[0:19] At this time, I call the September
meeting of the county commission to
[0:24] order.
We have with us tonight Miss Britt
[0:28] Madison
McKini
[0:32] who attends the Goan Baptist Church as
well as other places. She does a lot of
[0:37] motivational and a lot of speaking. If
your church
[0:42] some women's group would like to have
us, you'd be glad to come. She didn't
[0:46] tell me to announce that, so she might
tell me I talk too much. But uh Miss
[0:52] McKenna, we glad to have you to give our
win. invocation. After the invocation,
[0:56] we'll remain standing for the pledge of
allegiance flag led by Commissioner
[1:00] Tankley.
>> Thank you for inviting me. Let us pray.
[1:06] Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing
us together to get today and for giving
[1:10] us this opportunity to serve the people
of Lincoln County. We are thankful for
[1:15] this community that we get to call home.
There's a shared pride in being part of
[1:20] Lincoln County, a pride in our families,
our neighbors, our traditions, and the
[1:25] people who continue to make this a
special place to live. Thank you for our
[1:31] sense of community that remains that we
are not just residents, but neighbors
[1:36] who care about one another. We ask you
to be with us in this meeting. Give our
[1:41] commissioners wisdom as they make
decisions that affect our community.
[1:45] Help them to listen well, speak with
respect, and always keep the best
[1:50] interest of Lincoln County and its
people at heart. When decisions are
[1:54] difficult, give them clarity. When there
are differences of opinion, give them
[1:59] patience and understanding. Help
everyone in this room work together with
[2:03] honesty, integrity, and a spirit of
unity. We pray for each of our families,
[2:10] our schools, our businesses, our
churches, our first responders, and
[2:15] everyone who calls Lincoln County home.
Help us continue to take pride in where
[2:21] we live and even more importantly to
take responsibility for making it a
[2:25] place where people are proud to live,
work, and raise their families. Lord,
[2:30] remind us that leadership is an
opportunity to serve others. Guide the
[2:34] commissioners today. Give them courage
to do what is right and help all of us
[2:38] remember that we are working toward the
same goal, a strong, caring, and united
[2:43] Lincoln County. We trust you with this
meeting and the decisions that will be
[2:47] made in Jesus name. Amen.
>> Amen.
[2:52] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America and to the
[2:58] republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and
[3:05] justice for all.
[3:13] » Thank you again, Miss McKini.
[3:18] At this time, we're going to recognize
the
[3:22] employee of the quarter, which we
started this year in January. This is
[3:27] our third
recognition of a county employee.
[3:35] This lady has I don't want to say too
much because it's on the plaque that
[3:38] we're going to give her, but she's been
with the county for a long time.
[3:43] I think some 16 years, I believe. that
she served in a very important role
[3:51] as one of our 911 communication
officers. They have a tremendous and a
[3:58] stressful job out there, but they do a
good job. And we are fortunate in our
[4:04] small rural county to have the
facilities and the dedication of the
[4:09] employees. I think it's nine employees
out there all together. eight
[4:14] dispatches. The director ACOK is the
director of communications, which she
[4:20] has to do a little dispatching from time
to time when it gets gets busy herself.
[4:26] Miss Crawford, if you would, I'm going
to ask you to come over to this podium.
[4:29] Director AOK, if you would come with her
while they coming over here. I know I
[4:34] recognize some of our communication
officers. Would some of you stand up,
[4:38] our officers?
[4:42] Yeah, y'all got a good-looking bunch of
folks.
[4:46] Thank you all for what you do. Y'all are
integral part of the public safety of
[4:50] our county and the
million or so that come into our county
[4:54] every year. Thank you all for what you
do.
[5:28] Okay. Again, we have Tama Crawford
who is the employee of the quarter
[5:35] and we will be presenting her with a
nice looking plaque and it reads
[5:41] presented to Tama Crawford, employee of
the quarter. Tama has been employed as a
[5:49] 911 communications officer with Lincoln
County for 16 years. That's almost two
[5:55] decades you working on.
She is a motivated, efficient, calm, and
[6:01] compassionate 911 dispatcher.
She was promoted to communications
[6:08] supervisor in 2024.
Her approach is simple. Officer safety
[6:15] is priority and the citizens of Lincoln
County are heard.
[6:21] I'm going to present this to you.
Who's taking these pictures?
[6:30] Well, I won't know which way to look.
Okay, we will get up and get another one
[6:34] with the commissioners if you would. I
know you want to have something to say.
[6:38] When you get through, you can say
[6:49] good evening everybody.
>> I'm honored to be your employee of the
[6:53] quarter. Thank you all who voted for me
and making this possible. Out of my 16
[6:58] years of service, this is a new
highlight and milestone in my career
[7:02] here with Lincoln County E91
Communications as the dispatch
[7:06] supervisor.
First, I would like to give thanks to
[7:10] our heavenly father. Without faith in
him, nothing would be possible.
[7:15] Secondly, I'd like to thank my children,
family, and friends. It takes my village
[7:20] and each role they have played and
continue to play in my 16 years. so
[7:25] grateful for the ones who were able to
come out and show their support. I
[7:29] appreciate each of you dearly,
as well as the ones that couldn't make
[7:34] it. Lastly, thank you to my amazing
director, to my awesome dispatchers who
[7:39] make up our team of nine. Chairman
Walker for trusting and believing in our
[7:43] department, our IT department for
keeping us connected,
[7:48] every county department throughout the
county, which is we serve and their
[7:52] personnel. Most of all, thank you to our
beautiful community, which is the reason
[7:56] I serve and continue to serve. This is
our This is no, there is no other county
[8:01] like my hometown of Lincoln, Georgia.
Again, thank you.
