Summary

The board authorized submission of a $2 million Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank grant application to fund two roundabouts and a right-in/right-out at the Dawson Park entrance; the resolution passed by voice vote.

A staff presenter asked the board to authorize submission of a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank (GTIB) grant application to fund entrance improvements at Dawson Park, described as two roundabouts and a right-in/right-out.

“The request here before you in resolution form is just authorizing me to submit the grant to Serta and the GTIB for the amount of $2,000,000 that would go toward the entrance to Dawson Park,” the presenter said. The board asked for public comment; none was offered. Commissioner (speaker 9) moved to approve the resolution supporting the GTIB grant application; the motion was seconded and the board voted 'Aye' and the motion carried.

The resolution authorizes staff to submit the application and does not obligate county matching funds in this motion; staff indicated they would be available to answer questions about project scope and any future requirements if the grant solicitation advances.
