\r\nSomething good out of a pandemic:\r\nthe first-ever telephone listen-in for a Lowndes County Commission meeting.\r\n

With dialin instructions<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nI assume listen-in because there is no Citizens To Be Heard on the agenda<\/a>.\r\nWhile Madison County, Florida, BOCC, weeks ago had a participatory conference call meeting, I can’t imagine Lowndes County Commission doing that.\r\n

\r\nThe only agenda items\r\nare how to spend the Hotel\/Motel Tax (assuming there is any) for Tourism,\r\nand paying for right of way (ROW) for one parcel so TSPLOST paving of Clyattstone Road and Simpson Lane can continue.\r\nI don’t know why that one paving project is so important.\r\n

\r\nHowever, unlike most Special Called Meetings, for this one they did post an agenda.\r\nWe don’t know whether they will video the meeting.\r\nThat would be good, since LAKE can’t go into the building to do that.\r\nSee also \r\n\r\nthe\r\nPDF<\/a>.\r\n
