In a 5-1 vote Tuesday night, the Barrow County Board of Commissioners laid off five county employees.

The layoffs were included in a resolution that restructured the county’s organizational chart for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

In the restructuring, eight positions were eliminated, one was created, and the Department of County & Community Development — merged from three departments in connection with last year’s layoffs — was abolished.

The latest elimination of positions resulted in the termination of only five employees, who left their jobs late last week after being notified by BOC chairman Danny Yearwood. [Full Story »]

City of Statham officials approved a new millage rate of 5.619 Tuesday night during its September meeting. The new rate is an increase from 5.285.

Mayor Robert Bridges said the increase was as high as the council could go without a tax increase on citizens. The new rate will still equal a $13,000 deduction in revenue for the city. The new rate was approved unanimously.

City clerk Susan Gabriel said the new rate would go into effect later this fall when tax bills are sent. [Full Story »]
