The city council voted in favor of a request from councilman Robert Yost, who asked for the resignations after the Georgia Office of the Attorney General found the Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County violated the state’s Open Meetings Act. The attorney general’s office ordered the hospital authority to pay a $500 civil penalty to the state of Georgia and to participate in an open government training session with the attorney general’s office.
Although the city council requested the four members step down from their positions, it doesn’t have authority to enforce the call for resignations, according to the report.