[8:06] » Thank you.
[8:17] Very short and sweet. Tama has been here
for 16 years. I hope she's here for 16
[8:23] more. She is the backbone of the 911
center and we could not do it without
[8:27] her and I appreciate her every day.
Thank you.
[8:50] her family.
[8:54] » It doesn't matter.
>> We're good.
[8:56] » Oh, we get close together.
>> Yeah, I get close together.
[9:01] I thought you said
[9:28] we didn't go down there.
[9:53] There you go.
[9:56] All
[10:17] right, everybody look this way. One,
two, three. Smile. Smile. Smile. That's
[10:22] it.

We have the item five is the approval of
[12:13] the minutes of the previous meetings.

[12:19] approved as sent to you?

[13:03] 7A is the office of emergency services
director Jay Doss.
[13:13] Good evening, commissioners and Mr.
Chairman. Y'all have the month reports
[13:16] for August. Uh the format was changed a
little bit. The state system would not
[13:22] pull all the calls over, so I had to
manually put each one in for you. Are
[13:26] there any questions on the reports?
>> Any questions? Director to Jay Doss.
[13:33] I'm just curious
>> to miss out.
[13:35] » Just curious how things are going since
you've stepped into your new role.
[13:39] » It's been pretty busy, but things are
going really, really good.
[13:42] » Good. Thank you for all you do.
>> Thank you.
[13:46] » Okay. Thank you.
>> Yes, sir.
[13:49] 7B is recreation director Glaze is not
here. Soccer started tonight
[13:56] out at the complex and that's where he
is course for the next few months we
[14:00] probably won't see him. you do have his
written report in your books
[14:05] and I believe he told me that we had a
roughly 200 people that registered for
[14:11] the soccer program and as I said that
that began tonight at 6:00
[14:18] basketball registration will begin
October the 1st
[14:22] and this year they will also
uh be trying to have cheerleaders
[14:30] for the basket basketball games. That
will be something that we haven't done
[14:34] in the past. So hopefully we will start
having cheerleaders maybe a good many of
[14:40] our our activities.
Eddie Fletcher Park that something about
[14:46] that will come up on the agenda a little
later, but Eddie Fletcher Park closed
[14:53] Friday se will close Friday, September
the 11th.
[14:58] uh at the end of the day it will be the
gates will be locked and that will be
[15:03] closed
uh next week for the season.
[15:07] We have are leaving the splash pad open
until weather cools down a little bit.
[15:13] There's a lot of activities going on out
there. Probably close to a thousand
[15:18] people out there one night last week. Um
and the some of the children enjoyed the
[15:24] splash pad. So, we decided to leave it
open until the weather dictates
[15:28] something different on that. 7C, if you
have any questions, you can just ask
[15:34] director Glaze. 7C is finance.
Commissioner Doll Eds.
[15:39] Chairman, commissioners, you have our
finance reports. Um, if there's no
[15:43] question, and when you're ready, I will
give you the cash balances.
[15:47] » Any questions? You may proceed.
Chairman, commissioners, uh the cash
[15:52] balances for the month ending August
31st, 2026. I'll just read the major
[15:56] funds. Uh the general fund, $2,824,592.
[16:03] The general fund emergency fund,
$324,916.
[16:09] the property tax reduction
local option sales tax one I apologize
[16:17] $626,14182
[16:21] I will let you know that we have uh
written the $42,000 check to the general
[16:26] fund for this year so that that fund is
actually less than that we
[16:32] uh the spe special purpose local option
sales tax fund 7 3,267,4
[16:38] 400. The transportation special purpose
local option sales tax fund 2 million
[16:45] 200 excuse me 2,390,5259.
[16:50] The water reserve fund 264,265
and the solid waste fund $819,56.
[16:58] The total of cash in all of our accounts
at the end of August of 20 August 31st
[17:03] of 2026
was $10,222,771.
[17:10] Our Raymond James investment accounts,
our CDs, $1,610,96.
[17:16] Our Raymond James enhanced savings
account, $567,03.
[17:21] The total in our investment accounts at
the end of August was 20 two,177,99.
[17:29] A total cash and cash equivalence at the
end of August of 2026 was 12,398,681.
[17:39] Any questions? Director Doss.
[17:44] Okay. I want you to know that some of
this will be being spent. So, some of
[17:49] the reasons we got some of this money
that's as much as it is particularly in
[17:54] T-plot
is the fact that we didn't get any roads
[18:00] resurfaced last year.
Um, it it wasn't our fault. It was a
[18:06] rock fault with the staylight that we
were trying to get and they couldn't get
[18:09] it in time for us to be able to use it.
Uh hopefully, I'm not trying to take
[18:14] director Seymour's talk, but hopefully
that's going to happen in the next few
[18:19] weeks and we will be doing all the roads
you previously approved. But uh we're
[18:26] doing somewhere probably around 15 miles
or so of resurfacing.
[18:31] And um
and then we again still have trouble
[18:36] with with some potholes. That's that's
really expensive to do. and Count Daniel
[18:43] Marshall Road. That's probably going to
be what $300 or so,000
[18:48] project we doing down there. And that's
just that's not completely resurfacing
[18:52] it either. We would double that if we
were doing it all. So, we might finish
[18:56] that on next year, but we're going to
take care of those of those bad places
[19:00] down there. Any other questions,
Director Doss?
[19:05] If not, we'll move to 7D.
Community Development Director Seymour.
[19:14] » Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, members of the
board, you have my written reports. I do
[19:18] have a couple of updates, um,
departmental updates. Um, but I'll
[19:23] entertain any questions you have on my
reports before I give you a couple of
[19:27] updates.
[19:30] Any questions? Director Doss.
