The Liberty County Board of Commissioners on Monday held its first public hearing regarding the upcoming millage-rate adoption. The hearing began with a presentation from county Chief Financial Officer Kim McGlothlin, who explained that 67 percent of the county’s general fund is allocated to mandatory services, which “by law, (the county) must fund.” Mandated services include the governing body, all boards, court services, the sheriff’s department, the jail and emergency management, among others.
