county makes first move to relocate recycling ctr...
to property across academy drive from current location.
it was never like this when jimmy henry ran the recycle center,,,fire someone and hire him back,,,maybe the guy in charge of the place spend to much time on the internet and rideing his motor bike all over the county,,, or at the pastime grill, why does kenny roberts put up wit this?
10:38 AM, Both City and County, Together! 2.3 acres, 1.3 acres and a 2,800 square-foot building for Recycling facility, parking and other. Not moving anywhere.
why is the county buying something for the city again. the city owns the recycling center and the property so now we are going to buy a newer building and give it to the city and I just got a reassessment notice in the mail. get rid of all of them.
Shows you what kind of idiots run the county. Once again, for a few special interest people, the county is buying something where everyone but a few people pay and only a few people win.
The entire thing is sickening at a time when they raise taxes.
Who in the city has been elected to run the county??? Is it the same fools on the AG Authority all over again?
I love when morons like yourself get on this blob and bitch about something that you know nothing about. Get all the fact and then you can voice your opinion. By the way, who are the special interest people that always benifit. You act like theres always somebody who's making out on all these deals. Who,When. Please tell me so I can understand.
If the author of that article could write clearly he might not have misunderstood it.
It appears what is really happening is at a time when the county has a shortfall or tough time making ends meet and has raised taxes, they have $200,000 to buy a building and land to appease the soccer mommies and expand the athletic resources.
Somehow after the constant short end the county gets when Jay makes deals with the city I have a feeling we are about to get screwed again.
The funds to purchase come from SPLOST not your property taxes. I would rather the county use SPLOST to buy land than spend it on some other items that will depreciate. Taxes did not go up. Some valuations went up.
What SPLOST did we vote for to buy the trash depot and convert it into something for soccer mommy and daddy to watch their little darlings kick balls around?
Why should 10000 people pay for someone's little special interest group of 50 people because it is their personal idea of fun? Why don't the little soccer darlings and soccer mommy and soccer daddy get out their and sell donuts or wash cars and pay for their own hobby?
i wish jay would go back and look at that 300,000.00 th county gave the city thru splost and see if it really was spent on a ladder truck.. that truck was swapped out for a acheaper version and who kept the change... next time buy the stuff for the city and give it to them, don't truct them with the money...
Speaking of Ladder truck, where is the new county fire station that was promiced 3 yrs. ago. to replaced the run down old grove st. gas station/ fire station.
11:33AM, No not 15,000 people. 28,992 people in Barnesville/Lamar County. Look large town in Barnesville, small town in Milner and bigger Lamar County.
11:56AM, 8 Firehouses! Both City and County Fire Dept. No new Ladder truck but have Ladder truck for the Barnesville Fire Dept. Two new North Lamar County and South Lamar County. Station 1 move Station 3 next year. Milner Fire Department (Lamar County Fire & Rescue) to North Lamar County.

8 fire stations (Barnesville Station 1, Redbone Station 2, Milner Station 3, Johnstonville Station 4, Piedmont Station 5, Chappell Mill/High Falls Station 6, North Milner Station 7, and Grove St Station water supply).

Thanks Mr. Chairman! You said you would improve the area around the soccer fields and you are. The trash has gotten out of control.
THANKS,
SCOCCER MOMS

$200,000 for 2 acres?
Why are we going to spend millions of dollars to fix a problem that could be fixed by simply doing a better job of keeping an area clean?
No wonder they have to raise property taxes.
it is 2.3 acres and a 2,800 square foot building
and it is not the fault of the city or those in charge a keeping the facility up. it is the citizens that continue to misuse the place.

2.3 ACRES AND 2,800 SQ FT BUILDING: $200,000.00
CONVERT THE RECYCLE CENTER TO A CONCESSION STAND AND RECREATION FACILITY & GENERAL REAHB:$30,000.00
CITY & COUNTY WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOOD: $PRICELESS
My property taxes are out the yazoo and we spend this kind of $$$ so the little soccer darlings don't have to look at something unsightly

I have some land in the city to sell can I negotiate with Jay?
yeah you can. he is a suave buisness man though so you might end up getting screwed.
Well I have 2.75 acres with a nice treehouse, thought he might offer $300k.
HOW MANY SQUARE FOOTAGE IS THAT TREEHOUSE? WE MIGHT COULD WORK ON THAT SON!

What a stooge!!
Your taxes didn't go up, the valuation did.
What SPLOST did we vote for to buy the trash depot and convert it into something for soccer mommy and daddy to watch their little darlings kick balls around?

i wish jay would go back and look at that 300,000.00 th county gave the city thru splost and see if it really was spent on a ladder truck.. that truck was swapped out for a acheaper version and who kept the change... next time buy the stuff for the city and give it to them, don't truct them with the money...
that $$$ would do wonders in upgrading the animal shelter
They'd rather have a few dozen soccer mommies happy than do something for the 15000 other people in the county. Jay and the rest have got to go.

How does a broke county justify spending money on something with no return for a few people?
