Commission approves joint FY2019 CDBG application for Monitor Enrichment Center; vice‑chair abstains
Summary
Ben Hill County adopted a resolution to submit a joint FY2019 Community Development Block Grant application with the City of Fitzgerald to fund improvements at the Monitor Enrichment Center; Vice‑Chair Hope Harmon publicly disclosed a conflict and abstained from the vote.
Ben Hill County commissioners voted March 5 to adopt a resolution to submit a joint FY2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application with the City of Fitzgerald to secure funds for public facility improvements at the Monitor Enrichment Center.
Vice‑Chair Hope Harmon read a statement into the record disclosing a potential conflict of interest, saying she would "take no part in any future deliberations, decisions, or voting of the Commission with respect to the FY 2019 Community Development Block Grant for Public Facility Improvement project for Monitor Enrichment Program because my son attends the program." That disclosure was entered into the minutes prior to the commission’s vote.
Commissioner John Mooney moved to adopt the resolution and Commissioner Daniel Cowan seconded. The motion passed with Commissioners Mooney, Cowan and Bennie Calloway recorded in favor; Vice‑Chair Harmon abstained from discussion and vote due to the disclosed conflict. The minutes do not record recorded dollar amounts or the CDBG project application details; the resolution was recorded as adopted pending application submission with the City of Fitzgerald.
