Loading...
Summary
The board approved a Georgia Power lighting services agreement for E‑911, extended multiple permits (including a one‑year conditional‑use extension for 2874 Rock Quarry Circle), declared two vehicles surplus, and approved a $15,317.48 fuel invoice.
Stephens County commissioners approved a series of routine actions during the meeting, including a lighting contract, permit extensions, equipment surplus declarations and a fuel invoice.
The board voted to enter a lighting services agreement with Georgia Power to provide new floodlighting at the county E‑911 facility. County staff said the service will cost $40 per month and the expense is budgeted.
On land‑use items, the board considered a request from Zia Galeb for an 18‑month extension of a conditional‑use permit for property at 2874 Rock Quarry Circle. Staff said the original conditional approval was granted in September 2024 and is expiring. Commissioners noted that county permits typically do not exceed one year; Speaker 4 moved to extend the permit for one year to stay consistent with county policy, and the motion carried.
The board also approved an extension of a camper permit for occupants at 1118 Lakeland Drive while the county finalizes a revised camper‑permit process. The extension will remain in effect until the revised permit process is approved.
On county property and procurement, the board declared a 2007 Ford Fusion and a 2001 Expedition used by the rescue unit as surplus and authorized staff to sell them on GovDeals. The board approved an invoice from Acre Oil Company for regular gasoline in the amount of $15,317.48; funds are budgeted for the purchase.
All actions were taken by voice vote; the board recorded no roll‑call tallies in the transcript.