I mean, Seymour shaking that head. I
[19:37] see. I don't blame you,
>> Mr. Chairman.
[19:40] » Commissioner Tax,
>> year to date on new single family homes.
[19:45] How are we comparing to last year's time
>> to last year's? We're a little bit
[19:51] behind, but we are seeing a little bit
of an increase. Last two months, it's
[19:55] increased a little bit. So, we're going
to be right in line with where we were
[19:59] last year based on my projections.
>> What was the total last year? I believe
[20:04] it was uh 62 64
>> 62 or 64.
[20:09] » Yeah.
>> And we still got what five months
[20:14] » Yeah.
>> left to go. So hopefully we were down a
[20:17] little bit last year from what we were
the year before that. Yes.
[20:20] » But but this year
>> we hoping it's going to be at least what
[20:24] it was last year, but it is down. It's
slowed down a little bit. But I can tell
[20:29] you that the price um the price of
building those homes has escalated from
[20:34] what it was last year as well. So even
if we're down a little bit, I think the
[20:39] total amount added to the digest is
going to be close
[20:42] » close to the same if not more based on
the prices I've been seeing.
[20:48] Any other questions to director Seymour?
You do also have, and we don't we don't
[20:56] put these on, but you do have some
reports from the E911,
[21:01] uh, the and the county agent. So,
you can look at them. Okay, that
[21:07] concludes our departmental reports.
At this time, we're down to item eight,
[21:17] which is a public hearing. Is there a
motion that we go into our public
[21:20] hearing?
>> So move, Mr.
[21:23] Second
>> second
[21:26] » motion by Commissioner Tangsley, second
by Commissioner Antonakis to go into our
[21:30] public hearing. We are now in our public
hearing. Director Seymour.
[21:35] » Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, um on August the
31st, the planning commission held
[21:40] » I'm sorry you didn't call for a vote.
>> I didn't.
[21:43] » No sir.
>> Good gracious. All in favor of the
[21:46] motion let be known saying I.
>> All oppose like sign. Motion's carried.
[21:50] Now you can proceed. Yes, sir. Mr.
Chairman, on August 31st, the planning
[21:55] commission held a um meeting in a public
hearing uh to discuss um chapter 34 of
[22:02] the land development code, specifically
accessory structures. Uh we held that
[22:07] meeting um
Monday night and um discussed it. I
[22:14] think we had uh one one resident that
showed that that came and and voiced his
[22:19] concerns. Um and so, Mr. Chairman, my
board recommends approval of that change
[22:26] uh unanimously
[22:31] and it's actually specific to 34-522.1
accessory structures. And uh we're
[22:38] making a text change basically adding a
a section to it that would um that would
[22:44] control
um storage containers, conx boxes um as
[22:51] use of um storage containers in A1 and
A2's own zone districts. Mr. Chairman.
[23:01] Okay.
[23:04] Is there we are in the public hearing.
Is there anyone here that'd like to
[23:08] speak on the So, Mr. Grant, I know you
do. Come forward. State your name and
[23:12] address.
[23:20] Name is Greg Grant, 1056 Feaster Lake.
Good evening, commissioners.
[23:25] Prohibiting shipping containers in the
A3 district while allowing them with
[23:30] screening in the A1 and A2 districts is
illogical. Property owners in the A3
[23:35] district have just as much a need for
safe, secure, and affordable structures
[23:38] as A1 and A2 property owners. Rural law
enforcement cannot be everywhere. A
[23:44] solid steel container offers a level of
theft protection that standard sheds
[23:49] simply cannot match. Building a
traditional structure with equivalent
[23:54] security and durable and is durable can
cost upwards of $20,000.
[24:00] an unnecessary financial burden on
property owners seeking basic utilities.
[24:06] Local government authority exists to
protect public health, safety, and
[24:10] general welfare. A container hidden from
p public view and neighboring properties
[24:15] threatens none of these. Regulating
unseen, harmless structures is a clear
[24:20] government overreach. I ask that you
align the A3 regulations with A1 and A2
[24:26] by allowing shipping containers subject
to reasonable setbacks and screening
[24:30] standards. This balanced approach
protects property rights and personal
[24:34] investments while
addressing visual concerns. Thank you.
[24:40] » Thank you.
Anyone else who would like to speak? Mr.
[24:44] Gray, state your name and address.
[24:59] Good evening, Commissioner.
>> Good evening,
[25:02] » Hal Gray, 2573 Salem Church Road.
[25:09] There's an an associated
act or
[25:14] or source of funding that seems to be
tied into this kind of behind the
[25:18] scenes.
Last year, I guess a floating local
[25:22] option sales tax was approved. That
basically uh mirror images the first one
[25:29] local option sales tax. This usually
goes to the general fund of the county.
[25:35] And uh one of the conditions I saw in
the information I saw from Georgia Tech
[25:42] said that uh one of the it's not a
precondition. I don't know which one
[25:47] would come first, the chicken or the egg
in this case, but it said that
[25:51] ordinances needed to be brought up
today. So I don't know how that relates
[25:55] to this action tonight because that I
understand it. I can see it when I go to
[25:59] the store. my tax rate went up 9% first
of the year. So I guess the thing that I
[26:06] guess I would say is since you got this
real bounty in terms of sales tax
[26:11] collections to you know to catch up
things like uh I think the unfunded
[26:17] pensions of the of the county
governments like 1.4 million and that
[26:22] certainly needs to be you know brought
down. That's that's a pretty serious
[26:26] amount. Uh but in in in
As this ordinance is is not unlike any
[26:35] others because anytime you do a land use
ordinance that
[26:41] conveys benefits to some and denies it
to others, there's a potential for
[26:46] future laws suits and and u conflict.
