After considering placing a new detention center and sheriff's headquarters together on the November ballot, the Forsyth County Commissioners unanimously voted July 29 to separate the items for voters.
The commissioners had voted 3-2 the previous week to place the items together on the ballot, but rescinded that vote during a called work session. The two facilities will now be placed on the Nov. 4 ballot as two separate questions.
The county would issue its general obligation bond for the detention center in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75 million on a 30-year schedule.
The county would issue its general obligation bond for the sheriff's headquarters in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $16 million on a 20-year schedule.
In other business, the commissioners approved applying for a $2.12 million parks and recreation grant from the Georgia Conservation Trust Fund. Grant funding would be used for preservation of property along the Etowah River.
