Commissioners redirect SPLOST 7 funds for ballfields, ladder truck
Summary
The board voted to redirect roughly $2 million in SPLOST 7 funding to the My Turn Recreation Project (ball fields) and $414,628 to cover the county's portion of a ladder fire truck; both actions included stipulations that future SPLOST receipts would repay the amounts.
The Haralson County Board of Commissioners approved two reallocations of SPLOST 7 funds during the meeting.
Speaker 1 presented a proposal to redirect approximately $2,000,000 from SPLOST 7 to the My Turn Recreation Project to fund construction of ball fields. Speaker 3 moved the redirection and said the funds would be repaid when SPLOST 8 revenue is collected; Speaker 4 seconded. The board approved the motion by hand raise.
The board separately approved redirecting $414,628 from SPLOST 7 to pay the county's share of a new ladder truck that was secured with grant help. Speaker 4 moved the redirect for $414,628 and (as recorded in the transcript) seconded with the same repayment stipulation tied to future SPLOST 8 receipts; Speaker 1 called the vote and the motion carried by hand raise. The transcript records the repayment intent but does not include a formal repayment schedule.
Both motions were approved in this meeting; the transcript indicates staff and commissioners intend to repay the redirected amounts from future SPLOST proceeds when SPLOST 8 is collected. The transcript does not include a written repayment schedule, ordinance language, or a line-item budget amendment; those formal documents typically follow in administration/finance files and subsequent minutes.
