Six minutes and ten seconds yesterday morning
to breeze through the
agenda for the Work Session;
the Lowndes County Commission votes tonight at 5:30 PM.
Also,
the Chairman announced
the
Budget Work Session to start at 9AM,
which didn’t match the posting about that time put on the county’s website.
Video.
Jeff Sikes had a letter of endorsement from the Airport Authority,
and the county Chairman said a few words for him.
If Sikes was present, they didn’t mention it.
Below are links to each LAKE video of yesterday morning’s Work Session plus a very few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. Continue reading →
It probably won’t take them 15 minutes after 8 AM to breeze through this
light agenda, including reappoinging Jeff Sikes to the
Airport Authority,
increasing “convenience fees for online and telephone payments to $2.50 per transaction”, some I-75 exit work, and a swimming pool at Moody Air Force Base.
Plus a beer and wine license due to the usual change of ownership,
and an HVAC maintenance contract.

WORK SESSION, MONDAY, MAY 22, 2017, 8:30 a.m.

After the County Commission Work Session shown in these LAKE videos,
the Planning Commission met Monday evening,
and this evening (Tuesday 5:30PM) the County Commission votes,
but will table the
ULDC amendments.
In addition to all the other items
on
the agenda and mentioned in the previous post,
they went into an
Executive Session about Pending Litigation.
Who are they suing now?
Or who’s still suing them about for example James Road?
Here are links to the LAKE videos of yesterday morning’s meeting, followed by a video playlist.
The Planning Commission meets Monday evening to consider
those ULDC amendments,
so county staff will recommend to the County Commission at their Monday 8:30 AM Work Session that they table the MAZ text changes
at their Regular Session Tuesday 5:30 PM evening.
Meanwhile,
the Air Force wants to maintain the road rights of way
for Davidson Road and along Grassy Pond.
And the
Land Bank Authority
wants to appoint some more members, acording to “the attached resolution”
which of course we the taxpayers aren’t allowed to see without an open records request.

A beer license, and some filters for public works:
that's all that's on the agenda for the unquestioning Lowndes County Commission.
They did have two very brief reports on the weekend's
weather and how they dealt with it.
Then they went into executive session for real estate and litigation,
which seems to have been the real purpose of this meeting,
which otherwise lasted four minutes.
They vote on the agenda items Tuesday at 5:30 PM.
Here's
the agenda,
with links to the videos and some notes.

A beer license, and some filters for public works:
that’s all that’s on the agenda for the Lowndes County Commission.
Maybe they’ll have a report on this weekend’s weather;
any damage it caused; how they dealt with it.

Here’s
the agenda
with links to the videos and a few notes, or links to separate posts.
Apologies for the poor sound on the first videos;
we didn’t have the usual camera.
Of course, if the Commission did its own videoing and posting, that problem
would be unlikely to occur.
some comments about recently deceased former VSU president Hugh C. Bailey,
and noted the fire chief had a new fire truck, which was parked outside.

Karen Noll spoke against the charter school amendment,
saying it would implement taxation without representation Karen Noll @ LCC 2012-10-09 and would take more tax dollars from our public schools to give twice as much money to special charter school students.
Ken Klanicki never actually even approached the podium.
After being asked by the chairman to come to the podium or leave the room,
he wandered to the back of the room and was escorted out by a deputy sheriff.
He called me by name as he left, but I have no idea what he was trying to
accomplish.
He called me later, but when I asked him that, he had no explanation.
Here’s
a video playlist.
It shifts from the first camera (good video, poor sound) to the second camera (video with no closeups, good sound) in the middle, when I arrived with the second camera.
The rest of the first camera videos are tacked onto the end.
Next time we’ll attempt to have the good camera.
