Scroll down for updates that include audio and video of the meeting.
The Macon County Commissioner will be holding their annual retreat to review the past year and set the agenda for the coming year at the halfway point in their fiscal year. I will be posting a nearly live play by play [link] from the meeting on Google Plus and will be recording video and posting low resolution portions portions of it online in the future. If I post video excerpts while the meeting is going on, I will be doing that at the bottom of this post instead of in reverse chronological order like I have done in the past.
