Special meeting sees Second Amendment wording revision

ELLIJAY, Ga. – A change in the Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolution and lighting on the tennis courts were only part of a Special Called March meeting that also saw an update to county’s pool design.

A small change in the Second Amendment Sanctuary Resolution in Gilmer County saw a small group of people attend the Special Called Meeting on March 6, 2020.

This addition actually states the commonly used moniker for Second Amendment Sanctuary/Protection County in the resolution now. The change, in fact, was 13 words added to the resolution, “that Gilmer County is hereby declared a Second Amendment Sanctuary/Protection County and” as highlighted in the 20-xxx Second Amendment Resolution v.3.

The county also approved to distribute RFP’s (Request for Proposal) for prices and quotes on adding lighting to the county’s Tennis Courts. Looking into the option for a State Equivalent Bid price and the options for quotes instead of bids. The item didn’t require a bidding process. But, the commissioners still wanted to look for quotes and comparative pricing as they seek to add the lighting. This process will move forward in the coming months as the county looks into quote prices.
