Royston backs Hart County T-SPLOST referendum; resolution lists local allocation
Summary
Royston approved a resolution authorizing participation in a Hart County T-SPLOST referendum and authorizing city officials to execute intergovernmental agreements; the resolution lists an estimated Royston allocation (transcript records $716,200 in the manager's remarks and $716,800 in the resolution text).
The Royston City Council on July 14 approved a resolution authorizing the city to participate in Hart County’s planned Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (T-SPLOST) referendum and to execute intergovernmental agreements allocating proceeds to municipalities if the referendum is approved.
City Manager Lanier Dunn explained that Hart County will call the referendum and that participating municipalities are proposing to share proceeds in a manner similar to the county's regular SPLOST distribution. In the meeting discussion Dunn stated the proposed amount for Royston was $716,200; the resolution text included in the meeting minutes lists an estimated allocation of $716,800 for Royston. The resolution cites O.C.G.A. 48-8-260 et. seq. as the enabling statute and authorizes the Mayor, City Manager, and City Clerk to execute agreements when prepared by the Hart County attorney. The motion to approve the resolution was moved by Councilman Matt Fields, seconded by Councilman David Pressley, and passed 6-0.
The resolution lists estimated proceeds for Hart County and its municipalities and states the T-SPLOST referendum is planned for the November 2026 ballot. Council recorded the distribution table and adopted the resolution on July 14, 2026.
