Commission approves Donate Life proclamation, routine minutes and a small tax refund; manager to return revised budget
Summary
At its April 1 regular meeting the board unanimously approved minutes, a National Donate Life Month proclamation, a tax refund for Parcel C05 0001 and multiple budget amendments. County staff will return a revised budget to address a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar shortfall.
The Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County unanimously approved routine business and several agenda items at its April 1 regular meeting.
Motions passed on the consent portion of the meeting included approval of the March 4 regular meeting minutes and executive-session minutes, and the March 25 work-session minutes. Commissioners also approved a National Donate Life Month proclamation recognizing LifeLink® of Georgia’s donor registry work.
The board approved a tax refund tied to a corrected assessment on Parcel C05 0001 (116 Angelia Drive). Documents from the Board of Assessors show a corrected valuation and list a refund for 2023; the meeting packet contained two closely matching figures for the refund amount (the motion listing $38.31 and the assessors’ letter showing $38.38). The assessors’ letter provides the detailed breakdown required by O.C.G.A. for corrected assessments and refunds.
On motions by commissioners, the board unanimously approved several budget amendments moving reserve funds into operating accounts to cover specific FY2024 shortfalls; the total amendment amount presented in the packet was $294,725.
The regular meeting lasted roughly 20 minutes and adjourned at 6:19 p.m. Chairman Charles Coffey and county staff asked that residents contact the sheriff’s office for enforcement of speeding complaints raised on the agenda; the manager said he would re-invite the sheriff to discuss enforcement and traffic-calming options at a future meeting.
The board’s actions were recorded in the April 1 minutes; staff will publish the finalized minutes and the approved resolutions as part of the public record.
