Board of Registrations expected to issue the call for TSPLOST today

FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — The Forsyth County Board of Registrations and Elections will meet in a called meeting today at 11 am when it is expected to issue a call for a Transportation Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax to be placed on the Nov. ballot.

County Attorney requests the Board of Commissioners amend the language in the SPLOST resolution approved last week.

The Board of Commissioners authorized the SPLOST in a resolution at the July 26 meeting, but the language was amended at last night’s Board of Commissioners meeting at the request of County Attorney Ken Jarrard.

The language initially included a list of projects that could be funded by SPLOST. Jarrard said the list of projects should not have been included on the ballot. The Board unanimously approved the amendment to delete the projects.

Commissioner Todd Levent called for the project list to be discussed in a work session later this month. “It is very important since its not on the ballot that we get a legitimate project list so the citizens know what we are going to work on. ” His motion was unanimously approved.
