Macon County Board of Commissioners Initial Videos of February 2020 Meeting

The Macon County Board of Commissioners met last night for their regular February 2020 meeting.

Due to the amount of public interest in a proposed resolution regarding the Second Amendment, both for and against, the meeting had to be moved upstairs to the large courtroom as the Commissioners Boardroom can only legally accommodate 49 people. The meeting lasted about four hours and most of it was streamed live on Facebook, when Macon Media was not experiencing technical issues. The sound through part of it is very poor, due to a combination of people not speaking properly into the provided microphones (both members of the public and county commissioners and staff).

Due to the length of the meeting, it will take several days to process the video. Macon Media is still processing video from the February 2020 meeting of the Franklin Town Council and the Budget Work Session hosted by the County Commissioners last week.
