\r\nBids or negotiations for everything except the\r\nProfessional Services for Sampling, Monitoring, and Reporting of Impaired Streams<\/a>, which is on the\r\nagenda<\/a> for Tuesday as a single proposal from an engineering firm.\r\nThe agenda sheets are\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\nWe do not yet have the full agenda packet.\r\n

\r\nThis April 28, 2020, Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission will be held by teleconference.\r\nThere will be Citizens Wishing to Be Heard, but as usual that will be after<\/em> the Commissioners vote.\r\nThis is the only County Commission of the many counties I’ve been to in two states that does not let citizens speak either at the beginning of the session or on each agenda item as it comes up.\r\n

\r\n

\r\nCitizens wishing to be heard should email County Clerk, Paige Dukes at pdukes@lowndescounty.com or call 229-292-6142 during normal business hours to register to speak. Please register prior to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 28th. Thank you.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nNotice no Work Session is listed on the agenda, and a Commissioner tells me\r\nthere will be no Work Session, which is marked in the county calendar as\r\nCancelled<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nI’d like to compliment Lowndes County Utilities for pro-actively replacing that Coleman Road Force Main.\r\nThey already did an emergency repair for about $100,000 in October 2018<\/a>\r\nafter\r\nsewage spills in July 2018 and September 2017<\/a>.\r\nLowndes County has reported no recent spills, not even as recent as Valdosta’s notorious December 2018 record spill.\r\n
