Summary

Written by an AI model (gpt-6.1-sol) from the transcript. It is not part of the record, and the video is what was said.

The committee reviewed and approved two measures concerning state property. HR 1050 authorizes property transfers and leases. Members approved an amendment increasing the acreage of a proposed Floyd County school-system lease, then held separate votes on the amendment and the resolution after procedural clarification. HR 1051 authorizes nonexclusive easements. Discussion focused on a drainage-dispute settlement, access to land left landlocked after state purchases, and a Georgia Power easement at the Atlanta Farmers Market. Both measures received voice-vote approval, with no opposition heard. The State Property Commission representative agreed to send the acreage amendment for legal drafting and return it to the chair’s office.

HR 1050. Property; lease or conveyance of certain state owned property; authorize

From 0:09:58 · turns 4 to 321

The State Property Commission’s deputy executive director presented proposed transfers and leases supporting transportation, education, emergency services and other uses. The representative described a Farmers Market turn-lane transfer, a Dawson County communications-tower lease, a DeKalb road-widening transfer, and leases for Easterseals, schools, a post office and disability housing. Other proposals included a McDuffie County land exchange and a Cedartown transfer for fire stations. Asked whether the $369,829 DeKalb price reflected market value, the representative said it did and that the state generally charges market value unless it receives another benefit. The representative said affected legislators had raised no concerns. A committee member questioned whether a Floyd County charter-academy lease lasted five or 25 years; the representative confirmed five years in the version under consideration. For a separate Floyd County school-system lease, the representative requested increasing the acreage from 16 to 30.5, retaining a 10-year term and one 10-year renewal option at $10 annually. Following initial votes and procedural clarification, the committee separately approved the amendment and resolution by voice vote, with no opposition heard. The representative agreed to obtain revised legal language and return it to the chair’s office.

HR 1051. Property; granting of non-exclusive easements of certain state owned property; authorize

From 0:10:01 · turns 4 to 287

The State Property Commission’s deputy executive director supplied two Department of Natural Resources letters addressing earlier questions about easements. For Altama Wildlife Management Area, the representative said a drainage easement would resolve claims that department alterations obstructed water flow from neighboring property. The representative said the settlement included replacement culverts at the property owner’s expense, stormwater improvements, flashboard risers and four contributions of $50,000, $75,000, $50,000 and $150,000. For Eupatoria Ravines Wildlife Management Area, the representative said the department had purchased about 8,800 acres from Timberlands 2 LLC to protect rare habitats and expand outdoor recreation. According to the representative, an access easement intended for retained, landlocked property had inadvertently been omitted from a survey; the proposal would correct that omission. The chair identified the retained parcel as 310 acres, which the representative confirmed. Asked about opposition letters, the representative said none had been received. Another member asked about Clayton County property, and the representative identified a 1.6-acre Georgia Power easement at the Atlanta Farmers Market. The committee approved the resolution by voice vote, with no opposition heard.

    We gotta remove this one.

Uh, the w- the way it currently reads is, uh, lease 16 acres being a portion of the Georgia Northwestern Technical College campus to the Floyd County School System, uh, for a term of 10 years with one 10-year renewal option at $10 annually.

    And we need to send that back to Legislative Council.

  105. 0:18:22

    Yes, sir. We'll-

  106. 0:18:23

    Right

  107. 0:18:23

    ... this one have to go back to Legislative Council-

  108. 0:18:26

    Okay

  111. 0:18:27

    ... prior to going to the Senate floor.

  112. 0:18:28

    All right. Any questions or comments from members of the panel? Senator. Otherwise, uh, questions or comments or motions?

  113. 0:18:42

    Any que- do I hear a motion to do pass?

  114. 0:18:48

    Mr. Chairman, this, this-

  115. 0:18:50

    W- with the understanding of we're gonna, without Polk County's action, to remove that one. To accept-

  116. 0:18:58

    Mr. Chairman, we would ask HR 1050,

  117. 0:19:05

    LC 650024, um, as amended for Floyd County.

  118. 0:19:18

    Okay. But that, that should properly read, uh, that, uh, all of the conveyances except for Floyd County.

    Is that, would that take care of all-

  125. 0:19:30

    Mr. Chairman, it, it, would, would... I, I guess, uh, the question would be can the committee go ahead to approve it as amended-

  126. 0:19:38

    Okay

  127. 0:19:39

    ... and then-

  128. 0:19:39

    And then you bring it back with the proper language. That-

  129. 0:19:39

    ... and then we have Legislative Council- Yes, sir

  130. 0:19:42

    ... uh, uh, do I have a second?

  131. 0:19:43

    ... uh, make the, the, the change.

  202. 0:22:12

    ... regarding this one. Uh-

  203. 0:22:14

    Section 287?

  204. 0:22:16

    Yes, sir.

  205. 0:22:17

    All right. Go ahead.

