Ordinance or policy?
That question comes up for at least two items,
Special assessment
and
Speed control devices,
in the
minutes of the 10 January 2011 Work Session
of the Lowndes County Commission.

Update 2013-01-23 8:46 AM:
They did at least part of the minimum and posted a notice on the door.
How do we know the Valdosta Lowndes County Conference Center
and Tourism Authority (VLCCCTA) meets this morning at 8AM?
Gretchen asked when she
picked up a list of its current board members.
And did I get the right Rick Williams in that picture? That one is Pastor of Northside Baptist Church. Is he the same Rick Williams who is Vice Chairman of VLCCCTA? (Google didn’t find any pictures for Chairman Rob Evans.) If it’s an honor and a privilege to serve on an Authority, shouldn’t the Authority tell us who is serving, instead of making us guess?
This meeting is not on

Stopped by the main desk of the Conference Center Wednesday.
I asked for a list of the current members of the board
and was provided a photocopy of a February 2012 list.

The County Commission continues to do the peoples’ business in secret.
The solid waste exclusive franchise agreement was tabled for a month,
due to some mysterious new information,
and two citizens pleaded with the Commission to reconsider the whole thing.
The developer who got to speak at Monday’s Work Session
asked for his development to be tabled for a month, and the Commission did so.
After the meeting, three people from Moody AFB trooped into a side
room with the Chairman.
Also, if it’s a privilege to serve and an honor to be appointed, why does the Lowndes County Commission not tell us who they are appointing? In the Work Session they muttered some proposed names unintelligbly, and in the Regular Session they didn’t say anything about who some of the new appointees are, and none of the appointees spoke. As near as I could tell, only one bothered to show up: VLCIA reappointee Mary Gooding.
Update 2012-11-20: Jody Hall reminds me he was there as an appointee. He says he was ready to speak, but nobody asked him to.

Monday morning the Lowndes County Commission considers and
Tuesday evening votes on members of five appointed boards.
Who are the candidates?
The agenda doesn’t say.
The two rezonings are the same ones
the Planning Commission recently considered.
Presumably the solid waste ordinance has something to do with
the recent privatization decision.

Who is on the Tourism Authority Board, and why do they have
such rapid changeover in executive directors?
The Commissioners considered Monday 9 January and made Tuesday 10 January
three appointments to the Tourism Authority:
Commissioner Joyce Evans (reappointment),
Jerome “Andy” Anderson (reappointment),
and Greg Charbeneau apparently to replace
Linda Jenson (who had been appointed to fill a vacancy for ? Montgomery).
5.a. Valdosta/Lowndes County Conference Center and Tourism AuthorityCounty Manager Joe Pritchard said at the Tuesday Regular Session that Greg Charbeneau is a Vice President at Wild Adventures. Here’s video of that session:

According to
Wild Adventures’ own press release of 29 July 2011
and
the VDT 14 August 2011,
Greg Charbeneau is also their general manager.
