Oconee County Commissioners Adopted Goals; Now Citizens Get To Share Their Concerns

The Oconee County Board of Commissioners earlier this year adopted a list of 22 goals for county government in 2017, ranging from immediate creation of an electronic records and filing system to development of a rails-to-trials program at some point in the future.

The Commission adopted the goals following a series of work sessions called after new Chair John Daniell replaced long-time Chair Melvin Davis in January.

Daniell also held a two-day retreat in January with county staff to discuss administrative procedures and goals.

On Thursday of this week, citizens will get a chance to react to the list or add their own concerns in the second Town Hall style meeting the Commission has held since the first of the year.

Daniell said the topics discussed will be determined by those who turn out at the meeting, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at the Oconee County Civic Center, 2661 Hog Mountain Road west of Butler’s Crossing.
