CONSENT AGENDA

 
1.

Consider request from the Tax Commissioner to purge submitted bills from the Tax Commissioner's Roll in the amount of $1,500.10.

 
2.

Consider request from Finance to approve Modification #2 to HIDTA grant #G22GA0011A to reduce the grant award by $10,657.57. This is to remove funds in a prior grant in order to prepare to close the grant out.  All expenses and revenues for this grant were recorded in 2023.  Finance is requesting to lower the budget of 100519-55907-10022 by $29,990 to zero out the grant budget in the 2024 budget.

 
3.

Consider request from Police Department to approve the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police LEA Technology Grant in the amount of $30,000.00.  This will require an increase to the budget in Capital Projects for $30,000.00 for the revenue and an increase of $30,310.00 for the expenses. This will lead to a potential expense for Floyd County of $310.

 
4.

Consider request from EMA to approve the application for a grant from International Paper in the amount of $5,000.

 
5.

Consider the approval of new employee years of service recognition and reward program.
