County manager outlines budget timeline, court-house projects and road easement status
Summary
County Manager Michael Dinnerman told commissioners the budget is under development, a public hearing is set for Dec. 20 with adoption planned Dec. 28, the 4‑H office is nearly complete, and work on Ed Ward Road awaits an easement from Fitzgerald Utilities.
County Manager Michael Dinnerman reported at the Dec. 5 Ben Hill County commissioners meeting that county staff are finalizing the 2024 budget and have provided draft budgets to each commissioner for review.
Dinnerman said the county has scheduled a public hearing on the budget for Dec. 20 and a special called meeting on Dec. 28 to adopt the budget. He added that advertisements related to the budget are scheduled to run in The Herald Leader on Dec. 13. The minutes do not provide details on proposed revenues, expenditures, or line‑item changes.
On capital and operations updates, Dinnerman reported the 4‑H office is close to completion. He also said county work on Ed Ward Road is advancing but remains contingent on Fitzgerald Utilities signing an easement that the county is waiting to receive.
The minutes do not record discussion or questions from commissioners about budget specifics, project costs, or the timetable for the Ed Ward Road work beyond the comments included in the manager's report.
