Votes at a glance: Camden County approves easement, radio purchase, Kings Bay contracts, deed transfer and other routine items
Summary
The Camden County Board of Commissioners approved several consent and action items, including a Georgia Power easement, grant‑funded Harris radios for emergency communications, Musco Lighting contract awards for Kings Bay projects, the deed transfer of the old Woodbine School back to the school board, and a letter supporting HR 6559.
At its regular meeting, the Camden County Board of Commissioners approved several consent and action items with limited discussion.
A Georgia Power representative asked for a 15‑foot easement on parcel 063052 to install and maintain an overhead distribution line; staff recommended approval and the board granted the easement.
The board approved purchase of 10 Harris radios to stock the county’s mobile command vehicle, funded through a Homeland Security grant, to improve interoperability during mutual‑aid operations.
Two contract awards to Musco Sports Lighting were approved under a national cooperative: one for parking lot lighting replacement and repair on Kings Bay Naval Base (projected expense roughly $1,315,018 and revenue roughly $1,448,480 under the IGSA), and a second for athletic field lighting for three softball fields adjacent to a previously upgraded football field. Commissioners described the agreements as a fiscal benefit to the county because the work is cost‑reimbursed and generates an administrative fee to support county capital purchases.
The board also approved a deed transfer returning the old Woodbine School (201 Camden Avenue) to the Camden County School Board, retaining existing agreements such as the on‑site Opry. The board passed a letter of support seeking cosponsors for House Resolution HR 6559 (the Thickell Memorial Congressional Gold Medal Act) following a presentation from local advocates.
Finally, the board voted to issue a retraction of a previously published legal notice related to a millage rate matter after a court ruling found procedural error; the retraction passed with one abstention.
