The Ben Hill County Board of County Commissioners posted a special called meeting for May 23, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. to consider USDA grants; the agenda also notes a possible executive session under O.C.G.A. provisions. The agenda provides no further details on the grant items.
The Ben Hill County Board of County Commissioners posted a special called meeting for May 23, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. at the Ben Hill County Courthouse Annex in Fitzgerald to consider USDA grants and possibly enter an executive session. The agenda, included in the meeting notice, lists two items: "USDA Grants" and "Executive Session."
The agenda does not describe the USDA grant items or supply grant amounts, program names, applicants or staff reports. The notice lists county officials by name and role, including Steve Taylor (chairman), Hope Harmon (vice-chairman) and Michael Dinnerman (county manager), but provides no speech text or motion language in the provided transcript.
The agenda states that an executive session would be held, if needed, "in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-14-2(1), 50-14-2(2), 50-14-3(4), and 50-14-3(6)," citing state open-meetings exceptions for certain confidential matters. The agenda does not specify the subject matter that might trigger an executive session.
No motions, votes, presentations, or public comment appear in the supplied transcript. Because the distributed agenda contains only item titles without supporting documents or staff summaries, details such as grant amounts, eligible projects, or recommended actions are not specified in the record provided.
The meeting notice gives the county's contact information and web address for the public record; anyone seeking more detail on the USDA grant items or the need for an executive session would need to contact the county clerk or county manager or consult supplementary materials not included in this transcript.
