APPROVAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Minutes from Facilities Committee Meeting February 16, 2022 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Chairman Turnipseed to approve the minutes from the Facilities Committee Meeting held on February 16, 2022.\u00a0 Motion carried 2-0-1.\u00a0 (Commissioner Duncan was not present for the vote.)<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Dedication of Private Infrastructure w\/ Easements \u2013 Glynn County Animal Control<\/strong> \u2013T. Kline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Mr. Kline advised the committee that the Glynn County Board of Commissioners is the owner\/developer of a 15,000+ square foot Animal Control facility located at 190 Carl Alexander Way in Brunswick, Georgia.\u00a0 The Glynn County Commission wishes to dedicate and convey the Water System measuring approximately 238 linear feet with an estimated value of $21,505 and the Water Utility Easement.\u00a0 This dedication involves only the water system infrastructure.\u00a0 The sewer system was already installed and required connection only.\u00a0 Chairman Turnipseed questioned if JWSC should request the sewer easements for permanent ownership, and Mr. Dorminy responded we should.\u00a0 He also recommended that JWSC accept what is being presented now, and recognize the Blanket Easement Agreement on what was previously existing with no expectations of issues. Chairman Turnipseed commented that JWSC needs to ensure that no issues will be had in the future.\u00a0 Commissioner Cook inquired if Glynn County owns all of the property in that location, and Mr. Kline confirmed that the County does own the property.\u00a0 Mr. Dorminy provided that there should be no issues with the County. \u00a0A survey will be requested. Commissioner Duncan commented that JWSC should pursue all separate easements.<\/p>\n

      Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Duncan to move that the Facilities Committee forward the above described dedication and easement documents to the full Commission for approval and acceptance. \u00a0Motion carried 3-0-0.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Community Road Sewer Project \u2013 Engineering Proposal <\/strong>\u2013 T. Kline<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Mr. Kline presented the request for Change Order #1 to Capital Project #2020 \u2013 Community Road Engineering Services Water & Sewer Extension Project Professional Services Contract.\u00a0 This change order will provide for additional survey\/design cost of $111,800.00 and a time extension of 283 days to the original contract.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The additional design cost and time extension are necessary to incorporate PS4011 and gravity sewer routing improvements.\u00a0 This would modify the originally designed route of gravity sewer extensions from the Community Road right-of-way to Habersham Street and include necessary upgrades to the existing pump station 4011such as deepening the force main. Sewer would then be available to unserved sewer areas off Community Road that are currently on septic systems.\u00a0 Chairman Turnipseed inquired as the areas PS4011 will serve.\u00a0 Commissioner Neal questioned the revenues from this area\u2019s population and noted that they may not be enough to payback the investment in the extension of sewer.\u00a0 The committee further discussed the effects and costs to go with a lower pressure step-system with a holding tank and draining off of grey water as compared to the gravity sewer extensions with higher pressure.\u00a0 It was noted that with the step-system, this low pressure system requires more maintenance and more jetting out of the lines.\u00a0 After discussion, the committee took a vote.<\/p>\n

        Commissioner Cook made a motion seconded by Commissioner Duncan to move that the Brunswick-Glynn Joint Water & Sewer Commission Facilities Committee forward the above-described Change Order #1 to the full Commission for approval. \u00a0Motion carried 0-3-0.\u00a0 The committee unanimously voted \u201cNO\u201d.<\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
