Gretchen picked up a rainbarrel when she stopped by the Valdosta City Hall Annex to drop off okra (Okra Paradise Farms has customers everywhere).

A month ago, nobody on the County Commission or staff
knew how much the extra equipment might cost for the
three Sheriff’s pursuit vehicles,
but they awarded the bid to Langdale Ford anyway.
The automobile dealer on the Commission did have some computations
on why the higher bid might be more cost-effective.
“We have the bids in the room” said the County Engineer,
recommending awarding $1,188,500 to the Scruggs Company
for
Graded Aggregate Base, Curb-and-Gutter and Asphalt.
He also noted “they will come in and place the curb and gutter”.
The County Engineer also announced
flashing and then regular traffic lights
at Tillman Crossing on Old US 41 North.
Two citizens talked about dog problems: three dogs perhaps without shelter and barking dogs and arson.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall is holding a Town Hall December 15th.
Here’s the agenda. See also the LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session. Below are links to each of the videos of the Regular Session, followed by a video playlist. Meanwhile, they already met again this morning and will vote again Tuesday evening. Continue reading

The
bid on three pursuit vehicles for the Sheriff
got a question from Commissioner Scottie Orenstein about maintenance costs for which
a staffer from Public Works just happened to be available
to answer.
Result: not the low bid.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall asked if they were going to pay $7,000 more per vehicle ongoing.
Answer from County Manager Joe Pritchard: case by case.
This was Monday morning 8:30 AM.
They vote this evening (Tuesday) at 5:30 PM.
There was also a report from County Engineer Mike Fletcher about coordination with the railroad about traffic crossing from Old US 41 N.
Here’s the agenda. Below are links to each of the videos, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading

Monday morning 8:30 AM:
a million bucks for
road paving
(Phillips Road, Burkhalter Subdivision, Cannon Drive, and Terracewood Drive),
and an unknown (but smaller) amount in a grant re-application for
the county’s on-demand MIDS bus system.
$30,534 plus shipping for two “screwpeller aerators” for the county’s Land Application Site (LAS), aka spray field: the county does not have a wastewater treatment plant. I’m pretty sure that’s the county’s LAS just east of Grassy Pond, southwest of Lake Park.
It only costs $360 to qualify to run for Tax Assessor, here in the only Georgia county that elects them.
Here’s the agenda. Continue reading
