Commissioners may take the first step later this month of borrowing up to $250 million for a series of school construction projects, which Superintendent Justin Robertson said would be the largest bond issue in the history of Hamilton County Schools.
Hamilton County commissioners narrowly voted down a resolution that would have limited the operation of short-term vacation rentals in certain unincorporated areas.
Hamilton County Schools officials are asking for an approximately $20 million increase in their allocation from county government next fiscal year, a request one commissioner said is not feasible given the county s lower than desired bump in revenue.
A resolution that would have prohibited new short term vacation rentals in residential zones of unincorporated Hamilton County failed to pass the County Commission and was sent back to a committee for tweaking over the next 30 days.
