Stephens County designates May 3, 2025, as Amnesty Day; approves double-time pay for workers
Summary
The board declared May 3, 2025, as Amnesty Day, authorizing double-time pay for county workers. Commissioners said the annual event collects large volumes of material—more than 100 tons last year—and benefits residents and county sanitation efforts.
The Stephens County Board of Commissioners voted to declare Saturday, May 3, 2025, as Amnesty Day and approved double-time pay for county workers who staff the event.
The Chair described Amnesty Day as a community cleanup program that allows residents to dispose of large items at the county shop; the Chair said the county and volunteers collected "over a 100 tons" of material during last year's event. Commissioners clarified that double-time pay has been approved historically for this extra Saturday event. The motion passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: Amnesty Day provides an opportunity for residents to dispose of bulky waste and can reduce illegal dumping; it requires additional staff time and overtime pay. The board authorized double-time pay for workers on May 3.
