Whitfield County board approves meeting agenda, schedules evening millage decision

At the start of the special-called meeting Chair Javin Jensen asked for a motion to approve the agenda. A motion was made and the chair recorded: "Motion by Commissioner Robbins, 2nd by Commissioner Thomas." Jensen then called for a vote and said the motion "passes on a four-zero vote."

Jensen emphasized that the noon session was primarily informational and that "we will take action after I heard all the public comment, this evening," indicating the board intends to consider public input before voting on the millage. With no further public comment at the noon session the chair adjourned and reminded attendees of the 6 p.m. hearing where any formal action would occur.

The recorded procedural action at the noon meeting was limited to approving the agenda and adjourning; no millage motion or vote on tax rates was taken at noon.
