Summary
At its May 6 meeting the Long County Board of Commissioners approved transmission to renew the impact fee, enacted multiple appointments and a regional authority resolution, amended a grounds contract, continued senior center funding, approved a final plat 3–1, and accepted a bid to sell the Huckaberry Community Well after executive session.
Key votes and outcomes from the Long County Board of Commissioners meeting on May 6, 2025:
• Impact fee transmittal (agenda item 9): Motion to transmit paperwork to the CRC and DCA to renew the Long County Impact Fee for 2025–2029 — moved by Commissioner John Reddish, seconded by Commissioner Jeremy Hall; passed unanimously.
• Appointments and reappointments (items 10–11): Accepted Mike Allen's resignation from Planning and Zoning; appointed Taylor Newell to Planning and Zoning for a three‑year term; reappointed Jimmy Shanken and Leona Rozier to the Development Authority; reappointed John Johnson to the Board of Assessors; reappointed and appointed members to the Wiregrass E‑911 Board; appointed library and facilities authority members — all motions passed unanimously.
• Tri‑95 resolution (item 11): Adopted a resolution creating the Tri‑95 Georgia Joint Development Authority to coordinate with Liberty and McIntosh counties — motion passed unanimously.
• Grounds maintenance contract amendment (item 13): Approved adding Long County DFCS sites to the scope of R & R Greencode, LLC — motion passed unanimously.
• Senior Center partnership (item 14): Approved continuing operation with Action Pact at $3,000 per month for FY 2025–2026 — motion passed unanimously.
• Bids tabled (item 15): Selection of bids for Recreation Department damages and Courthouse roofing were tabled pending insurance adjuster information.
• Final plat (item 16): Approved Final Plat for Phase 3 of Tatum Extension on Goose Creek Road — motion passed 3–1 (Commissioner Jeremy Hall voted no).
• Executive session and asset sale (items 25–27): Board entered and exited executive session; then accepted the bid for the sale of the Huckaberry Community Well to George Keithley — motion passed unanimously. The board adjourned thereafter.
Why it matters: the votes advance several operational changes and establish a new regional authority; the final plat and asset sale have immediate local implications for land use and property ownership.
