Notes to Public & Rules of Procedure

The FY2024 Budget Proposal was completed on June 1, 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 the first hearings on June 15, 2023.

This series of public hearings 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.

During the public hearing on the proposed FY 2024 budget, a general overview and presentation will be made regarding the budget. The public hearing on the budget will then be opened and the public may then speak for or against the proposed budget in the form of a statement. The Commission will hear public input on these matters but will take no action on any of the items discussed on this agenda other than to open and close the meeting, as per the requirements of a public hearing. The public hearings are to hear from the public, but action will not be taken on either the millage rate or the proposed budget until the meetings scheduled for June 22, 2023.
