Dodge County sets 10-year budget item for Heart of Georgia Regional Airport
Summary
The board agreed Oct. 6 to designate a budget item for the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport for the next ten years based on ad valorem tax valuation of aircraft registered in Dodge County; county attorney advised the board it could not directly designate taxes.
At the Oct. 6 meeting, the Dodge County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to designate a budget item for the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport for the next ten years, based on the valuation of ad valorem taxes for aircraft registered in Dodge County.
Derek Hutchinson, vice-chair of the Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority, requested that the county designate ad valorem taxes from aircraft housed at the airport. County Attorney John Harrington advised the board that it could not directly designate taxes but could create a designated budget item based on tax valuation. Commissioner Sharon Cobb Flanagan moved to place a designated budget item in the county budget by intergovernmental agreement for the next ten years; Commissioner Jeffrey Jones seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
The minutes record the board’s approval to include a designated budget item and that the county counsel provided legal guidance on the limits of designating taxes. The minutes do not specify the dollar amount, the timing of budget execution, or the text of any intergovernmental agreement; those details are not included in the meeting minutes.
