In an interesting version of a revolving door,
county appointee Michael H. McDowell’s KLVB term is expiring,
so is Valdosta appointee Bubba Highsmith’s,
and the county proposes appointing Highsmith.
Highsmith is

a State Farm Insurance Agent.

Also on

the Lowndes County Commission agenda
for 8:30AM Monday morning are:

banking services (looks like
Ameris Bank costs way less than BB&T, and SunTrust even less,
but Ameris has the best interest rate),
a

computer bulk purchase for $54,795.98, yet another

pump purchase,
allegedly for $0 dollars because this is actually for specifications rather than actual purchase.

Typical Application: Residential Pump System, Triple “D” Pump Company

Finally, the tabled-from-last-meeting

Ordinance about Board of Health Rules:
will the Commissioners have had time to read the one copy
the County Manager allows them?

Plus an

alcohol license,

without which no meeting of the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners
is complete.
