Summary
The board approved using $28,875 from 2019 SPLOST to replace the courthouse boiler and directed staff to investigate using 2022 LMIG funds for repairs to Bascom Road; the Bascom Road discussion produced no immediate funding motion and seeks cost estimates.
Screven County commissioners voted to use 2019 SPLOST funds to cover a $28,875 courthouse boiler replacement and directed staff to investigate road repairs funded by the 2022 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) program.
County Manager Lori Burke requested the use of 2019 SPLOST funds to pay for a boiler replacement at the courthouse. Commissioner J.C. Warren moved to approve using 2019 SPLOST funds for the boiler in the amount of $28,875; Commissioner John O. Triplett seconded and the motion carried by unanimous vote. The minutes record the approved dollar amount as $28,875.00.
Separately, Commissioner Allison Willis raised concerns about the condition of Bascom Road at Lewis Station Road. Road Superintendent Roger Brannen and Public Works Director Bobby Smith said they were exploring repair options that would be durable and cost-effective. The board authorized Smith, Brannen and County Manager Lori Burke to investigate using 2022 LMIG funds and to obtain cost estimates; no immediate funding or final commitment is recorded in the minutes.
The minutes do not provide vendor quotes, a construction schedule, or an estimated cost for Bascom Road repairs; follow-up is required for those details.
