The Regular Session two weeks ago took 26 minutes, but 14 of
that was the County Manager’s Report, 2 was the Budget award
presentation, and 1 was the invocation and pledge, so 9 minutes
were about business.

The Lowndes County Commissioners unanimously approved
everything, including the application for state funds for the Val
Del Road intersection expansion to support subdivisions and the
almost $9 million jail expansion. There was some discussion about
the process of moving from Code Red to RAVE Alert.

Again in the Regular Session after they did it in the Work
Session: a presentation about Lowndes County
having won a Distinguished Budget Award from the Government
Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the 18th year.

Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a
few notes by Gretchen Quarterman, followed by a LAKE video
playlist.