  206. 0:22:19

    On, uh, January 26th, the Department of Natural Resources entered into a settlement agreement with Altama HIC, Altama LLC, uh, regarding claims that the Department of Natural Resources made alterations to the Altama Wildlife Management Area, which impeded the natural flow of water from the Hoyer property. And on February 24, 2026, the Board of Natural Resources voted to approve the non-exclusive drainage easement to resolve the hydrological dispute between Department of Natural Resources and Hoyer.

  207. 0:22:56

    Um, in return for granting the non-exclusive drainage easement, uh, to Hoyer, uh, the Department of Natural Resources will receive several benefits as a part of this agreement, um, which are listed in the letter. Uh-

  208. 0:23:10

    Let me go back to the letter then.

  209. 0:23:12

    That, that includes, uh, 20, uh, the replacement of 24-inch culverts at the, the cost of Hoyer, um, stormwater outfalls, the installation of flashboard risers, and then cap, uh, capital contributions to the Department of Natural Resources, uh, for, uh, multiple thing. One 50,000, one 75,000, one 50,000, and then another for 150,000.

  210. 0:23:43

    A- and this is, uh, I had a conversation with Representative Buckner, but this is entirely different from the state money that was given because they, uh, claimed some land in Talbot County, which is my county. I- is this-

  211. 0:23:59

    Yes, we've, we've also-

  212. 0:24:00

    So this is a different-

  213. 0:24:01

    We've, I've also got a, a letter for that one-

  214. 0:24:03

    Okay

  215. 0:24:03

    ... as well.

  216. 0:24:03

    All right, go right ahead.

  217. 0:24:04

    Mm-hmm.

  218. 0:24:05

    Okay.

  219. 0:24:06

    Any other questions about the-

  220. 0:24:08

    No

  221. 0:24:08

    ... Hoyer?

  222. 0:24:10

    No, go right ahead.

  223. 0:24:11

    Uh, the other one that, that we were requested to get additional information on was the a- access easement across the Eupatoria Ravines Wildlife Management Area in Talbot County. Is that the one you're referring to-

  224. 0:24:24

    Yes

  225. 0:24:24

    ... Mr. Chairman? Um, this relates to the ongoing acquisition of property from Timberlands 2 LLC. Uh, to date, the Department of Natural Resources has purchased right at 8,800 acres from Timberlands 2, and the acquisition of this property, uh, has, they, they, they've actually, uh, acquired this property to protect rare habitants and provide new opportunities for the public, and public and to pursue outdoor recreation.

  226. 0:24:58

    During pha- the phase two acquisition, the property survey was supposed to include an access easement to some property that is landlocked that Timberlands owns-

  227. 0:25:09

    I'm with you, right

  228. 0:25:10

    ... and it was, uh, inadvertently left off of the easement.

  229. 0:25:13

    Yeah.

  230. 0:25:14

    And so this is to... Or it was left off the survey. And so this is to go back and add that easement.

  231. 0:25:19

    This is the last paragraph in the letter, 310 acres.

  232. 0:25:22

    Yes, sir.

  233. 0:25:23

    Okay.

  234. 0:25:23

    Mm-hmm. So this just provides them with access to their property that's landlocked as a result of the-

  235. 0:25:30

    Okay

  236. 0:25:31

    ... acquisition-

  237. 0:25:32

    All right

  238. 0:25:32

    ... of the property.

  239. 0:25:32

    All right. Have we had any o- uh, letters of opposition from the-

  240. 0:25:37

    No, sir

  241. 0:25:37

    ... anybody that, that... Okay. Any other questions or comments from members of the committee? What is your ple- Yes, Sen-

  242. 0:25:45

  250. 0:26:08

  251. 0:26:09

    ... 1051-

  252. 0:26:10

    One?

  253. 0:26:10

  254. 0:26:18

    Clayton County.

  266. 0:26:38

    I can't-

  267. 0:26:38

    That, that's in reference to an easement that's being, uh, it's a, uh, to grant an easement to the Georgia Power Company-

  268. 0:26:45

    I don't know where it is on the bill.

  274. 0:26:54

    In the sum- in the summaries right there. Okay.

  275. 0:26:58

    Are you clear, Senator?

  276. 0:26:59

    Thank you. I am.

    All right.

  278. 0:27:00

    Okay. Any other questions, Chairman?

  300. 0:28:16

    1051, the counsel's telling us we need to do another vote to, vote, vote to approve, right? We did the amendment, now we need to do the amendment to approve it, right?

  301. 0:28:26

    Yes. The one we amended, which I believe was, we did 1050 first.

  302. 0:28:30

    Yes.

  303. 0:28:31

    One vote to amend to end vote, and we need to split that.

  304. 0:28:33

    All right.

  305. 0:28:34

    So we can do the amendment vote.

  306. 0:28:35

    All right. Do we have a vote, uh, to amend, uh... I'm sorry, ev- I'm getting a little mixed up here myself. That was 1050. Resolution 1050-

  311. 0:29:06

    Mr. Chairman, uh, will your office send it to the legislative council to have it amended or do, would you like for us to do that?

  312. 0:29:12

    You, you, you... Why don't you do that?

  313. 0:29:13

    Yes, sir.

  314. 0:29:14

    And we'll, we'll look at it-
