\n
\n<\/a>
\nLast week I went to the Rainwater Conference Center to attend the
\nValdosta-Lowndes County Conference Center & Tourism Authority Board
\nMeeting.\n<\/p>\n

\nI had discovered
\n
\nthe time and date of this meeting<\/a> by asking at the
\ninformation booth at the Conference Center one day when I was there
\nfor another event.\n<\/p>\n

\nI arrived slightly before the 8:00 appointed time and was greated
\nwarmly by
\n
\nCouncilman Tim Carroll<\/a>
\nand
\n
\nConference Center Director Tim Riddle<\/a>.
\n
\n<\/a>
\nBeing the Conference Center, they served a hot breakfast
\n(other morning boards have fruits and sweets but this was something
\nthat you might get up for).\n<\/p>\n

\nAs 8:00 came there was apparently not a quorum, so calls went out to
\nmissing
\n
\nmembers<\/a> to see if one more could be attacted. At 8:15 it was
\nclear that there would be no additional members coming so no formal
\nmeeting was held, no votes were taken but an informal review of the
\nagenda was performed:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. \nCall to Order\u2014Chairman\u2014Rob Evans<\/p>\n
  2. \nApproval of the Minutes from the November 28, 2012 meeting<\/p>\n
  3. \nNovember and December 2012 Financial Report\u2014Tim Riddle<\/p>\n
  4. \nIndeminfication Agreement\u2014Tim Riddle<\/p>\n
  5. \nAuthorization Changes on Money Market Accounts\u2014Tim Riddle<\/p>\n
  6. \nAward Landscaping Maintenance Bid\u2014Tim Riddle<\/p>\n
  7. \nGeneral Manager's Report\u2014Tim Riddle<\/p>\n
  8. \nClosing Comments\u2014Chairman Rob Evans\n<\/ol>\n

    Next Meeting scheduled for February 27, 2013.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \nThe information presented at this "not a meeting" was informative.
    \nThere was a detailed presentation and discussion of the financial
    \nstatement along with discussion about needed updates to the website
    \n
    \nvisitvaldosta.org<\/a> and the new conference center focused site which
    \nis under development (and not currently available)
    \nrainwaterconferencecenter.com.\n<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n<\/a><\/p>\n

    \nFrom my point of view, a troubling thing was that there was a bid
    \naward that needed to be made and no vote could be taken.\n<\/p>\n

    \nAfter the meeting, I asked Tim Riddle if I might obtain a copy of
    \nthe packet that the board members had and he said yes. I picked up
    \nthe packet as lunch time when I was back at the Conference Center
    \nfor another meeting.\n<\/p>\n
