Dawson County lists appointments, defers vice chair vote and schedules SPLOST input meeting
Summary
Commissioners were presented with multiple board nominations and reappointments to take effect in January 2026, deferred the 2026 vice-chair appointment to the next meeting, and County Manager Joey Leverett announced a SPLOST-8 public input session on Dec. 8 from 6–7 p.m.; Shoal Creek roundabout lights were also reported turned on.
Chairman and staff presented a slate of board nominations and reappointments for terms beginning in January 2026, including members for the Construction Board of Adjustment and Appeals, the Industrial Building Authority, and the Tax Assessor Board. Staff emphasized that the Construction Board (under county code chapter 105) rarely meets but performs an important appeals function for building-official decisions.
The chairman said the board will take formal votes on those appointments at the next meeting. He also proposed deferring the 2026 vice-chair appointment (noting that Chris has served well and recommending reappointment at the next meeting), and no vote on the vice-chair role occurred during the work session.
County Manager Joey Leverett announced an informational and community input meeting for SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) number 8 scheduled for Monday, Dec. 8 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the assembly room to solicit public input on the SPLOST-8 project list. Leverett also reported that the Shoal Creek roundabout at Highway 136 had its lights turned on the afternoon of Dec. 4.
The session presented items for future board action; the transcript does not record formal approvals for the nominations or vice-chair appointment during the work session.
