Rockdale County approves consent agenda of contracts, grants and procurements including United Way Pathways to Home addendum
Summary
The Board approved a multi‑item consent agenda on April 14, including grant amendments for accountability and drug courts, procurement renewals (Granicus agenda management), water treatment chemical purchases, and a memorandum of understanding with United Way for a Pathways to Home first‑time homebuyer program addendum.
At its April 14 meeting the Rockdale County Board of Commissioners approved a broad consent agenda that included grant change orders, memoranda of understanding and routine procurements across county departments.
Among the fiscal items approved were change orders and grant awards for court‑related services: a $6,500 change order (contract 2024‑123) to add group sessions provided by Nadia Thornton for Superior Court 1 accountability courts (26 weeks at $250 per session), an $18,094 addition to a Rockdale County adult drug court emergency grant (contract 2025‑110) raising that grant to $367,969, and a $25,875 emergency grant addition for enhancement services in the adult mental health court (contract 2025‑111) for a new total of $233,310. Several memoranda of understanding were approved for treatment services for accountability court participants.
The Board approved routine procurements and renewals, including a $139,698.30 three‑year renewal with Granicus LLC for agenda and meeting management software, a $6,125 one‑year purchase with Deckard Technologies for short‑term rental software, and the purchase of sodium chloride from Univar Solutions USA with an updated unit price (from $0.114 per pound to $0.13 per pound) totaling $156,000 for the water treatment plant. The Board also authorized topographic surveys for sanitary sewer modifications and a roof replacement contract for a Water Resources building.
The Board approved a requisition through the sheriff’s office for a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado ($35,605) and a large training purchase for Police Executive Research Forum ICAT mental health intervention training ($88,920).
A consent vote approved items numbered 2026‑187 through 2026‑213 by voice vote. Commissioners noted these are budgeted or grant‑funded items where applicable.
United Way Pathways to Home: Separately but as part of new business, the Board approved an addendum to contract 2026‑45 with United Way of Greater Atlanta for the Pathways to Home program (first‑time homebuyer program). A commissioner said wording changes were made but the program’s structure remains intact and final execution would occur after minor edits; the motion passed by voice vote.
What happens next: Funded and budgeted items proceed to contract execution and vendor coordination; grant‑funded services will continue under the grant terms and periods specified in the approved documents.
