During public comment Tangela Chipman, a homeowner in Midway, told the Gadsden County Commission that a large hole and erosion beneath her driveway at 225 Sand Pine Circle opened after storms in June 2024 and has continued to grow. Chipman said the city of Midway, the builder and county staff had each told her the problem was someone else’s responsibility and that she had sent multiple letters and photographs without resolution.

Chipman said the erosion runs from under her driveway to the street, that a culvert has begun to break off, and that she feared the driveway could collapse and damage vehicles or injure visitors. She said she had contacted the county administrator and the city attorney and that she had obtained a private contractor inspection and estimate from a company she named.

A city official at the meeting (identified in public remarks as Antonio Gibbs) and the county chair said the problem appears to be in the City of Midway’s right‑of‑way and that the city had agreed to have an engineer inspect the site and recommend repairs. The county chair said Midway officials would confirm engineering recommendations and that the county would follow up once the city engineer provides an assessment.

Meeting participants advised the homeowner on temporary monitoring measures such as placing small flags, setting a visible marker or rebar to track further settlement, and contacting the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for guidance. Chipman said she might pay a contractor and seek reimbursement from the city or county if those entities later determined they were responsible.

No formal county action or vote on repair responsibility occurred during the meeting; county staff and Midway officials agreed to an engineering inspection and to follow up with the homeowner.
