The Chatham County Board of Commissioners voted to remove from the table and consider an amendment to Chapter 24, Article 1 (Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance) aimed at aligning format and clarifying development requirements in Special Flood Hazard Areas in unincorporated Chatham County. Chair called the motion to take the item off the table, the motion was seconded and the board voted to resume consideration and move to approve the amendment.

In the same session the board considered budget adjustments. Staff asked the commission to approve a transfer of $32,496 from contingency to recorder’s court salaries in the Special Service District fund and to increase both revenue and expenditures by $48,000 for the Greenbrier renovation project in the Capital Improvement Program. Commissioners moved and seconded the requests and the board cast votes on the calendar items.

The chair also read multiple ordinance items into the record for first reading, including an amendment to Chapter 13, Article 2 concerning Chatham Area Transit Authority membership and an amendment to Chapter 16, Article 1 (business license ordinance). A separate item to delete and replace Chapter 10, Article 3 (private detective, private security and alarm business) was moved through the meeting process. Second readings for the first-read items were scheduled for the next commission meeting.

The manager’s office provided supporting documents and staff reported these items will be reflected in the published minutes and ordinance text for formal second reading and adoption where required. The board recessed for other business later in the meeting.
