They vote tonight at 5:30 PM.

At yesterday’s Work Session, there were two unscheduled reports.

Mark Stalvey of the county Housing Authority
said they’re working together with Habitat for Humanity
to form a nonprofit for collecting funds for rehabilitating
housing, and they’re asking for $5,000 each from Valdosta and Lowndes County
to get the nonprofit up and running, in return for which each would get
to appoint some board members; the rest would be elected by the nonprofit board.

Last,

Tina Folsom with Lowndes Associated Ministries to People (LAMP)
said their executive director left,
so they don’t need their space in the Leila Ellis building.
They’d like to be let out of their lease and have the funds applied
to another county building they’re also renting space in.
