The previous morning
they invented a consent agenda, such as Hahira and many others use all the time,
but the Lowndes County Commission
didn’t call it that.
As expected,
they appointed Kelley Saxon to DBHDDB.
And they
adjourned into an executive session.
Below are links to each LAKE video of this Regular Session, with a few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the agenda and the LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session.
