Chattahoochee County ends contract with Fort Benning stray facility
Summary
The Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County Commission voted unanimously Nov. 4 to end its contract with the Fort Benning stray facility, saying the intergovernmental service agreement did not meet county requirements and that the county will work through the notice period.
At its Nov. 4 meeting, the Commission of the Unified Government of Cusseta‑Chattahoochee County voted unanimously to terminate the county’s contract with the Fort Benning stray facility. Commissioner Gerald Douglas moved to end the agreement; Commissioner Jason Frost seconded the motion, and the vote was recorded as unanimous.
The meeting minutes state that other intergovernmental service agreements (IGSAs) “are going wonderful,” but that this particular contract “is not” meeting the county’s requirements; the commission said it would work with the provider through the notice period. The minutes do not quote a specific commissioner on the detailed reasons or provide the text of a termination notice.
The termination was recorded as a formal motion on the Nov. 4 agenda; no additional procurement or replacement plan for animal services was specified in the minutes. The board subsequently entered an executive session later in the meeting for legal and land matters and reconvened without recording votes taken during the closed session. The regular meeting adjourned at 9:54 a.m.
