So, some of 168 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,160 the reasons we got some of this money that's as much as it is particularly in 169 00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:03,760 T-plot is the fact that we didn't get any roads 170 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:08,080 resurfaced last year. Um, it it wasn't our fault. It was a 171 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:12,559 rock fault with the staylight that we were trying to get and they couldn't get 172 00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:17,360 it in time for us to be able to use it. Uh hopefully, I'm not trying to take 173 00:18:14,799 --> 00:18:23,600 director Seymour's talk, but hopefully that's going to happen in the next few 174 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:28,960 weeks and we will be doing all the roads you previously approved. But uh we're 175 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:34,000 doing somewhere probably around 15 miles or so of resurfacing. 176 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:39,039 And um and then we again still have trouble 177 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:45,440 with with some potholes. That's that's really expensive to do. and Count Daniel 178 00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:50,000 Marshall Road. That's probably going to be what $300 or so,000 179 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:54,799 project we doing down there. And that's just that's not completely resurfacing 180 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,000 it either. We would double that if we were doing it all. So, we might finish 181 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:03,120 that on next year, but we're going to take care of those of those bad places 182 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:09,039 down there. Any other questions, Director Doss? 183 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:13,240 If not, we'll move to 7D. Community Development Director Seymour. 184 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:21,039 » Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, members of the board, you have my written reports. I do 185 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:25,200 have a couple of updates, um, departmental updates. Um, but I'll 186 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:30,520 entertain any questions you have on my reports before I give you a couple of 187 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,520 updates. 188 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:39,600 Any questions? Director Doss. I mean, Seymour shaking that head. I 189 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:42,160 see. I don't blame you, >> Mr. Chairman. 190 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:49,600 » Commissioner Tax, >> year to date on new single family homes. 191 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:53,600 How are we comparing to last year's time >> to last year's? We're a little bit 192 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:58,080 behind, but we are seeing a little bit of an increase. Last two months, it's 193 00:19:55,679 --> 00:20:02,240 increased a little bit. So, we're going to be right in line with where we were 194 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:08,000 last year based on my projections. >> What was the total last year? I believe 195 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:11,919 it was uh 62 64 >> 62 or 64. 196 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,799 » Yeah. >> And we still got what five months 197 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:19,120 » Yeah. >> left to go. So hopefully we were down a 198 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,880 little bit last year from what we were the year before that. Yes. 199 00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:27,200 » But but this year >> we hoping it's going to be at least what 200 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:31,919 it was last year, but it is down. It's slowed down a little bit. But I can tell 201 00:20:29,919 --> 00:20:37,120 you that the price um the price of building those homes has escalated from 202 00:20:34,159 --> 00:20:41,760 what it was last year as well. So even if we're down a little bit, I think the 203 00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:45,440 total amount added to the digest is going to be close 204 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:53,919 » close to the same if not more based on the prices I've been seeing. 205 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:58,240 Any other questions to director Seymour? You do also have, and we don't we don't 206 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:05,360 put these on, but you do have some reports from the E911, 207 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:13,039 uh, the and the county agent. So, you can look at them. Okay, that 208 00:21:07,919 --> 00:21:19,200 concludes our departmental reports. At this time, we're down to item eight, 209 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,919 which is a public hearing. Is there a motion that we go into our public 210 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,799 hearing? >> So move, Mr. 211 00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:28,559 Second >> second 212 00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:33,200 » motion by Commissioner Tangsley, second by Commissioner Antonakis to go into our 213 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:38,080 public hearing. We are now in our public hearing. Director Seymour. 214 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:42,960 » Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, um on August the 31st, the planning commission held 215 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,559 » I'm sorry you didn't call for a vote. >> I didn't. 216 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:48,799 » No sir. >> Good gracious. All in favor of the 217 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:52,799 motion let be known saying I. >> All oppose like sign. Motion's carried. 