Wayne County commission approves several contracts, software upgrade, property sale and appointments
Summary
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Wayne County commission approved an airport reimbursement of $66,391.15, a BS&A cloud and module upgrade, sale of a 0.2-acre parcel for $1,627, a JAG probation contract, and multiple appointments, and adopted a proclamation for America's 250th.
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Wayne County Board of Commissioners approved a set of routine but consequential actions: a $66,391.15 up‑front payment for an airport apron repaving project to be reimbursed by the state DOT; a cloud migration and module upgrade for the county’s BS&A financial and human‑resources software; the sale of a 0.2‑acre remnant parcel (J‑38‑3‑4) for $1,627 to an adjoining owner; a contract to transfer local probation supervision to Judicial Alternatives of Georgia (JAG), and the adoption of a proclamation declaring Wayne County’s observance of America 250.
Clerk and staff described the BS&A upgrade as a three‑part project that includes cloud hosting, a purchase‑order module and a fixed‑asset inventory module intended to improve records accessibility and fixed‑asset tracking. IT staff told commissioners the cloud environment is typically more secure than on‑premises servers; commissioners asked for contract/fee details to be provided and the motion was carried with that contingency.
The board also approved a $100,000 contingency amendment to the Parish courthouse design contract to cover unforeseen conditions. Commissioners approved routine appointments (Randy Parks to the grievance committee; Jackie Hoyt to the Heart of Georgia RDA third‑party seat; Steve Larson to Solid Waste Authority District 1) and confirmed changes to a beer‑and‑wine manager name for Parkers following background checks.
