Board proclaims Donate Life Month; Enrichment Services seeks county support and staff update on wells, public works and grants
Summary
The commission adopted a Donate Life Month proclamation and heard a presentation from Enrichment Services seeking a letter of support; county staff also updated commissioners on water well outages, public‑works repairs and a $1,700 microchipping grant for animals.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County unanimously adopted a proclamation proclaiming April 2025 as Donate Life Month and expressing support for LifeLink of Georgia.
At the April 28 work session Belva Dorsey‑Mott of Enrichment Services, accompanied by Sabrina Stephens (a school board representative), reviewed the nonprofit’s workforce training offerings and asked the county to consider a letter of support for future programs. Dorsey‑Mott said the group provides training in areas such as EMT, commercial driving (CDL) and certified nursing assistant (CNA) preparation and asked the county to help publicize the opportunities.
County Manager Thomas Weaver updated the board on several operational matters: intermittent outages at well #3 (suspected lightning damage and under investigation), a leak on Trotters Ridge that public works repaired quickly, well #4 offline with well #1 temporarily carrying system load, public‑works shoulder and culvert repairs including work to clear beaver dams, and installation of library benches by public works. Weaver also reported a private donation of pet food and a $1,700 grant to support animal microchipping covering Fort Benning and county animals.
Why it matters: the proclamation is ceremonial but lifts awareness of organ and tissue donation. The training programs and microchipping grant offer direct, small‑scale community benefits and potential workforce development avenues. County staff said several items raised (conditional‑use permit changes, road bid questions, bank signatory resolution) will return to the commission agenda for formal action.
What’s next: the county manager and planning staff will forward conditional‑use permit draft language from Planning & Zoning to the county attorney for review; Enrichment Services may request a formal letter of support at a future meeting.
