The discussion clarified that while the company name was not required in the agenda title, it would be included in the final agreement.

Additionally, the commissioners authorized a Georgia Power easement for the Department of Watershed Management and approved the watershed management capital improvement plan for 2025 through 2034. Both motions were made by Commissioner Patrick and received unanimous support from the board.

The meeting concluded with time allocated for commissioner comments, reflecting a productive session focused on infrastructure and community development initiatives. The decisions made during this meeting are expected to enhance the county's recreational facilities and improve essential services for residents.
