Videos of ZBOA decisions on
one
single-family residence and a
car dealership sign in the county,
and
an electric company sign parking variance in the city.
They meet again this afternoon.
Here’s the agenda, with decisions, followed by the videos. Continue reading
It’s good the Commission is having these meetings where they can
hear directly from the various department heads.
And with LAKE’s videos, you the citizens can hear what the departments
are asking for.
Also, why are these called budget hearings?
The public doesn’t get to speak, so they are not actually public hearings,
and they are not the state-required budget hearings before passing a budget:
they don’t even have a draft budget yet.
And the next time the Commission rushes citizen speakers to finish,

this 14 minutes of dead air
or the several others like it in yesterday’s meeting.
They met in the Commission Chambers,

Billed
back in December as “Commission Meets with Constitutional Officers,
Elected Officials, and Outside Agencies”
and two weeks later than originally scheduled, it’s
three days of what is on the County’s calendar now as
Budget Hearings,
today, Wednesday,
and
Thursday,
all three days at the Lowndes County Governmental Building,
300 N. Patterson St., Valdosta, GA 31601.
There’s no agenda posted.
At least these meetings are on the county’s calendar before the last minute,
which is an improvement on
last year.
However, last year they did publish an agenda.
Here are videos of last year’s similar hearings.