And I would hope that if uh there comes
[26:54] a conflict under this particular
ordinance, if you if you pass it, that
[26:58] you would uh take into consideration the
the bounty that you got from the
[27:03] floating sales tax and and be a little
bit more lenient uh in the enforcement
[27:08] of this particular ordinance. Thank you.
Thank you.
[27:19] Anyone else would like to speak?
Going once, going twice, closed. Is our
[27:26] motion that we come out of our public
hearing?
[27:32] » I have a motion by Commissioner Boxdale.
Is there a second?
[27:35] » Second.
>> Second by Commissioner Anthony.
[27:39] Any discussion on the motion to come out
of the public I mean
[27:44] come out of the public hearing there
being none. All in favor of the motion
[27:47] let be known say I.
>> All oppose like sign motions carried. We
[27:50] out public hearing. Director Seymour.
>> Yes sir. Mr. Chairman without objection
[27:55] u I'm going to read uh the section that
we're proposing to add.
[27:59] » Let me make a statement.
>> Yes sir.
[28:02] » You can go through the present codes.
online was in section 34 which deals
[28:09] with land use codes that was passed 23
years ago.
[28:15] Section 34-522-1
[28:20] is accessory structures.
It's very short. is only
[28:28] that probably was only a page to begin
with that was passed at the in the
[28:32] inception of this 20
three or four years ago.
[28:39] What we're doing with this is will be
considered the first reading. Then it
[28:44] will be put on the website for the next
month for you to look at and it will
[28:48] come to a vote before the commission at
the October meeting.
[28:54] This is a text change to that ordinance
which is adding what he is fixing to do
[28:59] tonight. The other stuff just deals with
this
[29:03] the other part of this which is about
three or four paragraphs is is what
[29:07] we've been doing all along but it all of
it will be put on the website. What he's
[29:12] doing now is u he goes through A through
F. We adding a G and he will be reading
[29:20] the G.
>> Yes sir, Mr. General G prohibited
[29:24] structures subjects to the provision
contained in one and two below shipping
[29:29] containers i.e. ConX boxes are
prohibited in all zoning districts. A1
[29:36] and A2 districts shipping containers
i.e. ConX boxes are permitted in A1 A2
[29:43] districts provided they are not visible
from any public roadway or neighboring
[29:48] property line and the owner has obtained
a valid permit for the from the
[29:53] community development director or his or
her designate. Two temporary permits
[30:00] temporary permits would may be issued
for temporary use of a shipping
[30:05] container i.e. ConX box in any zoning
district. The temporary permit shall be
[30:11] valid for a period of 90 days unless
extended in writing by the community
[30:17] development officer or his or her
designate.
[30:22] Okay. We came up with the 90day deal.
The county attorney has done some
[30:26] research, looked at some other places
and and u what' you tell me 30 to 60
[30:33] days is what most county governments are
using on this. I have no problem with
[30:38] 90.
I'm just saying that we my point in
[30:43] saying that is we are going at least 30
days if not 60 days for most of the
[30:49] other counties that have addressed this
according to Miss Grayson told me that
[30:54] this afternoon.
So we we are a little more lenient in
[30:59] most of our stuff than most counties
are. For example, in land use planning,
[31:04] if you go to McDuffy or some of the
other counties that that do it, you got
[31:08] to have five acres in an agricultural
zone to do anything. Lincoln County, we
[31:13] we the least amount. We have 2 and 1/2
acres.
[31:17] This is this is something that is being
addressed
[31:22] because it is not a real big it's not an
epidemic today,
[31:28] but if we don't address it, it's going
to be an epidemic. And I don't want to
[31:33] see Lincoln County
look like landfills in most places. And
[31:38] as long as I'm here and as long as I can
get two votes, it ain't going to look
[31:42] that way. I think that we're doing what
we have to do. And you know, I saw a
[31:47] little saying the other day and I sort
of liked it. I might read it again next
[31:50] week when we vote. The decisions we make
today will shape what this county should
[31:56] look like and feel like for decades to
come. Ladies and gentlemen, that's what
[32:00] we doing.
Naturally, you're going to have some
[32:05] people that don't want us to do
anything.
[32:09] That's not the way it's it's it's going
to be the way it hadn't been. It's not
[32:13] where it's going to be. These
containers, there's a there's a need for
[32:17] them. I know they in they're very
inexpensive compared to some things.
[32:22] There are some places that they need to
go. There are some places they don't
[32:25] need to go. A3 is one of them.
And um
[32:31] this will be on the website. You I
encourage anyone to go and read it and
[32:36] look at it. I appreciate the
encouragement of the people that we have
[32:39] on this and the abandonment vehicle that
we just that we just done last month.
[32:44] Some things need to be done. I hope we
can go by and not do anything, but we
[32:48] got very few sections on a county code
compared to other counties even our
[32:53] size.
We don't do we don't do a whole lot in
[32:57] 24 years. How many have we done? Done
two this year. Three.
[33:03] General Assembly does thousands. Every
year they go to Atlanta. They passing
[33:07] laws. A county ordinance is a law. I
don't expect everybody to like what we
[33:14] do. I know they don't.
Some things we don't all agree to in
[33:18] life.
But some things is inevitable. Some
[33:22] things have to be done to keep a
community looking like it looks. We can
[33:29] turn it loose and get in your car ride
west.
[33:33] And we we just this group of
commissioners don't feel like that we're
[33:37] going to turn this county a loose for
people to do any and everything they
[33:42] want to do. Mr. Grant, I'm talking
so you've had your talk.
