Dawsonville board approves Georgia Power easement for new water-treatment plant
Summary
The City of Dawsonville Downtown Development Authority voted to approve a Georgia Power easement to bring overhead power to the city’s new wastewater treatment plant after a brief presentation; the motion was moved by Jamie McCracken, seconded by Mary Wright and approved by voice vote.
The City of Dawsonville Downtown Development Authority approved a Georgia Power easement to bring power to the city’s new wastewater treatment plant during a special-called meeting on Monday, Feb. 9.
Jacob Evans, the city manager, told the board the easement would enable power service to the new wastewater treatment plant and would be carried overhead rather than placed underground. Evans said the city attorney, Kevin, had reviewed the conveyance and "sees no issue." The board held no extended discussion and recorded no public objections.
The chair then asked for a motion to approve the Georgia Power easement conveyance "as presented." Jamie McCracken moved to approve the easement; Mary Wright seconded. After no additional remarks, the chair called for a vote and said, "All right, motion carries," indicating approval by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or opposing votes.
The easement authorization will allow Georgia Power to install overhead electrical lines to serve the new wastewater facility; the meeting did not include discussion of project funding or construction timing. Board members welcomed newly seated member Linda Hudson during the session and then moved to adjourn.
The Downtown Development Authority took no other formal action at the special meeting.
