County to look at regs to ban business on public property By Matthew J. Permar It doesn’t seem like something you’d need an actual law for, but next month the Glynn County Board of Commissioners (BOC) will consider a new ordinance section prohibiting businesses from renting or selling ve hicles on county property, in particu lar on county right of way. The item was added to the county work session agenda last week (Sept. 17) and County Attorney Aaron Mum- ford presented a draft copy of a pro posed ordinance. Mumford told the BOC that the issue came up because someone was using county right of way along the south side of King’s Way near Mal- lery St. to rent golf carts in the public parking area. “This new ordinance will prevent that,” said Mumford, “It says Code Enforcement can cite people who do. Commissioner David O’Quinn (At Large #1) took up the issue after see ing golf carts being parked and rented on the King’s Way public property and Pew I saw a sign this week that said “Dear God, Send Fall.” Seems like that is a prayer from each of us as the hot days just hang on longer and longer. We will be off to the mountains next week for a Jubalheir concert in Blairs- ville and hope for some cool weather and some fall color in the trees. worked with Mumford on the new regulation. “They park them next to the Mellow Mushroom restaurant,” said O’Quinn, “and have trucks with advertising sig nage. They should not be allowed to rent them there, or to advertise there on the side of the road. I would like to move forward with this.” Responding to a question from Commissioner Alan Booker (Dist. 5), O’Quinn added that some of the busi ness is conducted online, with people coming to the county parking lot to get the carts. “But at times,” said 0”Quinn, he takes over the parking lot. We need this area for pier area parking.” Saying, “I fully support this (ordi nance),” Commissioner Peter Murphy (Dist. 2) agreed and said the problem was going on in Mallery Park and by the Casino on Beachview Dr. as well. Mumford said he would have a fi nalized version ready for the full BOC meeting in October. News Congratulations to Frederica Baptist Church as we celebrate our 17th Anniversary September 22.

A favorite song of mine is singing in my head this morning - “Share His love - - by telling what the Lord has done for you” “Share His love — by telling of your faith”. I am in awe of the many opportunities to share and tell through programs of our local churches. Fall is a good time to get involved in something new or to just make a new commitment to some thing you have been doing for a long time. Pray that God will lead you to the place where you can serve Him and grow in your faith. SPLOST list Continued from Page 6 Dept, project for fiber optic commu nications; and the implementation of the shoreline protection plan. Under ‘other’ projects are a new sewer lift station at the Public Safety complex and the purchase of six to ten acres for storm debris storage. Keep in mind this is an ‘all inclu sive’ master ‘wish’ list of sorts that will be dramatically reduced before it goes out for a vote by the public. No project costs were included on the list because County Manager Alan Ours said getting those num bers was a time consuming job and felt it was better done once the BOC had eliminated the projects they don’t want. Time is of the essence, County At torney Aaron Mumford said the com mission needed to get the final list to the Board of Elections by the end of December. The BOC asked the staff leader ship team to prioritize the list and present it at a special called meeting next month. The county also has a list of SPLOST 2020 projects from the Je- kyll Island Authority totalling $2.75 million. Neither the city nor the Joint Wa ter and Sewer commission has sub mitted their lists as yet.
