Votes at a glance: Chatham County appoints board members and approves budget amendments

The Chatham County Board of Commissioners on May 8 approved a set of appointments and budget amendments as part of its action calendar.

Appointments: the board voted to appoint Melinda Scott Hard to the Greenbryer board of directors and to appoint Commissioner Aaron Whitley to the Community Housing Service Agency. Motions were made and seconded and the board called for votes that were carried.

Budget amendments: the board approved a transfer of $25,000 in the general fund from a "blueprint grant contingency" to payments to others. The board also approved increases in two grant funds: the transcript records a $550,000 increase in a multi‑grant fund tied to a Georgia Office of Child Advocacy supplemental award. A second listed increase in a "National Opioid Settlement Fund" was announced in the record but the figure in the transcript is unclear and therefore not specified here.

Action calendar: after acting on the items above the board voted to accept the action calendar in its entirety.

What the record shows: motions were moved and seconded and votes were called for each action; the transcript records the board proceeding after each vote and advancing the agenda, indicating passage of the listed items.
