BROWN, Judge.
In Bd. of Commrs. of Lowndes County v. Mayor and Council of the City of
Valdosta, 309 Ga. 899 (848 SE2d 857) (2020), the Supreme Court of Georgia
reversed Division 1 of this Court’s opinion in Bd. of Commrs. of Lowndes County v.

309 Ga. at 910 (3). Accordingly, we vacate Division 1 of our prior opinion, adopt the
opinion of the Supreme Court of Georgia, and reverse the trial court’s dismissal of
Lowndes County’s claims for injunctive and declaratory relief based upon the bar of
sovereign immunity as set forth in the Supreme Court of Georgia’s opinion. We make
no changes to Division 2 of our opinion.
Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part. McFadden C. J., and Colvin,
