The Hall County Board of Commissioners recorded multiple formal actions at its Jan. 9, 2025 voting meeting. The following lists the agenda items, a short description and the recorded outcome on the meeting transcript. (This is a summary of formal actions taken; fuller material and staff reports are on file with the county clerk.)
• Item 20 — Mount Vernon Manor performance/maintenance guarantee (commission district 3): The board authorized the county attorney to proceed with collection of a performance and maintenance guarantee in the amount of $187,250 related to sidewalks in a 22‑lot Mount Vernon Manor subdivision. Staff said the item authorizes collection but does not mandate it; an extension is expected to be presented at the Jan. 23 meeting. Outcome: Motion passed (authorization to proceed recorded).

Outcome: Motion passed.

Outcome: Tabled to Feb. 13, 2025.
• Other procedural actions: The board approved consent items, accepted presentations and recorded closures/meeting schedule changes announced by staff.
The meeting transcript records each motion as passed, tabled or scheduled; in many cases the transcript records the vote in the customary “All in favor? All opposed? Motion passed” format without a roll‑call tally by name. For items that require follow-up (notably the Swansea Road condition amendment and the rezoning items that were tabled), staff were assigned follow-up tasks, including drafting implementing language, preparing design and budget options, and bringing revised conditions back to a future meeting.
