Lumpkin County BOC will hold a Public Hearing on Monday, November 30, 7:00 PM in the Park & Rec building on the issue of a Dog Park within the Yahoola Creek Park complex.
Dog Park supporters have worked for some two years on this project. They submitted a petition of more than 1000 names of persons who support it.
No county funds would be spent on the Dog Park. Volunteers will be responsible for installing a fence, landscaping, maintenance and policing. There will be no greater liability for the county in this area than in any other area of the park. No long term commitment on use of the property is being requested. Continue reading »

Even in a down economy, it is apparently important for government to be concerned about the spiritual welfare of public property.Lumpkin County is currently advertising for the position of “Park Beautification Technician.” Now, for most people that’s just a glorified title for a pine straw spreader, but this is government, after all…
Even funnier, though– the job title is misspelled. The county is looking to fill the position of “Park Beatification Technician;” in other words, somebody whose job it is to make sure that all parks make it into heaven! (If the PBT does his job really well, will we have to change the name to “Blessed Blackburn Park”?)
The “Park Pastor” must know how to drive a tractor and spread weed killer. $7.25 an hour, 30 hours a week maximum.
