County manager reports roundabout timeline, stray facility inspection and roadwork plans at Feb. 24 work session
Summary
At a Feb. 24 work session County Manager Thomas Weaver reported a recent stray‑facility inspection with a 30‑day remedy window, a roundabout under construction (contract states 60 days but Weaver expects roughly a year), and LMIG paperwork sent to engineering for bid packets; public‑works repairs and septic work were also discussed.
County Manager Thomas Weaver outlined multiple operational items at the Feb. 24 work session. He told the commission contractors and staff were addressing staffing-level requirements with an IGSA contractor and dealing with issues identified in a stray‑facility inspection; the county has a 30‑day window to resolve items noted in the report.
On roadwork, Weaver said a roundabout project is underway and advised people to avoid the intersection while work continues; he noted that although the contract specifies 60 days, he believes the work will more realistically take about a year. The manager also reported storm clean‑up, a replaced radio shed awaiting communications hookup, a fixed pipe on Hitchitee Creek Road and septic repairs at the sheriff’s department.
LMIG paperwork for several road projects (including a change directing funds from Riverbend Road to Friendship Road) has been forwarded to an engineer so bid packets can be prepared. Weaver added recreation‑program updates (extended baseball registration and upcoming youth basketball finals) and noted auditor David McCoy is still preparing audit materials.
The work session also recorded discussions about GDOT landscaping maintenance for the roundabout and an ongoing review of cemetery bylaws and committee terms; the commission deferred action on ordinance changes pending further review by the county attorney and Planning & Zoning.