218 00:21:50,799 --> 00:21:58,240 Now you can proceed. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, on August 31st, the planning 219 00:21:55,120 --> 00:22:05,200 commission held a um meeting in a public hearing uh to discuss um chapter 34 of 220 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:10,320 the land development code, specifically accessory structures. Uh we held that 221 00:22:07,919 --> 00:22:16,960 meeting um Monday night and um discussed it. I 222 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:23,440 think we had uh one one resident that showed that that came and and voiced his 223 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:30,120 concerns. Um and so, Mr. Chairman, my board recommends approval of that change 224 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,120 uh unanimously 225 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:40,640 and it's actually specific to 34-522.1 accessory structures. And uh we're 226 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:46,159 making a text change basically adding a a section to it that would um that would 227 00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:55,039 control um storage containers, conx boxes um as 228 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:59,400 use of um storage containers in A1 and A2's own zone districts. Mr. Chairman. 229 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,520 Okay. 230 00:23:04,559 --> 00:23:10,640 Is there we are in the public hearing. Is there anyone here that'd like to 231 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,320 speak on the So, Mr. Grant, I know you do. Come forward. State your name and 232 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,320 address. 233 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:27,440 Name is Greg Grant, 1056 Feaster Lake. Good evening, commissioners. 234 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:32,640 Prohibiting shipping containers in the A3 district while allowing them with 235 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:36,880 screening in the A1 and A2 districts is illogical. Property owners in the A3 236 00:23:35,120 --> 00:23:42,240 district have just as much a need for safe, secure, and affordable structures 237 00:23:38,799 --> 00:23:47,360 as A1 and A2 property owners. Rural law enforcement cannot be everywhere. A 238 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:52,320 solid steel container offers a level of theft protection that standard sheds 239 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:58,320 simply cannot match. Building a traditional structure with equivalent 240 00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:02,960 security and durable and is durable can cost upwards of $20,000. 241 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:07,840 an unnecessary financial burden on property owners seeking basic utilities. 242 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:13,120 Local government authority exists to protect public health, safety, and 243 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:18,320 general welfare. A container hidden from p public view and neighboring properties 244 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:23,360 threatens none of these. Regulating unseen, harmless structures is a clear 245 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:28,480 government overreach. I ask that you align the A3 regulations with A1 and A2 246 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,720 by allowing shipping containers subject to reasonable setbacks and screening 247 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:36,880 standards. This balanced approach protects property rights and personal 248 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:42,240 investments while addressing visual concerns. Thank you. 249 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:48,919 » Thank you. Anyone else who would like to speak? Mr. 250 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,919 Gray, state your name and address. 251 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:08,200 Good evening, Commissioner. >> Good evening, 252 00:25:02,559 --> 00:25:08,200 » Hal Gray, 2573 Salem Church Road. 253 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:16,400 There's an an associated act or 254 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,679 or source of funding that seems to be tied into this kind of behind the 255 00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:25,679 scenes. Last year, I guess a floating local 256 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:32,480 option sales tax was approved. That basically uh mirror images the first one 257 00:25:29,919 --> 00:25:38,080 local option sales tax. This usually goes to the general fund of the county. 258 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:46,159 And uh one of the conditions I saw in the information I saw from Georgia Tech 259 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:49,520 said that uh one of the it's not a precondition. I don't know which one 260 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,880 would come first, the chicken or the egg in this case, but it said that 261 00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:57,840 ordinances needed to be brought up today. So I don't know how that relates 262 00:25:55,120 --> 00:26:03,039 to this action tonight because that I understand it. I can see it when I go to 263 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:09,200 the store. my tax rate went up 9% first of the year. So I guess the thing that I 264 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:13,760 guess I would say is since you got this real bounty in terms of sales tax 265 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:19,440 collections to you know to catch up things like uh I think the unfunded 266 00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:24,400 pensions of the of the county governments like 1.4 million and that 267 00:26:22,559 --> 00:26:31,200 certainly needs to be you know brought down. That's that's a pretty serious 268 00:26:26,159 --> 00:26:38,960 amount. Uh but in in in As this ordinance is is not unlike any 269 00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:43,200 