Council approves street-resurfacing contract, tower-attachment amendment, alcohol renewals and confirms board appointments
Summary
In a series of largely uncontested votes Nov. 12, Milledgeville council approved a $2.5 million contract with Reeves Construction for about six miles of resurfacing (partly LMIG-funded), authorized a fifth amendment to a tower-attachment lease with New Singular Wireless PCS LLC, approved a second batch of 2024 alcohol-license renewals for 2025, and confirmed multiple appointments to boards and committees.
At its Nov. 12 meeting, the Milledgeville City Council approved several resolutions and confirmations in a set of routine votes.
Street resurfacing contract: Council adopted resolution R-24-11-49 authorizing an agreement with Reeves Construction Company to resurface and rehabilitate approximately six miles of city streets. According to the city manager, the contract before council is for about $2,500,000; funding for the project will come from Georgia DOT LMIG funds, a required local match for earlier banked LMIG money and some remaining SPLOST funds, and the manager noted some streets require full-depth reclamation, which increases cost.
Tower attachment lease amendment: Council approved a resolution authorizing the fifth amendment to the tower-attachment lease with New Singular Wireless PCS LLC to modify terms for equipment placement and rent on the water tank located at 139 Robertson Mill Road.
Alcohol-license renewals: Council approved resolution R-24-11-50, which renews a second batch of 2024 alcohol licenses for the 2025 license year; the individual applications were included as an attachment to the resolution.
Appointments: Council confirmed nominations to several boards: Dr. Joy Nelson and Mr. Owen Pittman to the Central State Hospital Local Redevelopment Authority; the mayor announced a mayoral (statutory) appointment of Mr. Randy Clark as resident commissioner to the Milledgeville Housing Authority; Dr. Veronica Womack, Mr. Irvin Griffin, Ms. Pamela Beere and alternate Ms. Carrie Jarrett were confirmed to the city ethics board; and the council confirmed nominees to the city pension committee including Councilmember Steve Chambers and Councilmember Jeanette Walden among employee representatives and Marilyn Pelt as retiree representative.
Why it matters: these votes authorize near-term public-works spending, adjust terms for a communications lease on city infrastructure, renew business licenses, and fill local governance positions that affect planning and fiduciary oversight.
Procedural notes: most items passed by unanimous roll call with no extended discussion; Reeves Construction and the tower-attachment lease were discussed as part of the manager’s report and as listed on the published agenda.
