Appling County approves employee Christmas bonuses and adopts FY2026 landfill budget of $663,550
Summary
Commissioners approved one-time Christmas bonuses — $500 for full-time benefited employees and $250 for part-time employees (excluding seasonal workers) — and unanimously adopted the FY2026 landfill budget of $663,550, which must be approved separately as an enterprise fund.
The Appling County Board of Commissioners approved two budgetary items at its Nov. 4 meeting: a one-time employee Christmas bonus and the FY2026 landfill budget.
County Manager Reid Lovett recommended a $500 bonus for full-time employees who receive benefits and a $250 bonus for part-time employees, excluding seasonal workers; Commissioner Daryl Edwards moved to approve the proposal and the board voted unanimously in favor.
Lovett also presented the FY2026 landfill budget totaling $663,550 and explained that the landfill operates as an enterprise account that must be approved separately from the general fund. Commissioner Randy Sellers moved to adopt the landfill budget and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes do not identify funding sources or budget offsets for the holiday bonuses. The landfill budget figure was presented to the board; line-item details were not included in the meeting minutes and would be part of the formal budget documents.
