After three public hearings in August, the Georgetown-Quitman County Commission adopted Resolution R15-2025 to set the FY2025 millage rate at a called meeting Aug. 22; recorded votes list Yes — Bussey, Kinsey and Baggett.
The Georgetown-Quitman County Commission adopted Resolution R15-2025 to set the FY2025 millage rate at a called meeting on Aug. 22, 2025, following three public hearings held Aug. 15 (two sessions) and Aug. 22.
Chairman Carvel Lewis read the resolution at the Aug. 22 called meeting. Vice Chairman David Kinsey moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Willie H. Bussey seconded; the recorded vote lists Yes — Bussey, Kinsey and Baggett. The meeting notes do not list recorded votes for Chairman Lewis or Commissioner Jerry Green on that motion.
The millage hearings gave commissioners the chance to explain the drivers of the tax increase to residents. At the Aug. 15 evening hearing, Chairman Lewis responded to questions from the floor, saying the county has incurred cost increases that he said are mandated by the state. No members of the public were recorded as attending the Aug. 15 (9:00 a.m.) hearing or the Aug. 22 (9:00 a.m.) hearing; the Aug. 15 evening session recorded questions from attendees.
The resolution was moved and seconded according to the minutes and adopted by the recorded votes noted above. The minutes do not specify the exact millage rate number in the text of the recorded motion; the adopted document is referenced as Resolution R15-2025 FY 2025 millage rate.
