Yet another start before the publicly advertised time, followed by a Hospital Authority reappointee and another person answering from the audience. Funding for computers, planning and preparedness, Code Red, and a block grant applicant, mostly with information in board packets that we the citizens paying for them don’t get to see. We did learn that nearly half the county uses Code Red, and at least 11,000 people are already signed up for weather alerts. I know I get them. They meet again to vote 5:30 PM this evening.
- They started four minutes early (8:26 instead of 8:30 AM). No changes to the minutes.
- 5. Appointments: Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County
The (re)appointees appeared to be E. Cameron Hickman and Lynne Feldman, M.D., MPH. I’m cribbing their names from the hospital authority web page at the hospital, since the Commission provided nothing in writing saying who they were. - Dr. Lynne Feldman spoke up from the audience, thanking the Commissioners for the opportunity to serve. She wondered if there was anything they’d like to know about the Authority. Commissioners Raines and Paulk complimented the Authority on what it does and how it does it. The hospital authority itself meets next 9:30 AM Wednesday 18 July at the hospital.
