Votes at a glance: Macon-Bibb Commission actions, Jan. 6, 2026
Summary
The commission elected Valerie Wynne mayor pro tem, reappointed two officials, unanimously supported a letter backing a nonprofit’s CHIP grant application for 10 homes, and authorized a $1,343,553.99 Walnut Street contract (all items forwarded to the consent agenda).
Here are the formal actions taken by the Macon-Bibb County Commission on Jan. 6, 2026, as recorded in the meeting transcript.
Valerie Wynne elected mayor pro tem: After nominations from the floor, the presiding officer called for a vote and stated the result "appears to be 5 to 3," then took a roll call in which Wynne said she voted for herself. The presiding officer declared Valerie Wynne elected mayor pro tem; the transcript records the presiding officer’s calculation rather than a complete, explicit roll-call tally for every commissioner.
Robert Redmond reappointed to Planning & Zoning Commission: The commission moved and seconded a reappointment of Robert Redmond based on a letter of recommendation from the planning and zoning director. The motion passed; Commissioner Bryant recorded a nay vote on the record and said she objected because another potential nominee (Adrian Harmon) had not been equally considered and because of fairness concerns related to how criminal-history checks were applied.
Melinda Robinson Moffitt reappointed to Housing Authority: The commission approved a resolution reappointing Melinda Robinson Moffitt to the Macon Housing Authority Board of Commissioners; the motion carried and was sent to the consent agenda.
Resolution supporting CHIP grant application for 10 homes (sent to consent): The commission voted unanimously to send a resolution of support for a nonprofit’s application to DCA for up to $1.5 million in CHIP funds to construct 10 homes limited to buyers at 80% AMI (see separate article for details).
Walnut Street contract authorized for consent agenda: The commission authorized sending to the consent agenda an independent contractor agreement with Boston Construction LLC for roadway and parking improvements on Walnut Street in the amount of $1,343,553.99 to be funded from 2018 SPLOST road funds.
Other procedural votes: The commission voted to continue its committee-of-the-whole committee selection process and approved several sets of prior minutes; those items were forwarded to the consent agenda.
