Commission approves rezoning, equipment purchase, paving reimbursement, cleaning contracts, surplus sale and $3,260 internship grant
Summary
At its regular meeting the Gordon County Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning request, purchased public works equipment, accepted reimbursement for paving materials, awarded two annual cleaning contracts, declared surplus property for auction, and accepted a $3,260 Georgia County Internship Program grant.
The Gordon County Board of Commissioners approved multiple routine agenda items at its regular meeting, including a rezoning application, public‑works purchases and reimbursements, cleaning contracts, surplus declarations for auction and acceptance of a small internship grant.
Rezoning: The board approved application Z2024‑033 to rezone 2.11 acres at 120 Quail Hollow Drive NW in Sugar Valley from agricultural to low‑density residential (R‑1). Planning staff recommended approval, and the county planning commission voted 5‑0 to approve the application. The board voted to approve the rezoning; a roll call recorded affirmative votes from Mister Stewart, Mister Abernathy, Mister Sutherland, Mister Cunningham and Chair Owens.
Public works purchase: The board approved the purchase of a flex‑wing offset rotary mower from Smith's Equipment Company for $21,740 using GL account 329542200341; the item was budgeted in 2024.
Paving reimbursement: The board accepted an estimate of $20,021.02 to be reimbursed from the city of Plainville for paving materials allocated to Park Street as part of LMEC; the Plainville city council had approved the reimbursement.
Cleaning contracts: The board approved annual cleaning contracts with Gordon Cleaning Services for the AG Center at $15,600 (GL account 419522133) and for the Administration Building, Government Plaza and juvenile court at $40,040 (GL account 419522133). County staff noted the contracts are partially offset by not filling a vacant building‑and‑grounds position.
Surplus sale: The board declared certain county items surplus to be sold at an auction scheduled for Feb. 28–Mar. 1.
Internship grant: The board accepted a Georgia County Internship Program grant of $3,260 from the Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG). The grant is reimbursement‑based and will be used to hire administration interns for summer 2025 for a special project.
All votes on the listed items carried; most were adopted by voice vote with the board saying "all in favor" and no recorded dissents.
