Ware County commissioners approve $658,843 paving contract, pledge $300,000 for State Patrol Post 22 and abandon Pine Hill Street
Summary
At their Feb. 9 meeting the Ware County Board of Commissioners approved a $658,843.51 paving estimate for four roads, committed $300,000 to construct State Patrol Post 22 and voted to close/abandon Pine Hill Street; all recorded motions passed in roll-call votes.
The Ware County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously on several agenda items at its Feb. 9, 2026 regular meeting, approving a paving contract, committing county funding for a state patrol post and voting to abandon a county street.
On a motion by Commissioner Jon Tindall, seconded by Commissioner Barry Cox, the board approved cost estimates from Hofstatder and Associates totaling $658,843.51 to pave Folks Bennett Road, Solomon Street, Will Cox Road and Gooding Bay Road. A roll-call vote recorded Commissioners Leonard Burse, Jon Tindall, Timmy Lucas, Barry Cox and Chairman Elmer Thrift voting “aye,” and the motion passed. The minutes list the vendor name as “Hofstatder and Associates” (as written in the minutes); the record does not provide further vendor contact or bidding detail.
Commissioner Timmy Lucas moved, and Commissioner Jon Tindall seconded, approval of a Commitment of Funding Letter to provide $300,000 toward construction of State Patrol Post 22. The roll-call vote recorded five “ayes” and the motion passed.
Commissioner Jon Tindall moved and Commissioner Leonard Burse seconded a motion to close and abandon Pine Hill Street. The minutes record a roll-call vote with Commissioners Leonard Burse, (Commissioner) Pope, Timmy Lucas, Barry Cox and Chairman Elmer Thrift voting “aye” and the motion passing. The attendance list earlier in the minutes did not list Commissioner Pope among those marked present, and the minutes contain a roll-call/attendance inconsistency; the article reports votes as they appear in the minutes rather than resolving that discrepancy.
The meeting also approved the agenda and consent items (minutes from Jan. 12, 2026) by unanimous vote and adjourned at 5:55 p.m. The minutes record a proposed date for final approval of these minutes as March 9, 2026.
No additional implementation details (contract award signatures, project timeline, or location specifics for State Patrol Post 22 construction) were recorded in the minutes.
