Look at Steven Sainz' 2-week old Campaign Finance Report starting on page 4. Most of his contributions come from out of Atlanta with many $3,300 contributions coming from Committees and gambling promoters. Who ARE those special interests? Can we really believe he's working for us?

So here's the story on the minigolf/soccer conflict. Soccer has been negotiating with the County Commission who have not been open to other public input until tonight. Tonight! With barely 24 hours notice! The Soccer Association believes the County will spend $4 million on the soccer field complex. We believe the Soccer fields should be first rate. And they can be without destroying the minigolf site. We also believe that Commissioners Casey and Turner have not negotiated in good faith because they BOTH know there has been an interest in restoring the adjacent Pro-3 Minigolf for the rest of us taxpayers who have no interest in soccer and want a new year-round recreation venue for our families.

It's the typical Camden County Administrative mismanagement at work. Cutting deals with consultants and special interests rather than including the public in their decisions. Could this County/Soccer deal kill SPLOST? There are a lot of soccer players, but there are far more voters who can play minigolf. But then, two of the three commissioners' votes needed tonight have already expressed their positions - before the public has even been invited to speak.

Shame. Shame. Shame.

Wouldn’t a centrally-located minigolf make a fine family fun place? Date night, kid birthday parties, tuxedo wedding celebrations, and families putting around together is EXACTLY what we need.

Well, the former Pro-3 Minigolf located near the Camden County Soccer Field Complex is OWNED BY THE COUNTY but has fallen into ruin. Pro-3 is just blocks away from our county's big hospital!

I propose Camden County lease the former minigolf to our new non-profit and let us show them what citizens can do with our energy and determination. We’ll form a non-profit organization whose leadership manages volunteer Camden non-profit organizations who will share weeks of operating the renewed Pro-3 Minigolf while earning the concession profits for their non-profits.

But first, we need to put together the core group that will do the heavy lifting of planning, recruiting, rebuilding the golf course, and managing the volunteer schedule.

If you and/or your organization would like to make this happen, please contact me at [email protected].

So, Where's It Going To Be?

Our guess is the Camden County Airport will be way out Highway 40 West towards Folkston. The Georgia DOT’s justification for the airport included serving Camden County and Charlton County. The landfill and gun range already make that area a tough sell for folks wanting to build where there is peac...

PRESS RELEASE

November 3, 2022
Woodbine, Georgia

Camden Lawyer Myers Named County Administrator

In another demonstration of grotesque judgment, Camden County Commissioners voted Tuesday night to appoint County Attorney John Myers as Interim County Administrator.

Myers will replace resigned County Administrator Steve Howard effective on November 15, 2022. Deputy County Administrator Shawn Boatright, who was heir apparent to Howard, also recently resigned from Camden County.

Camden County is engaged in multiple legal matters that are or have been, overseen by Mr. Myers in his official capacity as Camden County’s County Attorney. The County website outlines his job description since 2014:

“The county attorney is appointed by the Camden County Board of Commissioners and serves as chief legal counsel to the board in all legal matters. The attorney provides legal advice and representation to the board of commissioners, the county administrator, all county departments, and the boards and committees organized under the Board of Commissioners on matters related to their official responsibilities. Mr. Myers attends all Commission Meetings, attends all Tax Assessors and Planning Commission meetings, and advises all constitutional officers.

“The county attorney manages all county leases and county litigation issues, but does not handle any criminal matters. Duties also include drafting ordinances, resolutions, contracts and other legal documents, handling real estate transactions and performing legal research. The county attorney also acts as the prosecutor for the Magistrate Court for all ordinance violations.”

There is a substantial risk that Mr. Myers' legal representation of Camden County and Camden citizens while he also acts as the employee directing day-to-day county operations and departments of the county as Interim County Administrator, would materially and adversely conflict depending on which title Mr. Myers was wearing in a particular moment. Mr. Myers’ move from contracted County Attorney to Camden County government contract employee requires he resign as County Attorney or refuse the position of County Administrator to avoid anticipated frequent conflicts of interest.

For instance, aside from risks associated with his apparent lack of any experience as a County Administrator, Mr. Myers is presently enmeshed in several lawsuits involving various aspects of Spaceport Camden. It seems fair to ask if Camden County citizens will receive the legal representation necessary to prevent further taxpayer liabilities and losses.

Since it was not stated in Tuesday’s official announcement, we hope that Mr. Myers’ contract as County Attorney will be terminated as soon as possible prior to his assuming Camden County employee responsibilities as County Administrator.

We look forward to the announcement of the person who will be selected to represent the citizens of Camden County in legal matters. And at what cost?
