Officials say Frank Roberts Road dam repairs holding; public works and Fire/EMS report monthly activity
Summary
County staff reported the Frank Roberts Road dam is back-flowing and roadways are holding up after repairs; public works gave water-usage and road-maintenance details and Fire/EMS reported call volumes and volunteer certifications.
Schley County officials reported on infrastructure and public-safety activity during the June 10 meeting.
Douglas Jamieson presented photos showing the Frank Roberts Road dam in its current condition and said the pond is back-flowing as originally intended. Art Barfield said the road is holding up with no problems but noted the original spillway needs attention; Barfield and Commissioner Jones said maintaining the spillway is the responsibility of the property owner.
In departmental reports Art Barfield said county water usage for the month was 5,036,500 gallons; 736 meters were read, 292,860 gallons were sold to Andersonville, four meters were locked for past-due accounts, and four new services were installed. The Road Department completed a first round of right-of-way mowing, hauled sand to William Grove Road, hauled dirt to Wellons Road to fill mudholes, graded dirt roads as weather permitted, relocated a stop sign at Frank Roberts Road and Hopewell, and installed driveways on Lacrosse, Hunter, Dozier and Raybon roads.
Fire Chief Duane Montgomery reported 64 EMS calls and 17 fire responses this month; five volunteers achieved Fire Support Level Certification. Georgia Forestry reassigned Schley County to the Taylor Unit, which Chief Montgomery said will improve wildland-fire coordination and resource availability.
Why it matters: the reports document local infrastructure maintenance and emergency-response activity; the dam spillway condition and responsibilities may affect property owners and future maintenance planning.
What’s next: engineers will provide recommendations for Holloway and Mt. Zion Roads (reported separately in the county manager update); staff will continue hydrant testing and road maintenance work as scheduled.
