Sparks described Joe Patrick as a 2004 graduate of the University of Georgia with a major in real estate, a certified general real property appraiser in both Georgia and Alabama, and an MAI designee from the Appraisal Institute. \"He has expressed interest in wanting to serve,\" Sparks said, and Sparks recommended the appointment be placed on the Tuesday consent agenda.

Commissioners also agreed to move other routine appointments to the consent agenda: reappointing Dave Wade to the regional EMS council for the upcoming term, appointing Mike Land to replace Jane Simpson on the Planning and Zoning Commission, and replacing an agricultural advisory board seat with Tony Trent. The commissioners signaled these items would appear on the Tuesday business meeting consent agenda for formal votes; no formal appointments were made at the work session.

The work session remarks included brief references to term lengths and qualification requirements for assessor board members; commissioners did not take final action during the May 1 meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 1st 2025 Work Session","oneSentenceSummary","Carroll County commissioners agreed to place several appointments — including a tax assessor board recommendation for Joe Patrick, an EMS council reappointment for Dave Wade, and planning and ag advisory posts — on the Tuesday consent agenda for formal action.","taxTitle","Carroll County, Georgia","taxId",28238,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6253731,"County attorney proposes ordinance to license massage and spa businesses, require employee work permits",54,1192000,1246000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa&start=1192&end=1246","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa/thumbnail_1192000.jpg","/articles/6253731/Carroll-County/Georgia/County-attorney-proposes-ordinance-to-license-massage-and-spa-businesses-require-employee-work-permits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253731-50d2f699bb9ab80c6d61eadc93dbead4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770502228&Signature=ddOW5D1zKXhCRu0mGNAZ8GL7Q48YqKFGF4UNxh6o-oLuKw5HBeb~BUixtdPexDNc-lD3NSZvM2HXyiQkYQWSepg6GlZJFT9CsoHAEDbOlhLPYuGQbjHXtW1RmEm2X5ITg-Oxv1ALTXQC~R-8MoevKyItYDH-Xmc~jN916HNoh46ok2IT3pNuP98DsVNqdIcq7xKyUArSAcjcJ5kiASt8kcKeOjJINm0fExw29BpxbkRzRf~H-1TmXTL6faj7T~vxzhjXFL5CJg1c7VCBInSz3rR2hfj6rIP8DuFf9DfnGCRc5LK6o4P2pLiqwsC8phuwVraO81WRV00UoT-g5o0T9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Stacy Blattman, Carroll County attorney, presented a proposed ordinance on May 1 to regulate massage and spa establishments and to require licenses for those businesses. \"This is a proposed ordinance to regulate massage and spa establishments and to require licenses for those establishments and also work permits for the employees that are not licensed by the state as their massage therapists,\" Blattman said.

Blattman said the county has received past complaints about certain establishments and that the ordinance would give tools to code enforcement and the sheriff's department to seek remedies. \"So this would give a tool to both codes enforcement and the sheriff's department to seek remedies against those establishments,\" she said.

Blattman compared the measure to the county's existing short-term rental (Airbnb) regulations and said while the new ordinance is not a cure-all, it could be effective in addressing some complaints. Commissioners agreed to place the proposed ordinance on the Tuesday consent agenda for formal consideration and possible introduction or first reading.

No ordinance number or final wording was adopted at the work session; the presentation was for placement on the business agenda so commissioners can review the draft language and supporting materials.","Carroll County's attorney presented a proposed ordinance to require licenses for massage and spa establishments and to require work permits for employees not licensed by the state as massage therapists; proposal was placed on the consent agenda for further consideration.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6253736,"County IT recommends NetPlanner for prison camera upgrade; commissioners to consider on consent agenda",100,988000,1088000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa&start=988&end=1088","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa/thumbnail_988000.jpg","/articles/6253736/Carroll-County/Georgia/County-IT-recommends-NetPlanner-for-prison-camera-upgrade-commissioners-to-consider-on-consent-agenda","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253736-c066088b32385681b19d7af8dafa7867/orig.mp4?Expires=1770502228&Signature=YccSFg6OJ97Htg4yYBfXJw3btJgdTyx34zIXx6R87fpqckOY23H5hmuPbMq0KfYGdnWhulVtKarSeARLZvktc-ZD4Dd8nBTOJeDfS3dMd8r3Bn-M-Tt9UKK7tQXDCny0ksB0Khpy2MmdxZPwvAM~AOjg2wVWE1a88hky3gaG6GzgxhlR-33Szr8Hy-DwwsOoq85zFepYAs-k~9knMBiwSosmMOa7k1gdhWiCgia7p0PnuhqU~-zN4N0dBHMfGVuZdWWpJV~dLuId5emTF-fTDDFEA9wMBnmUCxGz-Ttt5czs54HhYc4y~lIse90wkjU6FPpTeQuiTJmaRRTzEFK~Dg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jacob Parson, Carroll County IT director, presented a request to accept a contractor proposal to upgrade the camera system at the county prison. \"We're asking for the proposal, from NetPlanner, be accepted, so that he can upgrade his systems,\" Parson said at the May 1 work session.

