\r\nThe board packet<\/a> for the Tuesday Lowndes County Commission Regular Session says,\r\non page 65, which is the\r\n\r\nagenda sheet<\/a>\r\nfor\r\n\r\nagenda item 6.a. Adoption of Millage Rate<\/a>:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nHISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES: The Board of Commissioners is required to set the county-wide millage rate for\r\n2020. A public hearing was held prior to this adoption as required. The county-wide millage should be set at\r\n10.851 mills with the County receiving 8.601 mills, the Industrial Authority receiving 1.00 mill and the Parks\r\nand Recreation Authority receiving 1.25 mills. This represents a reduction of 0.087 mills.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nI wondered: when was this public hearing?\r\n

\r\n\"[10.851<\/a>\r\n
10.851 mills, 8.601 County, 1.00 VLDA, 1.25 VLPRA. reduction of 0.087 mills.<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nAccording to the county’s online calendar, it hasn’t hapened yet, because it’s\r\n\r\n5:00 PM that same Tuesday<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nSo if you’re going to the Regular Session, might as well show up half an hour earlier\r\nfor the Millage Rate Meeting.\r\nChances are, you’ll be the only member of the public there.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
