I was honored to introduce this resolution to the BOC for adoption, marking Industry Appreciation Day in Butts County, and celebrating companies that have invested and continue to invest in our community. Thank you for being part of #ButtsCountyGa! #GeorgiaIndustry @ProcterGamble…
The April Board of Commissioners meeting will be held tonight with a workshop beginning at 5:30 PM in Courtroom B, followed by regular session.
Mr. Brown moves to adjourn, seconded by Mr. Rivers with unanimous consent. Adjourned.
The FY2024 Budget Process is underway and progressing smoothly.
The Regional GDOT Board Member spent several hours with us last week in Butts County and saw the growth that Butts County experiencing. We also discussed the need for a true bypass around Jackson for trucks so that cars can move smoothly through town.
Mr. Johnson is reporting the upcoming SPLOST planning process and that he has met with the City of Jackson and will meet with other cities. We are in the process of developing project lists to present to the elected officials for the future SPLOST.
Mr. Brewer reports that most of our public safety agencies are experiencing higher call volumes and numbers than this time last year and that public works call volume is up as well.
The monthly reports are being given to the Board by staff. CFO Rhonda Blissit reports that with 67% of the budget year complete, we have received 91% of revenue for the year and have expended 65% of the revenue.
Lynn Patterson with Three Points Planning is our new consultant who will be working with to define and develop architectural standards and design guidelines to help us guide future residential building standards, to ensure quality development. She is presenting to the Board.
Mr. Crumbley moves to approve the consent agenda, seconded by Mr. Brown and approved with unanimous consent. This includes: T-Ball Field Naming Appointment to Board of Assessors Disaster Administration Bid Award
The first Butts County Citizen’s Government Academy is up now for recognition. All participants have completed the six week course, which met for two hours each Thursday and have been exposed to all areas of County Government.
Mr. Henderson moves to approve the minutes, seconded by Mr. Crumbley with unanimous consent.
We are in session with the full board seated. The T-Ball field will added to the consent agenda along with the other items. Mr. Brown moves to approve, seconded by Mr. Rivers with unanimous consent.
This item will placed on the consent agenda. We are adjourned until 6:00 PM
Deputy County Manager Michael Brewer is presenting a candidate for the Board of Assessors, Mr. Michael Bateman. Mr. Bateman has been fully vetted and is willing to serve in this position if appointed to fill the remainder of the term,vacated by Mr. Charles Brody
The firm was the most responsible and responsive bidder and came in at $150,000.00, which will help us to recover the potentially millions of dollars that storm management and debris cleanup is costing the County’s reserve funds. This item will part of the consent agenda at 6PM
The next item is to present the Administration’s recommendation to award a bid for Disaster Administration and Consulting Services to Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC). This form would handle all of our FEMA processes and submittals on our behalf.
The next item is a followup on another joint meeting with the Water Authority to discuss engineer recommendations on west side water distribution. A meeting is scheduled between the two boards on March 21st at 5:30 PM.
The next item would be to have the board name a T-Ball field for Egan Jeffcoat, who was killed in Butts County during the January 12th tornado. He would have been in the first cohort to play on the new T-Ball field and County would like to remember him this way.
County Manager Johnson stated that the lease is going up and would make it more cost effective for the County to purchase the property, which appraised for $94,000.00 The Board wishes to pursue this further and to come up with an offer from the County.

Yesterday as part of our FEMA Incident Command training class, we deconstructed and evaluated our January 12th tornado response and where the various phases of incident command came into play across multiple responses around the county. Great job @ButtsCoFireDept
Today marks 37 years of working for Butts County for me. Even though most of those have been in the Commissioners Office, I still miss the Public Safety years a lot. These people were fun to work with and very instrumental in shaping my future.
The weekend of September 9th/10th will be a celebration of the Bicentennial of the Indian Springs Hotel, host site of the annual Native American Festival for 33 years. Make plans to join the Historical Society for this special celebration weekend! #ButtsCounty #IndianSprings

As of yesterday, our contractor has removed 11,751.5 cubic yards of tree debris generated by the January 12th tornadoes, spread out over 247 container loads. Grinding operations will begin this week, turning the debris into mulch. Great job by everyone involved! #ButtsCounty
Tuesday’s debris total reports are in, showing that about 1,540 cubic yards of tree debris was removed from #ButtsCounty right of ways yesterday. Due to anticipated high winds and storms today, debris removal will be halted until safe to work again. Work should resume Thursday.
Officially a Georgia resident as of today and could not be happier!
It’s been a great week for #TeamDuncan reflecting on how grateful we are for the support of so many over the last four years. Excited to start writing the next chapter in 2023!
