Chatham County GA budget approved; American Rescue Plan funds next


Chatham County Commissioners greenlighted the county’s fiscal year 2022 budget on Friday. The approval follows a contentious meeting last month that resulted in the board failing to adopt the budget by the July 1 deadline.
The commission also voted to make Friday’s approval retroactive to July 1 in order to ensure that contracts and county employee merit raises were backdated. 
The budget approval delay was fueled by commissioner concerns over a request from the Chatham County District Attorney’s Office to reallocate funds from the jail and Sheriff’s office to fund four assistant district attorney positions. The total ask from the DA’s office was $280,000.

Chatham to revise mask ordinance for vaccinated people to follow CDC


One day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its guidance on wearing masks, Chatham County Commission Chairman Chester Ellis announced the county would follow suit and rewrite its mask order.
"We're going to make it in line with what the CDC has put out that if you are fully vaccinated — make sure I'm saying this right — if you are fully vaccinated, you don't have to do the mask," Ellis said at Friday's commission meeting, turning to Coastal Health District Director Dr. Lawton Davis for confirmation.
The CDC announced Thursday that "fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance."

CHATHAM COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - As the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic continues, Chatham County officials are still tracking the trends in the area.
Coastal Health District leaders covered COVID hospitalizations, vaccine hesitancy and plans moving forward for vaccination efforts at Friday’s Chatham County Commission meeting.
Earlier this month, COVID hospitalizations reached the lowest levels since last June, dipping below 20. But that number is trending up.
“Our Chatham area hospitalizations for, up until April 28, are slightly up. So, we don’t know...hopefully not an ongoing trend, hopefully it’s unrelated to anything. But it is up a little bit,” Chatham County Nurse Manager Tammi Brown said.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Despite changes to the CDC’s masking guidance, Chatham County Chairman Chester Ellis says nothing will change for their mask mandate.
While the current order is set to expire Friday, he signed a new one Thursday that will go into effect so there is no lapse.
He says he takes a lot of advice into consideration before making the decision from doctors, agencies and more.
