North High Shoals council approves SPLOST 2027 intergovernmental agreement
Summary
The Town Council voted 5–0 to accept the county-drafted intergovernmental agreement (IGA) for SPLOST 2027 and authorized signatures; county chairman presented the document for execution.
The North High Shoals Town Council voted unanimously to accept an intergovernmental agreement for the proposed SPLOST 2027 sales tax program. Council member Eric Wright moved to accept the IGA as presented by Oconee County; Council member Eric Carlson seconded and the measure passed 5–0.
The agreement was presented to Mayor Stephen Goad and Town Clerk Sue Bishop by Oconee County Commission Chairman John Daniell for signatures, signaling the town’s formal participation in the county-led SPLOST 2027 process.
Why it matters: SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) programs fund capital projects across county and municipal governments. By approving the IGA, the town has agreed to the county’s terms to participate if voters authorize the tax in a future election.
Details and next steps: The motion accepted the document as presented by the county; the transcript records that the document was handed to town officials for signature. The council did not elaborate on a local project list or timelines during the meeting. Any voter authorization, project allocations or implementation steps were not specified at the meeting.
The council moved on after the signatures were accepted; no additional public comment or amendments to the IGA were recorded at this session.
