Appointment to Tourism Authority, Roads and Towers @ LCC 2018-09-24

Why does the county leave us guessing and not just name who resigned, and say who Michael Smith is? Maybe they’ll say at the Lowndes County Commission Work Session this morning at 8:30 AM, or maybe when they vote tomorrow at 5:30 PM.

“Mr. Michael Smith has expressed interest in being appointed to” the Valdosta-Lowndes County Conference Center And Tourism Authority, says the agenda sheet. It doesn’t say who Michael Smith is. And it doesn’t say who resigned, but it had to be one of the three county appointees: Robert Jefferson, David Motley, or Molly Deese. Probably not Molly Deese, Vice President and General Manager at Wild Adventures Theme Park, who recently announced an expansion of the park. I’d guess not Robert Jefferson, so my guess is David Motley.

For that matter, the county could say in advance when a vacancy occurs and ask for applications.

Also on the agenda are roads and telecommunications. And alcohol.
