$440,000 health center rehab The Early County Board of Commissioners voted to pledge additional funds to a renovation project at Monday night's commission meeting at the County Administration Building. Wanda Hudson appeared before the commission requesting they pledge additional dollars to the community block development project proposal to renovate the county's public health building on Flowers Drive. Hudson, who is grant writer and consultant on the project, told the commissioners that pledging additional local money would give the proposal more points and increase the likelihood of funding. The commission voted to add $40,000 to the $10,000 required by the CBDG program for a total of $50,000 local money. The project is expected to cost approximately $440,000 if funded. In other business, the commissioners approved a bid of $68,200 from Peek Pavement Marking for placement of road signs, striping and raised pavement markers on 41 miles of county roads. The project is funded 100 percent through the state department of transportation. A memorandum of understanding was approved for the Georgia U.S. Highway 27 Association, an organization of counties through which the highway runs. The group is joining together to develop tourism and economic development plans in the counties. Commissioners Perry Jarrett and Jody Glass were appointed to research retirement policies in other counties after a request for review of Early County policy by county employees. Citizens appearing before the commission included a taxpayer requesting assistance with a penalty charged for selling property in the conservation program. The property was sold prior to the taxpayer's remaining property being registered as conservation use with the tax assessor, but was included in the conservation use category because the date of effectiveness is Jan. 1 of the year registered. The property owner was not informed of that and now faces penalties. County attorney Bill Mills will look at the matter. Two mobile home owners appeared before the commission with similar problems concerning old mobile homes. One citizen was trying to move a 1972 mobile home and another was attempting to permit a 1986 mobile home. In both instances, permits were denied due to the age of the mobile homes.
County ordinances prohibit permitting any mobile home over 15 years old as well as moving old mobile homes into or within in the county.
