County staff told the Appling County Board of Commissioners they had submitted a list of projects to the Georgia Department of Transportation under the state’s TIA program and that the DOT had returned a resolution the county must adopt to allow DOT to advance funding.

A county staff member described the arrangement: “With those projects, the DOT or part of that your sales tax money created the TIA Investment Act. With that, the resolution that they send after they agree after we send them, we agree with the projects. They send us this resolution that needs to be passed so that they can start funding the project, and then it won't come out of our our check.” The staff member said the projects include remaining work on Ten Mile Highway and Centella Church Road.

The staff member said the DOT intends to move the county’s money forward so the projects can be paid and then reimbursed to the county. The county asked the chairman to sign the resolution if the board approved.

A motion to approve the resolution was made and seconded. The board called for the vote. The transcript records no roll‑call tally; the board proceeded to other business after the motion was handled.

County staff said DOT was aiming to bid the jobs in August (described as an unofficial target) and that the resolution is needed before DOT disburses funds to begin the projects.
