“We are proposing to open a home for girls for abused and neglected, girls, in Monroe,” Anna White said. She told the board she currently operates a facility in Snellville that houses seven girls and has been approved for two additional residents. The application seeks rezoning of 4.3 acres to allow a residential care facility; planning staff reported the planning commission recommended approval and that no opposition was recorded at the planning-commission level.

White described program goals and services: the mission “is to help young women take personal responsibility for their lives by reaching independent living,” she said, and outlined therapy, career and life-skills training, tutoring and workforce-development partnerships. She said the program works with young women ages 14 to 17 and emphasizes individualized education options, therapeutic supports, mentorship, volunteer and community-service activities and transition planning to prevent placement instability.

White described staffing and safety measures: staff undergo NCIC background screening and five-week training covering topics such as cognitive behavioral therapy, de-escalation and trauma support; the site will have a 24-hour security system and a minimum of two staff on-site at all times. She said the proposed house is a five-bedroom, four-bath layout; she told the board the operation would start with six residents and the long-term goal is up to 14 beds but that expanding beyond the initial plan would require further review by Planning and Development.

White said partners include local universities, financial institutions and employers that provide work and training opportunities for residents. She also said her Snellville facility has had placements leading to college enrollment, military enlistment and adoptions.

The planning item description on the agenda identified the applicant as Anna White, owners as Timothy and Anna White, and the property at 1370 Snowsmill Road; planning staff confirmed the planning commission recommended approval as submitted.

John said the board has “on the budget tonight an approval moving forward for, relocation of water lines in Walnut Grove to the tune of a million $7,000.480 $1,007,480.” He said the county negotiated the ability to make two installment payments to cover the work.

The manager told commissioners several Highway 20 projects are in progress and that utility conflicts with DOT projects along the corridor could total “in the 4 to $5,000,000 range.” He said county staff has notified DOT that Walton County Water has expended available funds and has applied for a percent-participation grant to seek state assistance for relocation costs.

The manager asked commissioners to note a scheduled water treatment plant groundbreaking: “Do need to put a date on a a holder on your, calendar, the water treatment plant groundbreaking ceremony. Is it 10:00 this Friday, the sixteenth.”

Other items in John’s report included parks and recreation and community events: Meridian Park’s fishing derby drew “over a hundred kid kids participating,” and the county’s splash pad will open May 16 with a new policy allowing grandparents age 60 and over to attend free when accompanying grandchildren.

John also reported departmental updates that included new cardiac monitors installed in all ambulances after a vendor delay, and improved recruitment in EMS and the sheriff’s office following pay adjustments. He said the sheriff’s office made 68 potential recruitment contacts in May, had 20 interviews scheduled through May 19 and 14 candidates currently in the hiring process.

On grant and community-program news, John said Walton County Extension’s Experimental Learning Garden has received $23,000 in grants this year — $8,000 from Walton EMC and $15,000 from the Walton Foundation — to expand the experiential garden at Criswell Park. He also said Emergency Management held hazard-mitigation meetings with sufficient volunteer participation to meet the grant match requirement, eliminating a monetary match for this plan.

The manager closed by thanking staff across departments and noting that finance will begin fiscal year 2025 closeout the week of June 23.","County Manager John updated commissioners on capital projects including a $1,007,480 Walnut Grove water-line relocation tied to GDOT work, Highway 20 utility conflicts that could total $4–5 million, and a water treatment plant groundbreaking scheduled for May 16.","actionData","errors"]
