Haralson County commissioners approve hires, a truck purchase, propane contract and budget amendment at called meeting
Summary
At a called meeting, commissioners approved hiring Michael Nagy as planning and zoning department head, authorized a public works truck purchase, awarded a two‑year propane contract to River City at $1.19/gal (12/01/2025–11/30/2027), and adopted Budget Amendment 2025; several procurement items were deferred for specification checks.
Haralson County commissioners approved a slate of routine personnel and procurement items and adopted a budget amendment during a called meeting.
Commissioners moved and approved hiring Michael Nagy as planning and zoning department head after a motion and second; the transcript records the motion, the spelled surname and a voice/hand vote but not a roll‑call tally. Speaker 4 moved to hire and the chair called for a vote.
Public Works presented a request to purchase a replacement truck from splash funds after two trucks suffered major mechanical failures. The board approved the purchase following a motion and second.
Staff opened propane bids for county facilities and fire stations. Blossman bid $1.449 per gallon; River City bid $1.19 per gallon. Commissioners approved a two‑year contract with River City at $1.19 per gallon beginning Dec. 1, 2025, and running through Nov. 30, 2027.
Bids for Station 9 driveway repair were read (Broadstreet Contract Services $38,980; ATL Prime Services $29,500). Commissioners asked staff to verify both bids meet the same specifications and deferred a final award to the November meeting.
The board discussed a proposed Budget Amendment 2025. A motion to accept the amendment was moved and seconded and the chair announced the motion carries following a voice/hand vote. One commissioner asked staff to email department‑by‑department first‑quarter (July–Sept) spending to the board before the next work session.
Procedural motions to waive the reading of previous minutes and to approve the meeting agenda were made and approved by voice/hand vote early in the meeting. The board later made a motion to enter executive session to discuss personnel; the available transcript ends shortly after and no roll‑call vote is recorded in the provided text.
