Commission approves move of election office into county complex, okays $110,000 capital transfer
Summary
The commission approved relocating the election office into vacant space at the county complex and voted to transfer $110,000 from the Capital Projects Fund Balance to account 91706 to fund associated work.
DeKalb County commissioners approved relocating the county election office into a vacant space in the county complex and authorized a budget amendment to fund renovations.
Commissioner Tom Chandler moved to approve use of the vacant space adjacent to Shannon Cantrell’s office for the election office; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call. Commissioners then approved a budget amendment to move $110,000 from the Capital Projects Fund Balance to account 91706 (Capital Projects — County Buildings) to cover the work. The motion to transfer funds was seconded and passed by roll call.
Commissioners discussed funding source options; one commissioner noted capital project funds are appropriate for a one‑time construction expense rather than the general fund. The clerk recorded a roll call showing unanimous support for the relocation and the funding transfer.
The county will proceed with competitive bidding for construction work and move planning; the county’s facilities and elections staff will coordinate the schedule and procurement.
