In an effort to expose our elected and appointed commissioners to all facets of the processes and procedures that we follow at the BGJWSC, staff held a series of presentations that we referred to as Commissioner Orientation Day. These meetings, which occurred on both February 2nd and 16th of 2017, were recorded to serve as a training aid for both new staff and new commissioners. As they may be of interest to the public as well, the videos are now available on our YouTube channel and linked...

Summary The BGJWSC was the victim of fraudulent financial transactions between May and June of 2016. During that time, $40,986.96 in unauthorized transactions was charged to us via counterfeit checks and ACH payments. Our banking services provider, BB&T, assumed responsibility for covering all charges as a benefit of our contract with them and the BGJWSC was not held responsible for any of the loss. This fraud was perpetrated by using the routing number and account number from one of our...

I’m encouraged by the light turnout at our first series of quarterly town hall meetings.  Members of our commission and staff met with the public at Brunswick’s Howard Coffin Park recreation center on Wednesday night and at the St. Simons Island Casino on Thursday night. As we only had three citizens attend on both nights and only received questions via email from four citizens that were unable to attend, that’s a clear indication to me that your concerns have either been met by our...

Despite our efforts to make the matter clear through our previous posting on December 30, 2016, Pump Station 2032 Initial Project Briefing, the Brunswick News reported on January 6, 2017 that the project will reduce Frederica Road to one lane. This was reported by the Brunswick News in error. Rest assured that the BGJWSC has no plans to reduce traffic on Frederica Road to one lane. All work on Frederica Road will be safely managed in the shoulder of the road outside of either lane, as was the...

Video and audio quality is limited, due to the recording hardware being utilized, but efforts will be made to improve quality, where feasible. Where time is permitted, meetings will be posted on the same...

This is to set out the reasons why I chose to resign from the Board of Commission for the JWSC and take on a new responsibility of working as the Temporary Deputy Director. I only had one more year to serve on the board and I did not plan on seeking another 4 year term. However, I did want to use all the knowledge and experience I have gained in the last 3 years to continue to benefit JWSC. I have served on the Board for three years. Nearly nine months of that time has been as the Acting...
