Yes, Jay does know it.

Jay knows that this proves that Kingfish Feller has either never read the TAD law or no longer has the mental acuity to comprehend what he is reading. sandy feller Saint Marys, GA Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! #87 1 hr ago a few answers. re water and sewer. city approached PSA. They (PSA) floated bond issue for St Marys to finance bond issue after guarantee by St. Marys that they would be responsible. this is the way the city bypassed the public re the bonds. they told bank bonds would be paid for by splost and building fees, as you know both money sources tanked. so the citizens are paying.Re the TAD board. the city council votes on the membership for the Tad board. I suppose they could name the JDA members if they wanted. i believe the term of office is 10 years. they would have the power tocontrol all monies, set up new TAD'S and would have emminent domain powers. the city council would have no power over the TAD board once they were appointed. how do you like them apples? Marion Kingsland, GA Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! #88 1 hr ago Hold it. Does Jay know this? The facts - what the applicable law actually says: (b) Any delegation of redevelopment powers pursuant to the authority of subsection (a) of this Code section shall be limited by the following requirements: (1) Any redevelopment plan must be approved by resolution of the local legislative body of the political subdivision as a condition precedent to the implementation of said redevelopment plan, and such approval shall be subject to the requirements of Code Section 36-44-7; (2) The boundaries of any redevelopment area must be described by resolution of the local legislative body of the political subdivision; (3) A tax allocation district must be created by resolution of the local legislative body of the political subdivision; (4) The issuance of any tax allocation bonds shall be by resolution of the local legislative body of the political subdivision; (5) The power of eminent domain may only be exercised under this chapter by the local legislative body of a political subdivision; and (6) A local legislative body may not delegate to a redevelopment agency created under subsection (b), (c), (d), or (e) of Code Section 36-44-4 any urban redevelopment project powers except those which may be conferred on an urban redevelopment agency under Code Section 36-61-17 of the "Urban Redevelopment Law." There, highlighted in red, is the actual Georgia law which specifically denies eminent domain powers to a TAD Authority created by city council. Folks, it is a fact that Mr. Feller often plays fast 'n' loose with the facts. Whether it is by knowing design or from genuine incompetence, I'll leave it to the readers to decide.
