County manager outlines 2025 priorities: cemetery bylaws, CUP review, Friendship Road repairs and HB 581 outreach
Summary
At a Jan. 27 work session, County Manager Thomas Weaver proposed agenda items for Feb. 4 and the next work session: cemetery bylaws, conditional-use permit process review with Planning & Zoning, using 2024 LMIG funds for Friendship Road repairs, SPLOST bank-account items, reappointments to Planning & Zoning, and HB 581 informational planning ahead of a likely special election.
At a Jan. 27 work session, County Manager Thomas Weaver outlined several priority items the commission will consider in early 2025. Weaver said cemetery bylaws will be placed on the next work-session agenda, and he recommended a review of the county's conditional-use permit (CUP) process with the Planning & Zoning Board to identify ambiguous language and possible revisions.
Weaver also asked the commission to consider moving available 2024 LMIG funds to repair Friendship Road (and noted proximity issues with Liberty Hill Road), and he proposed creation of a dedicated SPLOST bank account item for board consideration. Commissioners agreed to reappoint several members to Planning & Zoning and to schedule public hearings; the manager explained HB 581 and said the county will likely need to hold a special election and run an informational flyer this November if the county remains opted in.
Department heads reported operational updates — parks staffing and field maintenance, animal-control concerns over stray dogs with collars, water well repairs and hydrant raises, and public-works promotions and fiber-locate work. Resident Robert Sumner offered to run charity training events for the community.
