The Milledgeville City Council opened its Feb. 10 meeting with ceremonial remarks and public comment that highlighted community events and volunteer contributions.
Pastor Gregory Barnes used the public-comment slot to promote the Art & Healthy Living Festival and the city’s Healthy Living month in April 2026, calling it "a great economic driver" and asking the council to designate a point of contact so the city can partner on programming including safety, technology and AI workshops. "This is our thirteenth year," Barnes said.
The mayor presented a certificate to Anthony Lanier III for becoming a published author at age 7; the Boys & Girls Club chair noted the club would like a copy for its library. The mayor also presented a humanitarian award to Cece Sinclair (a 2019 recognition presented belatedly) for her philanthropic work with local youth programs.
Ending: The council moved from recognitions into routine business; the ceremonial items were acknowledged as part of the mayor’s comments.
