2004 COUNTY GOVERNMENT INFORMATION CATALOG
What Information is Included in the Catalog? The 2004 County Government Information Catalog is a comprehensive guide to the organization and operations of Georgia's
local governments. The Catalog is unique in that it provides the data collected directly from local governments including:
Management functions Services provided Financial management practices Planning, zoning and development procedures
Public facilities Economic development activities Public safety Form of government
What is the Purpose of the Catalog? Local elected officials, administrators, state agencies and academics are among those who find the Catalog a useful source of comprehensive information on local government operations in the State. While providing information on specific subjects such as public safety or services provided, the primary purpose of the Catalog is identifying general patterns of government management and operations.
Cautions: Due to the large variety of local conditions and characteristics of the governments participating in the mandated survey and the turnover of local government employees, individual responses to specific survey questions may not be consistent from year to year. In addition, data is self-reported and not verified by an outside source. The data presented is best used in summary form to reflect general management practices and services among governments of a similar size.
How is the Data Collected? The data was collected through the Government Management Indicators (GOMI) survey prepared by the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA) and administered to every county in Georgia with a response rate of 98.1 percent (156 counties of the 159 counties).
How Do I Use the Catalog? 1. Determine the population group of the county for which you want information and whether the county responded to the survey. In each of the tables, counties are grouped by population and listed alphabetically within in each group to aid comparisons of similarly sized counties. 2. Use the "Table of Contents" to determine which tables are most likely to have the information you need. 3. Note that each chapter is paginated separately. Some chapters have several sets of tables with pages numbered accordingly. Example: Page 2.b 1 is the first page of the second table (Table B) in Chapter Two (Services Provided). 4. Each set of tables is preceded by a summary of totals and averages for each population group. The summary tables are useful for comparing an individual city to an aggregate of governments in its population group, and provide an overview of the data in each table.

CHAPTER 5 Financial Management Practices
This chapter covers aspects of a local government's finances including financial administration, budgeting, and use of revenue options.
Specific items covered in this chapter: Preparation and approval of annual operating budget For
governments with an annual operating budget, either the finance
officer, elected or appointed executive, city/county clerk, or a
combination is responsible for preparing the budget. Presence of a full-time finance director Type of finance software used Existence of capital budget This budget is prepared by some
governments to account for the acquisition of equipment and
construction of facilities over a period of time, separate from the
annual operating budget. Financial policies For some governments there are written
policies to govern investment activities and interfund transfers. Types of special tax districts Special tax districts allow cities
to collect a tax for services directly benefiting the district such as
sanitation, drainage and storm water, sewerage, street lighting, street construction, police and fire. Distribution of local option sales tax (LOST) State law allows a county and cities within the county jointly to levy a 1 percent sale and use tax. There are several ways of distributing the tax proceeds among cities within a county. Collection and use of special purpose local option sales tax (SPLOST) State law also allows adoption of a special local option sales tax for any of the specified purposes in statute. Assessment and collection of occupation tax, regulatory fees and user fees Governments may levy taxes on occupations according to state law. The allowable assessment methods include a fixed fee, or an assessment based on number of employees, gross receipts, and profitability ratios.