others because anytime you do a land use ordinance that 270 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:50,960 conveys benefits to some and denies it to others, there's a potential for 271 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:55,520 future laws suits and and u conflict. And I would hope that if uh there comes 272 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,679 a conflict under this particular ordinance, if you if you pass it, that 273 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:05,760 you would uh take into consideration the the bounty that you got from the 274 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:11,440 floating sales tax and and be a little bit more lenient uh in the enforcement 275 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:14,679 of this particular ordinance. Thank you. Thank you. 276 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:28,480 Anyone else would like to speak? Going once, going twice, closed. Is our 277 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:31,480 motion that we come out of our public hearing? 278 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,400 » I have a motion by Commissioner Boxdale. Is there a second? 279 00:27:35,360 --> 00:27:41,520 » Second. >> Second by Commissioner Anthony. 280 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:45,840 Any discussion on the motion to come out of the public I mean 281 00:27:44,159 --> 00:27:48,799 come out of the public hearing there being none. All in favor of the motion 282 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:53,039 let be known say I. >> All oppose like sign motions carried. We 283 00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:57,600 out public hearing. Director Seymour. >> Yes sir. Mr. Chairman without objection 284 00:27:55,360 --> 00:28:00,640 u I'm going to read uh the section that we're proposing to add. 285 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:05,760 » Let me make a statement. >> Yes sir. 286 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:13,679 » You can go through the present codes. online was in section 34 which deals 287 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:19,480 with land use codes that was passed 23 years ago. 288 00:28:15,919 --> 00:28:19,480 Section 34-522-1 289 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:30,799 is accessory structures. It's very short. is only 290 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:36,720 that probably was only a page to begin with that was passed at the in the 291 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:42,000 inception of this 20 three or four years ago. 292 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:46,320 What we're doing with this is will be considered the first reading. Then it 293 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:50,559 will be put on the website for the next month for you to look at and it will 294 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:57,279 come to a vote before the commission at the October meeting. 295 00:28:54,159 --> 00:29:01,600 This is a text change to that ordinance which is adding what he is fixing to do 296 00:28:59,679 --> 00:29:05,440 tonight. The other stuff just deals with this 297 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:09,600 the other part of this which is about three or four paragraphs is is what 298 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:16,480 we've been doing all along but it all of it will be put on the website. What he's 299 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:22,000 doing now is u he goes through A through F. We adding a G and he will be reading 300 00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:26,720 the G. >> Yes sir, Mr. General G prohibited 301 00:29:24,399 --> 00:29:33,039 structures subjects to the provision contained in one and two below shipping 302 00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:39,919 containers i.e. ConX boxes are prohibited in all zoning districts. A1 303 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:46,320 and A2 districts shipping containers i.e. ConX boxes are permitted in A1 A2 304 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:51,600 districts provided they are not visible from any public roadway or neighboring 305 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:56,000 property line and the owner has obtained a valid permit for the from the 306 00:29:53,760 --> 00:30:03,520 community development director or his or her designate. Two temporary permits 307 00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:09,200 temporary permits would may be issued for temporary use of a shipping 308 00:30:05,279 --> 00:30:14,960 container i.e. ConX box in any zoning district. The temporary permit shall be 309 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:18,960 valid for a period of 90 days unless extended in writing by the community 310 00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:21,960 development officer or his or her designate. 311 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:29,039 Okay. We came up with the 90day deal. The county attorney has done some 312 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:35,919 research, looked at some other places and and u what' you tell me 30 to 60 313 00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:40,559 days is what most county governments are using on this. I have no problem with 314 00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:46,240 90. I'm just saying that we my point in 315 00:30:43,039 --> 00:30:51,600 saying that is we are going at least 30 days if not 60 days for most of the 316 00:30:49,679 --> 00:30:56,559 other counties that have addressed this according to Miss Grayson told me that 317 00:30:54,159 --> 00:31:01,360 this afternoon. So we we are a little more lenient in 318 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:06,480 most of our stuff than most counties are. For example, in land use planning, 319 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:11,520 if you go to McDuffy or some of the other counties that that do it, you got 320 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:15,679 to have five acres in an agricultural zone to do anything. Lincoln County, we 321 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:20,240 we the least amount. We have 2 and 1/2 acres. 