Yesterday morning Chairman Bill Slaughter

looked straight at the LAKE video camera and said:
“We’ll have a record-setting short meeting tomorrow, with one agenda item.”
Then he chuckled.

The Work Session was 17 minutes and 35 seconds, because of 12 minutes on the

Special Presentation by Andrew Hill on Opioid Litigation (Work Session).

The longest other item was 3 minutes on

6 b. Lowndes County Government Probation Plan and Resolution,

Maybe 15 minutes because of the
Special Presentation by Andrew Hill on Opioid Litigation (Work Session).

It won’t take them five minutes to discuss

a water and sewer easement
for the sinkhole-prone recently-renamed

Moody Family Housing Housing,
now called Azalea Commons,
which is
in a recharge zone for the Floridan Aquifer from which we all drink.
That subdivision only has water and sewer lines running by it up Val Del Road
because
the county ran those lines to enable
the Nelson Hill subdivision,
for which the county permitted razing wetlands, and
which then mysteriously

got staff variances to avoid building condominiums,
mixed elevations, or becoming a gated community.

It’s unlikely to take longer for them to discuss the
Lowndes County Government Probation Plan and Resolution.

Here’s

the agenda.
Gretchen is on her way there with the LAKE video camera.
