Long County commissioners adopt county manager ordinance, award engineering contract and approve routine measures
Summary
At a Feb. 4 Long County Board meeting, commissioners adopted a County Manager ordinance, awarded an on‑call engineering services contract to Maverick Engineering, LLC, approved routine minutes and bills, and recorded several unanimous procedural votes.
On Feb. 4 the Long County Board of Commissioners met in Ludowici and approved a series of administrative and procurement actions, including the adoption of a County Manager ordinance and the award of an on‑call engineering contract.
Chairman James Craft called the meeting to order at 6:05 p.m. Commissioners unanimously approved an amended agenda (which added a moratorium item), the January 2024 minutes and authorization to pay county bills. County Attorney James Smith read the second reading of the proposed County Manager ordinance; Commissioner John Reddish moved for adoption, Commissioner Gerald Blocker seconded and the ordinance passed unanimously.
The board also unanimously awarded the bid for on‑call professional engineering and consulting services to Maverick Engineering, LLC after a motion by Commissioner Jeremy Hall and second by Commissioner Reddish. Other routine procedural motions—approving minutes and authorizing payment of bills—were approved by unanimous vote as well.
Why it matters: The County Manager ordinance changes the county’s governance structure and will be effective as adopted by the board. The on‑call engineering contract gives the county an identified vendor for future public‑works planning and technical support.
The meeting record shows that the motions were made and seconded on the Feb. 4 agenda and recorded as passing; specific ordinance text and contract terms were part of the meeting packet but not read into the transcript. The board later entered and exited an executive session by unanimous vote and adjourned the meeting.
