Tuesday’s surprise report was on airport funding, followed by an unscheduled vote for funding.

They also reappointed Dr. Martha Giddens to the Lowndes County Division of Family and Children Services Board, approved two well and septic rezonings, passed Lowndes County Road Naming Resolution and Procedure that they haven’t published even though it’s because a Commissioner said citizens requested it, and the latest in the long-running Juvenile Justice Court diversionary program grant contract.

See also the LAKE videos of Monday morning’s Work Session and of last month’s Planning Commission Meeting which considered the same rezonings. The now-infamous Moody Activities Zone (MAZ) text amendments which got tabled by the Planning Commission did not even appear on the County Commission’s agenda.
