County Manager Michael Dinnerman reported to the Ben Hill County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 5 that year-to-date Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) collections were $266,000 higher than the prior year and Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) collections were $238,400 higher year-to-date. He told the board the county did not use its tax anticipation note (TAN) for the fiscal year and recommended submitting an application for the TAN.
Dinnerman framed these figures as positive revenue trends that improve the county’s fiscal position. The minutes record these figures as year-to-date comparisons; the manager recommended staff proceed with a TAN application but the minutes do not record any formal motion or vote on the TAN at the meeting.
