They
appointed Ben Copeland to the Hospital Authority.
More later on why they seem to be doing it backwards.
Nobody spoke in the
Public Hearing for abandonment of Excession RoW off Payton Place,
so they abandoned it and
quit-claimed it to the adjoining landowner.
Then they determined to hold a Public Hearing to
abandon unopened RoW of Avenue I,
although there was an ownership question from Commissioner Clay Griner,
which County Engineer Mike Fletcher answered.
They approved in this public meeting
a list of three elected officals using county-issued credit cards,
but they did not reveal to the public who was on the list.
The County Manager had
no report
and there were
no citizens wishing to be heard
so they adjourned.

3 Hospital Authority appointments, 3 road abandonments @ LCC 2016-11-07
On this morning’s Work Session agenda, Lowndes County is replacing 3 of its 4 Hospital Authority board members. Of those, 2 of 3 are on the Hospital Foundation board, so how much change is this? And why does the Lowndes County Commission seem to be doing this appointment backward to the way Georgia law requires?
These appointments are especially interesting after the
Valdosta City Council’s call for Hospital Authority resignations
back in September.
The city’s list of Authority board members
is out of date, still listing Continue reading
