The chairman said the finance director and she reviewed relevant financial information at the April 15 budget work session and that the proposed budget and supporting materials are available on the county's website under videos. She emphasized that there was no action to be taken on the item at the regular meeting; the statement was procedural to satisfy the county's enabling legislation.

Chairman Morgan explicitly cited “OCGA 36-81-5(a)” as the legal basis for the publication and timeline. The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on May 27, and the county's advertised deadline to run the required notice in the legal organ is Wednesday, May 7, to meet that hearing schedule.

No changes to the proposed budget were made or discussed during the meeting; the item served to notify the public of the required publication and timetable and to record the schedule in the minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","May 6, 2025 Commissioners Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Chairman Michelle Morgan announced the county will publish its proposed budget and required legal notices under OCGA 36-81-5(a) to enable a May 27 public hearing and a June 3 vote; no action was taken at the meeting.","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},6249717,"Carroll County commissioners approve consent agenda, add Ag Advisory Committee appointment",28,1475000,1503000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204889-c55a2fb03387b4b397363ca1d879caa0&start=1475&end=1503","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204889-c55a2fb03387b4b397363ca1d879caa0/thumbnail_1475000.jpg","/articles/6249717/Carroll-County/Georgia/Carroll-County-commissioners-approve-consent-agenda-add-Ag-Advisory-Committee-appointment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249717-5de6b41fcf1f1a6baf26a354d1acd0b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158645&Signature=aQo8HnazRZQz2n-G~zRV9ffrJxZqn5gYN29jW~aXisS7WSDIVIsMCR90CkAPq7qVCE8w-OHOHyuikdFcymevExGWCZcyOl0HMbbFd7SgQokYNGUFBcDPb6zSBOd30E~sTYrSqAJ7R4NukSUIwrqmbu16yyH8DGjwAJ0nd23wnKaGyvCEDAuUO7lMlvBMyvbscQNVTW1nr3D0JcXCyw3ZdwcP~Vc1scLF3SVh3y-VsK7NFu~ekbSyRGqtkLZFJpoUIkD8Z2-xcHOpnTK0IlNxrTYAvz8V3hPPLbGtwW6pC9XBMzCUTlpHjuF1nkwS9YnhQh7egD5-EebdRZoKgjJw9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved its consent agenda by a 7-0 vote, adopting multiple procurement and personnel items the board had previously discussed at a public work session.

The consent package included two solid-waste equipment purchases, a Correctional Institute camera system upgrade, adoption of the county massage-and-spa ordinance, appointments to the Board of Tax Assessors, appointments related to emergency medical services (reach-in for EMS), and appointments to the planning and zoning commission. The agenda item also included appointments to the Agricultural Advisory Committee for Districts 1, 3 and 5 and at-large seats.

Chairman Michelle Morgan accepted an on-the-spot amendment to add Joshua Hollingsworth as the District 4 appointee to the Agricultural Advisory Committee; commissioners approved the amendment and then approved the full consent agenda 7-0.

Board minutes from the April regular meeting and the April 15 budget work session were also approved by unanimous vote. Commissioners did not take separate roll-call votes on each consent subitem; the board voted on the consent agenda as a single block as permitted by county practice and noted that related materials had been available in the public work session and on the county website.

No substantive debate on individual consent items was recorded during the meeting; the board moved on to business-session items after the vote.","The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved a multi-item consent agenda including equipment purchases, a correctional facility camera upgrade, ordinances and several board appointments; the board also added Joshua Hollingsworth to the Agricultural Advisory Committee by amendment.",{"_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},6249722,"Carroll County approves SLM Recycling hauling contract for convenience centers with revisions requested",56,1511000,1567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3204889-c55a2fb03387b4b397363ca1d879caa0&start=1511&end=1567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3204889-c55a2fb03387b4b397363ca1d879caa0/thumbnail_1511000.jpg","/articles/6249722/Carroll-County/Georgia/Carroll-County-approves-SLM-Recycling-hauling-contract-for-convenience-centers-with-revisions-requested","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6249722-ad05a77ca9a5c96336b9bf68706ac582/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158645&Signature=No7A1b24TTRZ1tLAbp~h0ThWuqDvU6FsA~zAEeiW3q1gM6eaxYmF8dNa9tchww0OJPBT7UK1CEk8FVvx7Rctu4IAsyZ67~j8CCNOldXhzxZ0or7ZBVMex4nkyA1j0IGLjgxpWmusedpPlQ9OJFoipJGQGYypew1wj9A-Rc~VgeGf0wPNZMZ-XW6coOtFtP56CE6k2Wz7tPY65fYNoCmKkh7sTIlvhUuj2aTJO55wFuUy2Bnso86NYXawtdG5WuDPG3rQhAGYydgnAON1l1VDZ0UZMpUqKHXowdOSFRaEbr2IEdPSkJ8ACWPgAvUFY03agG9DoLsTiz~O-6vF0PTNBw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved a contract with SLM Recycling to haul scrap metal, aluminum cans and cardboard from the county's convenience centers, with commissioners asking staff to add clarifying language on renewals, invoicing, insurance and holiday scheduling before finalization.

Danny Yates, Carroll County public works director, told the commission the agreement “is gonna save us a significant amount of money by the end of the year” and asked the board to approve the contract so the firm could begin hauling materials.

During discussion, a commissioner raised detailed contract concerns and requested changes to several sections. Commissioners asked that: price and renewal language be clarified (the monetary price in the draft is locked for the first three years but not thereafter); the contract require the vendor to name the authorized county contact who may request unscheduled pickups; invoicing terms be extended from the effective net-10 turnaround in the draft to allow county staff more time to review invoices; the county be named as an additional insured on vendor insurance certificates; and the vendor supply an annual holiday/operations calendar so 48-hour turnaround commitments account for vendor closures.

County counsel Stacy Blackman said staff could add the clarifying language the commissioners requested and confirmed staff would make those edits. After that assurance, the board voted 7-0 to accept the contract as presented with the notations requested by the commissioner.

The draft contract as read during the meeting included a $1,000,000 per-occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate liability threshold in the vendor insurance section but did not explicitly list the county as an additional insured; commissioners asked that the county be added and that property-damage limits be specified in writing rather than left to “substitute” language in the draft.

The board gave no further direction beyond asking staff to incorporate the listed clarifications and then approved the motion by unanimous vote.

Less critical background: the item was presented during the business session; the board approved the consent to negotiate and finalize the agreement with the requested clarifications. No other formal contingencies or external approvals were cited during the discussion.","The Carroll County Board of Commissioners approved a hauling agreement with SLM Recycling to remove scrap metal, aluminum cans and cardboard from county convenience centers, while commissioners asked staff to tighten renewal, invoicing and insurance language before final execution.","actionData","errors"]
