Douglas County Commission Meeting May 7

The meeting will be held tomorrow at 10am at Citizen's Hall at Douglas County Courthouse.  You can read the work session agenda here:  http://douglascountyga.suiteonemedia.com/web/Player.aspx?id=60&key=-1&mod=-1&mk=-1&nov=0

A few of the highlights:


  • 2013 Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) - Authorization to bid in the amount of $10,500,000 and use Gray Pannell & Woodward LLP as the County's Note Counsel.
  • Public Hearing to obtain citizen input into the formulation and adoption of the amended Thornton Road Urban Redevelopment Plan for Douglas County and to submit the Opportunity Zone documentation to DCA (Department of Community Affairs).
  • Public Hearing to initiate the 2013 Comprehensive Plan for Douglas County.   
  •  Resolution supporting efforts to maintain the Tax-Exempt Status of Municipal Bonds.
  • Authorization to approve an Intergovernmental Agreement with Cobb County for the resurfacing and rehabilitation of a portion of Factory Shoals Road between the Cobb County line and Six Flags Road located in Land Lots 0705 and 0706 of the 18th District, 2nd Section and authorize the Chairman to sign all related documents. 
  • Authorization to advertise for proposals for qualifications based professional transportation engineering services for projects PI#0012618, PI#0012620, PI #0012621 and PI#0012622 recently approved by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). 
    • In trying to find the details of these projects, I found this--plans for roads until 2040--and some of the plans include:
      • Extending Douglas Blvd to Midway Road (to be completed by 2040)
      • Widening Chapel Hill Road to four lanes (now two) from Central Church Road to Stewarts Mill Road (to be completed by 2030)
      • Widening Chapel Hill Road to four lanes (now two) from Dorsett Shoals Road to Central Church Road (to be completed by 2040)
      • Widening Hwy 92 beginning at Brown and Malone Streets to Nebo Road in Paulding County, then from Nebo Road to SR 120-Marietta Hwy (to be completed by 2020)