322 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:25,840 This is this is something that is being addressed 323 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:30,720 because it is not a real big it's not an epidemic today, 324 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:35,360 but if we don't address it, it's going to be an epidemic. And I don't want to 325 00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:40,720 see Lincoln County look like landfills in most places. And 326 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:45,200 as long as I'm here and as long as I can get two votes, it ain't going to look 327 00:31:42,159 --> 00:31:48,799 that way. I think that we're doing what we have to do. And you know, I saw a 328 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:53,679 little saying the other day and I sort of liked it. I might read it again next 329 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:58,799 week when we vote. The decisions we make today will shape what this county should 330 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:03,679 look like and feel like for decades to come. Ladies and gentlemen, that's what 331 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:06,559 we doing. Naturally, you're going to have some 332 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:11,360 people that don't want us to do anything. 333 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:15,600 That's not the way it's it's it's going to be the way it hadn't been. It's not 334 00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:19,360 where it's going to be. These containers, there's a there's a need for 335 00:32:17,679 --> 00:32:24,000 them. I know they in they're very inexpensive compared to some things. 336 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:28,799 There are some places that they need to go. There are some places they don't 337 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:34,240 need to go. A3 is one of them. And um 338 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,600 this will be on the website. You I encourage anyone to go and read it and 339 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:41,840 look at it. I appreciate the encouragement of the people that we have 340 00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:46,799 on this and the abandonment vehicle that we just that we just done last month. 341 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:50,880 Some things need to be done. I hope we can go by and not do anything, but we 342 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:55,760 got very few sections on a county code compared to other counties even our 343 00:32:53,039 --> 00:33:00,799 size. We don't do we don't do a whole lot in 344 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:05,840 24 years. How many have we done? Done two this year. Three. 345 00:33:03,679 --> 00:33:11,919 General Assembly does thousands. Every year they go to Atlanta. They passing 346 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:16,880 laws. A county ordinance is a law. I don't expect everybody to like what we 347 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:20,320 do. I know they don't. Some things we don't all agree to in 348 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:25,440 life. But some things is inevitable. Some 349 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:31,360 things have to be done to keep a community looking like it looks. We can 350 00:33:29,279 --> 00:33:35,120 turn it loose and get in your car ride west. 351 00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:40,399 And we we just this group of commissioners don't feel like that we're 352 00:33:37,679 --> 00:33:45,919 going to turn this county a loose for people to do any and everything they 353 00:33:42,159 --> 00:33:51,200 want to do. Mr. Grant, I'm talking so you've had your talk. 354 00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:54,480 So, you know, we're not trying to just come 355 00:33:52,720 --> 00:34:00,720 up here and push something down somebody's throat 356 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:05,760 that that they want to do. So, so, you know, I feel like, and I can speak just 357 00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:11,520 for me, that we're doing what needs to be done to protect the integrity of this 358 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:17,200 county and that's what we feel like we need to 359 00:34:13,919 --> 00:34:21,599 do. So, you know, it's a lot of support. the abandoned vehicles. We had 30 or 40 360 00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:25,760 people in here the other week, a few months ago 361 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:32,320 and they should come. I welcome people to come. And what did we do? 362 00:34:29,119 --> 00:34:38,320 We made some changes and listen to what they had to say. Had nobody come here, 363 00:34:35,359 --> 00:34:42,399 we would have passed the original. But because some people did come and 364 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:46,560 some some people that really made a difference came and sit down and talk to 365 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:50,560 me for 45 minutes. and I know the commissioner Antonus 366 00:34:48,720 --> 00:34:54,800 and it made a lot of difference and it opened some eyes and we made some 367 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:58,480 changes. We're not always right and sometimes when you pass these things 368 00:34:56,720 --> 00:35:02,079 even though we think they right when we did it two or three years from now it 369 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:05,079 might not be right. It might have to be revisited. 