Commission approves utility easement across county property for Hinesville's water tie; motion text contained inconsistent city name
Summary
The board approved a county utility easement to permit a municipal water tie across county property near Airport Road for the City of Hinesville; the motion recorded in the transcript used a different city name, which was clarified in discussion.
County staff presented a proposed utility easement across Liberty County property along Airport Road to let a municipal water line connect a newly drilled well into the City of Hinesville system. The easement would run across county-owned property at the front part of the parcel near the pond and would not interfere with planned sheriff—s office expansion, staff said.
"We are recommending that you approve and execute this easement," a county presenter told commissioners. Commissioner Miss Terrell moved to approve the utility easement request; a commissioner seconded and the board approved the request by show of hands.
The transcript records inconsistent place names during the motion: staff described the request as coming from the City of Hinesville, while the mover used the name "Huntsville" in the motion language. Commissioners and staff discussed the line route (across Board of Education property and county land) and suggested negotiating a tap or connector arrangement with the city for future county benefit.
Ending: The board voted in favor of granting the easement; staff will finalize and execute the easement instrument with the requesting city and return any final documents to the board.
