Summary
The Screven County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 8 unanimously adopted the 2020–2040 Joint Comprehensive Plan, approved the 2020 LMIG road project list and a set of routine motions including a USDA lease renewal, qualifying-fee schedule and an appointment to Keep Screven Beautiful.
The Screven County Board of Commissioners met Oct. 8 at the Screven County Courthouse and unanimously adopted the county's 2020'2040 Joint Comprehensive Plan, approved the 2020 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) road-project list and passed several routine measures.
The board's vote to adopt the comprehensive plan came after Commissioner John O. Triplett moved to adopt the final version by resolution; Commissioner Michael McBride seconded the motion and it carried by unanimous vote. The resolution approves the county's guiding land use and growth framework for the next two decades.
Also during the meeting the board approved a 2020 LMIG road-project list. Commissioner J.C. Warren moved to approve the LMIG list; Commissioner Michael McBride seconded and the motion carried unanimously. At the commissioners' request, the board agreed to research contractors for overlay work after Road Superintendent Roger Brannen raised a need for overlay contracting.
Other motions approved on unanimous voice votes included: - Declaring eight Recreation Department scoreboards surplus and donating one to the Town of Rocky Ford and one to Screven County Middle School (moved by Commissioner John O. Triplett). - Approving the purchase of a new motor for the Recreation Department's zero-turn mower for $4,600 after Recreation Director Truman Anderson reported the existing motor had failed (moved by Commissioner Rosa Romeo, seconded by J.C. Warren). - Approving qualifying fees for local offices for the 2020 elections (moved by Commissioner Rosa Romeo). - Renewing the lease for the USDA office (moved by Commissioner J.C. Warren). - Appointing Karen Taylor to the Keep Screven Beautiful Board (moved by Commissioner Michael McBride, seconded by Commissioner Edwin Lovett).
Each motion was moved, seconded and recorded as carrying by unanimous vote on the record; no roll-call tallies were provided in the minutes.
The board recessed into executive session at 9:40 a.m. for discussion of litigation and personnel matters and returned to open session at 11:01 a.m., at which time the board approved the executive-session minutes before adjourning.
The board did not set specific implementation dates for actions recorded in the meeting minutes; funding and next steps for LMIG projects and the comprehensive plan were not specified in the record.