Parson said the county obtained three quotes. NetPlanner's proposal was $76,299.24; Convergent's quote was $73,739.95 but did not include $8,000 of user training and had additional optional fees for fiber network enclosure and as-built drawings; NextGen quoted $94,973. Parson and the warden recommended NetPlanner because the company is semi-local (Peachtree Corners, Ga.), employs some Carroll County residents, and its price includes necessary items that Convergent would bill separately.

Parson told commissioners that the IT department expects to be able to maintain and service the upgraded system rather than contract outside maintenance. \"We do feel confident that we can maintain this system for many years,\" he said, declining to discuss security details.

Commissioners agreed to place the NetPlanner recommendation on the Tuesday consent agenda for formal action.

The staff member said the $400,000 estimate covers the compactors, electrical upgrades at each site, any required concrete work, steel for chutes and rebar.

\"I'm asking for y'all to consider letting me spend up to $400,000 to purchase 9 compactors for the convenience centers and the parks,\" the staff member said during the May 1 work session. The request was moved to the consent agenda for the Tuesday business meeting for formal action.

Separately, Jacqueline (Solid Waste) requested approval to purchase a replacement motor for the department's \"yard dog\" unit. Jacqueline presented three quotes: a complete motor, a \"drop-in\" remanufactured motor, and a long-block option that would require additional assembly by public works. She said the department preferred the drop-in remanufactured motor because public works does not have the time to assemble a long block.

Jacqueline said the chosen remanufactured motor carries a one-year, 2,000-hour warranty and that an extended warranty was not available. \"The motor that I am proposing to purchase does come with a 1 year 2000 hour warranty,\" she said, and later added that suppliers were not offering extended warranties.

Commissioners asked to place both equipment purchases on the consent agenda for the Tuesday meeting. No formal vote took place at the work session; commissioners signaled agreement to include the items for consideration on the business meeting consent agenda.","Solid Waste staff requested authorization to spend up to $400,000 to install nine compactors across convenience centers and parks and asked to approve a remanufactured replacement motor for a yard dog unit carrying a one-year/2,000-hour warranty; both items were sent to the Tuesday consent agenda.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6253747,"Carroll County reports March revenue shortfall, details SPLOST spending",96,547000,643000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa&start=547&end=643","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3178126-c8ebb097b89291f4b21fb7b4b3fbfbaa/thumbnail_547000.jpg","/articles/6253747/Carroll-County/Georgia/Carroll-County-reports-March-revenue-shortfall-details-SPLOST-spending","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6253747-e6383600d74cccdf63fba395c198999a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770502228&Signature=YUz1aP6y-0R1ef6pP5xYp8L9-sUd49ai0gqnNEwlhIzGupNR9fUEzBrFEK9f6O~-Nv3~dhIZhCDJtFWaqttyr7~GDwmVsIhF7UDsZTzthm4o7ROM6PxwQceXD9F2JCVsKD-lU1H8NJlaM9WrVGjrr~Hc1GHgj3HeBejDuuk~6L7Ie~zZJpNML0yHQ-w0K--0HH7dUBjZMBowLBfri04CCrFULaEfcBXyoKXptYBG1HzZ2Pp-MKyZAg8b3XrK9fwJ0R31MqAybm4LHQkkwGDuvUNf9YtO6i0beALLO-PnfBHGNPC7J7C9DJGG5jxa2He51SbGexmou6p5Ol5sfJMWfQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Alicia Sorcy, Carroll County finance director, told commissioners on May 1 that the county had collected $69,420,000 in revenues through March 2025, or about 86.87% of the $79,000,009.13 annual revenue budget. \"We have the March 2025 financial information in front of you,\" Sorcy said as she opened the recap.

The report showed year-to-date expenditures of $58,487,008.59, equal to roughly 71.63% of the annual expenditure budget. The fiscal snapshot is intended to guide commissioners as they finalize spring budget planning and consent items for the upcoming business meeting.

Sorcy also outlined recent SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) activity. She said major SPLOST outlays included about $946,000 paid to the general contractor on the fifth floor of the Judicial Center and roughly $111,000 on the Administration Building. She said other SPLOST items in March were smaller. Sorcy added that another SPLOST line (referred to in the report as \"the 15\") had no expenditures in March and that related road-safety work was paid from the LME account; the transcript did not specify the reference \"15.\"

Chairman and commissioners asked clarifying questions during the work session but took no formal fiscal votes at that meeting; the financial recap was presented for information and for placement on the business meeting agenda. No legal or policy changes were adopted at the work session.

The finance director said the county expects reimbursements to cover some general-fund costs under a judicial ARPA grant but did not provide a schedule for when those reimbursements will arrive. The timing of reimbursements and the pace of year-to-date spending will affect whether the county later seeks to reimburse any reserve draws used for upcoming projects.","The Carroll County finance director reported March 2025 revenues of $69.42 million, 86.9% of budgeted receipts, and detailed SPLOST outlays for the Judicial Center fifth floor and the Administration Building; expenditures stood at $58.49 million, about 71.6% of budget.","actionData","errors"]