370 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:12,880 But we're not up here just trying to aggravate and make people mad and do 371 00:35:09,839 --> 00:35:17,359 whatever Facebook says we doing. We're trying to do what what we think is best 372 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:21,359 for this county and it's a lot of support for some of 373 00:35:19,599 --> 00:35:26,000 the things that we do that don't come to this. I asked some of them, come to the 374 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:29,839 meeting, go to the microphone and tell it, "No, we're not going up and do that. 375 00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:36,560 We just want you to know you support." I got seven, eight of them on my phone. I 376 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:41,839 kept. But if if if you know, it's easy not to do anything. Just sit up here and 377 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:46,400 don't do nothing. We all make the same amount of money if we don't. 378 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:52,240 But sometime you have to take tag by the tail. have to do what you feel like in 379 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:58,720 your heart is the best thing to do for Lincoln County today and for tomorrow. 380 00:35:55,119 --> 00:36:04,320 And that's all we trying to do. And and you know, I know everybody don't 381 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,480 like it. I mean, I don't like everything we do. A lot of times it don't ever 382 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:13,920 reach this place. A lot of things a lot of things we talk 383 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:17,839 about it never gets this far because it it first of all I ain't going 384 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,320 to have three votes if it did. I'm not going to put something on the agenda 385 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:27,040 that I don't think I can get past. I'd be a fool to do that. So I got a one 386 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:34,079 grandchild and he's 13th birthday tonight at 6:30 and I'm sitting up here 387 00:36:29,359 --> 00:36:39,680 so I need to hush. But anyway, that um that's just the way I feel and I express 388 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:43,839 pretty well the way I feel and I'm w anybody's welcome to call and talk to 389 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:48,920 any of us, but I'll be glad to talk to anybody about any of this stuff that we 390 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,920 do. 391 00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:57,520 This will be considered the first reading and it will be on the agenda for 392 00:36:54,320 --> 00:37:02,480 the second and final reading. Madame clerk see to it that the comm community 393 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:07,040 that u information technology department media 394 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:11,280 department puts this on the agenda as soon as I mean on the website as soon as 395 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:18,280 possible. Item nine is a 396 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,280 moratorum 397 00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:24,200 that we are asking for on data centers. 398 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:32,720 Nobody has contacted me and I have asked the other four commissioners. Nobody has 399 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:38,280 contacted them on data centers or they hadn't last 400 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,280 week. Have you since 401 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:48,800 what this is simply doing and what we are trying to do 402 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:56,040 is to put something in place to be sure that we have 403 00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:56,040 ordinances in place to 404 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:04,960 do what need what we feel like and I think the people feel like we need to do 405 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:12,240 on data centers. This is not saying that we are for data centers or we are 406 00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:17,760 against data centers. I haven't completely made up my mind as to how I 407 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:23,440 felt feel. But I can tell you in the last few weeks 408 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:29,359 that I have done a lot more studying, a lot more listening to other county 409 00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:35,440 commission meetings on video and talking to commissioners in counties that have 410 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:41,119 already done it like Colombia and some that are in the process of 411 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:46,880 looking or being asked to do it. I don't know if we will ever be asked, but what 412 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:53,119 I don't want to do is to not know be sure that we got 413 00:38:49,839 --> 00:38:57,839 everything in ordinance 34, which is the one we deal with mostly, and that's the 414 00:38:54,880 --> 00:39:03,599 land use, to be sure that we have the right type of zoning. I know some places 415 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:07,440 have not had that in place. And when you don't have something in place, you can 416 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:11,440 come do anything. You can bring any if you don't have 417 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:15,119 something in place, you can bring a anything you want to a county that don't 418 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:19,280 have it. Christine, you thought I was going to say what I said the other 419 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:25,119 night, didn't you? But I didn't. But but you can you can bring anything you want 420 00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:29,160 to without some. So what we're asking is that we put a moratorum 421 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:37,200 on for basically 120 days or until December the 422 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:44,560 31st. We feel like December the 31st for the 423 00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:48,880 