The board also approved payment of an invoice from Acree Oil Company for $15,848.46.

County staff told commissioners the suggested revisions to the intergovernmental agreement with the city partners (named Martin and Avalon in the record) are primarily grammatical and name changes and do not alter how consolidated election services will be provided at the historic courthouse; the county attorney reviewed the changes and found them sufficient. The board voted to approve the intergovernmental agreement by voice vote.

On the LMIG supplemental grant, staff said the county is eligible to apply for up to $645,470.70 in state supplemental funding for road work with a 0% state match. To complete the county’s approved 2025 road list, staff reported an already-budgeted local contribution of about $122,000 would be required for a total committed project cost of roughly $768,000. The proposed project would cover patching, leveling, resurfacing and restriping on 10 county roads totaling 3.54 miles. When a commissioner asked whether unspent funds would roll forward if work is delayed, a county staff member replied, “So we can actually bank our Omic funds. So if we have to bank our Omic funds, we can do that.” The board approved seeking the grant and authorized the chairman and county administrator to sign and submit documentation; the motion carried by voice vote.

The board reappointed Brian Bennett to a three-year term on the Region 2 EMS advisory council beginning July 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2028; Bennett had previously filled the unexpired term of Chris Stevens. Commissioners approved the reappointment by voice vote.

The board approved an amendment to the county’s hazard-mitigation plan agreement with the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission; staff said the amendment clarifies the state-mandated project timeline and lists costs that will be funded in-kind. The motion carried by voice vote.

Under invoices and quotes over $10,000 the board approved payment of a $15,848.46 gasoline drop invoice from Acree Oil Company; funds were budgeted. Commissioners approved the bill payment by voice vote.

County staff also announced upcoming community events: an Easter egg hunt at Rose Lane Ballfields and an amnesty day on May 3. Staff noted the Easter event will also mark Cheryl Haines’ last public events coordination after 27 years with the county.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","4.08.2025 Stephens County Board of Commissioners Live Stream","oneSentenceSummary","Stephens County commissioners on April 8, 2025 approved administrative actions including a revised intergovernmental agreement for election consolidation, authorization to apply for a FY25 LMIG supplemental grant of up to $645,470.70, the reappointment of Brian Bennett to the Region 2 EMS advisory council, and an amendment to the county’s hazard-mitigation plan.","taxTitle","Stephens County, School Districts, Georgia","taxId",56360,"location","Georgia","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6081621,"Stephens County extends camper-permit variance for 261 East Denali Livestock Road",147,148000,295000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941789-45cdf2480118722238bfd799f542b19d&start=148&end=295","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941789-45cdf2480118722238bfd799f542b19d/thumbnail_148000.jpg","/articles/6081621/Georgia/Stephens-County-extends-camper-permit-variance-for-261-East-Denali-Livestock-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081621-354cee2bd736e8b64ceb8e53724208de/orig.mp4?Expires=1773659429&Signature=awSeLKniQgMjkxPjh2HGbjVa5fAQanTAibaFE6qsDvKTBlzH4dSwv6jZXBn69fd7nXBkkF9BLVsReS8t28jfdIrrCqxQujomvznv~FNDsXlJqUd9zl2QiMZQWlsfqHa5uD~YNe9oRXB8a6QkbTAEy0rEz4vwXhqfwAijfk2TlwBk-BfKb4fgVl8-p1YQ6vOnKYEAawCYuCIHkcdvnVWkAxeHVmYmdUHrZAOx3msHTbuCvcGE~~hhvx14I1KbxdOCoC5MiTDuy3OoUsR0zfCZIkpAA~9pcumZ~ywM3Ss6fQa5cOZtWkS6BsyPZIkYjbMjpfcflO8sUc7k7R824fQWbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stephens County commissioners on April 8, 2025 approved an extension to a camper-permit variance for property at 261 East Denali Livestock Road (parcel 053 C 081 C), giving the owner an additional 60–90 days while a manufactured home is delivered and finished.

The property owner, identified in earlier meetings as Stephanie Bogart, originally received a 90-day variance on Jan. 14, 2025 that was scheduled to end April 15, 2025. County staff reported on April 8 that the site has been graded and that the manufactured home still requires utility connections, HVAC installation, construction of porches and decks, and other finishing work before a certificate of occupancy can be issued.

County staff told the commission they see progress on the site but that delivery and installation of the home have been slower than expected. No specific delivery date was provided. The board approved the requested extension by voice vote; meeting minutes record the motion as carried but do not identify the motion mover or a roll-call tally.

The extension does not change permit conditions for occupancy: the residence must meet usual permitting and inspection requirements and receive a certificate of occupancy before the occupants may move in. The board’s action was limited to granting additional time for completion and did not modify technical permit requirements.

The applicant’s variance request and the board’s extension will remain on record with county permitting staff; any further extensions or conditions were not discussed at the April 8 meeting.","The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved an extension to a camper-permit variance for 261 East Denali Livestock Road on April 8, 2025, allowing an additional 60–90 days while a manufactured home is delivered and finished.","actionData","errors"]
