Appointments to 3 boards @ LCC 2016-01-25

Did you know there were openings on three boards? Probably not, since the county didn’t post anything in public. Now the day before they’re appointed, we learn “Dr. Lynne Feldman resigned from the Hospital Authority, leaving a vacant seat on the board. Dr. Steven Brian Dawson, Dr. John W. Devine, and Dr. John D. Roan have all been recommended for the position.” County Manager Joe Pritchard did not say who recommended them, or how they knew to apply. Similarly, on the Lowndes County Division of Family and Children Services Board (DFCS), somebody unnamed didn’t want to be reappointed, and “Elsie C. Napier has been recommended for the position.” And on the Valdosta-Lowndes County Conference Center and Tourism Authority Board, David Motley wants to be reappointed. At least we know how he knew.

There’s more on the agenda.

    Elsie Napier used to be a Nurse Practitioner at the Health Department, back when they used to be my primary health provider. She’s a good woman, and will probably do us well.

      Well, that’s the puzzling part about these appointments. The applicants usually are highly qualified and submit resumes to back that up. Those are public documents, so publishing them on the county’s own website would only make the Commission look more credible. Advertising openings in advance might even bring in more qualified applicants. So what are they afraid of? -jsq
