The Chatham County Board of Commissioners opened public comment during a second-reading amendment to the county charter addressing Chatham Area Transit Authority membership.

Dania Swinton, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union representing Chatham Area Transit Authority workers, used her two minutes to thank the commission for funding provided through the millage and to flag operational pressures at the agency. "We are short operators," Swinton said. She told commissioners CAT remains indebted to the county, stating the system "is still in debt of $8,000,000 that we still owe you," and noted that the county has previously provided tens of millions in support.

Swinton also praised long-serving commissioners and urged residents to pay attention to district representation. Commissioners responded with thanks; the transcript records motions on the charter amendment and indicates votes were taken, though specific tallies do not appear in the transcript.

Separately the chair read that agenda item 11 was an intergovernmental agreement between Chatham County and the City of Savannah to establish a dam in Carver Village and stated the item "is passed now." The transcript does not include full IGA text or the vote roll call; the county's official minutes should be consulted for the formal record.

The charter amendment under consideration modifies local-act language governing CAT membership and was opened for public comment during the meeting. The board recorded a motion and second to approve the amendment and took a vote on the matter during the session (tally not specified in the transcript).
