Cunningham said the commission continued the SAIL program (Scholarship, Advocacy, Leadership and Empowerment), meets twice a month, developed SAIL-focused lesson plans, held community-service events including a blanket drive for people experiencing homelessness and participation in a walk-run for the homeless, and partnered with Keep Liberty Beautiful and other local groups. She said the commission held elections for officers and listed the officers by name: Ava Berger (vice chair), Mahi Patel (secretary), Emily LeCount (treasurer), Daisy Keller (story historian) and Marcia Carabella (parliamentarian).

Cunningham described a field trip to the state Capitol in Atlanta, where the youth commission met Representative Al Williams and met with Fulton County's youth commission for benchmarking and learning. Commissioners thanked the commission for presenting, acknowledged the county's recent budget increase that helped fund the trip, and asked the group what priorities they would advocate for; student speakers discussed youth civic engagement, resisting trends, and a desire for more family-oriented entertainment options in the county.

The board thanked the youth commissioners and invited them to take a group photo with commissioners at the close of the presentation.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Liberty County Live Event","oneSentenceSummary","Youth Commission chair Jada Cunningham told the board the commission maintained its SAIL program, held community service events, and took a field trip to the Georgia Capitol; commissioners acknowledged the group's work and the board's recent budget increase that funded the trip.","taxTitle","Liberty County, Georgia","taxId",28538,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6300297,"Board approves switch to Paylocity payroll and HR system; ARPA to cover implementation",283,1510000,1793000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b&start=1510&end=1793","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b/thumbnail_1510000.jpg","/articles/6300297/Liberty-County/Georgia/Board-approves-switch-to-Paylocity-payroll-and-HR-system-ARPA-to-cover-implementation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300297-67d7735f84f2ef8b015b3f3458cd607d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942195&Signature=R6Rp8TFdDmHHoKHxxWeMXffYtNTChiHG4MTKW6qg2baSzQGJH-jVtv4RE5Qi1W26kGOfS6TnDxDpMsPWrUiY8WkAsVfoV3rhYwKBTuZfFjNS30QK6mk3meXs29nex7tOJV-blOo0Gi8bwqfg16-XgAEQUJLteReClw6CXoJUGglpa0DD1EcItLgVSLuESQOOyMPkxRm30EbJT~KSJHh67hugP9pZlJHj78BbRKm0ge680xCITychwNbJllgM4G6cO3NxuVfznEsQZW59ulezIUweB9KrYvAE5qIDcHYrQYGIU3FXhi85q83OSM~~gX05VPl086oFpoTrgsL2LIi6iA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Liberty County Board of Commissioners approved moving the county payroll and HR system from ADP to Paylocity and authorized implementation to begin April 1.

County staff said they compared three vendors and selected Paylocity based on functional fit for public-safety timekeeping, customer service responsiveness and the ability to include career-portal and appraisal features at no extra charge. Staff presented cost comparisons showing current ADP costs of about $240,000 and projected Paylocity recurring costs around $201,000; implementation costs were quoted at $28,500 and staff proposed using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to pay that implementation charge.

Presenters said Paylocity would better integrate with fire-service timekeeping (CrewSense reports) and reduce time spent manually importing and reconciling public-safety hours in ADP. Staff recommended an April 1 contract start and estimated a five-month implementation timeline, with potential for one month of overlap with ADP to ensure payroll continuity; staff told the board they expect to be fully operational by August.