[33:48] So,
you know, we're not trying to just come
[33:52] up here and push something down
somebody's throat
[33:56] that that they want to do. So, so, you
know, I feel like, and I can speak just
[34:02] for me, that we're doing what needs to
be done to protect the integrity of this
[34:09] county
and that's what we feel like we need to
[34:13] do. So, you know, it's a lot of support.
the abandoned vehicles. We had 30 or 40
[34:19] people in here the other week, a few
months ago
[34:23] and they should come. I welcome people
to come. And what did we do?
[34:29] We made some changes and listen to what
they had to say. Had nobody come here,
[34:35] we would have passed the original.
But because some people did come and
[34:40] some some people that really made a
difference came and sit down and talk to
[34:44] me for 45 minutes. and I know the
commissioner Antonus
[34:48] and it made a lot of difference and it
opened some eyes and we made some
[34:52] changes. We're not always right and
sometimes when you pass these things
[34:56] even though we think they right when we
did it two or three years from now it
[35:00] might not be right. It might have to be
revisited.
[35:06] But we're not up here just trying to
aggravate and make people mad and do
[35:09] whatever Facebook says we doing. We're
trying to do what what we think is best
[35:15] for this county
and it's a lot of support for some of
[35:19] the things that we do that don't come to
this. I asked some of them, come to the
[35:24] meeting, go to the microphone and tell
it, "No, we're not going up and do that.
[35:28] We just want you to know you support." I
got seven, eight of them on my phone. I
[35:31] kept. But if if if you know, it's easy
not to do anything. Just sit up here and
[35:38] don't do nothing. We all make the same
amount of money if we don't.
[35:44] But sometime you have to take tag by the
tail. have to do what you feel like in
[35:48] your heart is the best thing to do for
Lincoln County today and for tomorrow.
[35:55] And that's all we trying to do.
And and you know, I know everybody don't
[36:02] like it. I mean, I don't like everything
we do. A lot of times it don't ever
[36:06] reach this place.
A lot of things a lot of things we talk
[36:10] about it never gets this far
because it it first of all I ain't going
[36:15] to have three votes if it did. I'm not
going to put something on the agenda
[36:18] that I don't think I can get past. I'd
be a fool to do that. So I got a one
[36:24] grandchild and he's 13th birthday
tonight at 6:30 and I'm sitting up here
[36:29] so I need to hush. But anyway, that um
that's just the way I feel and I express
[36:36] pretty well the way I feel and I'm w
anybody's welcome to call and talk to
[36:41] any of us, but I'll be glad to talk to
anybody about any of this stuff that we
[36:45] do.
[36:49] This will be considered the first
reading and it will be on the agenda for
[36:54] the second and final reading. Madame
clerk see to it that the comm community
[36:58] that u
information technology department media
[37:04] department puts this on the agenda as
soon as I mean on the website as soon as
[37:09] possible.
Item nine is a
[37:15] moratorum
[37:19] that we are asking for on data centers.
[37:24] Nobody has contacted me and I have asked
the other four commissioners. Nobody has
[37:30] contacted them
on data centers or they hadn't last
[37:34] week. Have you since
[37:40] what this is simply doing and what we
are trying to do
[37:44] is to put something in place to be sure
that we have
[37:51] ordinances in place to
[37:57] do what need what we feel like and I
think the people feel like we need to do
[38:02] on data centers. This is not saying that
we are for data centers or we are
[38:09] against data centers. I haven't
completely made up my mind as to how I
[38:15] felt feel.
But I can tell you in the last few weeks
[38:19] that I have done a lot more studying,
a lot more listening to other county
[38:25] commission meetings on video and talking
to commissioners in counties that have
[38:31] already done it like Colombia
and some that are in the process of
[38:38] looking or being asked to do it. I don't
know if we will ever be asked, but what
[38:43] I don't want to do
is to not know be sure that we got
[38:49] everything in ordinance 34, which is the
one we deal with mostly, and that's the
[38:54] land use, to be sure that we have the
right type of zoning. I know some places
[39:01] have not had that in place. And when you
don't have something in place, you can
[39:05] come do anything.
You can bring any if you don't have
[39:08] something in place, you can bring a
anything you want to a county that don't
[39:13] have it. Christine, you thought I was
going to say what I said the other
[39:16] night, didn't you? But I didn't. But but
you can you can bring anything you want
[39:21] to without some. So what we're asking is
that we put a moratorum
[39:29] on for
basically 120 days or until December the
[39:34] 31st.
We feel like December the 31st for the
[39:40] next 120 days. I talked to the county
attorney that we can come up with a
[39:47] ordinance
that governs
[39:51] data centers similar to what we did a
couple of years ago that governs
[39:56] uh solar panels, solar farms.
So, this this is what we're doing. We're
[40:02] going to look at it. We're going to try
to have something
[40:05] if we could have something prior to
that, we could go ahead with the
[40:09] ordinance. If we don't, we can extend it
if we don't have it.
[40:13] It might be an extension probably will
because she has got to get all of this
[40:21] prepared and ready. We already looking
at some other counties what they have
[40:27] done
[40:30] and once we do it it takes two months
again. So she that that's the reason
[40:36] with 90 days she doesn't have a 30 days
to get something done. So, we could be
[40:42] back here in December or or so and and
extend this a little while. It's no
[40:48] question we can have the ordinance done
before then, but to go through the
[40:53] two-month process that it takes with
your first and second readings, it might
[40:58] take a little longer.
So, we are going to propose that we do a
[41:04] resolution and I'm going to
ask the county clerk, I mean the county
[41:09] attorney if she will to start reading
the resolution. The resolution number is
[41:15] 2026-09-08-14.
[41:22] This is a resolution that will allow us
to do this. I'm not going to read it in
[41:26] its entirety because this resolution is
about as long as I've ever seen one.
[41:31] It's pretty long, but it will go on the
website in the ne tomorrow or the next
[41:37] day.
