Finance Director Sherry Walker presented the budget adjustments, reporting that general fund revenues increased by $5,454,227 with a year-end fund balance of $38,885,711. She said that represented about $334,000 more in revenues than the prior year. Walker also reported that the 2017 SPLOST fund decreased by about $4.99 million during the fiscal year to a year-end balance of $14,761,985, and that the 2023 SPLOST fund increased by $8,336,521 to a balance of $10,612,245.

Walker recommended approval of the final FY2024 budget amendments across all funds; commissioners moved, seconded and approved the recommendation during the meeting. Walker said auditors were updating the final draft of the FY2024 annual financial report and asked the board to authorize staff to sign the report when acceptable.

A commissioner moved to give the named staff member permission to sign the final draft once auditors complete their work; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. One commissioner noted they would not vote because they had made the request; the chair called for the affirmative voice vote and recorded approval.

The transcript excerpt does not include a roll-call vote or detailed line-item amendments in the record; commissioners approved the overall final amendments as recommended and authorized staff to execute the final audit report when acceptable.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Fannin County Board of Commissioners Meeting - May 27, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The county presented final amendments to the fiscal year 2024 budget across funds, noting revenue and SPLOST fund changes; auditors will complete the annual financial report and staff were authorized to sign off when acceptable.","taxTitle","Fannin County, Georgia","taxId",28423,"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},6220856,"Commissioners approve $185,000 payment for one-mile Douthat Road project using SPLOST funds",21,616000,637000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3616015-c25fbfc1cc5b9c73b1824738cb263b6b&start=616&end=637","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3616015-c25fbfc1cc5b9c73b1824738cb263b6b/thumbnail_616000.jpg","/articles/6220856/Fannin-County/Georgia/Commissioners-approve-185000-payment-for-one-mile-Douthat-Road-project-using-SPLOST-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6220856-797ab8ef7cc9ff75c2b998532b3ac0eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1775616649&Signature=AuDL-RfGPRNn~4PCYXQLpDTTTTw5t-~rw803jDm4FZMNzlxaCKFlUs3l~69nHC2vsIBoYEesrYuapVWrsq8aQ4vD8Jkqa6PNnMRm~QFDcjJFECHr7DfK9~kWMEcv7NxRNJ~kPW9bJDYokeeeYV80vCSMwoMg2ww2CIIJ0rue~SGhVpGg1hDmSB7fHGBzZP-8J5k1EFWw4GUpLTnqFADixYAZNGzRvHTVapfbpgm8pofL5kM~xnvi6Z7q24nW4dkd79wG23eHPZUWgP2FfKrjn2QZvHyjjiF7JhY8cl16MbdrIP7Ax~g4O23G-fK-qmsw~5-nx8Cg8CUWbyLpyEXgWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fannin County commissioners approved a payment of an estimated $185,000 to cover work on one mile of Douthat Road and directed the cost to come from the county's SPLOST fund.

The project was presented under new business by Public Works Director Zach Ratcliffe. A commissioner moved to approve the payment; another commissioner seconded, and the board voted in favor. The motion passed with an approval announcement recorded as \"All in favor.\" No roll-call vote tally was included in the record excerpt.

The presentation and motion did not include detailed bid documents or contractor names in the recorded segment. Commissioners discussed the item briefly and proceeded to a motion and second; the board approved the funding allocation to the SPLOST account for the Douthat Road work.

Public works staff will proceed with the planned work and administrative steps tied to the SPLOST-funded project. The transcript did not include a contractor award, a construction schedule, or details on whether the work is resurfacing, reconstruction, or a different treatment.

Next steps recorded in this session: staff to implement the approved payment/contracting actions under existing SPLOST project authority and report back as required by county procedures.","Fannin County commissioners approved payment of about $185,000 to repair one mile of Douthat Road, directing the cost to come from the county's SPLOST fund.",{"_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},6220861,"Fannin County opens public hearing to remove decal requirement for manufactured homes",123,77000,200000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3616015-c25fbfc1cc5b9c73b1824738cb263b6b&start=77&end=200","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3616015-c25fbfc1cc5b9c73b1824738cb263b6b/thumbnail_77000.jpg","/articles/6220861/Fannin-County/Georgia/Fannin-County-opens-public-hearing-to-remove-decal-requirement-for-manufactured-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6220861-6a0c0fb895859be6c819012a01834ba6/orig.mp4?Expires=1775616649&Signature=A4f1MtcvrD8F2s12~INYeN8CGATw~DvZIVpguxGrFfKzbmv7fBuICk0Lso7yobgX0~IfSsNd~311Q-MciDvKGKzHEsImj3j4nOZShalSZMcV8~bZzhTBLVvAzkgL3y7w9tZJFN-tOIduydbBVKKXABqwHgvoOTU2quB-S4wP28COiltpFz01oxnb5Eh36ENl3wCQ7ewQmDIMK~aJvW2pvYz2BM04zsrpP616jGr2vMkY0nPNga5lG6pCBCUNxQWiVsdLt2pWSL4xzKSbXUXGCpjBICa4alzGIEj06oZvApmdzlFzHCBMsWI3GVoqGEx~eb29JLwgYfkNnfxFNzQSEg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Fannin County commissioners opened a public hearing to consider an amendment removing the county's requirement that owners of manufactured homes report location and obtain an annual decal.

The change under consideration would delete Section 46-23, \"Location disclosure and decal required,\" from the county code. The amendment follows a change in state law that the county said eliminated the prior sticker requirement for manufactured homes.

At the hearing, a county official explained that the existing ordinance required \"Every person holding title to or possession of a ... manufactured home ... shall report the location ... and obtain a local decal ... annually no later than April 1,\" and that language is what the proposed amendment would remove. Commissioners noted that state law has changed and that, under county procedure, two public hearings are required to amend an ordinance.

No members of the public raised substantive comments during the portion of the meeting recorded. Commissioners asked for discussion before opening the public comment period and none were offered. The hearing was therefore left open for the statutorily required additional reading and comment before the board takes final action.

The action at this meeting was limited to opening the first required public hearing and reading the ordinance language being proposed for removal. The county did not adopt the amendment at this session; final action will await the second public hearing and any further formal vote.

Commissioners and county staff identified the ordinance section being amended (Section 46-23) and described the procedural next steps; no vote or directive to staff beyond continuing the hearing was recorded.","Fannin County commissioners opened a public hearing on an amendment to local ordinance Section 46-23 to remove the annual location reporting and decal requirement for manufactured/mobile homes after a change in state law.","actionData","errors"]
