Fannin County agrees to state summer/after-school meal partnership and approves rec-center expansion bid process
Summary
The board authorized an intergovernmental agreement for the SFSP after-school/summer meal program with Fayette County and directed staff to put a rec-center expansion (two classrooms) out for bid to serve about 50 more children.
The Fannin County Board of Commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement with Fayette County to participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) for after-school and summer meals and authorized staff to solicit bids for an expansion of the recreation center to add two larger classrooms.
Recreation Director Eddie O'Neil told the board the county has operated meal programs for years and recently received a grant that supports expanding capacity; he estimated the expansion would serve roughly 50 additional children and described a plan to add classrooms in the right wing of the rec center. The board approved entering the agreement and moving the expansion to a competitive bid process.
O'Neil said architects have preliminary drawings and the project would allow the county to split space into two larger classrooms and better manage summer and after-school feeding operations. No specific construction budget or funding sources for the expansion were finalized in the meeting minutes; commissioners directed staff to proceed with procurement and return with cost estimates.
