Five and a half minutes of the
Regular Session fifteen minutes was on
the county guaranteeing refinancing Hospital Authority debt,
due to County Manager Joe Pritchard reciting what’s in the agreement,
and Hospital Authority CEO Bill Forbes
speaking, and Chairman Bill Slaughter thanking him.
The agreement is in the board packet on the LAKE website from a LAKE open records request.
Citizen
Michelle Williams of Hahira asked for a spay and neuter ordinance,
noting Macon and Dalton have those already.
County Clerk Paige Dukes
praised Michelle Williams and other volunteers.
Second at almost two minutes was
5b. ACCG IRMA Property And Liability Program Renewal, and
third was a minute and a half on
5a. FY 2020 Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant, even though there was no discussion on either item.
Also cracking a minute,
the
5c. Grassy Pond Sewer Connection
will be paid for by Moody AFB.
Chairman Bill Slaughter
recognized Leadership Lowndes,
one person: Joe Dukes, husband of County Clerk Paige Dukes.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,

Actually quit claim deeds for previously abandoned property.
It’s the bit to the Withlacoochee River,
which they county says was “unopened”, which is a strange
way to describe the old dirt road that used to cross the river on a bridge. -
