BOC sets schedule, approves apartments
By Joshua Demarest
jdemarest@dawsonnews.com
The Dawson County Board of
Commissioners voted Thursday night to
approve its new meeting schedule. The
updated schedule was proposed to con
form to the newly adapted biweekly
meeting structure.
Instead of weekly meetings alternat
ing between work sessions and voting
sessions, the board will meet every other
Thursday, with a work session at 4 p.m.
followed by a voting session at 6 p.m.
The first meeting to fall under this new
structure will take place May 2.
The Board of Commissioners also
voted 3-2 to approve the rezoning of a
property located between the CVS and
the Dawson 10 Cinemas near the inter
section of Hwy. 53 and GA-400. The
property will be used for a new 80-unit
apartment complex.
The commissioners also approved the
addition of an Alcohol Licensing
Administrator, but agreed to reduce the
pay bracket for the position, which had
been a point of contention.

BIG D’S BBQ #2

Score: 85, Grade B
Notes: Walk-in cooler holding Time/temperature
control for safety foods (TCS foods) above required
4IF or below - TCS foods 44F - 46F. Ambient cool
er temperature on hanging thermometer 44F/45F -
per log ambient temp of cooler 39F at start of day.
Walk-in cooler is opened, closed and left open (with
cool curtains) throughout the day for caterings and
prep. Cooler temperature recovery may be too slow.
COS: TCS foods put on ice and service call put in to
check walk-in cooler. Beef Brisket, smoked chicken
thighs and ribs cooked and cooled from yesterday
with temperatures 46F - 65F (see temperature obser
vations). Time/temperature control for safety foods
to be cooled after cooking must cool from 135F to
70F within 2 hours and from 135F to 41F within a
total time of 6 hours. Brisket large and cooled whole,
chicken thighs in containers stacked on top of each
other and ribs tightly wrapped. Cool large pieces of
meat more quickly by quartering, limit amount of
food in containers, wrap loosely to allow heat to con
tinue to escape and spread containers out in cooler to
allow air to circulate around containers for cooling.
COS: All Time/temperature control safety foods
(TCS ) not cooled to 41F within a total of 6 hours
voluntarily discarded. Discussed cutting brisket into
smaller pieces, wrapping cooling TCS foods loosely
and not stacking cooling TCS foods. Will also start
cooling process in walk-in freezer and use cooling
log to monitor cooling more closely. There are gaps
under wood fencing around BBQ pit and gaps in
screening of pit in comers and around wooden entry
gate that can allow for the entry of pests. These areas
need to be sealed to the outside to prevent points of
entry into the BBQ pit cooking area.