next 120 days. I talked to the county attorney that we can come up with a 424 00:39:47,119 --> 00:39:53,440 ordinance that governs 425 00:39:51,040 --> 00:40:00,320 data centers similar to what we did a couple of years ago that governs 426 00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:03,839 uh solar panels, solar farms. So, this this is what we're doing. We're 427 00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:07,680 going to look at it. We're going to try to have something 428 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:11,520 if we could have something prior to that, we could go ahead with the 429 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:18,880 ordinance. If we don't, we can extend it if we don't have it. 430 00:40:13,599 --> 00:40:24,560 It might be an extension probably will because she has got to get all of this 431 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:30,440 prepared and ready. We already looking at some other counties what they have 432 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,440 done 433 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:38,960 and once we do it it takes two months again. So she that that's the reason 434 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:45,280 with 90 days she doesn't have a 30 days to get something done. So, we could be 435 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:51,520 back here in December or or so and and extend this a little while. It's no 436 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:56,000 question we can have the ordinance done before then, but to go through the 437 00:40:53,359 --> 00:40:59,920 two-month process that it takes with your first and second readings, it might 438 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:07,599 take a little longer. So, we are going to propose that we do a 439 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:13,119 resolution and I'm going to ask the county clerk, I mean the county 440 00:41:09,839 --> 00:41:18,520 attorney if she will to start reading the resolution. The resolution number is 441 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,520 2026-09-08-14. 442 00:41:22,319 --> 00:41:28,960 This is a resolution that will allow us to do this. I'm not going to read it in 443 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:34,240 its entirety because this resolution is about as long as I've ever seen one. 444 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:38,800 It's pretty long, but it will go on the website in the ne tomorrow or the next 445 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:44,480 day. It'll be on the website for people to be 446 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:49,680 able to read, but it just simply says we we will we got the moratorum. We won't 447 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:55,839 be issued any permits. And it gives us the legal right not to until we get this 448 00:41:52,720 --> 00:42:01,359 in place. Clerk, I mean, uh, Madame Attorney, you can read the resolution. 449 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:04,359 Resolution number 2026 090814. 450 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:11,440 A resolution of the board of commissioners of Lincoln County, 451 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:17,440 Georgia, enacting a temporary moratorum barring the acceptance of and action 452 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:23,440 upon applications for reszoning, special use or conditional use permits, 453 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:30,480 variances, site plans, land disturbance permits, building permits, development 454 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:36,400 permits, business licenses, certificates of occupancy, or other approvals that 455 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:41,440 propose and whole or in part the placement, sighting, construction, 456 00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:46,560 establishment, expansion, or operation of data centers within the county so as 457 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:51,839 to allow the county time to study, develop, and consider the adoption of an 458 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:56,560 ordinance regulating data centers, to provide for severability to repeal 459 00:42:54,160 --> 00:43:02,560 conflicting resolutions, to provide an effective date and termination date, and 460 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,760 for other lawful purposes.

But it is December the 31st, 2026. 466 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:37,520 That's what we're using, not number of days. this more terms in place until 467 00:43:33,359 --> 00:43:41,160 December the 31st, 2026.

Um, 715 01:03:30,799 --> 01:03:39,200 last the month I gave you was approximately $300,000 across the state 716 01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:42,559 that was lost uh to those funds.

Direct 723 01:04:11,119 --> 01:04:16,240 Seymour. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, this 724 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:22,799 is an item that we we talked about at the um work session last week. Um and 725 01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:28,640 and so we're having some issues with some um unwanted um grasses on our 726 01:04:26,319 --> 01:04:33,119 rightway that cause some problems throughout the year like Johnson grass 727 01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:38,720 and those that grow uh exponentially high uh in between cutting. So, we're 728 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:43,920 looking at ways to try to mitigate some of that and and one of the ways is is 729 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:48,240 doing roadside spraying similar to what uh the state highway department does. 730 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:52,960 And so, what I'm presenting to you tonight, Mr. Chairman, is um is is a 731 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:58,319 spraying in the fall and then a spraying in the spring. Um that amount is 732 01:04:55,440 --> 01:05:05,280 $24,345.36 per spring. Um, and um, 733 01:05:03,039 --> 01:05:09,599 you know, like I said, we we we spoke about this. I think um, Commissioner 734 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:12,960 Taxley had some questions about the the chemicals that we're spraying. I think I 735 01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:18,400 provided that. I think you have those in your books as well. Um, but that's it, 736 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:23,520 Mr. Chairman. Okay. We talked about this the other 737 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:30,880 day, too, and agreed to put it on the agenda. You've heard the request. 