Commissioners unanimously approve corrected annexation‑objection resolution after legal description error

At the start of the meeting, the Bulloch County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a corrected resolution objecting to a city's post‑annexation notice after staff reported that a hand‑delivered paper notice contained a different legal description than the earlier emailed notice.

County staff member Rountree told commissioners the revised resolution was drafted to conform to the second notice because "the email copy had an error in the legal description." He said the second notice used the assessor's tax‑parcel numbering and corrected a partial parcel number that had been duplicated in the emailed version.

The board approved a motion to correct the previously adopted resolution; the clerk recorded the motion as carrying unanimously. "All in favor? Motion carries unanimously," the clerk said after the board voted.