It'll be on the website for people to be
[41:40] able to read, but it just simply says we
we will we got the moratorum. We won't
[41:46] be issued any permits. And it gives us
the legal right not to until we get this
[41:52] in place. Clerk, I mean, uh, Madame
Attorney, you can read the resolution.
[41:57] Resolution number 2026
090814.
[42:04] A resolution of the board of
commissioners of Lincoln County,
[42:08] Georgia, enacting a temporary moratorum

[42:27] permits, business licenses, certificates
of occupancy, or other approvals that
[42:33] propose and whole or in part the
placement, sighting, construction,
[42:38] establishment, expansion, or operation
of data centers within the county so as
[42:44] to allow the county time to study,
develop, and consider the adoption of an
[42:48] ordinance regulating data centers, to
provide for severability to repeal
[42:54] conflicting resolutions, to provide an
effective date and termination date, and
[42:59] for other lawful purposes.

Georgia Food Services,
[50:03] Senior Citizen Nutrition. We got to keep
them fed.
[50:06] » Oh, yeah. Keep it.
>> Director Director Meadows. Chairman,
[50:10] commissioners, I would like to request
the board's approval to accept the GA
[50:15] foods contract for EP fiscal year 2027.
GA Foods provides the congregate meals
[50:22] served at our senior center and the home
delivered meals which they deliver to
[50:26] the senior citizens in the program. At
the August meeting, uh the grant was
[50:32] accepted for CSR regional commission
nutrition grant. GA Foods is the company
[50:39] that actually provides the meals that go
along with this grant. Um, they deliver
[50:44] us the meals in the morning. We check
those off. Those are the same meals that
[50:48] are served to the seniors at lunch. At
the end of the month, I get a invoice
[50:52] from them, which I verify against the
meals I show we served. All of that goes
[50:57] in once a month to the CC CSR regional
commission for approval.
[51:05] Okay, we've discussed this one at the
work session as well. We know what it
[51:09] is. It's um something we do pretty much
every year. It's a little change, I
[51:15] think, with the company. I'm going to
ask for a motion to approve food
[51:19] services agreement with GA Food Service
of Panales County LLC in the Lincoln
[51:25] County Board of Commissioners beginning
October the 1st, 2026
[51:29] through September the 30th, 2027
to provide food to the Lincoln County
[51:36] Department of Leisure Services Senior
Citizens Program at a cost of $67,746.
[51:45] Federal funds of that 67,742
[51:49] would be 56,451.
[51:53] The state will contribute 5,83
and county funds will be $5,492.
[52:02] It is a budgeted expense in the general
fund
[52:07] budget and I ask that you give the
chairman and the clerk the authority to
[52:11] sign the agreement. Is there a motion?
>> So move. We
[52:16] » have a motion by Commissioner Boxdale.
Is there a second?
[52:19] » Second.

of buildings to the four annex. Um this
[53:10] improved speed, reliability, and
maintainability. We ask for your
[53:14] approval up to $14,000. I also need that
money for a new camera.
[53:21] Okay, we discussed this the other day,
too. I think we all know what we're
[53:26] looking at.
Um, I'm going to ask for a motion to
[53:31] approve the expenditure of up to $14,000
from the special purpose local option
[53:37] sales tax 7 tier one to install a fiber

[54:23] Item 14 is the Graves Mountain Tower
Repairs directed Jay Doss.
[54:33] Commissioners, Mr. Chairman, as we spoke
in the work session last week, uh there
[54:37] were some issues with the two towers
that the county owns on Graves Mountain.
[54:41] One of the lighting systems was struck
by lightning. The other lighting system
[54:45] had some severe water damage uh due to a
degraded O-ring on the top that allowed
[54:51] water to get in and burn up all of the
connectors in there.
[54:56] Reached out and got some quotes to
upgrade the tower lighting system on
[55:00] tower one, the original tower that
Lincoln County owned where all of our
[55:04] public safety radios are currently
housed at. Uh the company stated that
[55:08] that tower system is very annodated. um
they could not find any parts for it.
[55:14] The cost for them to come out and
upgrade this tower uh lighting control
[55:19] module along with having a monitoring
system so if something happens like this
[55:24] again, we can know it very fast is
$19,250
[55:30] um to come from Splast.
And then for tower two to have them come
[55:35] in and do a similar uh monitoring system
where if something with these lights
[55:41] happens again where they go out um the
monitoring company will notify someone
[55:46] so we can have it adjusted very quickly
and not have the risk of a plane or
[55:51] something striking one of our towers.
The cost for that module is $1,750.
[55:58] And there will be a third-party
monitoring company that we will u have
[56:03] service us at a monthly agreement of $55
a month.
[56:10] » Okay. We we real familiar with all of
this too. I got we this will be two
[56:14] motions. On motion one, did you say that
was 19,850?
[56:19] » 19,850.
Yes, sir. For the $600.
[56:23] » On the second motion, I understand
6,765.
[56:26] Yes, sir.
>> Okay. I I didn't know whether that's the
[56:29] number you put out when you were
reading.
[56:32] Okay. And we have a motion. One will be
a motion to approve Graves Mountain

[57:53] Let me do state that this has uh been
filed with the county insurance.
[58:01] So hopefully that
we won't be spending as much money as
[58:05] what we are talking about spending. I
think we have a $2500
[58:11] deducted.
>> So hopefully we're going to get by
[58:14] without spending near the money that
that we're looking at. Item 15. Thank
[58:19] you, Director J. Dos. You got director
J. Dos directed
[58:27] EOS.
>> Clerk M. Dos.
[58:34] » Sheriff. You going to change your name?
