Commissioners remove $5 million Development Authority budget amendment for further review

Clayton County Board of Commissioners · March 3, 2026

Summary

Board voted to take Item 10 (Budget Amendment 2‑10, $5 million to the Development Authority) off the agenda and asked staff to schedule a work session with the Development Authority to explain past spending; interim CFO said the funds come from a TAD, not the general fund.

A motion was made and seconded to remove Agenda Item 10 — Budget Amendment 2‑10, allocating $5 million to the Development Authority — from the regular agenda. Commissioners debated whether the request was time‑sensitive and discussed an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) from April 2024 that, if the Development Authority requested funds, the county would release them.

Commissioner Davis and others asked for clarification about the nature of the funds and whether the request required immediate action. The interim CFO confirmed the $5 million is associated with the Central Mountain View Tax Allocation District (TAD) and not general‑fund spending. Commissioners expressed interest in inviting the Development Authority to a work session next week to provide an accounting of prior disbursements and explain the proposed use of funds before any transfer.

The motion to remove the item from the agenda passed by voice vote. The chair indicated the item will be discussed at a subsequent work session after staff and the Development Authority provide requested clarifications.
