BOC will review operations at Transfer Station

WHITE COUNTY, Ga. – County Commissioners will review the contract with Waste Management for operations of the Transfer Station when they meet Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the County Administration Building on Helen Highway.

The County awarded a contract to Waste Management last fall for hauling trash from the Convenience Center to the Transfer Station in $21,500 annually. Economic Development Director John Sell has suggested the Board may get a better price by working out a two to three year agreement.

In other business, the Board will:

  • Hear a presentation by Frank Riley, Executive Director of the Chestatee-Chattahoochee Resource, Conservation and Development council;
  • Consider adoption of a resolution revising Article V Road Construction Standards for paving county-owned or maintained unpaved roads;
  • Discuss bids received for Skylake Road Culvert Repairs;
  • Consider approval of expenditure with ACCG Solutions and Trailwave Fiber, Inc. for extension of fiber service at Yonah Preserve Sports Facility;
  • Discuss future operations of the pool at White County Recreation Department and options for a splash pad installation;

Finance Director Jodi Ligon will present the monthly financial status report.

County Manager Joe Cason will discuss evaluation of county facilities HVAC systems.
