Pickens County commissioners approve recycling grant, renew fiscal agent role and appoint ethics panel; hangar site change OK'd
Summary
At its March 2 meeting the Pickens County Board of Commissioners accepted a recycling and waste‑diversion grant, renewed the county's role as fiscal agent for Family Connections, designated an ethics‑complaint panel of outside attorneys and approved a site change for Hangar H05 at the county airport.
The Pickens County Board of Commissioners on March 2 approved four routine items before moving into a work‑session discussion of land‑use changes.
The board voted to accept a recycling and waste‑diversion grant the chair read aloud (the amount announced in the meeting was read as "$33 and $980," recorded in the meeting transcript). Commissioners thanked county staff, with the chair singling out "Kenny and his team" for preparing the application.
Separately, the board unanimously agreed to continue serving as the fiscal agent for Family Connections, an annual pass‑through role that allows paperwork to be submitted to the state on the program's behalf.
The county also adopted a resolution listing outside law firms to serve on a panel that will handle ethics complaints under an ordinance the county adopted in 2024. The chair read the firms included on the panel and the board approved the resolution.
On a separate item requiring board approval, commissioners authorized a site change at the county airport for Hangar H05 to allow installation of a motorized bifold hangar door. The chair said the change imposes no county financial commitment; the request comes from the hangar owner and was approved by a motion and second.
The board handled the votes by voice and moved on to a work session that focused on newly adopted land‑use and subdivision procedures and several rezoning and special‑use cases scheduled for public hearing later in March.
