Videos of the 9:15 AM 26 January 2015
Special Called Meeting on Solid Waste Management
by the Lowndes County Commission.
There’s another such meeting
today 2-4 PM.
Both ADS and Deep South Sanitation spoke Monday morning, which is a welcome change from the county suing the one on behalf of the other. Rather than give ADS the raise it wants, let’s not forget there is a termination clause in that exclusive franchise. Continue reading

Mike Allen, former Utilities Director,
no longer works for the county as of last Friday, according to
County Manager Joe Pritchard.
Dr. Amanda Hall
proposed an
anti-tethering ordinance.
Both at yesterday morning’s Work Session of the Lowndes County Commission.
Lowndes County won
an award for its budget as “a policy document, a financial plan, an operations guide and a communications device.”
All good except: as a communications device?
They’d probably have to publish drafts of it before they passed it for
that to be true.
Unless they mean as in a public telling, not a public hearing.
They won last year, too,
along with 45 other winners in Georgia,
including Valdosta.
Award, or passing grade?
They’ll
present it tonight
at the Regular Session.
No rezonings, but surplus computing devices, abandonment of Deloach Road E (CR 95), more on the never-ending juvenile justice Evidence Based Associates topic, Workers Compensation Insurance Renewal, and sewer gasses corrode manhole covers. I wonder how much gases corrode pipelines?
See the agenda. Videos are linked below, followed by a video playlist.

Teri Lupo
reappointed to VLDA
and almost all the Commissioners asked questions at some point during the
at the Tuesday 5:30 PM 13 January 2015
Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission, at which
two new Commissioners got to vote.
Several citizens spoke, on
getting board packets on the web,
on
getting their road paved,
on
safety on Val Del Road and reopening some of the waste collection sites,
and
the
National Council of Negro Women;
the
Chairman weighed in on a couple of topics.
They meet again Monday morning 26 January 2015 plus a Special Called Meeting on Waste Management that same morning.
The Alapaha River Water Trail resolution, according to the Chairman before the meeting, is waiting until they’re ready to dedicate the new boat ramp at US 84, which is waiting until the river water goes down enough to pour concrete. Maybe some time this spring.
See the agenda for details on what they were considering, and see the videos of the previous morning’s Work Session for background. Below are links to the LAKE videos of each agenda item, followed by a video playlist. See also the county’s own much more professional one big long video.

Teri Lupo was available for questions about
being reappointed to VLDA at the Monday 8:30 AM 21 12 January 2015
Work Session of the Lowndes County Commission.
There were no questions, but
Commissioners Demarcus and one other (I think Mark Wisenbaker) had compliments.
The Chairman asked for a motion to appoint, but was reminded this was
a Work Session, so wait until the next evening for that.
The agenda item for the resolution in support of the Alapaha River Water Trail, according to the Chairman before the meeting, is waiting until they’re ready to dedicate the new boat ramp at US 84, which is waiting until the river water goes down enough to pour concrete. Maybe some time this spring.
