Hall County, cities could lose state funding without service delivery agreement by June 30
Placeholder Image
Hall County and its municipalities are in danger of losing out on state grants and permits issued by the state if they don’t reach consensus on a service delivery agreement that must be filed with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs by June 30.The service delivery agreement is mandated by state law “to minimize inefficiencies resulting from duplication of services and competition between local governments.” Hall County and participating municipalities last filed a revised agreement in 2004, according to information on the DCA website. Complicating negotiations on reaching a revised service delivery agreement is a simmering dispute between Hall County and the city of Lula over a sewer agreement they signed in 2006.
