For the first time ever! Lowndes County has returned the board packet before the Work Session.

LAKE sent an open records request Tuesday, and the county actually supplied the packet Friday, with this note:

The packet you requested is attached. We understand and are aware of the 3 days for open records requests. However, in many instances, the packet is not ready until Friday morning.

The packet is now on the LAKE website.

LAKE looks forward to the county putting all these packet documents on the county’s own website, along with the agenda and agenda sheets.
