Charlotte Nash/Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners
The Gwinnett County government provides high quality essential services for Gwinnett residents and as many other services as tax revenues allow. The county spends and accounts for tax dollars in a responsible manner, responds to needs and concerns of the citizens, and conducts business in an open and professional manner without favoritism.
The Board sets direction and formulates policies for the county government, adopts the budget, authorizes expenditures, and approves or disapproves specific actions, such as rezoning of private property.
Voters in each of four districts elect a part-time district commissioner. The full-time commission chairman is elected countywide. Terms are for four years, but staggered so the chairman and two commissioners are elected during one election cycle and two years later the other two commissioners are elected.
The Board holds official business meetings the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 2:00 PM. On those days, the Board conducts work sessions at 10:00 AM. The Board also holds a public hearing to consider zoning requests on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM. These meetings are held in the auditorium of the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center.

Let Leta take you on a journey of faith, life, travel, and interior design. Take your life out of the status quo and into 2020! Status Life with Leta is brought to you by Status Home Design, and by the Law Office of Derek M. Hays at 404-777-HURT.
On today’s episode, Leta continues to explain the differences between an Interior Designer and an Interior Decorator, and local Atlanta artist Lynne McDonald joins Leta in the studio to discuss her artwork and charitable support.
Lynne McDonald/Lynne McDonald’s Gallery
Lynne McDonald is an award winning, juried artist. She grew up in California, but moved to Atlanta from Montreal, Canada and started painting full-time in 2012. Since then, her skills have evolved and now you can find her work in galleries, stores, hotels, offices and private collections internationally. Her inspiration comes from nature and her travels. She considers herself curious and thinks of each painting as an experiment. “I prefer painting in abstracts, because I like the participation of the observer. It always amazes me what other people see in my work. I learn just as much about them as they do me.”
Lynne became a Type 1 Diabetic as a teenager and has been on insulin for 30 years now. The cruel irony is that she’s developed Retinopathy that affects her vision. She describes it as having little blind spots that make it difficult to see an entire piece. She also has difficulty seeing in low lights so she requires flood lights in her studio and has problems seeing colors properly. Because of her struggles she mentors children with Type 1 Diabetes. “Being a role model for these kids inspires me to take good care of myself. They are watching me and my attitude shapes how they see themselves.”
