Paulding County commissioners approve stormwater contract, property transfer IGA and employee benefits renewal
Summary
At a regular meeting, the Paulding County Board of Commissioners approved a stormwater maintenance contract worth $85,612.23, adopted an intergovernmental agreement transferring a Helping Hands parcel and adjacent parking lot to the City of Dallas, and ratified an employee benefits renewal; the consent agenda included a board reappointment.
The Paulding County Board of Commissioners approved several routine items in a brief regular meeting, including a stormwater maintenance contract, an intergovernmental agreement transferring county property to the City of Dallas and an employee benefits renewal.
The board voted to award a stormwater maintenance project located at 330 Spring Street Drive to WE Construction Inc. for $85,612.23, with funding allocated from the stormwater department general funds and the project listed in Post 1. The board approved the intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the City of Dallas to transfer a Helping Hands parcel and the adjoining parking lot between W. Griffin Street and West Spring Street to the city. Commissioners also ratified an employee benefits renewal the board had reviewed in a morning work session.
Why it matters: The stormwater contract commits county maintenance funds to a specific contractor and site in Post 1; the IGA transfers county-owned property to a municipal government, changing local property stewardship; the employee benefits renewal affects county personnel costs and benefits administration going forward.

- Stormwater maintenance contract: Motion to award the stormwater maintenance project at 330 Spring Street Drive to WE Construction Inc., $85,612.23. Funding: stormwater department general funds. The board motion passed by voice vote with no opposition. (Transcript evidence: 1194.45–1229.22)

- Consent agenda and appointment: The board approved the consent agenda by voice vote. Items on the consent agenda included the reappointment of Jeff Knowles to the Industrial Building Authority; the transcript records confusion about the stated term end date (it is read as “ending term of December, 2020”), which appears to be an error in the meeting remarks. The reappointment was included as part of the approved consent agenda. (Transcript evidence: 1252.2051–1270.765; 1270.765–1298.735)
