Bibb County approves $25,000 sheriff’s wellness grant and denies 2023–24 ad valorem tax refund request
Summary
The commission accepted a $25,000 Payton Anderson Foundation grant for the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office to fund emotional wellness and conflict-management seminars (no local match) and voted to deny a 2023–24 ad valorem tax refund request under OCGA 48-5-3A for May Ivy.
At its March 24 special-call meeting the Bibb County Commission approved two formal items by voice vote.
The board authorized acceptance of a $25,000 discretionary grant from the Payton Anderson Foundation to the Bibb County Sheriff's Office for a community emotional-wellness and conflict-management program (the record describes the award as "no match" and for seminars on conflict and anger management). The resolution was moved and seconded and the motion carried.
On old business the commission considered a request for refund of 2023–24 ad valorem taxes submitted by May Ivy pursuant to OCGA 48-5-3A. The item had been discussed and approved in pre-commission; the commission followed the pre-commission recommendation and denied the refund on the floor (motion carried).
Also at the meeting the board approved routine minutes from March 18, 2026. The meeting was then adjourned.
Next steps: departments and the sheriff’s office will implement the grant-funded seminars as described in the grant materials provided to the commission; the tax-refund denial concludes the matter unless appealed under applicable procedures.
