Matt Arthur Phil Smith Dr. Reed-Taylor Niki Knox Vanderslice Julia Ayers Sara Honeywill Alison Tyrer Deputy Commissioner Chief Operating Officer (COO) Chief Academic Officer (existing staff member reassigned) Quick Start Team Assistant Commissioner for External Affairs and Facilities Senior Executive Director of Facilities Executive Director of Communications

12 Haley Allison Darlene Smith Brian Harris Special Assistant to the Commissioner Executive Assistant to the Commissioner Project Manager with our Military Affairs team Camden County Meeting On December 30, 2014, I met with 10 community partners in Camden County to discuss the appropriate strategies for this year s Camden Fly-In. In attendance were representatives from the: (1) K-12 system, (2) Chamber, (3) Camden Partnership and Development authority. Representative Spencer was in attendance as well. J-233 (Kingsland) The Camden renovations are scheduled to go out for bid this month. TCSG-315 Project (Waycross) On December 16, 2014, the acquisition of the 1.176 acres from the City of Waycross was approved by the State Property Commission. The land is a 60 feet wide by 852 feet long right of way that runs through the middle of the college s campus. This right of way was previously a part of Isabella Street that was later closed and remains as a drainage easement that is maintained by the City of Waycross. The planned construction of a new Welding and Computer Information Systems building (TCSG- 315) in close proximity to this easement will necessitate the College to install sewer lines and cover a portion of this open ditch in order to facilitate a pedestrian crossing to the building. TCSG-247 Project (Brunswick) Due to the discovery and disposal of some waste products on the construction site, the College has made adjustments to some budget areas of the Golden Isles project (TCSG-247). One of the items we reduced was the size and number of landscape plantings. Thus, the Environmental Horticulture program in Waycross will review the landscape plans and grow some of the plantings for the new site.
