Service Delivery mismatch between cities and Lowndes County @ LCC 2016-11-29
Back in 1999, Lowndes County made AP news for being
the only Georgia county to miss the deadline to file a service delivery plan and also not to file an extension.
They finally came to
an agreement in 2008 after a lot of wrangling,
The tradition of local government disagreement about
the 1997
HB 489 law requiring lack of duplication of tax-paid services
continued tonight, with a Special Called Meeting.
Caitlyn Chastain, WALBNews10, 11 November 2016,
Valdosta and Lowndes Co. leaders miss deadline for SDS agreement,
Lowndes County leaders are holding a special meeting for citizens to talk about their newest proposal for the city on November 29th.
If I’m not mistaken, they only posted the agenda yesterday. But Gretchen is there with the LAKE video camera. Until they straigten this out, none of them can apply for federal or state grants. Last I heard, Continue reading
7 county cases, 2 city rezonings, an LDR and a CUP @ GLPC 2016-11-28
Eleven cases on the busiest the agenda for the Planning Commission in a long time, with a packed house, plus election of Chair and Vice Chair.
Valdosta to add solar power to both wastewater treatment plants 2016-10-06
Valdosta just leapfrogged the rest of the state in solar power for wastewater treatment plants.
Council Tim Carroll expanded beyond the laconic summary of Thursday’s Valdosta City Council action,
which itself expanded on a July action.
Turns out Valdosta is one of several cities across Georgia with solar power for their wastewater treatment facilities, and maybe not the largest nor the earliest, but apparently the earliest large one.
The main point is clear from all of them: solar power for wastewater plants pays for itself in only a few years and can save millions of dollars over decades.

Videos: More northern subdivision rezonings + 6 Valdosta @ GLPC 2016-08-29
A third Lowndes County Case in west Valdosta near James Road,
REZ-2016-15, was pulled from the agenda until next month
to be sure it will be ready for review (but not withdrawn).
One Valdosta case,
CU-2016-02, was announced as withdrawn
at the beginning of the meeting.
The
stormwater LDR changes apparently were mostly to
remove description of very old previous material and various housekeeping
including reflecting a rate increase the Valdosta City Council already approved
back in June after a series of public hearings.
Expect the Comprehensive Plan back next month: they didn’t examine it this time because
the agenda was already very long. Continue reading
More northern subdivision rezonings + 6 Valdosta @ GLPC 2016-08-29
Still more subdivisions planned in what the county calls
Central Lowndes County

including
stormwater revisions to the LDR.
