The board packet materials for the Hahira and Valdosta items are on the LAKE website, thanks to City Planner Matt Martin.

LAKE has no materials for the Lowndes County items, and no copy of the draft minutes from the previous meeting, because Lowndes County has not yet sent them in response to a LAKE open records request.
