A relatively light agenda for the Oct. 13 regular meeting of the Fayette County Board of Commissioners includes consideration of more than $2 million in stormwater utility projects and a review of county policy regarding hours during which local residents can enjoy county lakes.
 
The board is expected to consider staff recommendations for the Emerald Lake Dam Rehabilitation Project; the possible awarding of a $2,743,859 bid to North Georgia Concrete, Inc.; rule on a proposed $201,924.80 contract amendment with Walden, Ashworth & Associates, Inc.; and consider associated budget adjustments to four Stormwater Utility line items.
 
Other new business on the agenda includes the recommended appointment of Letitia Naghise, Joseph Tolbert and Commissioner Randy Ognio to the Public Facilities Authority for a one-year term expiring July 23, 2017.
 
The board will consider the county attorney’s recommendation to deny the disposition of tax refunds, as requested by Ivonne Morrison, in the aggregate amount of $6,186.05.
 
The lone item of old business is Commissioner Brown’s request to change the hours for the county lakes, to sunrise to sunset to allow more user opportunities and to align hours of operation with other outdoor parks.
 
The consent agenda includes staff recommendations to accept a donation of approximately 1,000 public safety radios from Fulton County 911 and to award an annual contract for waterline extensions to Shockley Plumbing.
 
There are no public hearing items on the agenda.
