ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT

County Attorney Smith advised the Board that Christy Blair with Environment Health was scheduled to do an inspection of the restroom facilities at the Resaca Battlefield Park. When she arrived, no one from the State was there and she was unable to gain access to the restrooms, so that will have to be rescheduled.
