Elbert County approves agenda, consent and minutes; board postpones building-code fee resolution, staff to supply permit revenue numbers
Summary
The Elbert County Board of Commissioners approved the meeting agenda, the consent agenda and the April 24, 2025 special meeting minutes, postponed a resolution to update International Building Code fees and asked staff for updated permit revenue numbers ahead of the fee discussion.
The Board of County Commissioners approved the meeting agenda and the consent agenda by voice vote early in the session. The board later approved the April 24, 2025 special meeting minutes and dispensed with reading them aloud.
During staff reports the county manager (staff member, name not specified in the transcript) reminded department heads that auditors would be in the building for the next two weeks and encouraged staff to prepare budget materials and planning for the next fiscal year. The county manager also discussed a "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" staff training several department heads attended and said training topics drawn from that program will be rolled out to staff in coming months.
The board discussed a resolution to approve an updated International Building Code fee schedule but elected to move that item to the next board meeting to consider fee changes together. Commissioner Schroeder (recorded as asking for numbers) asked that the county manager coordinate with the building department and finance to provide final year-to-date revenues and permit counts ahead of the fee discussion.
The chairman said the county is exploring hiring a combined code-enforcement and animal-control officer to respond to recurring complaints and support planning and enforcement needs.
The board recessed the meeting until 1 p.m. for scheduled land-use hearings.
