Summary

The board added and approved an emergency resolution (2026-50) identifying support for a potential state-level technology fee affecting superior court clerks; staff said the item is time-sensitive because of the Georgia General Assembly crossover day on March 6.

The Clayton County Board of Commissioners voted to add and approve resolution 2026-50 at the Feb. 17 meeting, authorizing the chairwoman to support consideration of a proposed technology fee for superior court clerks should the Georgia General Assembly consider such legislation.

Attorney Reed explained the item was added as an emergency because March 6 is crossover day for the General Assembly; staff said waiting until the March meeting could be too late for the county's support to be reflected. Commissioners voted to add the item to the agenda and to approve the resolution in the same meeting.

The resolution authorizes the chairwoman to take actions intended to support the county's position during the 2025–2026 legislative session, including communicating with state legislators. The resolution's text and specific legislative language were not included in full on the record; the staff packet notes the subject as "support for potential technology fee legislation."
