Summary

Staff placed an agreement with Watkins and Associates LLC for engineering services tied to a 1 Georgia hurricane recovery grant and a one-year renewal of John Mobley’s public-defender services on the consent agenda; Planning Commission and court requests were referenced and no board vote is recorded in the workshop transcript.

At the workshop, staff identified consent-agenda items including an agreement with Watkins and Associates LLC for engineering services to support a county application for a 1 Georgia hurricane recovery grant, and a one-year renewal of an agreement with John Mobley to provide public-defender services for state court.

Staff said the county applied for the 1 Georgia grant after failing to obtain a competitive CBD grant this year and that the grant requires the county to approve an agreement for professional engineering services to proceed. On the public-defender item, staff said Judge Benson requested that the county enter a one-year agreement with John Mobley mirroring last year's arrangement for state court representation and DUI-court services.

The workshop transcript lists these items on the consent agenda; the record does not show a formal board vote or final approval during this session. The items will follow the county's consent process in subsequent meetings unless acted on at a later session.
