Gordon County commissioners approve fleet purchase, GDOT crossing agreement and several routine county actions
Summary
At its April 2025 meeting, the Gordon County Board of Commissioners approved a four‑truck purchase for the sheriff's office, a GDOT memorandum for a railroad crossing safety project, a district attorney personnel contract extension, multiple surplus declarations, a retirement weapon award and a settlement on the Mount Olive Project.
The Gordon County Board of Commissioners approved a slate of routine purchasing, contracting and personnel actions at its April 2025 meeting.
The board voted to purchase four 2025 Ford F-150 pickup trucks from Prager Ford for use by the Sheriff's Office at $50,140.16 each, a total of $200,560.64, to be charged to GL account 329543200. Unidentified Speaker 1 introduced the request; the motion to approve was made and seconded and the board voted to carry the motion.
The board also approved a memorandum of agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) for highway‑rail grade crossing safety improvements at County Road 476 (Hill City Road), Railroad Crossing ID 719730P. The agreement was presented by staff and approved after a motion, second and voice vote.
Other approvals included declaring certain Fire & Rescue equipment surplus for listing on GovDeals, a purchasing request to deem certain Sheriff's Office funds surplus to be allocated to GL account 210351177, and a request from the County Attorney to approve a settlement agreement regarding the Mount Olive Project. Each item was moved, seconded and approved by the board.
The board approved a state‑paid, county‑reimbursed personnel contract extension and resolution with the Prosecuting Attorney's Council of Georgia; the transcript records the fiscal year text as '02/1926' (record appears garbled) and does not specify a clear fiscal year in the minutes. The board approved the extension by recorded motion and voice vote.
The board also approved awarding a service weapon to Deputy Walter Crump upon his retirement and declaring that item surplus. The motion was made, seconded and carried.
Minutes from the April 2025 work and regular sessions were adopted later in the meeting, and the board adjourned.
Votes at a glance: all listed motions were approved by voice vote with no recorded roll‑call tallies in the transcript; individual movers and seconders were not named for most items in the record. Unidentified Speaker 1 repeatedly closed items by asking, "All in favor?" and stating, "And motion carries."
