Hull council authorizes mayor, clerk to sign intergovernmental agreement tied to SPLOST

Hull's mayor and council unanimously approved an intergovernmental agreement with the county that would govern distribution of Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) funds if the measure is approved by voters in November. The motion to authorize the mayor and clerk to sign and transmit the agreement was made by Councilmember Mike McElroy and seconded by Councilmember Steven Hollingsworth.

Mayor John Barber presented the terms of the agreement during the meeting, describing it as an arrangement that sets out "future payments and allowable projects" contingent on SPLOST approval. The council voted unanimously to proceed; no dissenting votes were recorded. The council did not vote on the underlying SPLOST referendum itself, which will be decided by voters in November.
