Board moves forward on preliminary Sunny Hills 5% rate resolution and hears Highway 79 corridor authority update
Summary
A commissioner read a preliminary rate resolution to begin a 5% Sunny Hills increase and set a public hearing, and updated the board that Bonifay voted to acquire the Highway 79 corridor system — a step toward dissolving the corridor authority — with county action possible next week.
Mr. Milton (speaker 7) told the board he will place the preliminary Sunny Hills rate resolution on the regular agenda; the resolution initiates a 5% rate increase the board previously supported and sets the process that includes publication and a public hearing in June. He said this is not the final rate resolution but the official step to move the matter forward.
Mr. Milton also briefed the board on the Highway 79 corridor authority, saying the city of Bonifay officially voted to acquire the system and take over grants, which staff indicated is the remaining step needed to dissolve the corridor authority. He said the corridor authority is meeting the following Wednesday and that the county may bring an agenda item on Thursday to accept the agreements and finalize the dissolution depending on that authority’s action.
Board members did not take final votes on either item during the workshop; Mr. Milton characterized his remarks as a for‑the‑record update and said a formal agenda item may be added later.