[58:38] » All right. Item
15 is the Fort Garden contract amendment
[58:44] approval. The sheriff knows about this,
but I this was uh
[58:53] this was not discussed at the work
session. I think it came after that,
[58:57] didn't it, Clerk MueL?
This is only thing this is doing is the
[59:02] sheriff houses prisoners from time to
time for Fort Gordon.
[59:08] Um, and this gives you the amount of
money that they can pay up to, which is
[59:14] I wish it would happen, but it's it's
it's not going to happen this much. But
[59:19] all this is is an amendment to the
original agreement
[59:23] that a contract that we had with Fort
Eisenhower, now back to Fort Gordon to
[59:30] increase the amount of the housing of
inmates.
[59:34] This is the maximum amount that they
would be able to pay. Lincoln County,
[59:38] but it went from $117,790
[59:43] to $124,752,
[59:47] which is an increase of 6,962.
Now, don't be expecting us to bring in
[59:53] that much money on the revenue column
because it won't happen with it yet.
[59:58] Won't be that much. Won't be nothing
like that much. But that's what we have
[1:00:03] to have in the contract. Um,
so that If if anything works, that's a
[1:00:09] good deal. It came up. Is there a motion
that we amend and modify the contract?
[1:00:14] » So move, Mr. Chairman.
>> Have a motion. Second.
[1:00:17] » Second, Mr. Chairman.
>> Got a second. Motion by Commissioner
[1:00:20] Anthony Knock. Second by Commissioner
Henderson. Any discussion?

[1:02:41] line item that caused that or is that
just expenses just run out?
[1:02:49] Commissioner, it's uh we had to we
didn't get all the revenue thought that
[1:02:53] we thought we were going to get and some
of our expenses were up a little bit
[1:02:56] more than we thought they would be.
[1:03:05] » Any other questions?
>> Mr. Chairman,
[1:03:09] » Commissioner Anthony. Um, and didn't we
discuss that the state is now taking a
[1:03:15] larger percentage for administration?
>> Yes, ma'am. The of our 911 fees, our
[1:03:21] dollar and a half 911 fee that goes on
every cellular device and every landline
[1:03:25] in Lincoln County, the state is taking
more of those dollars. Um,
[1:03:30] last the month I gave you was
approximately $300,000 across the state
[1:03:35] that was lost uh to those funds.
And we've had to do this in years past.
[1:03:41] Correct.
>> Yes, ma'am. A majority of the 159
[1:03:45] counties in the state of Georgia, vast
majority, well over 90% of them do not
[1:03:49] take enough money in from their uh 911
fees to cover the cost of operating 911.
[1:03:56] Any other questions?
All in favor of the motion be known as
[1:04:01] saying I. I.
>> All oppose like sign. Motion's carried.
[1:04:05] Item
17 is rightway maintenance. Direct
[1:04:11] Seymour.
>> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, this
[1:04:14] is an item that we we talked about at
the um work session last week. Um and
[1:04:20] and so we're having some issues with
some um unwanted um grasses on our
[1:04:26] rightway that cause some problems
throughout the year like Johnson grass
[1:04:30] and those that grow uh exponentially
high uh in between cutting. So, we're
[1:04:36] looking at ways to try to mitigate some
of that and and one of the ways is is
[1:04:41] doing roadside spraying similar to what
uh the state highway department does.
[1:04:46] And so, what I'm presenting to you
tonight, Mr. Chairman, is um is is a
[1:04:50] spraying in the fall and then a spraying
in the spring. Um that amount is
[1:04:55] $24,345.36
per spring. Um, and um,
[1:05:03] you know, like I said, we we we spoke
about this. I think um, Commissioner
[1:05:07] Taxley had some questions about the the
chemicals that we're spraying. I think I
[1:05:11] provided that. I think you have those in
your books as well. Um, but that's it,
[1:05:15] Mr. Chairman.
Okay. We talked about this the other
[1:05:20] day, too, and agreed to put it on the
agenda. You've heard the request.
[1:05:27] The motion will be to amend the contract
with American Eagle for rightway
[1:05:33] maintenance to include herbicide
spraying to and control the
[1:05:39] growth rate of vegetation of county
roads, rideways,
[1:05:45] bridges, guard rails for the fall and
spring mower mowing
[1:05:52] cycles in the amount of up to $47,000
be paid from T Splash. This is uh
[1:05:58] $24,345
per spraying.
[1:06:03] That is the motion. We'll go to a U.
[1:06:10] I might be putting this before I'm
supposed to.
[1:06:14] When does this when does this when does
I should do this on a discussion, but
[1:06:20] when is the mowing for the fall? This is
fall and spring. When is the fall
[1:06:24] spraying? When would they begin the fall
spraying? Is it
[1:06:27] » that they'll start the the fall cutting
in October and then they would do the
[1:06:31] spring after that cutting?
>> Okay. All right. Is there a motion?
[1:06:38] » Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make
>> Commissioner Anthony,
[1:06:40] » I'd like to make a motion or request a
motion that we table this until maybe
[1:06:45] our next call meeting. Um there were a
few questions amongst the board um right
[1:06:50] before we sat down um just to get
clarification maybe. So I'd like to make
[1:06:56] a motion that we table this until our
next call meeting.
[1:07:00] » We have a motion to table this until the
call meeting. I believe that's on the
[1:07:05] 21st. Is that right? Oh, we could do
this at the October meeting because
[1:07:09] they're not going to spray it before
their October meeting, would they?
[1:07:12] » No, sir. That suit you as well?
>> Okay. We we have a motion to table this
[1:07:18] until the October BC meeting, regular
meeting. Is there a second to the
[1:07:24] motion?
>> Second.
