Commission begins 90‑day process on cemetery ordinance; asks staff to investigate grave marker damage
Summary
The commission posted a proposed cemetery ordinance and began the 90‑day process on Aug. 5, 2025, scheduling second reading at an upcoming work session; the county manager was asked to investigate reported damage to grave markers to determine if it was accidental or vandalism.
Cusseta–Chattahoochee County commissioners initiated the process to adopt a cemetery ordinance on Aug. 5, 2025, posting the proposed change and setting a second reading for an upcoming work session as part of the required 90‑day process.
Chairman Charles Coffey asked County Manager Thomas Weaver to investigate a citizen’s report that recent mowing or other activity had damaged grave markers; managers were asked to determine whether the damage resulted from public‑works mowing or from vandalism. No ordinance vote occurred at the meeting; the clerk recorded that the item is at first reading and will be posted on the county website with a second reading scheduled at the next work session before any final vote.
County Attorney Bin Minter noted the ordinance process timeline and the clerk confirmed terms and timing of appointments affected by related board changes. The commission did not adopt any regulatory text at the meeting — it started the process and asked staff to report findings on the reported grave‑marker damage.
