Habersham County weighs amendment to buy Demorest’s surplus fire gear
Habersham County’s Board of Commissioners had before it on April 20 a proposed amendment to the county’s fire-protection agreement with the City of Demorest that would allow the county to purchase the city’s surplus fire equipment and gear. The agenda identifies the amendment as an item for approval, but it does not record what action, if any, the board took.

The next public checkpoint is the April 20 board meeting minutes or a later county record stating how commissioners handled the amendment. Until such a record appears, residents cannot determine whether the agreement was changed, whether Demorest’s surplus equipment will be sold to the county, or what assets and financial terms any completed deal would include.
This matter rests on a single official record so far. It stays compact until a later record adds to it.