738 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:36,079 The motion will be to amend the contract with American Eagle for rightway 739 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:42,240 maintenance to include herbicide spraying to and control the 740 01:05:39,359 --> 01:05:49,119 growth rate of vegetation of county roads, rideways, 741 01:05:45,359 --> 01:05:55,920 bridges, guard rails for the fall and spring mower mowing 742 01:05:52,160 --> 01:06:00,960 cycles in the amount of up to $47,000 be paid from T Splash. This is uh 743 01:05:58,799 --> 01:06:10,119 $24,345 per spraying. 744 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:10,119 That is the motion. We'll go to a U. 745 01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:17,680 I might be putting this before I'm supposed to. 746 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:22,559 When does this when does this when does I should do this on a discussion, but 747 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:26,799 when is the mowing for the fall? This is fall and spring. When is the fall 748 01:06:24,559 --> 01:06:29,839 spraying? When would they begin the fall spraying? Is it 749 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:33,520 » that they'll start the the fall cutting in October and then they would do the 750 01:06:31,599 --> 01:06:39,520 spring after that cutting? >> Okay. All right. Is there a motion? 751 01:06:38,319 --> 01:06:42,640 » Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make >> Commissioner Anthony, 752 01:06:40,799 --> 01:06:48,240 » I'd like to make a motion or request a motion that we table this until maybe 753 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:54,079 our next call meeting. Um there were a few questions amongst the board um right 754 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:58,960 before we sat down um just to get clarification maybe. So I'd like to make 755 01:06:56,720 --> 01:07:03,760 a motion that we table this until our next call meeting. 756 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:08,240 » We have a motion to table this until the call meeting. I believe that's on the 757 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:10,799 21st. Is that right? Oh, we could do this at the October meeting because 758 01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:15,599 they're not going to spray it before their October meeting, would they? 759 01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:21,440 » No, sir. That suit you as well? >> Okay. We we have a motion to table this 760 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:25,599 until the October BC meeting, regular meeting. Is there a second to the 761 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,119 motion? >> Second. 762 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:36,160 » Okay. Motion's made by Commissioner Anthony, second by Commissioner Bogsdale 763 01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:41,839 to table to the October meeting. Any discussion? 764 01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:45,119 Okay. I think the herbicides and all came in and you emailed that. 765 01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,119 Yes, I believe >> Commissioner Tankersly. All the 766 01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:51,760 commissioners >> I I I emailed them to Commissioner 767 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:55,520 Tankersley, but I think u Miss Miss McCller put it in all of their books, so 768 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,240 they all have a copy of >> Okay, y'all all have a copy of what he 769 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:02,400 said. >> All right. If you have any if you have 770 01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:07,520 any questions in between now and next October, 771 01:08:05,039 --> 01:08:11,440 talk to Director Seymour or we can have it on our work session agenda. All in 772 01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:16,159 favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I. I. All oppose. Light sign. 773 01:08:14,559 --> 01:08:23,560 Motion's carried. Director McKlly, if you will make a note, this will go back 774 01:08:17,679 --> 01:08:23,560 on the agendas for October. Yes, sir. 775 01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:31,600 » Item 18 is new air conditioning units for the courthouse. Director Seymour, I 776 01:08:29,440 --> 01:08:35,359 don't believe you need one in here now. Believe it work. 777 01:08:33,440 --> 01:08:40,159 » Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. Actually, there are there are four units that operate 778 01:08:37,359 --> 01:08:43,920 this upstairs. U just for clarification, there are two 5-tonon units that operate 779 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:48,080 the room that we're in now. And then there's a 4-tonon that operates the 780 01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:52,159 judge's chambers and and the um the front office and then a second 4 ton 781 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:55,759 that operates this side. This side is completely out right now. 782 01:08:53,759 --> 01:08:58,640 » So what you're telling me is that where I'm cold now hadn't got anything to do 783 01:08:57,440 --> 01:09:01,920 with what you asking for. >> That is correct, Mr. Chairman. I'm also 784 01:09:00,480 --> 01:09:05,279 saying that if you're cold, if you want to step into the grand jury room, it 785 01:09:03,839 --> 01:09:11,279 won't take but a minute for you to warm up. Um, so we had a lightning