MOULTRIE, Ga. â The Colquitt County Board of Commissioners quietly approved a $23.24 million budget at its Tuesday work session.
The vote came after more than a month of budget hearings in which each department head presented the case for his requested budget.
The budget, which will take effect July 1, is $441,199 more than the current fiscal yearâs budget, an increase of about 1.8%. County Administrator Chas Cannon said most of the difference is capital equipment, including a truck for the Tax Assessors Office, another for the county Extension agent, a planned upgrade to internet bandwidth, and service agreements for the ambulance service that cover the next six years.Â
