Summary
Oconee County commissioners approved a $1,429,755 budget transfer to complete right‑of‑way acquisitions affecting six parcels for the State Route 53–Ray's Church Road–Malcolm Bridge Road roundabout.
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 9 approved a budget amendment transferring $1,429,755 to fund right‑of‑way acquisitions for the State Route 53–Ray's Church Road–Malcolm Bridge Road roundabout project.
County staff reported that the county reached agreements with the affected property owners for six parcels and that the requested funds will allow the county attorney and staff to complete closings. "We have reached agreement with the affected property owners for the Ray's Church, State Route 53 roundabout. There's an aggregate of 6 parcels affected by this. We have it budgeted, and we will need $1,429,755 from that budget transfers so that Mr. Haygood can complete the closings of the property," a staff speaker reported.
Commissioners moved and seconded the budget amendment, and a voice vote carried the motion. The transcript records no roll‑call tally. The action authorizes staff to proceed with property closings for the roundabout right‑of‑way acquisition.
The meeting record does not specify the funding source beyond a budget transfer or whether any individual parcel purchase prices were itemized at the meeting. No public comment on the amendment was recorded in the transcript.
