Tift County commissioners approve minutes, grant application, equipment purchase and reappoint HR appeals members
Summary
At its meeting the Tift County Board approved meeting minutes, a community development block grant application, a tractor attachment purchase from Flint Equipment, a lease amendment on the consent agenda, and reappointed four members to the Human Resources Appeals Board.
The Tift County Board of Commissioners approved routine business and several staff recommendations during its regular session, including minutes, a grant application, equipment procurement and board reappointments.
The board approved minutes for recent sessions (work session Feb. 4, 2025; regular session Feb. 10, 2025; called and executive sessions Feb. 18, 2025; and public hearing Feb. 20, 2025) by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the meeting. On the consent agenda the board approved Resolution 2025-09, a community development block grant (CDBG) application for water, sewer, street and drainage improvements, and a second amendment to a state property commission lease agreement related to the Department of Juvenile Justice; the transcript lists the lease item but does not provide further detail on the amendment's terms.
Staff presented a procurement recommendation to purchase a motor attachment for an Iron Deer mowing tractor. Staff said they solicited a quote from Flint Equipment (described in the record as the local John Deere dealer) and reported a Flint quote of $13,431.18 and that Flint applied a government discount (staff referenced a $2,050 discount compared with retail pricing). The board approved the purchase from Flint Equipment on a motion and second.
The board also reappointed four members to the Human Resources Appeals Board: Homer Davis, David Fant, Kelly Passmore and Steve Hyman. The slate was nominated and approved without recorded opposition.
The meeting concluded after routine business; staff and commissioners reiterated that matters raised during public comment may be handled separately or placed on a future agenda for detailed responses.
