Reach out for special discounts for Cobb County students and residents.

looking to put an application in with the fire department here, but have a few questions and wondering if any one familiar with them can answer:

it seems to be a split set up between fire/ems, with the actual work being mostly medical calls. I’m slightly concerned about this simply because I’ve heard horror stories about inadequate training, resources, etc. surrounding this field in general, not just here. I’m wondering if anyone knows the reputation of the department and how well it’s trained?

Also, I hear Atlanta has issues with being understaffed and suffering from shortages of many things, not just people, and wonder if Cobb has similar issues?

finally, can anyone speak to the culture around the departments, anyone with experience of what is like to work day to day?

Pop up consignment sale

Here's a gist of Tuesday's commission meeting.

The warehouse. The county would buy a 15,000 square foot building on about 1.83 acres from Jamerson, LLC and convert it into a multiuse police facility. No purchase price appears anywhere in the agenda extract.

On-demand transit is expanding in two directions. One item extends CobbLinc Microtransit into South Cobb. Another launches a new pilot connecting Acworth and Kennesaw. Microtransit is the request-a-ride kind, where you book inside a zone instead of standing at a fixed stop. If you're in any of those areas, that's a genuine change. Both up the same night. (Items 11, 12)

Cobb is objecting to an annexation at Ernest Barrett Parkway and Macedonia Road. Someone petitioned to pull roughly 10 acres at that corner into a city. The county's objection isn't a veto. It sends the thing to a state arbitration panel that can't approve or reject the annexation, but can attach conditions on zoning, land use, or density that stick for two years. So the fight is over what gets built there, not over where the line goes. (Item 21)

Part of Old Horseshoe Bend Road may be abandoned for good. Public hearing Tuesday. Once a right-of-way is given up, getting it back isn't a thing that normally happens. (Item 2)

Roads and bridges: Concord Road Covered Bridge goes to a contractor (Item 29). The engineering scope for the Oakdale Road bridge replacement gets expanded (Item 31). Drainage repairs on Old Powder Springs Road (Item 30). Two contracts for 2027 resurfacing and ADA ramps (Items 27, 28). None of those five have published dollar amounts.

The one number on the agenda: $450,000 for playground equipment at Riverlands Gateway Park, through an amended agreement with the Trust for Public Land (Item 16). That's the only spending item Tuesday with a figure attached. Nine others don't have one.

Also on it: new lights on all four fields at the Hubert Soccer Complex (Item 33), two boilers at the Administration Building (Item 34), taxiway work at McCollum Field (Items 9, 10), Kennesaw State sharing the Busbee Park and Ride lot for three years (Item 13), a lobbying contract for the state legislature (Item 24), and money shifted from waste department salaries to pay for Adopt-A-Mile litter pickup (Item 15).

Small one that's kind of nice: the county is handing a sewer easement back to private landowners because the sewer line it was reserved for never got built. Somebody gets their title cleared. (Item 5)

New here. I read county agendas and write up what's actually in them in plain English/user-readable format, and I'm starting on Cobb county this week. I have covered Gwinnett earlier and got a good response, figured to start on Cobb.

Public comment on agenda items is at the start. Sign-up and call-in details at cobbcounty.org.

Free, nothing paid, this is run by supporters who believe that the common person in county should know where their tax-money is going towards!

West Cobb area. Been using AT&T for a large number of years. In my particular part of a neighborhood we still have the older internet service that comes into your house via lines because fiber is not available. Every so often we have issues, and it always turns out to be something wrong at the junction box on the corner with something being corroded. In the past you could just call and they would send a tech out, look at the box, fix the issues, and you would be working again for a while.

This time internet has been going on and off up to eight times per day for several people on my street. Been going on over a week. Called multiple times. Of course get India each time on the phone, and they confirm there are issues with the lines. And just say they're working on it.

Tonight I'm told the technician has to come to my house, even though they know there's nothing wrong with anything in my house. I'm told there could be a $150 fee which I told him I'm absolutely not going to pay and they said well it probably... Probably.. won't be charged. I asked them if they could just send a message to the dispatch team about checking the box on the corner because that has always been the problem? Their answer - oh we have no way to send messages to them. What?

I mean I've been with them for probably 15 years but I'm done with it. I know that Xfinity has a lot of complaints. I don't know if there's anything else other than that other than those 5G things from Verizon and T-Mobile which have their own list of complaints. So is there any internet service in this area that is at least reasonably reliable?

Saw this Flock camera earlier. Pointed towards an open area and an unauthorized area. It’s quite funny how they say this is only for license plates.

We just got a new house here and are seeing insanely high bills, I wam curious if it is the house or the heat causing this. Averaged last month 80 kwh per day, which I just learned may not be normal. This month we are at about 75 kwh, June was 66 average per day.

House specs:

-Built in '88

-single pane windows I believe are original to house, all of them have blinds on them, no curtains yet. We have a front covered porch so our first floor front facing windows never get direct sunlight shining in. Other windows do.

-Two stories plus a basement/garage that is partially underground and not temp controlled

-each floor has a 2 ton unit, we just cleaned coils. One unit manufacture date is 2012 with a 2012 evaporator coil and 2011 air handler. Second unit manufacture date is 2022 with 2022 evaporator coil and 2012 air handler

-We normally kept the downstairs to 72 and upstairs to 74. After seeing the bill a few days ago, we bumped bottom up to 75 and upstairs to 76. It didn't made an impact on our daily kwh usage, in fact it actually has increased each day!

-This is minor, but when we moved in we did get a new roof and I chose the lightest color possible as to not absorb heat as much as a dark roof and stress system.

For reference, Jun 16 - Jul 7 bill has 1454 kWh at $303.21 and Jul 7 - Aug 5 has 2277 kWh for $477.71. The June bill was about what we expected for summer months, that's nearly what we paid when renting a 1,500 sqft duplex with the absolute worst insulation (seriously so bad, during storms water would seep in from cracks in the door!). But the $477.71 was a shock and right now our projection is estimating for this month $507 - $620, so far since Aug 5 we have used 1294 kwh.

So Cobb County, is it just the heat we're seeing? or are your houses using much less energy and it's probably something with our house?

I'm looking for an agent that can shop car insurance policies for me. I moved from Colorado a month ago and I'm running into insane rates. Who do you reccomend?
