After City Manager Jeff Tillman read the resolution and commissioners unanimously approved it, Tillman lifted the cloth to reveal a street sign that soon would be installed.
“Oh my goodness, I am so, so amazed, shocked,” Lowrance, 64, said of the renaming. “It brought me to tears when they did the resolution and then it speaks of the road. I was very honored.”
Tillman said that Lowrance is the longest-serving employee in Auburndale history, a record he said is unlikely to be surpassed.
“What a professional,” said Bobby Green, one of four city managers for whom Lowrance worked before his retirement in April after 30 years in the job. “Most certainly a complement to the city workforce and just did a great job; most certainly will be missed. But I know that, as I’ve just stepped into retirement, I know that she will enjoy it as well.”

The 2020 Presidential election is over. President Joe Biden was declared the winner. In Arizona, there is still controversy, and now it involves the integrity of voting systems from Maricopa County in future elections.
The state senate ordered an outside audit and hired a Sarasota-based cybersecurity firm called Cyber Ninjas. According to critics and the Associated Press, the company has no election audit experience.
A representative for Cyber Ninjas told 10 Tampa Bay the company was not doing interviews but would answer questions. Asked about any prior experience with election audits, the representative wrote:
Almost immediately after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law changing some voting procedures, the lawsuits started flying.
The League of Women Voters and others are seeking to block SB 90, which they call a “voter suppression” bill, from taking effect. Florida’s Republican-dominated Legislature followed the lead of GOP lawmakers in other states to address concerns about potential voter fraud, even though no significant problems have been identified in the 2020 election in Florida or other states.
So what does the new law mean for voters in Polk County? Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards said the changes would have been much more dramatic if initial versions of SB 90 and other proposed bills had passed.
