County Manager previews SPLOST/Tourism projects including Riverbend dock, Welcome Center and bathroom upgrades
Summary
County Manager Tom Weaver told the Commission he will bring cost estimates for SPLOST/tourism-funded projects (Riverbend Park dock, King Street basketball court restrooms, a Welcome Center at City Hall) and reported staff work on dredging, water tank repair, and public-works millings.
County Manager Thomas Weaver told commissioners Aug. 5 that staff will present SPLOST- and tourism-funded project estimates at the next work session, including a dock at Riverbend Park, bathrooms at the King Street basketball court, and a Welcome Center at City Hall. Weaver said he contacted a dredging company to evaluate sand removal at the county boat ramp but cautioned the Army Corps of Engineers may place jurisdictions on a long wait list for federal dredging work.
In the Aug. 25 work session minutes Weaver provided additional operational updates: animal control staffing and Level 1 certifications completed by staff, public works placing millings at Steeplechase, culvert work on Firetower Road, water department staffing restored after two vacancies were filled, and a water tank valve repair that made the tank serviceable. Weaver also requested Commission approval to build a climate-controlled storage building behind 215 McNaughton St. to store election equipment and improve county storage capacity.
Commissioners asked staff to prepare cost estimates and bid packages where required and to include water and public works staff in any project briefings; Fort Benning was cited as a potential partner on Riverbend paving work.
