Why is the county accepting
Bids for Bottled Water Service?
If its own water, or Valdosta’s, is good enough for the taxpayers,
shouldn’t it be good enough for Commission and staff?
They’ve also got a
Bid for Coffee Service,
but we don’t grow coffee here, as far as I know, so that’s not the same issue.

With many local people needing jobs, why does the county continue to renew an
Annual Contract Renewal for Prison Work Details?

Looks like Joseph G. Stevens will be reappointed to the
Lowndes County Public Facilities Authority.
Both G. Norman Bennett and incumbent Anthony Payton want to be appointed to the
one slot opening on the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Airport Authority.
Their applications were not included with the agenda, so who can say
which one is most qualified?

I guess they didn’t decide

to relocate the Public Defender’s Office into
the historic Lowndes County Courthouse,
since on the agenda is a three-year
Lease Agreement for the Public Defender’s Office at its present location.

Looks like J. Glenn Gregory will provide the
Architectural Services for the Lowndes County Civic Center Renovations
and the
Architectural Services for the Naylor Community Center, both funded via SPLOST VII.
Both apparently without competitive bids.

Here’s

the agenda, which also has
Declaration of Surplus Items and Authorization for Sale/Disposal
and
Easter Seals Southern Georgia Presentation (Work Session Only).
