Quitman County manager reports EMS activity, GDOT paving schedule and library and community-program updates
Summary
County Manager Jason Weeks reported February EMS figures (22 calls; average response seven minutes), said Oxford Paving was awarded the Lower Lumpkin Road contract with work expected after weather delays, and summarized library hotspots, training and community grant applications.
County Manager Jason Weeks delivered routine operations updates at the Georgetown-Quitman County Commission meeting on April 8.
Weeks reported February EMS activity of 22 total calls, nine transports, four refusals and nine cancellations; the average response time was seven minutes. He said the county provided mutual aid eight times and did not request mutual aid in the reporting period.
On infrastructure, Weeks said GDOT awarded the Lower Lumpkin Road paving contract to Oxford Paving; work is running behind because of weather but is scheduled to start in April and the manager will provide a start date when available. Weeks also said Alfred Walls with GDOT had not yet inspected the Dollar Tree driveway site-distance concerns but had assured county staff the issue will be reviewed.
Weeks described early planning for a Community Center addition tied to a CDBG application: architects from 2WR (Alex Griggs) and RVRC representative Blaine Hoskins toured the facility, sketched plans and requested supporting letters from groups that receive commodities at the center.
Other service updates included Family Connections’ senior produce delivery moving to the Neighborhood Service Center (Family Connections applied for a $5,000 Young Entrepreneurs grant and a $24,000 DEAL Center grant for early learners), a 4‑H coordinator report on fundraisers and competitions, and library announcements from librarian Betty Fair about 10 hotspots available for checkout, an upcoming computer-skills class, two book grants received and planned Saturday hours in June–August.
The minutes record these updates as informational reports; no formal county policy changes or contract awards beyond the GDOT contract award mention were recorded in the meeting minutes.
