Gordon County commissioners approve contracts, appointments and a health-expansion resolution
Summary
In a single meeting the board approved a package of appointments, contract renewals and awards — including a cybersecurity contract, debris-removal renewals, the Moberman construction manager selection for the Ranger Community Center, an MOU on a PILOT agreement, and a resolution urging the General Assembly to accept federal funding for health insurance expansion.
After closing public hearings, the Gordon County Board of Commissioners moved through a block of routine and policy items and approved multiple motions on Dec. 17.
Appointments and licenses: The board approved 2025 committee assignments and reappointments to planning and zoning and regional commissions, and approved grouped renewal licenses (one license contingent on receipt of payment).
Contracts and services: The board approved a $31,040 cybersecurity consulting contract with CRO LLC (budgeted to GL account 41153164); authorized the chair to sign letters of support for the Broadband Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program; and approved renewal options with KDF Enterprises and an addendum with Southern Disaster Recovery for debris removal services. The board also approved declaring certain sheriff's-office items surplus for sale and transferred a firearm per sheriff's request.
Capital projects and economic development: The board named Moberman Construction as construction manager at-risk for the Ranger Community Center. It also approved a memorandum of understanding among the Gordon County Development Authority, Board of Assessors, Tax Commissioner and CFL Holding USA regarding a payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOT) arrangement.
Policy action: Commissioners adopted a resolution requesting the General Assembly accept federal funding to implement a full expansion of health insurance coverage. Motions on each item were made, seconded, and passed by roll call or voice votes as recorded in the meeting packet.
Next steps: Contracts and renewals proceed under submitted scopes; staff will complete procurement and contracting steps as required and return any items needing additional board action to future agendas.
