As part of their Tuesday, Feb. 18 meeting, Bulloch County commissioners were expected to approve budget amendments with added expenditures totaling more than $10 million in the county government’s general fund, as well as $5.6 million and almost $1.2 million in two different sales tax funds.
This regular, public meeting was set to begin at 8:30 a.m. in the North Main Annex Community Room, the commissioners’ usual meeting place.
