RFCDA tables two reimbursement votes after recusals

Jul 21, 2026

Votes on payment to tree-trimmer Ira Levy and on a $2,500 Chamber reimbursement were tabled to the next meeting due to recusals by Chair Jimmy Byars and member Evie McNiece, respectively.

The full story

The board discussed two separate reimbursement items during New Business but tabled both votes. Jamie McCord reported an invoice from Ira Levy for $6,000 for tree trimming; an agreement to pay $3,000 was noted but the board tabled the formal vote to the next meeting because Chair Jimmy Byars needed to recuse himself. Separately, the board considered paying the Rome-Floyd Chamber $2,500 to support a Georgia Department of Transportation board visit; that vote was tabled because Evie McNiece recused herself.