strike um 786 01:09:08,799 --> 01:09:17,040 that caused damage to the two 4-tonon units that are on the outsides. Uh, 787 01:09:13,759 --> 01:09:22,799 we've had the um insurance adjuster come up, take pictures. Uh, and so what we're 788 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:27,600 asking for is um approval to to spend $22,200 789 01:09:25,199 --> 01:09:34,560 uh to replace the two 4 ton units up here. Um, we did, like I said, we did do 790 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:41,199 a um a insurance claim. um that deductible is $2,500 and it is full 791 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:47,040 replacement so it won't be um adjusted out. So we should get the majority of it 792 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:51,279 back less than $2,500 but we have to have a motion by this board to spend the 793 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:54,880 22,200 initially and then get reimbured by the 794 01:09:53,679 --> 01:09:59,600 insurance company. >> Is that take is this is that taken care 795 01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:02,080 with the same insurance the one that was blown out with 796 01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:05,199 » that is correct and I'm waiting on a I'm waiting on a price. We we've already had 797 01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:11,120 somebody come out and take all the measurements. Uh and that is the um 798 01:10:08,239 --> 01:10:15,120 window in front of the bell tower up top. It blew it completely out at the 799 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:19,280 same time. We had glass all out in the front yard. Um so I'm waiting on a price 800 01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:23,040 to get back from that. >> That would be in this that was filed 801 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,520 with the same insurance coverage. So the $2,500 duck will take care of both of 802 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:29,679 them. >> That is correct. It is it is the same 803 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:33,360 claim. Yes, sir. >> All right. You heard the report. We 804 01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:38,960 talked about this. I think last week at the session work session. I'm asking for 805 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:45,280 a motion to approve replacing two 4tonon heating and air 806 01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:51,360 conditioning units in the upstairs office and grand jury room in the amount 807 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:56,159 of $22,200. And this will come from Splash 2. You 808 01:10:54,320 --> 01:11:06,520 heard what he said about the insurance and hopefully it'll just be 2500 809 01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:06,520 uh on the deductible with this. Um 810 01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:12,400 » is there a motion? >> So move, Mr. Chairman. 811 01:11:10,239 --> 01:11:16,880 » Second. >> Motion by Commissioner Tangsley. Second 812 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:20,560 by com I mean a motion made by Commissioner Antonaka. Second by 813 01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:24,480 Commissioner Tanks. Any discussion on the motion? Our 814 01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:28,080 chairman, I see we got we >> Commissioner Boxdale 815 01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:32,320 » from uh your plumbing. >> Yes, ma'am. It our second quote came in 816 01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:34,320 after the work session. Yes, ma'am. >> It was high though, wasn't it? 817 01:11:33,440 --> 01:11:39,199 » It was. Yes, sir. >> Okay. 818 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:44,960 Any other discussion? Let me make one comment on this. The that is not just 819 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:49,840 for two 4tonon air condition. They would be quite that 820 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:55,280 much. But cranes have got to come in and set 821 01:11:52,320 --> 01:12:00,960 up and be able to remove those two that are up there and put the other two back 822 01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:05,520 up there. So that's what made the cost go up as much as it did. So I just want 823 01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:09,920 to be clear that's not just two four ton als 824 01:12:07,679 --> 01:12:12,960 cranes and all the involved. All in favor of the motion let it be known 825 01:12:11,199 --> 01:12:19,840 saying I. I. >> All oppose like sign motion's carried. 826 01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:24,640 Uh Eddie Fletcher Park is in the 827 01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:30,080 administrative feed director Seymour. >> Yes, sir.

And 830 01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:46,159 so the core of engineers have um has have asked that we pay an administrative 831 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:51,040 fee of $3,498.34 cents for the renewal of that contract. 832 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:56,159 This is not a fee that we have had to pay in the past. I do not believe 833 01:12:54,000 --> 01:13:01,120 » that's not unusual for the CO either. They do it and that's what it is and 834 01:12:59,120 --> 01:13:04,239 that's really all we pay them for that. >> It is. Yes, sir. That's the only fees 835 01:13:02,719 --> 01:13:09,840 involved. Yes, sir. >> Okay. You heard the 836 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:16,960 recommendation. I ask for a motion to approve the payment of $3,498.34 837 01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:21,600 for administrative expense incurred with the United States Army Corps of 838 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:25,000 Engineers Vetty Fletcher Park. Lease number DACW21-1-26-0047. 839 01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:34,719 This will be paid from the recreation department general fund. Is there a 840 01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:38,480 motion? >> Second.
