Here are the rest of the videos from the Hahira City Council meeting of 2 August 2012, including the very interesting scheduled agenda items in which each Council member, the City Manager, and the Mayor give their thoughts on issues relevant to the City of Hahira.
Regular Session, Hahira City Council (Hahira), Videos by Gretchen Quarterman for Lowndes Area Knowledge Exchange (LAKE), Hahira, Lowndes County, Georgia, 2 August 2012.
Here’s a video playlist of most of the Hahira City Council Regular Session of Thursday 2 August 2012. Hahira City Council (population about 2,800) spent more time in open public discussion about each of
several individual agenda items than the Lowndes County Commission (population 111,000+) typically spends on an entire “open meeting”.
Near the beginning they still have Citizens to Be Heard. Maybe they’re not afraid of their citizens? Citizens mostly wanted to talk about the police chief’s proposal to fine people who didn’t mow their lawns.
A few more videos will be added, probably today, (now available as
Council Comments)
of the votes on cost of living increases (yea), SPLOST VII (yea), the consent agenda (yea), and council comments at the end of the session.
The agenda is below after the videos; thanks to City Manager Jonathan Sumner for sending it. Here’s the video playlist:

1.) In 2010 permission was given by Bullard to Allgreen, the mayor’s
employer, to store Allgreen equipment on city property, 6571 Union Road
Dumpsite, without bringing the issue before the City Council.
HEC decided that while he shouldn’t have done it, the Hahira City Council
already met on that subject and he already agreed not to do it again,
so there was nothing more for the ethics commission to do on that complaint,
although the City Council could take it up again if it wanted to.
In the regular meeting, Hahira City Council, June 3,
Mr. Benjamin speaks up in Citizens Wishing to be Heard:
As you can see by the pan around the room, the meeting was pretty well attended.
The average local government session around here gets maybe a couple of
people who aren’t elected or staff. This one had probably half a dozen.
Cast: Walter Bird (driving), Sam (the horse), Nancy Evans Parr, Winfrey Murray Hendley, Wayne Bullard, Beverly Brown Underwood, Barbara Stratton,
several children,
and watching on the sidewalk, John S. Quarterman.
Third Thursday, 15 April 2010, Hahira, Lowndes County, Georgia.
Silly me, I believed the VDT 10 January 2014 when Stuart Taylor wrote
“Newly elected Hahira Mayor Bruce Cain is sworn in Thursday by Judge Vernita Bender as his wife, Billie Cain, watches”.
