Oconee County Commissioners Correct Appointment of Thomas To County Industrial Development Authority
The member of the Board of Education was appointed earlier, but his term wasn't to start until Jan. 1. He's been serving since October.
When the Oconee County Industrial Development Authority meets in January, it will have a newly appointed member.
That person is Mark Thomas, who has been serving since Oct. 13 even though he was not appointed officially until Nov. 11.
The IDA January agenda most likely will include a report from its Product Development Committee, which has been considering a revision of the county’s approach to zoning.
The IDA agenda for its cancelled meeting tomorrow afternoon had included such a report. Angela Helwig sent out an agenda for that meeting on Tuesday, but the county web site on Sunday lists the meeting as cancelled.
Thomas has been serving on the Product Development Committee since Oct. 13.
For an explanation of the confusing appointment and reappointment of Thomas and details on the Product Development Committee meeting last week, go to Oconee County Observations.
