Cusseta–Chattahoochee County commission ends Ft. Benning stray contract, appoints library trustee and approves grant pursuit, vehicle purchase
Summary
At its Nov. 4 meeting the Cusseta–Chattahoochee County Commission voted unanimously to end a contract with a Fort Benning stray facility, appoint Teresa Williams to the library board, authorize pursuit of an economic-development sewer grant, and approve purchase of a 2025 Ford Maverick for Public Works/Water.
Chairman Charles Coffey called the Nov. 4, 2025 meeting of the Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta–Chattahoochee County to order at 9:00 a.m., and the commission moved through a series of routine approvals and four substantive agenda items that passed unanimously.
The commission voted to end the county’s contract with a Fort Benning stray facility after members concluded the county could not meet the requirements of that intergovernmental service agreement. Commissioner Gerald Douglas moved the motion and Commissioner Jason Frost seconded; the minutes state the county will “work with them through the notice.”
The commission unanimously approved the appointment of Teresa Williams to the Cusseta–Chattahoochee Library Board of Trustees to complete a term beginning Dec. 5, 2023 and expiring Dec. 31, 2026. The minutes include a formal resolution adopting the appointment.
Commissioners also granted permission to pursue an economic development sewer grant/application after a motion by Commissioner Damon Hoyte seconded by Commissioner Frost. The minutes record no additional details about the program or dollar amounts; the action is described as “permission to pursue.”
Finally, the board approved buying a new 2025 Ford Maverick for the Public Works/Water department. The meeting packet includes a vendor quote listing a government price of $29,505 from Brannen Motor Company; Commissioner Timothy Biddle moved the purchase and Commissioner Gerald Douglas seconded.
The commission entered executive session at 9:22 a.m. to discuss legal and land matters and reconvened at 9:50 a.m., with Chairman Coffey stating that subjects discussed fell within legal exceptions to Georgia’s open meetings law and that no votes were taken while in closed session. The regular meeting was adjourned at 9:54 a.m.
Minutes show all items passed by unanimous vote. The purchase quote and the library-resignation/replacement timeline are included in the official packet and the minutes; next procedural steps include any contract-notice work for the Fort Benning agreement and staff follow-up on the grant application process.
