Authority approves minutes, hears insurance and strategic-plan updates and answers public questions
Summary
The board approved the March minutes, heard that clerk Jennifer Mahan is obtaining board insurance quotes, received a Strategic Plan copy prepared by the University of Georgia via an ARC grant (publicly available), and answered public questions about environmental review and other county-drafted drawings.
The meeting opened with routine administrative business: quorum was established and Jason Henson moved to approve the March 9, 2026 minutes; Rhonda Mahan seconded and the motion carried. County Clerk Jennifer Mahan told the board she was still securing quotes for board insurance and expected to bring estimates to the next meeting. She also provided the board a copy of the Strategic Plan that the University of Georgia completed for Blairsville and Union County under a grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission; attendees were told the Strategic Plan is available to the public.
During the public-question period, attendees asked whether the board would check environmental issues related to a proposed meat processing plant; the board answered that it would check environmental issues. Other public questions asked about a county-prepared ball field drawing (board said it had no involvement) and whether the DA had a role in relocating the dog park (board said no). No formal votes or directives beyond routine administrative follow-up were taken on these public questions.
