At their Monday morning Work Session, the Lowndes County Commissioners had the most to say about the 6.c. Advanced Disposal Services Residential Solid Waste Franchise Renewal, about prices, trash escaping, and recycling.
In 7. Reports, County Manager Paige Dukes called on Utilities Manager Steve Stalvey to talk about the Water Notifications that were recently mailed to all water customers, even though only some are affected.
They vote this evening, Tuesday, at 5:30 PM.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman, followed by a LAKE video playlist.
