Loading...
Summary
The Board appointed members to multiple county boards and commissions, deferred a decision on paving bids after receiving two contractor proposals, discussed dumpster-site operations and set new Saturday hours for the Transfer Station starting July 11, 2020.
At the June 23 meeting, the Screven County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of appointments to county boards and commissions, discussed paving bids for three county roads and agreed to a July hearing on road work decisions.
By unanimous votes the board appointed Christie Durrence to the Industrial Development Board; Evon Roberts to the Library Board; Alan Bragg, Chris Thomas, Wes Withrow and Reggie McDonald to the Recreation Advisory Committee; Charles Parker, David Hinson and Andy Durrence to the Planning & Zoning Commission; Rick Freeman as the at-large city/county representative to the Coastal Regional Council; and Alan Scott and Karen Taylor to the Keep Screven Beautiful Board. Each appointment passed on a motion followed by a second and was recorded as carried by unanimous vote.
Road Superintendent Roger Brannen presented two bids for paving Jenk Hill Road, Green Hill Road and Johnson Grove Road. The bids were Littlefield Construction for $289,907.23 and Everett Dykes for $440,645.37. Commissioners requested further information: Commissioner Rosa Romeo asked for more detail before proceeding, and Commissioner Edwin Lovett asked Brannen to obtain estimates on building up the roads rather than full paving. The Board agreed to table the decision until the July meeting.
Commissioner McBride also discussed county dumpster-site planning and said the county is seeking land near Ogeechee Road and Goloid Road for an additional dumpster site. Commissioner Triplett announced the Transfer Station will open to the public on Saturdays beginning July 11, 2020, from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. During public comment A.W. Robinson said dumpster sites were not being cleaned, Justine Brown, Mayor of Oliver, asked whether the county could install a camera at Oliver’s dumpster site, and Alan Stewart requested an update on the Solid Waste Management Plan. The minutes record these public comments but do not list follow-up actions.
Commissioners also noted crush-and-run work at the Jacksonboro dumpster site and recorded that Atlantic Waste officially withdrew its application that day. The meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
