Summary
The board authorized purchase of equipment for the recreational youth football program and reallocated $5,000 from tourism promotion funds to Explore Georgia contingent on amended deliverables; commissioners discussed ensuring promotion covers all of Charlton County and authorized use of the recreational service account if needed.
The Charlton County Board of Commissioners on June 5 authorized County Administrator Glenn Hull to purchase equipment for the recreational youth football program for the upcoming fall season and approved reallocating $5,000 budgeted for tourism promotion to Explore Georgia, contingent on amended deliverables. The youth-football equipment will be funded by the recreational service account; Commissioner Jesse Crews asked that funding come from that account if other funding avenues are unavailable. Commissioner Drew Jones said he was "excited about recreational football coming back." The motion to authorize the equipment purchase carried unanimously. Separately, the board approved reallocating $5,000 to Explore Georgia to send a delegation to a Chicago conference that targets foreign visitors; Commissioner Jones voiced concerns and asked that the funds be used to promote tourism across the whole county and that deliverables be amended. Commissioners approved the reallocation contingent on amended deliverables, with the motion carried unanimously.