[1:07:26] » Okay. Motion's made by Commissioner
Anthony, second by Commissioner Bogsdale
[1:07:32] to table to the October meeting. Any
discussion?
[1:07:38] Okay. I think the herbicides
and all came in and you emailed that.
[1:07:44] Yes, I believe
>> Commissioner Tankersly. All the
[1:07:46] commissioners
>> I I I emailed them to Commissioner
[1:07:49] Tankersley, but I think u Miss Miss
McCller put it in all of their books, so
[1:07:54] they all have a copy of
>> Okay, y'all all have a copy of what he
[1:07:57] said.
>> All right. If you have any if you have
[1:07:59] any questions in between now and next
October,
[1:08:05] talk to Director Seymour or we can have
it on our work session agenda. All in
[1:08:10] favor of the motion, let it be known by
saying I. I. All oppose. Light sign.
[1:08:14] Motion's carried. Director McKlly, if
you will make a note, this will go back
[1:08:17] on the agendas for October. Yes, sir.
[1:08:24] » Item 18 is new air conditioning units
for the courthouse. Director Seymour, I
[1:08:29] don't believe you need one in here now.
Believe it work.
[1:08:33] » Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. Actually, there
are there are four units that operate
[1:08:37] this upstairs. U just for clarification,
there are two 5-tonon units that operate
[1:08:42] the room that we're in now. And then
there's a 4-tonon that operates the
[1:08:45] judge's chambers and and the um the
front office and then a second 4 ton
[1:08:50] that operates this side. This side is
completely out right now.
[1:08:53] » So what you're telling me is that where
I'm cold now hadn't got anything to do
[1:08:57] with what you asking for.
>> That is correct, Mr. Chairman. I'm also
[1:09:00] saying that if you're cold, if you want
to step into the grand jury room, it
[1:09:03] won't take but a minute for you to warm
up. Um, so we had a lightning strike um
[1:09:08] that caused damage to the two 4-tonon
units that are on the outsides. Uh,
[1:09:13] we've had the um insurance adjuster come
up, take pictures. Uh, and so what we're
[1:09:19] asking for is um approval to to spend
$22,200
[1:09:25] uh to replace the two 4 ton units up
here. Um, we did, like I said, we did do
[1:09:30] a um a insurance claim. um that
deductible is $2,500 and it is full
[1:09:38] replacement so it won't be um adjusted
out. So we should get the majority of it
[1:09:44] back less than $2,500 but we have to
have a motion by this board to spend the
[1:09:48] 22,200
initially and then get reimbured by the
[1:09:53] insurance company.
>> Is that take is this is that taken care
[1:09:57] with the same insurance the one that was
blown out with
[1:10:00] » that is correct and I'm waiting on a I'm
waiting on a price. We we've already had
[1:10:03] somebody come out and take all the
measurements. Uh and that is the um
[1:10:08] window in front of the bell tower up
top. It blew it completely out at the
[1:10:13] same time. We had glass all out in the
front yard. Um so I'm waiting on a price
[1:10:17] to get back from that.
>> That would be in this that was filed
[1:10:21] with the same insurance coverage. So the
$2,500 duck will take care of both of
[1:10:25] them.
>> That is correct. It is it is the same
[1:10:27] claim. Yes, sir.
>> All right. You heard the report. We
[1:10:31] talked about this. I think last week at
the session work session. I'm asking for
[1:10:36] a motion to approve
replacing two 4tonon heating and air
[1:10:42] conditioning units in the upstairs
office and grand jury room in the amount
[1:10:48] of $22,200.
And this will come from Splash 2. You
[1:10:54] heard what he said about the insurance
and hopefully it'll just be 2500
[1:11:00] uh on the deductible with this. Um
[1:11:06] » is there a motion?
>> So move, Mr. Chairman.
[1:11:10] » Second.
>> Motion by Commissioner Tangsley. Second
[1:11:14] by com I mean a motion made by
Commissioner Antonaka. Second by
[1:11:18] Commissioner Tanks.
Any discussion on the motion? Our
[1:11:23] chairman, I see we got we
>> Commissioner Boxdale
[1:11:26] » from uh your plumbing.
>> Yes, ma'am. It our second quote came in
[1:11:30] after the work session. Yes, ma'am.
>> It was high though, wasn't it?
[1:11:33] » It was. Yes, sir.
>> Okay.
[1:11:36] Any other discussion? Let me make one
comment on this. The that is not just
[1:11:41] for two 4tonon
air condition. They would be quite that
[1:11:47] much.
But cranes have got to come in and set
[1:11:52] up and be able to remove those two that
are up there and put the other two back
[1:11:58] up there. So that's what made the cost
go up as much as it did. So I just want
[1:12:03] to be clear that's not just two four ton
als
[1:12:07] cranes and all the involved. All in
favor of the motion let it be known
[1:12:11] saying I. I.
>> All oppose like sign motion's carried.
[1:12:17] Uh
Eddie Fletcher Park is in the
[1:12:22] administrative feed director Seymour.

Eddie Fletcher Park um better known as
[1:12:32] turnaround from for most people who have
lived here for any length of time. And
[1:12:37] so the core of engineers have um has
have asked that we pay an administrative
[1:12:42] fee of $3,498.34
cents for the renewal of that contract.
[1:12:49] This is not a fee that we have had to
pay in the past. I do not believe
[1:12:54] » that's not unusual for the CO either.
They do it and that's what it is and
[1:12:59] that's really all we pay them for that.
>> It is. Yes, sir. That's the only fees
[1:13:02] involved. Yes, sir.
>> Okay. You heard the
[1:13:07] recommendation. I ask for a motion to
approve the payment of $3,498.34
[1:13:13] for administrative expense incurred with
the United States Army Corps of
