The Leon County Commissioners voted to bring back two additional agenda items in upcoming meetings for options to acquire and preserve the Lake Hall Schoolhouse.
The board adopted the proposed Electric Vehicle (EV) Ready Ordinance. The ordinance facilitates the use of EVs and further establishes a convenient, cost-effective electric vehicle infrastructure that will also accommodate future technological advancement county-wide.
Commissioners Nick Maddox and Kristin Dozier were reappointed to the Value Adjustment Board (VAB) for an additional two-year term, ending on April 30, 2024. The VAB settles disputes between taxpayers and the Property Appraiser relating to denials of exemptions/classifications and market values.
The board reappointed Elva Peppers, Heath Annin, and Michael Dobson to citizens’ seats on the Advisory Committee for Quality Growth for three-year terms ending on May 31, 2025.
Additionally, the board appointed two new citizen members to the Advisory Committee for Quality Growth. Jabaree Allen and Dr. Steven Karacic were selected for a three-year term ending on May 31, 2025.
The board adopted the proposed ordinance to repeal section 18-142 of the Leon County Code of Laws regarding open burning.
Lastly, a contract between Leon County and Jimmie Crowder Excavating and Land Clearing Inc. was awarded for solid waste yard debris processing. The pricing is broken down into tonnage for grinding, screening, and removal, and billing is based on actual tons processed. The rate is $25.00 per ton processed.

CharlesT,
Excellent!
The Leon County Commission has let the people of Leon County down by repealing the Leon County code law on open burning. It’s apparent that these commissioners don’t frequent the outdoors in their county, or they would be aware of the poor air quality of this area. Most of the air pollution comes from residents burning of toxic material, because residents don’t want to pay the expense of paying to depose of it properly. The second major cause is a lack of enforcement of car and truck emissions in the county. It’s apparent to me that they don’t care about the health of the people that frequent the outdoors in Leon County. The number one priority of these commissioners should be the health and safety of the people of Leon County, and they have failed in their reponsibility. . .
Just wait until the actual short life and extraordinary expensive replacement costs becomes known EV vehicle batteries. You will live to regret buying an EV. And the taxpayer will get a good screwing paying for city and county EV maintenance.

A problematic endeavor with absolutely no empirical data to support it or it’s cost/benefit projections and claims… but it will be interesting to watch.
Is it just me or is anyone else aware of a massive ground swell of support from the local citizenary for the acquisition and preservation of the Lake Hall Schoolhouse?
This is the first I can recall hearing of the subject.
Typically when the Commission seems to be the driving force behind such a project there are difficult to link to the project campaign contributions which will come to the Esteemed Commisdioners as the motivation and driving force behind spending taxpayer millions to get mere tens of thoussnds or even less in campaign contributions.
