Oconee County And Athens-Clarke County Officials Met To Discuss Collaboration On Wastewater Treatment

Oconee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis and county Administrative Officer Jeff Benko met with their counterparts in Athens-Clarke County in late June to discuss possible collaboration in wastewater treatment.

Benko described the session as “a short meeting with no meaningful results.”

Benko said no materials were exchanged and no notes were taken, and he said he didn’t even send notes to the commissioners about the discussions.

Benko said Oconee County initiated the meeting, which took place in Mayor Nancy Denson’s office in Athens.

Denson was accompanied in the meeting by Unified Government Manager Blaine Williams, according to Benko.
