Chairman Batemon proposes $1 million municipal assistance package over 10 years
Summary
Chairman Stanley D. Batemon proposed allocating $1,000,000 to municipalities over a ten-year span (about $100,000 per year) to assist with bond issues and municipal projects; the proposal was discussed but no formal vote was recorded.
Chairman Stanley D. Batemon told the commission he would like the county to consider giving municipalities $1,000,000.00 over a ten-year period to help with bond issues and municipal projects. "This would help with bond issues for the municipalities and the financial aspects for projects needed by the cities/towns," the minutes record. He said the funds could be unrestricted or restricted to specific projects.
The minutes show Batemon offered to yield time from his report to allow candidates and constituents to speak during meetings for a limited time. Commissioners did not vote on the municipal assistance proposal during the meeting; the item is recorded as a proposal requiring further consideration and possible restrictions if the commission proceeds.
