County announces budget hearing, Jimmy Daniel site closure, SeeClickFix and upcoming elections
Summary
At the town hall meeting, staff announced the permanent closure date for the Jimmy Daniel waste and recycling site, dates for the county budget hearing and adoption, encouraged use of SeeClickFix, outlined Oconee County 101 registration, and a board member summarized upcoming Public Service Commission election dates.
County staff and board members used the town hall to share several administrative notices including a permanent recycling-site closure, budget schedule and civic reminders.
Jimmy Daniel site: County staff said the Jimmy Daniel waste and recycling site will permanently close on July 30, 2025, because of work related to the 316 interchange at Jimmy Daniel Road.
Budget hearing and adoption: The county announced a second budget hearing to be held at 6 p.m. in the same room (date in May), and staff said the board expects to adopt the budget on June 3, 2025. The county posted budget materials on its website and provided a QR code on paper handouts.
Civic tools and classes: staff promoted the SeeClickFix app for reporting potholes, debris and other service requests, and highlighted an Oconee County 101 class series for citizens with registration opening in June. Staff also noted completed and ongoing park projects and road work during the announcements.
Public Service Commission election reminder: a board member reminded residents that the statewide primary is on June 17, 2025, with early voting beginning May 27 and absentee ballots available; two PSC posts were on the ballot and the PSC regulates utility rates and energy sourcing.
Ending: Staff closed by reminding residents of the next town hall (expected in October) and the county—s tax hearing on the 20th, and thanked attendees.
