Notes to Public & Rules of Procedure

The FY2024 Budget Proposal was completed on June 1st, 2023. The proposal was sent to all members of the Board of Commissioners for review, as well as posted on the Butts County website and sent for advertisement to the Legal Organ of Butts County. On June 2nd, an official copy of the budget document was placed in the office of the Board of Commissioners for public review and has been on display since that date. All advertisements for the proposed millage and budget have been placed within the Legal Organ for publication on June 7, 14 and 21, 2023 and will have been advertised at least twice prior to the holding of any hearings. The FY2024 Budget Hearing was held on June 15, 2023 as required by law, as were the first two of three required public hearings on the proposed County millage rate.

This public hearing is being held in accordance with the statutory requirements of O.C.G.A. 48-5-32 and related laws of the State of Georgia. While every attempt is made to comply with local ordinances and guidelines, in the event of a conflict, the State law shall supersede all others related to budget, millage, hearings and all matters related to the same.

During a public hearing, the only topic for discussion shall be the topic identified on the docket as the reason for the public hearing. Members of the public may speak for or against the proposed millage rate in the form of a statement. During public hearings on the proposed County millage rate, the only topic of discussion for the hearing shall be the proposed County M & O millage rate. Discussion on other topics will not be permitted and may be ruled out of order.
