Garden City council approves FY2025 budget amendment, applies for Telair Road grant and adopts Chatham County hazard plan
Summary
At its May 4 meeting the Garden City City Council approved a FY2025 second budget amendment to move four invoices into FY2025, authorized a GDOT local road assistance grant application for $150,279 toward Telair Road rehabilitation, and adopted the Chatham County multi-jurisdictional hazard mitigation plan update; all measures passed by roll call.
The Garden City City Council approved three administrative resolutions at its May 4 meeting: a second amendment to the FY2025 budget, authorization for a Georgia Department of Transportation local road assistance supplemental grant application for Telair Road, and adoption of the Chatham County multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2026 update.
A city staff member explained the FY2025 budget amendment was necessary because auditors required the city to accrue four invoices that were received in 2026 for services provided in 2025, moving those costs back into fiscal year 2025. Councilmember Bruner moved to approve the amendment; the motion was seconded and the council approved the resolution by roll call with all recorded members voting in favor.
On the Telair Road item, staff said Garden City is eligible to receive $150,279 in state Local Road Assistance supplemental funds for partial rehabilitation of Telair Road and that no local cash match is required. The council voted to authorize the mayor to execute the Georgia Department of Transportation application and related forms.
Council members also approved a resolution adopting the Chatham County multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan 2026 update. Staff explained that adopting the county plan is required for jurisdictions to remain eligible for state and federal disaster funding following a declared disaster. The measure passed on a roll-call vote.
Before adjourning, a council member moved that the council enter executive session to continue a personnel discussion from the pre-agenda; the motion to enter executive session was approved by roll call. The council reported they entered and later returned from executive session and "didn't reach no agreements."
