Tift County schedules consent items for Oct. 9 meeting and holds executive session
Summary
At a workshop on Oct. 3, 2023, the Tift County Board of Commissioners placed several items on the Oct. 9 consent agenda, removed two items from the agenda pending agreements/clarification, and entered executive session for real estate and legal matters; motions to enter and exit executive session passed 6–0.
During its Oct. 3 workshop, the Tift County Board of Commissioners reviewed several items intended for the Oct. 9 regular meeting and took procedural steps including an executive session.
County Manager Jim Carter reported that condemnation proceedings for two parcels on Red Oak Road were removed from the upcoming agenda after the property owners agreed to execute a purchase-and-sale agreement for the same amount originally contemplated in the condemnation. The board indicated it would place that change on the consent agenda to be removed. Recreation Director Tim Petrea said the UFA soccer agreement had been amended to strengthen termination and fee-payment language; the board indicated it would place the agreement on the consent agenda. County Attorney Anthony Rowell reported he was still researching statutory distance requirements from churches for an alcohol beverage license application for 2735 US Highway 41 South (41 Food Mart) and expected to report at the regular session.
Other items the board indicated should go on the consent agenda included Resolution No. 2023-16 to surplus equipment and the low bid by Cason Painting Company ($18,480) to paint the interior of the USDA side of the Ag Building. Public Works Director Jason Jordan asked the board to remove a side-arm mower purchase from the agenda pending clarification of State contract pricing. County Clerk Miriam Jordan said Southern Georgia Regional Commission requires a board resolution (Resolution No. 2023-14) to apply to the Georgia Department of Transportation for transit services; the board placed the resolution on the consent agenda. The board also indicated it would place Resolution No. 2023-15 supporting continued efforts to reform and improve mental health services on the consent agenda.
At Jim Carter’s request the board entered executive session for real estate and legal matters; Commissioner Melissa Hughes moved and Commissioner Greg Wood seconded. The motion carried 6–0. After the executive session, Hughes moved to adjourn it and reconvene; Wood seconded and the motion carried 6–0. The workshop then adjourned.
