Chairman announces proposed budget publication under OCGA 36-81-5(a); public hearing set for May 27
Summary
Chairman Michelle Morgan announced the county will publish its proposed budget and required legal notices under OCGA 36-81-5(a) to enable a May 27 public hearing and a June 3 vote; no action was taken at the meeting.
Chairman Michelle Morgan told the Carroll County Board of Commissioners that the county will publish the proposed budget and required legal notices under Georgia law, placing a required advertisement in the county's legal organ by May 7 so the county can hold a public hearing on May 27 and vote on the budget on June 3.
The chairman said the finance director and she reviewed relevant financial information at the April 15 budget work session and that the proposed budget and supporting materials are available on the county's website under videos. She emphasized that there was no action to be taken on the item at the regular meeting; the statement was procedural to satisfy the county's enabling legislation.
Chairman Morgan explicitly cited “OCGA 36-81-5(a)” as the legal basis for the publication and timeline. The public hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on May 27, and the county's advertised deadline to run the required notice in the legal organ is Wednesday, May 7, to meet that hearing schedule.
No changes to the proposed budget were made or discussed during the meeting; the item served to notify the public of the required publication and timetable and to record the schedule in the minutes.