Commissioners asked about vendor demonstrations and references; staff said vendors provided virtual demonstrations and references were checked with favorable feedback. A motion to approve the presentation and move forward with Paylocity implementation was made and seconded; the board approved by hand/voice vote.","Commissioners approved replacing ADP with Paylocity, citing better public-safety timekeeping integration, lower ongoing costs and a $28,500 implementation charge to be paid from ARPA funds; staff said launch would begin April 1 with a roughly five-month implementation period.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6300300,"Commission approves $226,000 camera upgrade for four downtown county buildings",511,988000,1499000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b&start=988&end=1499","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b/thumbnail_988000.jpg","/articles/6300300/Liberty-County/Georgia/Commission-approves-226000-camera-upgrade-for-four-downtown-county-buildings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300300-0817301259d0c147041ff975e3d5a672/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942195&Signature=JDTVqUBUtBEreIG5C5sp-WCJMsP~wJPdoOo75Rmf6hn1j4xL87G6h66KS41QtAps8KI1VAAWiadk1VwQ87DFsa6dDph7uy0QpV5LK0umJypePcb9R0tbQm9N4iF4KTbD79DKGZrAiKLKbgRicvezmX~XazZtDQ8f-1INpOx48B8G-ufDwqb6ceptPYBcCynQf~E1S~NE9vezhlXf2fMdmGABPnMuQidv-Ivml3d4wRaloYHGmPHKWPLHmJBdcC6v1qB88jieB9adsSKtIJLb9nHhSsO0fPB0VgzhiBCo~OAY8thl66FvhAOZOj1EJYDkrNqFoEfPTk3lHqnY0yi4rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Liberty County Board of Commissioners voted to buy a new video surveillance system covering four downtown county properties for $226,000.

A presenter for the project said the package includes infrastructure, servers and 108 cameras (including pan-tilt-zoom and night-vision capability) to cover public areas in the Justice Center, the annex, the historic courthouse and the Narcotics Investigations Building. The presenter said the earlier vendor estimate had been more than $800,000; the current proposal is $226,000 and, once licensed, requires no ongoing maintenance contract or annual licensing fees according to the presentation.

County staff told commissioners they planned to contribute $50,000 from leftover funds in a school-safety program and to fund the remaining balance from sales-tax proceeds identified for public safety (referred to in the meeting as \"sales tax 7\"). The presenter emphasized that the system would cover public-accessible areas and parking lots but not private areas, and that authorized security staff could access pan-tilt-zoom controls after hours.

A motion to adopt the proposal was made and seconded; the board approved the purchase by voice/hand vote.

No vendor name for the accepted bid was recorded in the discussion in the transcript excerpts. County staff noted they had discussed the project with judges and the board of elections and said those offices supported improved camera coverage.","The board approved a $226,000 purchase to replace and expand video cameras at the Justice Center, annex, historic courthouse and the Narcotics Investigations Building; funding to come partly from an existing school-safety account and sales-tax proceeds.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6300306,"Commission approves March 20 extension for Miller Park work",70,0,70000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b&start=0&end=70","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2493271-bb8cfa3a579d92d590bb4dd3fab6c73b/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6300306/Liberty-County/Georgia/Commission-approves-March-20-extension-for-Miller-Park-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6300306-a408293cd35eb17b2a6a5c55c78abaf9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770942195&Signature=OKiioZvJledPMUpM80pOUcwWprACaawITJ4BlbqDavlyKl9nQt6nQ070OblKb2kuXyWGj0rYZCxBzwZc3bAdIscT6uTXqNvqjJBDCYXgYl2CKbOr7Bc6FZiXvSIm~0I8taX-oM6vCYzmOQX18eqbiV5o7xMwob3ESjFvLB4SXH7iLtB12ql6h~a4Law2McFLgjwF~lPlksklHP4RBvmOtzPniS42KrM0MGWOKSqCi1VIkiI4vMYp8Up2mHhZAsmWuKGrMMFKsx2zYRJdznVksPej2g4hud46y2MHW9v04ngs67J6cwmXiLiYm2Red5X7dHCh~GBf0uji6wQgl1qEhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Liberty County Board of Commissioners voted to extend the contractor's deadline for finishing work at Miller Park to March 20.

The extension covers items the board described as cleanup and drainage work while the project is otherwise at or past substantial completion. A board member said the outstanding amount on the contract was under $5,000 and that the remaining work included a septic-system item excluded from the general substantial-completion determination.

Commission discussion focused on whether workers were on site and the practical meaning of \"substantial completion.\" One commissioner asked staff to inspect the site; another asked that any contractor request for an extension be memorialized in the record. A motion to grant the extension was made and seconded, and the board approved it by voice/hand vote.

No additional funding or contractual change beyond the extension date was recorded during the discussion.
