County to accept small EPD scrap-tire reimbursement; planning bylaws update set for March 5 consideration
Summary
Keep Dawson County Beautiful reported an EPD reimbursement award of $4,240 for a tire amnesty event; Richard Osborne briefed commissioners that updated long-range planning committee bylaws reviewed by the county attorney will be considered on March 5.
Aaron, co-executive director of Keep Dawson County Beautiful, told the board on Feb. 19 that the Georgia Environmental Protection Division approved reimbursement funds for the county’s tire amnesty event under the Local Government Scrap Tire Abatement (STAR) grant. Aaron asked the board to accept grant award 26ST042-003 for $4,240, noting the EPD director Jeffrey W. Cowen approved the award on Feb. 9.
Separately, Community Development Director Richard Osborne reported that the long-range planning committee has been reenergized with roughly eight appointed members and monthly public meetings on the fourth Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. in the courthouse administration conference room. Osborne said the county attorney reviewed the committee’s updated bylaws and staff will ask the board to consider approving the recommended version on March 5.
Both items were presented for board consideration; the transcript records these as presentations and requests but does not show final votes during the work session.
