Troup County tables LaGrange Housing Authority parking-lot funding request pending joint agreement
Summary
County manager asked the board to table a LaGrange Housing Authority request for paving and joint funding; the board agreed to allow staff and attorneys to draft a joint funding agreement among the city, housing authority and county before returning the item.
County Manager (speaker 3) told commissioners he had been working with Deborah Black of the LaGrange Housing Authority and the county engineer on a request tied to paving a parking lot that will serve a quadraplex. He said the county needs a "joint funding agreement" among the city, housing authority and county before the project can move forward: "we are in need of some sort of a joint funding agreement," the County Manager said.
The county attorney (speaker 5) explained the county's legal limits and that the county can use an intergovernmental agreement when the subject involves a mutual provision of services or exchange of value; he emphasized that donations are treated differently than intergovernmental agreements. Commissioners voted to table the item to give staff and the attorney time to formalize the agreement and report back.
