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.

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.

the county’s sound system wasn’t working) and the
Chairman’s ending comments on Youth Leadership,
and your elected Commissioners spent about six minutes on the business of the county,
including spending some unknown amount of money on road services.
Chairman Bill Slaughter mentioned the recent death of his predecessor
Fred DeLoach.
County Manager Joe Pritchard said he tried to talk
Carmella Braswell out of retiring,
but she has done so.

Where do they actually discuss things?
Second longest at one minute and 46 seconds was the controversial
7 a. North Lowndes Spring Creek Utility Inter-connection Project Phase II,
for which they made a decision about the yellow paper.
They still never said who the rest of the bidders were, nor how much they bid,
on this $3,889,825.23 project.
