Depending on the magnitude of the request, the Board of Commissioners may delay placing the item on the agenda until such a time as proper research can be completed so as to support the board taking consideration of the request. The County thanks you in advance for your cooperation in this procedure.
Banks County encourages community participation in the governmental process. Consequently, the County would ask that all requests be in writing and that the request be made by noon on Thursday prior to the Commission meeting on Tuesday. Included with this written request should be any written information and/or documents that are supportive of the specific request. Without this information being available in advance, the Board of Commissioners will be unable to make a knowledgeable decision and will delay taking a position on your request. Public comments are limited to 5 minutes with a maximum of 20 minutes on a subject where several persons are part of the same group or organization and only one may be heard. The Chairperson shall enforce these limitations.
The Board of Commissioners reserves the right to continue the meeting to another time and place in the event the number of people in attendance at the meeting, including the Board of Commissioners, staff, and members of the public exceeds the legal limits. The meeting cannot be closed to the public except by a majority vote of a quorum present for the meeting. The Board can vote to go into an executive session on a legally exempt matter during a public meeting even if not advertised or listed on the agenda. Individuals with disabilities who require certain accommodations in order to allow them to observe and/or participate in this meeting, or who have questions regarding the accessibility of the meeting or the facilities are required to contact the County Clerk, at least three business days in advance of the meeting at 706-677-6902 to allow the County to make reasonable accommodations for those persons.
The Board of Commissioners meets the second and fourth Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. In the event that a work session is scheduled, the applicant will need to attend the work session and the Commission meeting. Please inquire as to the date and time of the proposed work session.
