Update 2024-09-26<\/strong>: \r\nCancelled: Millage and Special Called Meetings because Hurricane Helene @ LCC 2024-09-26<\/a>.\r\n

\r\n5 PM, Thursday, September 26,\r\nwill be the third and last public hearing opportunity for the millage rate.\r\nThe first two were both on September 19, at 8:30 AM and 6:00 PM.\r\n

\r\n\r\n\"[Third<\/a>\r\n
Third and Final Public Hearing 2024-09-26, Lowndes County, Georgia, Millage Rate + Decision<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nIn the \r\nsecond hearing<\/a>, Lowndes County Chairman Bill Slaughter said,\r\n“And then we will adopt the millage,\r\nsetting the rate, on September 26, as well.”\r\n

\r\nHow does that work?\r\nThere is no Regular Session nor Special Called Meeting scheduled for September 26.\r\nWill they just vote after the Public Hearing, since presumably a quorum\r\nof Commissioners will be in the room?\r\nOr will they announce a Special Called Meeting, with at least 24 hours notice,\r\nas state law requires?\r\n

\r\nWe don’t know, because no agenda is posted for this third meetings,\r\njust as no agenda was posted for the first two.\r\n

\r\nAs usual, the presentation is not\r\n\r\non the lowndescounty.com Finance Department web page<\/a>.\r\n<\/p>\r\n
