The Industrial Authority wants to buy some unspecified property
public defender needs renewing,
plus 4-H agent and school bus activity.
Also workers' compensation,
and the Commission needs to approve its own schedule,
since it's a new Commission now, with two more voting members than
last year, and a new Chairman.
Here's
a list of the current Commission members:
-
Bill Slaughter, Chairman, At-Large
-
Joyce E. Evans, Commissioner, District 1
-
Richard Raines, Commissioner, District 2
-
Crawford Powell, Commissioner, District 3
-
Demarcus Marshall, Commissioner, District 4
-
John Page, Commissioner, District 5
Their
Commission web page
still has at the top this mission statement:
“To provide an efficient, effective and responsive local government
to all citizens of Lowndes County while maintaining the financial strength
to meet any contingency”
The county government has apparently been pretty good about that last thing
(although
that $8.9 million discrepency could make some wonder).
On responsiveness, not so much, considering
the trash non-solution railroaded through at the last meeting
of the previous Commission.
Maybe this new Commission will be different.
Here's
the agenda.
