What this means now
The story
Habersham County's Road Department sought to reallocate SPLOST VII sales-tax funding that had already been approved in the FY2025 Capital Improvement Plan for a skid steer, dump truck and day cab tractor, proposing instead to buy a John Deere 6M145 tractor with boom mower and a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 work truck.
The Board of Commissioners took up the change at its April 21, 2025 meeting and voted 4-0 to amend the FY2025 CIP schedule so Public Works could buy the 2025 Chevy 1500 Silverado and the John Deere tractor with boom mower using SPLOST VII funds.
A county packet later listed the Silverado purchase for the Road Department at a total sales price of $46,085, matching the figure set out in the April reallocation request, and marked the vehicle as complete.
On June 16, 2025, the Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 to approve the purchase of one 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and two 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD trucks for Public Works.
