Bibb County approves consent agenda: alcohol licenses, grants, housing contracts and routine purchases
Summary
Commissioners approved a broad consent agenda including denial of one alcohol license under Bib County policy 4-122A, multiple license approvals, a $194,361.95 SCBA purchase, a paving contract award, FAA grant acceptance and a $345,767 Habitat for Humanity housing contract.
The Bibb County Commission approved a lengthy consent agenda that bundled routine licenses, grants, purchase orders and professional services. Key outcomes included:
- Denial of A1: The A1 Stop alcohol-license application was denied because it failed the county distance requirement from Heritage Methodist Church under Bib County policy 4-122A.
- Alcohol licenses B–K: Multiple restaurant and retail license applicants (items B through K) were approved after legal review confirmed statutory requirements and certificates of good standing.
- Purchases and contracts: The commission approved a $194,361.95 purchase order to Fiser Scientific Company LLC for SCBA breathing apparatus for the fire department; awarded a sealed-bid paving contract (approx. $3,248,988.49) for resurfacing using LMIG grant funds; and authorized contract labor purchase orders for the district attorney's office.
- Housing and grants: The commission authorized a $345,767 contract with Macon-area Habitat for Humanity to build two single-family houses on land bank parcels and accepted an FAA airport infrastructure grant (up to $2,618,518) with a local match of $137,816.74. The county also authorized applying for a 2026 Georgia rehousing grant (estimated $900,000 to $8 million) focused on Brookdale-area projects and partner organizations.
All items on the consent agenda were moved, seconded and approved without recorded dissent and will be processed through the county's administrative channels.
Why it matters: The package covers a range of operational, safety and housing investments that will proceed with standard procurement and grant-acceptance processes. The alcohol-license denial illustrates local policy enforcement for proximity to protected uses (a church).
