Box 963 • Brunswick, GA 31521-0963 City sets millage rate, 2020 fees By Pamela Permar Shierling Last week the Brunswick City Commission held their final public hearing on the 2019 Millage rate and at the regular meeting approved the resolution setting the rate at 13.219. Because of an increase in construc tion within the city as well as an in crease in property values the city, while keeping the millage rate the same as last year, will bring in ap proximately $70,000 more in taxes than last year. Mayor Cornell Harvey commented during the public hearing that the city would make an effort to roll back the millage rate next year. The Commission also set the Solid Waste Fee and the Storm Water Util ity Fee. The 2020 Solid Waste fee remains at $22.20 per month, the same as the 2019 fee, for residential customers. The Storm Water Utility fee was first billed in 2018. This year’s fee is $4.50 per month per residential unit for the 2020 service year. Commercial customers received a 5% increase last year but their rates also will remain the same for 2020. The 2020 Sanitation Service Fee will be billed on the City of Brunswick 2019 tax bill as an assessment. Per the storm water utility ordi nance the customer classifications other than residential customers are charged a rate of equivalent residen tial units (ERU) based on the amount of impervious space on their property. The 2020 Stormwater Utility Fee will be billed on the City of Brunswick 2019 tax bill as an assessment, In other business the City Com mission approved restrooms for Over look and Liberty Ship Parks. The restrooms will be purchased from CXT, Inc. and are precast facili ties. They will be equipped with stain less steel facilities. The foundation and utility work will be provided in- house by the City. The cost of a four-stall (two men’s, two women’s) restroom building for Overlook Park is $90,542 plus an es timated $8,000 to $10,000 for the con crete pad and utility work. Utilities must be run under Highway 17. The purchase price includes con struction, delivery, installation, and connection to water, sanitary sewer and electric utilities. The cost of a four-stall (two men’s, two women’s) restroom building for Liberty Ship Park is $138,150 plus an estimated $4,000 to $5,000 for the concrete pad and utility work. Both facilities will be funded from SPLOST 2016. The vote to approve the purchase was four to one with Com missioner Johnny Cason, who thought the cost was too high, voting no. The City Commission also ap proved a resolution pledging a $24,000 funding match for Bay Street improvements that would be paid for by a federal Metropolitan Planning Fund grant. If won, the estimated grant would be $400,000 and be used to make Bay Street more pedestrian friendly and improve connectivity to Mary Ross Park. The vote to approve was four to one with Commissioner Cason voting no. Prior to the end of the meeting Com. Cason brought up forming a committee to monitor, discuss, and provide recommendations on the en vironmental concerns facing the City and its citizens. Com. Cason said, “If we had had a committee to stay out in front of our environmental issues such as Terry Creek, we might be further down the road than we are today.” Hal Hart, a city resident, spoke to the Commission after Com. Ca son asked the Mayor to consider a committee and stated his concerns about the recent decision not to clean up Terry Creek but to cover up the contamination. Hart said he was concerned about the homes along Terry Creek includ ing Saint Marks Towers, the Oak Park community, the Riverside com munity and the Brunswick and Glynn County community in general. Hart also stated, “Since moving out to Riverside in 2000 I have watched PVC stakes in the marsh move north ward, first starting at the spoil site and then closer to Riverside. “Now in 2019 those stakes are less than a football field length from my front door. When I have inquired about them nobody knows anything, but yet they are there and moving. “Please ride out to Riverside and see for yourself. Just do not do it on a full moon since our road goes under water. That’s a matter I would like to talk to the commission at a later date. “My question to you is, as a govern ment, do you know what the stakes represent? Do you know who is plac ing the stakes? Are they testing the soil and if so for what? Are they track ing a chemical plume? Is my well and my neighbors’ irrigation well water safe? “I am asking this Commission, before we cover up this mess (Terry Creek), please find out what we are covering up.” The Terry Creek Superfund site is what Hart and Com. Cason are refer ring to. It was not known at the time of this article what the stakes are for or if they are part of the Terry Creek superfund site. The superfund site is broken into three areas that need to be remedi ated. OU1: the Outfall Ditch which is the priority although it was in 1999 that the Environmental Protection Agency and Hercules entered into an agreement to conduct a Remedial In vestigation / Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the Site. Currently an interim record of de cision (IROD) detailing the cleanup of OU1 was entered into Federal Court on August 1 but no decision has been made. Cleanup decisions for OU2: Dredge Spoils and Uplands soils, and OU3: Terry and Dupree Creeks will be made at a later date.
