Summary

The Georgetown‑Quitman County Commission approved Resolution R18‑2024 to start the legal and administrative procedure for closing an old county road at adjoining landowners’ request; the motion passed unanimously among recorded voters.

The Georgetown‑Quitman County Commission voted Jan. 14 to approve Resolution R18‑2024, which begins the county’s official procedure for abandoning an old county road that adjoining landowners requested to close. Commissioner Jim Hayes moved to approve the resolution; David Kinsey seconded the motion and commissioners Bussey, Kinsey, Hayes and Blackmon recorded yes votes.

Chairman Carvel Lewis read the resolution aloud and County Manager Jason Weeks summarized the matter, saying the county attorney has reviewed the required steps and that the resolution is the first formal step in the process. Weeks described the request as coming from adjoining landowners who sought a formal closure for a road the transcript described as having been closed since the early 1980s.

The action was recorded as a formal resolution approval; the commission did not record additional amendments or conditions at the meeting. The resolution’s approval directs staff to follow the statutory and administrative steps specified in Resolution R18‑2024, including legal review and notice procedures, before any physical change to county roads occurs.

The commission’s next procedural steps, based on the resolution text read at the meeting, include any required notifications to affected property owners and formal filings; the minutes do not record subsequent deadlines or a final closure date.
