The most interesting developments were not on the agenda.
Commissioners approved dollar amounts
for two purchase orders
that were completely different
from the ones they were quoted the morning before, with no discussion:
the County Attorney quoted the new figures, asked for approval,
and immediately got it.
Commissioner Richard Raines still didn’t want to enforce
a neighborhood covenant
yet it was Commissioner Raines
who made the motion last fall to let
an Exclusive Franchise
with
Advanced Disposal Services;
a covenant the county is now trying to enforce
by having the County Attorney
sue local business Deep South Sanitation.
They said nothing about
that 100 foot wide pipeline barrelling through the county.
They could have the County Attorney investigate that, but they aren’t.
They approved meeting for millage rate approval 8:30 AM Friday 26 July 2013:
that’s for the property taxes they collect, which presumably
partly go to pay the County Attorney.
And the Chairman refused to let a citizen speak on a technicality.
Here’s the agenda with links to the videos and a few notes. See also videos of the previous morning’s Work Session.
