Ware County directs stump removal, agrees short mowing delay and discusses Development Authority relocation; FEMA paperwork reported approved
Summary
County staff were directed to remove a stump left at 8235 Old Nichols Highway by contractor CrowderGulf after Hurricane Helene; the board agreed to a short delay for right-of-way mowing, approved relocation of the Waycross–Ware County Development Authority into vacant commission-office space with restrictions, and received a FEMA reimbursement status update.
County Manager James Shubert asked the board for direction on several operational matters at the March 27 meeting. Commissioners directed staff to remove a large stump left at 8235 Old Nichols Highway by contractor CrowderGulf during Hurricane Helene debris removal. The contracted right-of-way mowing crew was allowed to delay a couple of weeks so ditches could dry, and commissioners agreed to relocate the Waycross–Ware County Development Authority into empty offices in the commission office building but asked that staff and visitors not pass through the Commission Office.
During commission comments, Commissioner Leonard Burse asked for an update on FEMA reimbursement. EMA Director Johnathan Daniell said he checks with FEMA weekly and that all required paperwork has been submitted and approved; the meeting record did not state any reimbursement dollar amounts.
No vote was recorded for the operational requests; the record shows the board provided direction or agreement to staff actions.
