Ben Hill County approves tech contract, selects engineer for CDBG application and appoints Katie Petrie to Board of Health
Summary
The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an AsystYou Technologies contract, selected Haughsteder and Associates as engineer for the 2025 CDBG application, and appointed Katie Petrie to the Ben Hill County Board of Health after a member moved away.
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Ben Hill County Board of Commissioners approved several administrative actions including a technology contract, an engineering selection for the county’s 2025 CDBG application and a Board of Health appointment.
Commissioner John Mooney moved to approve a contract with AsystYou Technologies; Vice-Chair Hope Harmon seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Vice-Chair Harmon then moved to select Haughsteder and Associates as the engineer for the county’s 2025 Community Development Block Grant application; Commissioner Daniel Cowan seconded and that motion also passed unanimously.
On appointments, Commissioner Daniel Cowan said that 'Health Parrish' was no longer eligible to serve on the Board of Health due to relocation and recommended Katie Petrie to fill the seat. Vice-Chair Hope Harmon moved to appoint Katie Petrie and Commissioner Daniel Cowan seconded; the board approved the appointment on a unanimous vote.
County Manager Hampton Raulerson also told the board that three hearings on HB 581 had strong turnout and asked the board to hold a special called meeting Feb. 18 to vote on that bill. In his report Raulerson said the Department of Revenue’s digest review shows the county’s digest at 38.4%, which he said is within the required range.
