Bullock County participants discuss requesting $64,740 in IST funds for project building
Summary
At a Bullock County meeting participants said they plan to request $64,740 in IST funds for a project building, asked that the item be added to the commission agenda and indicated commission approval will be required; a motion carried at the meeting, though the transcript does not specify which item was voted on.
At a Bullock County meeting, participants said they plan to request $64,740 in IST funds to support a project building and asked that the item be added to the county commission's agenda.
The request matters because county commission approval was identified as a required step for using IST funds. Participants also discussed adding the proposal to the agenda and moving into an executive session to continue consideration.
"For the project building if it moves forward for $64,740 and we're requesting to use IST money, and we need a commission to approve the IST's money," said Speaker 3 (unidentified meeting participant).
Speaker 1 (unidentified meeting participant) said the group should first add the proposal to the agenda and then consider an executive session: "And, I think it's the consensus that we wanna make to take action on a proposal. I would just heard, but it have to be added to the agenda. And let's take, action on that, and then we'll look at going to executive session. So if someone make this correct motion,"
During the meeting a motion was put to a vote. Speaker 2 (unidentified meeting participant) said, "All in favor? I I oppose. I just want to oppose. Motion carries. Yes." The transcript records that a motion "carried," but it does not identify which specific motion or agenda item that vote applied to, nor does it provide a roll-call or numerical tally.
Earlier in the record, Speaker 1 commented on staffing and rehiring practices, saying the speaker was not in favor of bringing retired or part-time employees back into county offices when there are existing staff: "Feel like the part time employees coming on with accessibility, the personal information of employees and everything and being bonded. Once they retire, I think they should go and we ought to tie that office up. I'm not for bringing employees back when we have so many employees." That discussion appears separate from the IST funding request.
The transcript does not specify a date for when the commission will consider the IST funding request, who will formally move the agenda item, or any final vote tally on the funding request itself.
