Chatham County commissioners approve appointments, budget transfers and event variance
Summary
At its Oct. 3 meeting the Chatham County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of appointments to local boards and authorities, authorized several budget transfers and granted a noise-ordinance variance for an annual fundraising event.
Chatham County commissioners approved a package of appointments, budget transfers and an event variance during their Oct. 3 meeting.
The board voted to appoint or reappoint a group of citizens to county boards and authorities, including Live Oak Public Library, the Department of Family and Children Services, the Chatham County Hospital Authority, the Coastal Regional Commission and the Chatham County Zoning Board of Appeals. The motion to approve the slate was moved and seconded and the board voted to confirm the appointees.
The board approved budget amendments and transfers described on the agenda. The items included a transfer within the solid-waste/water-and-sewer accounting to correct which fund paid for a vehicle, and a transfer of $48,588 from a solid-waste vehicle account for a related transfer out. The transcript did not provide complete, unambiguous dollar amounts for every line item; the record shows the board approved the package after a staff explanation that the vehicle purchase should have been charged to the solid-waste fund rather than water and sewer.
Commissioners also approved a request for a variance from the county noise-control ordinance for an annual fundraising event at Roberts Dairy, 2500 Tuskegee Avenue in Savannah. The board moved, seconded and voted to grant the variance.
Throughout the meeting, commissioners cast votes by voice at the direction of the chairman; the transcript records motions, seconds and that votes were cast but does not include roll-call tallies for each motion in the public record excerpt.
