The Lowndes County Commission votes tonight at 5:30 PM, after minimal discussion yesterday morning.

At the end of yesterday morning’s Work Session,
County Manager Paige Dukes

asked for an Executive Session
to discuss pending litigation, plus a bigger than usual room to meet in,
due to wanting many department heads there.

Earlier, Chairman Bill Slaughter asked

to add an agenda item for sale of real property to the Industrial Authority.
There was no discussion of this item, simply the addition of the item to the agenda for the voting session. Apparently all the commissioners know all about this from some executive session. The public knows nothing.

Also, Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker asked

to move the two millage adoption items
to the end of the agenda for tonight.

The only thing they spent more than two minutes on was

5.h. Adding Dispatch Consoles 11 and 12 for the 911 Center.
