County To Implement No
Smoking Policy for Employees
During the meeting
Tuesday night, Septem
ber 24 the commission
ers approved motion
by Commissioner
Vice-Chairman Rick
Muggridge to implement
a no smoking policy for
employees on county
property. The effective
date was not announced.
After tabling the
creation of a public park
on Creekside Drive
during previous com
mission meetings, the
commission once again
the commissioner left
the item tabled. The
idea of converting 626
Creekside Drive and
634 Creekside Drive
into a public park had
been discussed. It was
suggested the a fence be
installed and a key given
to EMS for emergency
use.
The Board of Com
missioners recently
purchased four adjoin
ing lots on Creekside
Drive - 618 Creekside,
626 Creekside, 634
Creekside and 650
Creekside as part of
the Hazard Mitigation
program.
It was noted that by
utilizing the two lots as
a public park, it would
still leave a vacant lot
on each side. Thus it
should not interfere
with adjacent property
owners.
Tuesday night, the
commissioners awarded
the bid for the repair
and/or replacement of
the fences surrounding
county holding ponds.
The commissioners
awarded the bid to
Atlas Fence Company
for $33,878.61 for the
repairs and/ or re
placement of fencing
and gates around three
holding ponds.
Several fences sur
rounding holding ponds
throughout Lee Coun
ty were damaged or
destroyed by Hurricane
Michael in October
2018. The holding ponds
where the fence will be
replaced are in the 200
block of Archie Drive,
Cambridge Road and
Endoline Drive .
