delay if the work session runs longer than expecte.”
Why they couldn’t wait one day to vote on that also in tomorrow’s
Regular Session is mysterious.

PROPOSED AGENDA
WORK SESSION, MONDAY, APRIL 8, 2019, 8:30 a.m.
REGULAR SESSION, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 2019, 5:30 p.m.
327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor
According to DSSWA Chair Kevin Beals,
today’s
special called meeting
is cancelled.
Instead, they will handle business at their regular April meeting.
There is no agenda for that meeting yet, but he will ask for one to be
sent when it is ready.
The topics of the special called meeting were the
July 1, 2019 increase in local government surcharges per ton,
from $1.00 to $2.50, as passed last year in
HB 792
and
SB 385.
Also ADS wants to increase its rates, due to that and apparently some federal rule changes.
