Covington County chooses 85/15 Forest Service payment split; roads and schools share 85%
Summary
The commission selected the 85/15 Forest Service payment option, directing 85% of payments to roads and schools (split 50/50) and 15% to the county general fund, a choice the county has used previously.
County Administrator Karen L. Sowell presented the annual Forest Service payment-election options and recommended the longstanding 85/15 split. Under that option, 85% of the payment is distributed to roads and schools (Sowell stated that share is split 50/50 between those purposes) and the remaining 15% goes to the county general fund.
Commissioner Ben Courson moved to approve the 85/15 option and the motion passed unanimously. Administrator Sowell noted this distribution method has been used by the county in prior years.
