Glynn County officials opened the quarterly execution review by reviewing the SPLOST 2022 referendum and current collections. Staff said voters approved $133 million in the referendum and that 78% of the referendum was designated for county distribution, though some Tier 1 projects for the city and partner agencies (airport, Jekyll Island, EDA, Jordan Water & Sewer) mean the county’s direct share of Tier 1 was closer to 58–59 percent.

County staff reported total collections of about $92,000,000 to date and a current monthly collection average of approximately $2,980,000. Commissioners discussed the referendum assumptions — staff noted that the referendum text anticipated a monthly collection range between $1.8 million and $2.4 million, which produced the $133 million to $170 million range cited when the referendum was developed.

Commissioners asked staff to ensure project pages and the public SPLOST portal clearly show where allocations flow when a specific project draws from a pooled funding bucket rather than carrying an original project-level budget. Staff reiterated that pooled “buckets” (drainage, sidewalks, resurfacing) show full category allocations on the category page and move funds into individual project pages when contracts issue.

The meeting closed the overview by noting 38 SPLOST 2022 projects exist in the county program: 14 complete, 21 active (in design/construction), and 3 not yet started. Officials said they will continue quarterly public reporting and update the public portal with any schedule, budget or funding clarifications.
