Lisa Burton got to make the presentation about the library architect bid, because Chad McLeod, Lowndes County project manager, was elsewhere. What she said at this morning's Lowndes County Commission Work Session was mostly a very condensed version of what appeared in the VDT this morning. She did add the detail of who were the four firms that made presentations:
- Barganier Davis Sims Architects Associated with CMA Architectural Services and Aaron Cohen from Montgomery, AL
- Clemons, Rutherford & Associates (CRA) with Tap[?] Associates, Tallahassee, FL
- Ellis, Ricket & Associates, Valdosta
- McCall & Associates with McMillan Pazdan Smith, Valdosta
She didn't provide the links; I googled them up with what are maybe the correct spellings. What was in the presentations remains a mystery. She said the Library Board unanimously selected CRA.
Chairman Ashley Paulk noted Kay Harris and Tom Gooding were present, and asked if Commissioners had any questions for them. None did.
Kay Harris is Chairman of the Library Board. What is Tom Gooding's role? Who are the rest of the Library Board, for that matter?
